Owning a lovable, cuddly pet can unquestionably make one’s home life better and apparently, it can affect pet owners’ professional lives as well. In fact, according to a new survey, people who have owned pets may be more professionally successful, and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents.
The survey was conducted by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospital, according to Fast Company. The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers, as explained in the survey summary on Banfield’s website.
Among the C-suite executives (CEOs, etc.) surveyed, 93 percent grew with a pet in their home, with 78 percent claiming that growing up with a pet helped cause their career success as an adult.
Interestingly, 83 percent of C-suite executives who participated said they grew up with a dog, 59 percent of them said they grew up with a cat, and 37 percent of them said they grew up with another kind of pet.
So, how exactly does pet ownership cause career success? Well, according to Banfield’s research, executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility, creativity, empathy, discipline, and organization, which have all been invaluable in the business world.
At Banfield Pet Hospital, we’ve long recognized the special bond between people and their pets, as well as the positive impact pets have on our society, Brian Garish, president of Banfield Pet Hospital, said in a statement on Banfield’s website.
From the pet ownership lessons we learned as children, to the ways our four-legged friends currently help us evolve, connect with others, and stay grounded, our latest research supports the notion we’ve had all along that there may be a link between pets and their ability to help shape us as people.
But what about people who grew up pet-less, but have adopted pets as adults? Luckily for those, the survey showed that current pet ownership can also help with professional success.
According to the research, 86 percent of current pet parents surveyed said owning pets helps them stick to a routine, better manage their time, and more efficiently multitask. But even if you don’t think your pet has directly helped you, your coworkers’ knowledge that you have a pet may actually be beneficial for your career.
In fact, 80 percent of people surveyed said they feel more connected to colleagues who are pet owners, and 79 percent of those surveyed believe that fellow co-workers who have pets are hard workers.
4. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By making comparison. B. By explaining statistical data.
C. By stating arguments. D. By giving explanations.
5. The figures in Paragraph 3 show that ________.
A. pets become commercialized among C-suite executives
B. more and more CEOs become aware of pets’ effects
C. owning pets can make for professional success
D. there is a rising demand for pets
6. What can we know about the people who are surveyed?
A. They can be healthier by keeping a pet.
B. Keeping pets provides the most valuable lessons for them.
C. They can hardly get fun from keeping pets.
D. Those who own a pet tend to get along well with colleagues.
7. What is the author’s attitude toward keeping a pet?
A. Concerned. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Uncaring.

