2． Bartek Ostalowski lost both his arms in a terrible accident in 2006，but that wasn't enough to kill his dream of one day becoming a professional race-car driver.Finding himself armless at just 20 years old and faced with the difficult task of learning to drive a car on a race circuit（賽車道） must have been quite the shock for Bartek，but he gathered the courage and the drive to push on.In three years，he became a master of driving a race-car with his feet.Today，Bartek Ostalowsk is the world's only professional sport driver who drives using his feet.
In order to deal with his physical limitations，Bartek transformed（改裝） his race car according to his needs，adding a new engine，and stronger transmission（變速器）.The ambitious Polish driver uses his right foot to control the pedals，while moving on with his left one.The race car is controlled with the shoulder.
"After my accident，I was looking for a solution.I asked myself if I wanted to race again what would I need to do？" Bartek told the reporter of Business Insider."I heard about someone in Poland who，like me，had no arms，but he drove a car on a daily basis with no problem.After meeting him，my dream and passion for motor sports were alive and strong，and I made the decision to return to racing one day."
In 2019，Ostalowsk finished in ninth place out of 50 drivers in the Polish Drift Championship，one of the most competitive championship series in all of Europe，and the year before that，he won the international Czech Drift Series，beating dozens of other professional sports drivers.
"Of course，I encourage other people with disabilities to get involved in motor sports.It's a beautiful passion and I think a great form of recovery too.So make your dreams come true，" the Polish driver said.

3． Teacup dogs are becoming a popular fashion，but what many do not know is that teacup dogs are very often simply under-developed（發(fā)育不全的） dogs.They are produced in order to create the smallest dogs possible at any costs.
Sometimes，teacup dogs are the result of breeding（繁殖） two very small dogs of a certain breed （品種）.Giving birth to teacup dogs is extremely dangerous for the dogs and the mother.Because the mother is so small，she can only give birth to a few dogs and there are often birth diseases.
Even worse，because teacup dogs are in such high demand and can be sold for such exorbitant prices，some people like to develop teacup dogs by any means.Some even produce purposely undeveloped dogs，or control the dogs' growth through methods like hunger.
Because of teacup dogs' unnaturally mini size，they often face a lot of health issues.Their tiny bodies often are faced with so many stomach illnesses，resulting in the need to be fed small amounts，many times a day.Teacup dogs also often develop heart issues and health problems.They don't live nearly as long as standard dogs.Since teacup dogs face so many health issues，taking preventive measures is necessary，so you'll be visiting the animal doctor much more often and paying much more than you would with a regular dog.
And because teacup dogs are so tiny，it's not uncommon for them to be accidentally killed by owners.A small drop or fall can injure them.Teacup dogs don't know their tininess，so they will jump up on couches，and walk right underfoot with no warning.There are few experiences as sad as accidentally crushing（壓壞） a beloved pet.
While teacup dogs are becoming more popular，they are often treated as toys rather than living creatures.Teacup dogs often face short and painful lives，and their breeding should not be encouraged.
（1）Which word can replace the underlined word"exorbitant"in paragraph 3？
A.High.
B.Low.
C.Normal.
D.Reasonable.
（2）What is the main reason causing teacup dogs to live a short life？
A.They don't eat enough food.
B.They are unhealthy animals.
C.They are often killed by the owners.
D.They like to jump from the high places.
（3）How is the passage mainly developed？
A.By analyzing facts.
B.By clarifying concepts.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By quoting research findings.
（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A.We should protect teacup dogs.
B.Teacup dogs are naturally produced pets.
C.We should avoid purchasing a teacup dog.
D.We should try to let teacup dogs live longer.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.3

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
We were doing a house cleaning for the new year.Everything was going well.I cleaned the bottom of the so fa when I heard the scream（尖叫）.It was so loud that I guessed someone had broken into our home."A mouse!A mouse!" screamed my little sister.My younger cousin screamed just as loud，and pointed.
How could it be able to enter our house？I later learned from the Internet that mice enter homes through cracks and holes found in walls，floors and foundations.Due to their body shape，mice are able to fit through holes much smaller than appear likely.They may also enter the home through gaps in windows or ceilings，as well as through sewer（下水道） lines.Anyway，it seemed that we had a trouble.
My sister and cousin jumped up on the couch as the baby mouse ran to one side of our living room and then the other.Because of the screams，the mouse was frightened and at a loss.The little rodent（嚙齒動(dòng)物）had obviously found a home in our house."Get the mouse!"my little sister and younger cousin screamed.
It was so tiny and quick that I wasn't sure what to do.I tried catching its long gray tail，but it ran away and up a dining chair.I had an idea."Get a shoebox，" I said.But my little sister and younger cousin shook their heads at the same time.They had no intention of moving from the couch.I ran to our bedroom and came back with an empty box.Then I held a fly swatter（蒼蠅拍）.My plan was to stun（打昏） the little mouse and put it in the box.
I was about to hit it with the swatter when my little sister shouted out，"Don't kill it!It's a baby and a little cute."My younger cousin agreed with her，and I could tell by its frightened eyes that the little mouse did，too.The tiny mouse twitched（抽搐） its mouth.It seemed to be saying，"Listen to them.I don't want to be killed.This is my first new year!" As I saw the fear in the mouse's eyes，I gained some compassion（憐憫）.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
I slowly walked toward it with a small towel.

I asked my sister and cousin if they wanted to say goodbye.
