So he decided to ask for advice from a wise old woman who lived down the road. He told her about his problem. The wise old woman quickly had an answer for him. “Go home and bring all of your farm animals indoors to live in your house. ” The man thought this was bad advice. But since the old woman was known far and wide for her wisdom, he agreed to do as she said. He went home and brought inside all of his farm animals. As you can imagine, the animals made all kinds of noises. The dogs barked. The sheep bleated. The chickens clucked and the cows mooed. The man could find no comfort, no peace, so he went back to the wise old woman. She had been expecting him. She listened to him patiently and then offered some new advice. “Go home and take all of the animals out of your home，” she said. The man was confused(迷惑的).

C When it comes to mysteries, many people will think of the Bermuda Triangle. As one of the best­known mysteries of the modern age, this triangular­shaped area in the North Atlantic Ocean has interested a lot of people. But do you know there is a place in China called the “Bermuda Triangle on Land”？ It is the Paddle Maze(Mihundang). The Paddle Maze is located in Wawu Mountain in Hongya County, Meishan City. Wawu Mountain covers a large area and is home to lots of wild plants and animals. People used to look for herbs(药草)in the mountain，and some entered the Paddle Maze by accident. Those often lost their way and some even disappeared. Compasses and watches could be out of order in the area. Even GPS fails to work there. As a result, people stay away from this area, and the local government doesn't allow visitors to enter the mysterious place. As for the strange things that have happened in this area, people have lots of guesses. Some people believe that these things were caused by toxic(有毒的)gas in the forest. Others say that the chaotic(混乱的)magnetic field(磁场)makes it hard for people to find the direction. But there is no hard evidence(根据) for what has happened there. Although experts have made big efforts to find out the secrets of the Paddle Maze, many things about it remain a mystery. What do you think of the Paddle Maze? 9.

D There is an amazing river running deep through the Amazon Rainforest in Peru. The water temperatures along the river are from 50℃ to 90℃， and in some parts, they can almost reach the boiling point of 100℃. For the rest of the world, however, this natural wonder used to be just a legend. The river's existence (存在) was officially confirmed (证实) in 2011 by a scientist named Andres Ruzo. Ruzo heard about lots of stories and legends about the strange river when he was young. His grandfather told him that the river was discovered by Spanish persons hundreds of years ago when they traveled deep into the rainforest in search of gold. 20 years after he'd heard about this story, Ruzo's aunt told him she had seen the river first­hand. Guided by her, the young scientist finally found the river himself, and confirmed that its waters do reach the boiling temperature. “Dipping my hand into the river would give me third­degree burns in less than half a second. Falling in could easily kill me，” he wrote in his book The Boiling River: Adventure and Discovery in the Amazon. Ruzo said, “What is amazing is that the local people have always known about this place, and anyway I am not the first outsider to see it. It is just a part of their everyday life. They cook with the water, clean with it, even make their medicines with it. ” But so far, no one has been able to explain the secret of the boiling water. “It reminds us that there are still great wonders to be discovered，” Ruzo said. “The biggest part of the boiling river area is still original (原始的) and untamed—and we hope to keep it this way. ” 13. Why is the river called the natural wonder? A. Because the water in the river is hot. B. Because it is running deep through the Amazon Rainforest. C. Because people cook with the water and clean with it. D. Because it's a legend in Peru. 14. What does the underlined word “untamed” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Soft. B. Wild. C. Real. D. Wide. 15. Choose the correct time order according to the passage. ①Ruzo's aunt told him she had seen the river first­hand. ②The river's existence was officially confirmed by Andres Ruzo. ③Ruzo heard about lots of stories and legends about the strange river. ④The river was discovered by Spanish persons. A. ③①④② B. ②③①④ C. ③②①④ D. ④③①② 16. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Andres Ruzo was the first person to find the river. B.
