However, two Australian researchers worry that pet dogs are making changes on the environment. From past studies, the researchers found that medicine on dogs’ fur (皮毛) can wash off into water when they swim. The medicine can be harmful to local wildlife, and birds may even use pieces of the harmful fur to make their nests (鸟巢). Dogs can also pass on illnesses to local wildlife. In Australia, some penguins and special kinds of baby birds have died because of it. Dogs often run through birds’ seaside nesting areas. When this happens, the birds have to keep flying away. All that flying causes exhaustion. And these birds probably have already used up a lot of energy (能量) just to reach the beach. As a result, a smaller number of birds are living in the area and there are fewer kinds of birds too. But the researchers also say the problem isn’t really with dogs—it’s with how many of them we have and how little their owners care about the environment. According to the researchers, there are between 700 million and 1 billion pet dogs in the world. Since we will not stop having dogs as pets, we need to find better ways to love our pet dogs as well as to protect the world we share with them. 26. How does medicine on dogs’ fur go into water? A. When dogs jump into rivers. B. When dogs walk to the beach. C. When dogs play with seabirds. D. When dogs make nests by the river. 27. What causes the death of some penguins in Australia? A. Dogs bite and kill them. B. Dogs take their home away. C. Dogs catch and eat them. D. Dogs make them weak and sick. 28. What does the underlined word “exhaustion” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Tiredness. B. Carelessness. C. Excitement. D. Enjoyment. 29. What’s the structure of the passage? A. ①②‖③④‖⑤⑥ B. ①‖②③④‖⑤‖⑥ C. ①②③④‖⑤‖⑥ D. ①②③‖④‖⑤⑥ 30. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To ask people to give up keeping pet dogs. B To tell people to walk pet dogs at sea sides. C. To show the number of pet dogs all over the world. D. To discuss environmental problems caused by pet dogs. 第二节 配对阅读。 阅读下面短文，从短文所给的六个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。 When I first visited Hong Kong, I learned that some rules and customs are not the same as in mainland China.

It sold two space tickets for 1 million yuan each during a live stream (直播). It will be a very short but exciting journey. The travellers will take a 12-minute space trip in 2027. The rocket (火箭) will fly them 100-150 kilometers high. That’s much higher than airplanes fly. During the trip, they’ll feel weightless for five minutes but see the beautiful blue Earth from space. Before flying, the travellers must pass a health check. Space travel may sound like something from a science movie, but it’s already happening in some countries. In 2021, two companies in the US sent travellers to space. DS isn’t the only Chinese company with big dreams. Another Chinese company, CAIS, plans its first manned flight in 2028, with tickets costing 2-3 million yuan. Their trip might be a bit longer. To cut down the ticket prices, many companies are making reusable rockets. These rockets land safely after flying. Then they can fly to space again. This saves a lot of money. Would you like to float in space and see our blue planet? Keep dreaming—someday it could be your turn! 36. What did DS sell during a live stream? ________________________________________________ 37.
