2024年初中英语七年级最新时文阅读训练 专题03 社会一瞥 阅读理解 A The pet detective 宠物侦探 Liu Wei often works at night. He searches in parking lots. He hides himself in the longgrass. He carefully checks underground pipelines(管道). The 35-year-old man from Shanghai is a detective. He's not catching criminals, though. Instead, he's looking for people's missing pets. Since 2012, Liu has helped find more than 1,000 cats, dogs and even lizards(蜥蜴)for their owners. “There is a great sense of achievement when I finally find a missing pet after days of hard work,” he said. Before heading out, Liu usually asks his clients many questions about their lost pets. The information helps him decide where to start. He also knows how to make good use of modern equipment. For example, an infrared thermal imager(红外热像仪)can help locate a pet that may be hiding in a hole. According to Liu's experience, cats have a better chance of being discovered. They just hide in dark, small places instead of moving very far away. Dogs, however, are more likely to be brought home by people. This makes finding a missing dog more difficult. The pet detective business has been growing fast in recent years as more people keep pets at home. Hiring a pet detective is not cheap. It can cost more than 10,000 yuan, but it's worth it for pet owners. “They're not animals,” Liu said. “They're members of the family.” 1. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. Liu Wei's job. B.
