Before we took off, everyone suggested that I should put on thick clothes, as IT would be cold in the air, but in fact, I felt warm. The only problem was that I felt a bit uncomfortable in the basket. There were no seats, so IT was tiring to stand all the way. Soon IT was time to come down. Balloons often land somewhere like a farm or a park, but we came down on a playground. IT was all fantastic anyway. My name is adam.

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 an 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?
A. Soft. B. Wide. C. Real. D. Wild.
62. Which idea may Andres Ruzo agree with?
A. It’s not dangerous to swim in this river.
B. The secret of the Boiling River is still unknown.
C. All wonders in the world have been discovered.
D. The local government should use the river to make money.
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. 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 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?
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), you 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 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 10minutes, 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?
A. It is on the third floor. B. It shows model planes.
C. It can lend earphones. D. There’s only one guide.
69. 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.

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 the 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) 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.
C. Climate change kills animals. D. Climate change influences both man and animals.
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

When I was in Grade Eight, I was the best student in class—I was good at almost all subjects. Also, the teachers and my classmates all thought I was a girl with many talents and interests. I was very proud until my enemy, Lucy appeared.
She always competed with me. She could do a little better than me in exams unless I worked really hard. What’s more, she could even beat me in chess and reading competitions. I was so upset and told my father about it.
My father had a long talk with me. He said, “My girl, this is life: full of chances and challenges. Chances and challenges are competitions. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.”
I was still not sure what competition really meant. But I knew I must do better than Lucy. Since then, I always tried my best no matter what I did. Two years ago, I became a student of California Institute of Technology.
Looking back on these days competing with Lucy, I’m thankful to her. Competitions can help us be better persons.

We were up in the basket under the balloon for an hour, but the whole experience took three hours in all because of training before we took off. Everyone suggested that I should put on thick clothes as it would be cold in the air, but in fact I felt warm. The only problem was that I felt a bit uncomfortable in the basket. There were no seats, so it was tiring to stand all the way. Soon it was time to come down. Balloons often land somewhere like a farm or a park, but we came down on a playground.

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 an 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?
A. Soft. B. Wide. C. Real. D. Wild.
62. Which idea may Andres Ruzo agree with?

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. 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 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?
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
【答案】63. C 64. A 65. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了一款比一粒海盐还小的手提包,需要借助显微镜才能看到。这款微型手提包于2023年6月在巴黎向公众展示,采用了3D打印技术制作。
【63题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The latest thing is a handbag which can pass through the eye of a needle.”以及第二段“Smaller than a grain of salt, this handbag is so small that you’ll need a microscope to see it.”可知,最新的一项成果是能够穿过针眼的提包,这个提包太小了,需要借助显微镜才能看到它,由此可知,第一段提到针眼是为了证明这个手提包有多小。故选C。
【64题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“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.”可知,小巧的手提包尺寸为657×222×700微米,于六月在巴黎向公众展示,它采用高科技3D打印机制作而成,所以,此处it指的是上文提到的小的手提包。故选A。
【65题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It was made with high technology which uses 3D printers. MSCHF chose the technology to see how small a handbag they could make.”可知,它是由使用3D打印机的高科技制造的。MSCHF选择这项技术是为了看看他们能制作出多小的手提包,由此可知,MSCHF在制作手提包时使用了高科技。故选D。

If you have never been to China Braille (盲文) Library (CBL), you 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 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 10minutes, it feels like an hour-long journey.

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 the 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) 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.
C. Climate change kills animals. D. Climate change influences both man and animals.
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
【答案】70. B 71. D 72. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了动物正在通过 “变身” 来应对气候变化,即一些动物为了在地球变暖的情况下更易散热以降低体温,身体部位如喙、腿、耳朵、尾巴和翅膀等逐渐变大,并列举了澳大利亚鹦鹉、木鼠和蝙蝠等动物的例子,同时指出随着天气变得更热,这种变化可能会更加明显。
【70题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“In this way they can lose heat more easily to cool themselves down as the Earth gets warmer.”可知它们身体部位的变化可以帮助它们降温来适应气候变暖,选项B的“保持凉爽”符合题意。故选B。
【71题详解】
推理判断题。根据Sara Ryding讲的“But we should know that animals also have to get used to these changes.”可知动物和人类一样也要想办法适应气候变化,选项D的“气候变化影响了人类和动物”符合题意。故选D。
【72题详解】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知本文讲了动物通过 “变身” 来应对气候变化,选项A的“与气候共同生长”符合题意。故选A。

When I was in Grade Eight, I was the best student in class—I was good at almost all subjects. Also, the teachers and my classmates all thought I was a girl with many talents and interests. I was very proud until my enemy, Lucy appeared.
She always competed with me. She could do a little better than me in exams unless I worked really hard. What’s more, she could even beat me in chess and reading competitions. I was so upset and told my father about it.
My father had a long talk with me. He said, “My girl, this is life: full of chances and challenges. Chances and challenges are competitions. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.”
I was still not sure what competition really meant. But I knew I must do better than Lucy. Since then, I always tried my best no matter what I did. Two years ago, I became a student of California Institute of Technology.
Looking back on these days competing with Lucy, I’m thankful to her. Competitions can help us be better persons.
