D.You should never try new things without training Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)have made a new "bubbl wrap"that can coflect elean drinking water from the air-even in Death Valley,the driest desert i North America. This invention could help many people around the world get safe drinking water,especially in places where water is hard to find.The team shared their results in a study on June 11,2025. The device uses a water--absorbing material called hydrogel(水疑胶)，placed between two layers of glass,much like a window.At night,it takes water vapor from the air.During the day. the water vapor turns into liquid on the cool glass and then flows into small tubes. The hydrogel has many small domes,like bubble wrap.These domes grow bigger when they take in water from the air.They increase the surface area,helping the material collect more water. Scientists tested the device for one week in Death Valley.Each panel made about 57 t 161milliliters of water daily-about a quartef to two-thirds of a cup.In wetter areas,it coul make even more.The device also works without electricity. Older designs had a problem:lithium()salt,used to help take in water,sometimes leaked (泄漏)into the water and made it dangerous to drink.But this new design uses glycerol(甘油 which keeps the salt from leaking.This way,the lithium salt level stays far below safety limits. Eight panels(each about 1 metre by 2 metres)could provide enough water for a family.The system is not too expensive and can last at least a year. "We imagine these panels could be used in many places,"said MIT researcher Xuanhe Zha "They don't take up much space,and people can build more of them to make a real difference. 37 Why was the bubole wrap invented A.To store water in dry deserts B.To cool houses in hot areas. C.To collect drinking water from the air. D.To make dry places wetter. ()38.wnere did scientists test the new water-collecting device? A.In a wet forest in North America. B.In Death Valley C.In AfIT's laboratory D.In a city with serious water problems )39.How does the new design make the collected water safer to drink than older ones? A.It uses no lithium salt at all B.It works without electricity C.It can clean the water automatically D.It uses glyeerol to stop lithium salt from leaking ( )40.What ean we infer from the passage? A.Making the collected water safe was a big step. B.This is the first time scientists faye tried to get water from air. C.Working with less power is the device's most important feature D.People need to build a special room to the device. 第二节阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项 一项为多余选项。 To make our life better,we often have things that we want to change-our eating hal 九年级英语试题第5页，共8页 our health conditions,our grades,etc.Here are some ways that can help you change. ◆41 Understand why you want to change and what you want to do.Make the aim clear enough. “T'll get 10 more points in English.”is better than“I want to do better in my schoolwork.” Imagine the exciting moment when you achieve your aim. ◆Make a plan Trying to change many things all at once can be tiring and hard.Make a plan weekly or monthly.42 If you're trying to eat healthier food,start with adding some vegetables to your meal every day. ◆Keep positive Change often comes with challenges and difficulties,so keeping a positive mindset is important. 43 Learn from them instead of giving up.Adjust your plan if necessary.
