B There is an amazing river running deep through the Amazon rainforest in Peru. The water temperatures along the river are from 5oC to 9oC, and in some parts, they can almost reach the boiling point of 10oC. The river's existence(存在) was officially confirmed(证实) in 2011 by a scientist named Andres Ruzo. Ruzo heard lots of stories and legends(传说) about the strange river when he was young. 2C years after he'd heard this story, Ruzo's aunt told him she had seen the river. Guided by her, the young scientist finally found the river himself, and confirmed that its water did reach boiling temperatures. "Putting my hand into the river would give me third-degree 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 was amazing is that the local people always knew about this place. It is just a part of their everyday life. They cook with it, clean with it, and 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 I hope to keep it this way." 59. Why do people think the river is amazing? A. Because it's a legend in Peru. B. Because the water in the river is hot C. Because it can't be used by people. D. Because it is running deep through the Amazon rainforest 60. Who first knew the boiling river? A. Ruzo's grandfather. B. Andres Ruzo. C. The local people. D. Ruzo's uncle. 61. What does the underlined word "untamed" probably mean? C. Real. A.Soft, B.Wide. D.Wild. 英语 九年级下学期第二次阶段素质检测卷 第5页(共8页) 62. Which idea may Andres Ruzo agree with? A.

The ever smaller products have included pocket-sized computers and motorbikes which are the size of a backpack. The latest thing is a handbag which can pass through the eye of a needle(针). It has been sold for $ 63,75o online, according to a post(帖子) made by the company MSCHF on June 14th,2023. "Smaller than a grain(颗粒) of salt, this handbag is so small that you'll need a microscope (显微镜) to see it,”MSCHF wrote in the post. There are big handbags, normal handbags, and small handbags, but this is the final word in bag miniaturization. An object like a handbag is useful, but it becomes smaller and smaller. It is losing its original use until it turns into just a brand. The tiny handbag is 657 by 222 by 700 micrometers and was shown to the public in Paris in June. It was made with high technology which uses 3D printers. MSCHF chose the technology to see how small a handbag they eould make. MSCHF's creative officer Kevin Wiesner was interviewed by The New York Times. "I think the bag is a funny object because it comes from something practical," Wiesner said. “But in fact. it has become jewelry(珠宝)" 63. Why does the first paragraph mention the eye of a needle? A. To explain the handbag's value. B. To discuss the handbag's problem. C. To prove how small this handbag is. D. To show how good the handbag looks 64. What does the underlined word "It”refer to(指的是)? A. The tiny handbag. B. The microscope C.The post. D. The technology 65. According to the text, MSCHF A. is a company that only makes bags B. has made plenty of smaller objects C. thinks miniaturization will be less popular D. used high technology in making the handbag D If you have never been to China Braille(盲文) Library(CBL), vou cannot imagine what it is like. It is open to the 17 million blind people in China. The borrowers can make phone calls, or send WeChat messages or emails to the library, asking for the books they are looking for. The library then finds out these books, puts them into the mailing bag, fills in the address of the borrower on the other side of the card and waits for a postman to pick up the bag. Whenever the borrower finishes reading, he or she needs to put the books back into the bag, turn the address card around and put it into a postbox so that the books can be returned to the library. It is quite convenient for blind people to borrow and return books. On the third floor, there are several big reading rooms with large windows. On the fifth 九年级下学期第二次阶段素质检测卷 英语 第6页(共8页) floor, there is a museum. At the door, one can borrow earphones(耳机) to listen to recorded voices of guides who will take the listener all the way, from the historical wonders of ancient China to the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and ancient technological achievements. CBL. also has a 20-sauare-meter room called"Try Darkness", Here all the ligb:s are turned off and the door is fully closed not to let in any light so there is nothing but darkness n this room. It helps people understand how a blind person feels. Although it takes just about 10 minutes, it feels like an hour-long journey. 66. How many ways can the borrowers ask for the books from CBL? C. Three. A.One. B.Two. D.Four. 67. What does the borrower need to do when finishing reading? ①find out these books ②put the books back into the bag ③turn the address card around ④put the card into a postbox wait for a postman to pick up the bag fill in the address of the borrower B.②③④ C.① A.①②③ D.③④ 68.

Why are the lights turned off in the "Try Darkness"? A. To save time and money. B. To experience the blind's feeling. C. To make it enjoyable. D. To close the door not to let in any light E When you hear the word"shapeshifting"(变身), you may think of movies, and not the climate(气候). But that's what animals are doing to deal with climate change. A new study shows that some animals are growing larger beaks(喙), legs and ears. In this way they can lose heat more easily to cool themselves down as Earth gets warmer. “A lot of the time when we talk about climate change, we ask'Can humans deal with this?' or'What technology can solve this?'. But we should know that animals also have to get used to these changes," said Sara Ryding from Deakin University, Australia. If animals fail to control their body temperature, they can overheat and die. In one example, the beaks of some Australian parrots have grown 4 to 10 percent larger since 1871. The study says it has something to do with rising summer temperatures over the years. Similar examples include wood mice. They have longer tails and legs and bats in warm climates have bigger wings. Although the changes are still small, Ryding said they could be much clearer as the days become hotter. “Body parts like ears are predicted to be bigger, so we might end up with a live action Dumbo (big-eared elephant from a Disney cartoon) 1n the near future," Ryding told BBC 70. Why do anmals change their shapes along with climate change? A. To collect heat. B. To stay cool. C. To hide themselves D. To find more food 71. What does Sara Ryding mean in Paragraph 3? A. Man can stop climate change. B. Man has got used to climate change. C. Climate change kills animals. D. Climate change influences both man and animals 九年级下学期第二次阶段素质检测卷 英语 第7页(共8页 72. What's the best title for the text A. Grow with the climate B. The importance of animals C. Live with cold weather D. The future of the earth 第二节 阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 t When I was in Grade Eight, I was the best student in class-I was good at almost all subjects.

