2．At only 9 years old，Lesia Cartelli was badly burnt in a gas explosion at her grandparents' house.The burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn't recognize her.Lesia could have remained withdrawn for her whole life.But now，this woman uses her painful past to help other burn victims find healing（治愈）. "My life got better when I started to look at my life as a gift，" Lesia said.
Lesia started Angel Faces，a national nonprofit organization offering week-long supportive retreats（休養(yǎng)所） for adolescent female burn victims.These retreats，for girls from 11-19 years of age，provide meetings to help the girls heal emotionally.
"She's like a ball of sunshine，" said Casi Smith，a 17-year-old with burns on her face she received as a baby. "Looking at her，I can see everything she's been through.But here she is；instead of hiding，she's helping people.To me，that is amazing.I don't know if I could ever do that."
As a woman burned in a gas explosion，Lesia is able to connect with these young ladies on a personal level，as someone who knows what they're going through.Her heart for helping others motivates fellow burn victims to take control of their circumstances.
All of these women are miracles.They are blessed to have survived horrible accidents most of us can't even imagine.Yet，surviving the incident is just the beginning.Lesia describes the period following the actual event causing the burns as a "trauma cocoon".And that's where she steps in. "I didn't want any other girl to go through what I had gone through，" she says. "We offer a place where the girls can suffer less pain and begin to really heal."

3．Around 50 Mars missions have been launched globally since 1960.Yet more than half of them have failed to reach the planet.So after China's Mars probe—Tianwen-1，was launched on July 23，Thursday last year，there was an anxious wait to learn its fate.
The news that the craft carrying exploration rover Zhurong landed safely on the surface of the planet on Saturday has therefore been met with both relief and celebration in the country.
That the landing was carried out exactly as planned has made China the latest member，after the United States and Russia，of the club of the world's pioneering Martin explorers，and shows the reliability of the relevant technologies that China has developed on its own.Though the first Mars mission of the country，it was a brave undertaking：to complete orbiting，landing and roving in one single mission.
It is that can-do spirit of self-reliance（自力更生） that has played a key role in China's scientific and technological development in recent decades despite some foreign countries' attempts to prevent its progress.China made its early breakthroughs in rocket and space technologies with its own scientists，engineers and scientific workers starting from the 1960s under very difficult conditions when the country remained largely a backward agricultural country and faced foreign blocks of technology and materials.
However，the country has made the most of what it had over the past more than six decades，making continuous efforts to go ahead in the aerospace（航天）cause.Thanks to the hard work and even sacrifices of generations of scientific workers，China has laid a solid foundation for the fast development of its aerospace industry，and has achieved one milestone after another in its space endeavors.
In the human space odyssey，China，with enthusiasm，diligence and willingness to cooperate，will help promote humankind to travel faster and farther.
（1）What's the purpose of this text？
A．To introduce a kind of astronomical phenomenon.
B．To recall the development of China's aerospace exploration.
C．To boost Chinese people's confidence in aerospace exploration.
D．To state the difficulties China faced in aerospace development.
（2）How does the author feel about the development of China's aerospace industry？
A．Confused.
B．Proud.
C．Worried.
D．Astonished.
（3）What can we learn from the text？
A．More than half of Mars missions have succeeded since 1960.
B．The exploration rover Zhurong landed on Mars on July，25th.
C．The mission of Tianwen-1 was to complete orbiting and landing.
D．China made a breakthrough in space technologies without efforts.
（4）From which is the text most probably taken？
A．A science fiction.

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
It was the summer when I turned 18.I was filled with excitement because of my new freedom of driving.I drove carefully with my new license.Along with this new privilege came new responsibilities.I would perform the same routine — call my parents and tell them where I was going，who I was with，and when I would be home.It became a typical cycle.
I had been working all day in the hot sun.I was exhausted and ready for a nap.But my stomach told me something different.So I called my friend Mike and made our way into town.After our meal，we had no idea that our day would soon change for the worse.
It takes one moment to shift your life upside down.I vividly remember I was driving fast.Too fast.I came to the conclusion two years later，that the mistake would be with me for the rest of my life.
Mike and I were driving down a dusty gravel（沙礫） road.I was driving a shiny black Saturn，which was the car I admired for long.I was very proud to be driving jye.ai.It was perfect in my eyes.I could see the rolling hills in the distance.Tall pine trees traveled on both sides of the road.With the music playing，we were enjoying ourselves.Somehow，without realizing it，I sped up the car.
Coasting（滑行） freely in my car，we came across a loose spot of gravel.My tyres were stuck in it and desperate to escape.My car started fishtailjye.aig.In panic，I pressed hard on the brakes（剎車） and instantly the car lost control.I got into panic，frozen with terror.Looking to the right，I took a glimpse of Mike.His body had leaned toward me.He was trying to prepare himself for the coming crash.The car was rushing left to right，coasting along the gravel like it was ice.Moments later，the front of my car crashed head-on into a tree.
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
I heard a loud sound of my car hitting the tree.____________.
Luckily enough，Mike and I were not so seriously hurt.____________.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.5