B 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℃.The river's existence(存在)was officially confirmed(证实)in 2011 by a scientist named Andres Ruzo. Ruzo heard lots of stories and legends(传说)about the strange river when he was young.20 years after he'd heard this story,Ruzo's aunt told him she had seen the river. Guided by her,the young scientist finally found the river himself,and confirmed that its water did reach boiling temperatures. "Putting my hand into the river would give me third-degree 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 was amazing is that the local people always knew about this place.It is just a part of their everyday life.They cook with it,clean with it,and 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.I hope to keep it this way." 59.Why do people think the river is amazing? A.Because it's a legend in Peru. B.Because the water in the river is hot. C.Because it can't be used by people.

C Miniaturization(微型化)has been a goal of engineers and designers for a few years.The ever smaller products have included pocket-sized computers and motorbikes which are the size of a backpack.The latest thing is a handbag which can pass through the eye of a needle(针). It has been sold for $63,750 online,according to a post(帖子)made by the company MSCHF on June 14th,2023. "Smaller than a grain(颗粒)of salt,this handbag is so small that you'll need a microscope (显微镜)to see it,”MSCHF wrote in the post.Thereare big handbags,normal handbags,and small handbags,but this is the final word in bag miniaturization.An object like a handbag is useful,but it becomes smaller and smaller.It is losing its original use until it turns into just a brand. The tiny handbag is 657 by 222 by 700 micrometers and was shown to the public in Paris in June.It was made with high technology which uses 3D printers.MSCHF chose the technology to see how small a handbag they could make. MSCHF's creative officer Kevin Wiesner was interviewed by The New York Times.“I think the bag is a funny object because it comes from something practical,”Wiesner said.“But in fact, it has become jewelry(珠宝)” 63.Why does the first paragraph mention the eye of a needle?

It is open to the 17 million blind people in China.The borrowers can make phone calls,or send WeChat messages or emails to the library,asking for the books they are looking for.The library then finds out these books,puts them into the mailing bag,fills in the address of the borrower on the other side of the card and waits for a postman to pick up the bag.Whenever the borrower finishes reading,he or she needs to put the books back into the bag,turn the address card around and put it into a postbox so that the books can be returned to the library.It is quite convenient for blind people to borrow and return books. On the third floor,there are several big reading rooms with large windows.On the fifth floor,there is a museum.At the door,one can borrow earphones(耳机)to listen to recorded voices of guides who will take the listener all the way,from the historical wonders of ancient China to the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine,and ancient technological achievements. CBL also has a 20-square-meter room called“Try Darkness”.Here all the lights are turned off and the door is fully closed not to let in any light so there is nothing but darkness in this room.It helps people understand how a blind person feels.Although it takes just about 10 minutes,it feels like an hour-long journey. 66.How many ways can the borrowers ask for the books from CBL? A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four. 67.What does the borrower need to do when finishing reading? ①find out these books ②put the books back into the bag ③turn the address card around ④put the card into a postbox ⑤wait for a postman to pick up the bag ⑥fill in the address of the borrower A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①⑤⑥ D.③④⑤ 68.Which is TRUE about the CBL museum?

B.To experience the blind's feeling. C.To make it enjoyable. D.To close the door not to let in any light. E When you hear the word“shapeshifting”(变身),you may think of movies,and not the climate(气候).But that's what animals are doing to deal with climate change. A new study shows that some animals are growing larger beaks(喙),legs and ears.In this way they can lose heat more easily to cool themselves down as Earth gets warmer. “A lot of the time when we talk about climate change,we ask‘Can humans deal with this?' or'What technology can solve this?'.But we should know that animals also have to get used to these changes,”said Sara Ryding from Deakin University,Australia.If animals fail to control their body temperature,they can overheat and die. In one example,the beaks of some Australian parrots have grown 4 to 10 percent larger since 1871.The study says it has something to do with rising summer temperatures over the years. Similar examples include wood mice.They have longer tails and legs and bats in warm climates have bigger wings. Although the changes are stillsmall,Ryding said they could be much clearer as the days become hotter.“Body parts like ears are predicted to be bigger,so we might end up with a live- action Dumbo(big-eared elephant from a Disney cartoon)in the near future,”Ryding told BBC. 70.Why do animals change their shapes along with climate change? A.To collect heat. B.To stay cool C.To hide themselves. D.To find more food. 71.What does Sara Ryding mean in Paragraph 3? A.Man can stop climate change. B.Man has got used to climate change.