After nearly a decade of trying, Apple finally gave up its effort to produce an electric car last year, canceling a project that soaked up $10 billion. But last year in China, the electronics maker Xiaomi launched its first electric car after just three years of development and delivered 135,000 vehicles. It has vowed to double that number in 2025.
Xiaomi’s ability to succeed where Apple could not shows how thoroughly China has come to dominate the supply chain for electric vehicles. Chinese companies have mastered electric vehicle manufacturing. By tapping that infrastructure, Xiaomi was able to get components quickly and cheaply. And Xiaomi is not the only Chinese consumer electronics company that has branched out to electric vehicles. The telecommunications giant Huawei, which the U. S. government has targeted with sanctions and legal action for years, is making autonomous driving software. Huawei has teamed up with multiple Chinese automakers, including Seres Group and the state-owned firms SAIC Motor, BAIC and Chery.
Xiaomi’s first electric car was brought out last March: the SU7,a four-door sedan with artificial intelligence features that can help with parking, play movies for passengers and program Xiaomi home appliances from the road. Mr. Lei said it looks like a Porsche. But at $ 30,000, it’s a quarter of the price. While the SU7 earned Xiaomi just a small fraction of the sales of China’s top electric vehicle makers, it puts Xiaomi among the Chinese companies that are dealing a major blow to foreign automakers’ long command over China’s market for premium cars. In the year since the SU7 went on sale, Porsche deliveries in China were down nearly 30 percent.
Chinese electric vehicle companies have benefited from billions of dollars in government support, which has helped them gain control of the supply chain down to the very minerals inside the car batteries. This early edge helped two Chinese companies, BYD and Contemporary Amperex Technology Company.
Xiaomi used this supply chain to its advantage. Its cars contain batteries from BYD and CATL. It was able to quickly start production by taking over a factory from Beijing Auto Group. Construction workers in Beijing are working around the clock on a second factory. All this manufacturing capacity helps Chinese electric vehicle firms move from development to production in far less time than traditional automakers in China, enabling them to bring new models to market quickly and focus on making software that they can continually update, said Stephen W. Dyer, head of Asia Automotive at AlixPartners.
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By listing examples. B. By stating opinions.
C. By making a contrast. D. By giving definitions.
9. Why does the author mention Apple’s failure?
A. To show Apple’s poor management. B. To prove electric car production is difficult.
C. To highlight China’s EV development. D. To compare it with Huawei’s situation.
10. What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A. SU7’s price advantage. B. SU7’s features and influence.
C. Porsche’s decline in China. D. Xiaomi’s EV production plan.
11. How did Xiaomi start its electric car production quickly?
A. By developing new technology. B. By building its own factory.
C By getting government support. D. By getting hold of a factory.
D
Qin Xiaoya, a virtual figure playing a young female role in Qinqiang Opera, has caught people’s attention since it made its debut in an art festival in Xi’an, capital of Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.
The design team employed 3D modeling to replicate the original clothes and accessories of the virtual actress. “To make her true to life, we went to great effort to reproduce her gestures and decorations with the real voice of the opera performer,” said Zhang Xi, a team member.
Qinqiang Opera, a Chinese folk opera originating in the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC-771 BC), continues to thrive in a vast region of Northwest China and was added to the country’s intangible cultural heritage list in 2006.
As a newcomer to this ancient art, Qin Xiaoya demonstrates a youthful image. In an introductory music video for the Ninth China Qinqiang Opera Arts Festival held in June, she performed Qinqiang Opera remixed with rock’n’roll, fueling the interest of young people.
Creating such a figure is not easy task. “The expression of Qinqiang Opera in this character must be accurate and vivid, which requires high standard when it comes to original painting desisgn, model making, character animation, just to name a few,” Zhang said.
“We hope to make her a spokesperson for Qinqiang Opera art and make related cartoons, movies and other diversified products in the future,” said Zhang, adding that they are developing more functions for the virtual figure, who is expected to interact with citizens via livestreaming.
The technology that is injected into the opera can also be found among cinematic techniques.Tapping her fingers to the rhythm of the music and singing along with actors, Xiao Jie, a 59-year-old opera fan, enjoys a 3D Qinqiang Opera film Three Drops of Blood. Regarded as a masterpiece in Qinqiang Opera, Three Drops of Blood, created in 1918 and deeply critical of pedantic and muddle-headed bureaucrats in feudal society, has been often frequented by fans over the past century.
“I watched a black-and-white film of the opera when I was young. At this time, watching it in a 3D form is truly intriguing. The audience can have a closer and clearer look at the performance,” recounted Xiao.
Chinese operas have long historical ties to movies. The first movie in China, The Battle of Dingjunshan, screened in 1905, was adapted from clips from Peking Opera. “Advanced cinematic techniques breathe new life into the time-honored opera, which is a typical epitome of the innovative development of traditional art,” said Cui Wei, secretary general of the China Theater Association.
12. The author mentions Qin Xiaoya at the beginning of the passage to introduce ________ .
A. a new real performer of Qinqiang Opera
B. the application of technology in the art of Qinqiang Opera
C. the origin of Qinqiang Opera
D. the relationship between Qinqiang Opera and movies
13. What does the underlined word “diversified” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. multifaceted B. appealing C. elegant D. tasteless
14. What is Xiao Jie’s attitude towards 3D form?
A. Ambiguous B. Doubtful C. Hopeful D. Tolerant
15 What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To discuss the historical evolution of Qinqiang Opera in Northwest China.
B. To showcase how technology promotes innovative development of traditional opera.
C. To compare traditional stage performances with modern 3D cinematic techniques.
D. To criticize feudal bureaucrats through the analysis of Three Drops of Blood.

●Be in charge of your attitude.

37. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Sam was two years and two months old, he began to shut the world away. The once-happy little boy, who was already starting to pick up words of both English and Spanish, suddenly stopped speaking; stopped looking his family in the eye; stopped communicating altogether. Most of the time, all Sam did was lie on the sofa touching his ears.
He started to display certain behavioral changes. He began to have this funny thing with straight lines where he would pick up a toy and look at it sideways, or lie on his front for hours on end, rolling a car in front of his eyes.
Within two years, his mother Jo visited one expert after another with Sam and tried various treatment methods; however, nothing seemed to work. What was worse, in about three weeks Sam’s grandfather died of cancer, his parents divorced and his family were robbed — and all the while, Sam was becoming more and more withdrawn. His eyes were dead.
And it was then that Sam was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with autism (自闭症).
As a single mother, Jo had no choice but to go straight to work herself to earn a living while researching the condition and try her best to help Sam to come back out of himself. For Jo, the following eight years was a terrifying time, watching her son disappearing just in front of her eyes. All methods tried, money running out, Jo had no choice but to take Sam, by now completely non-verbal (不使用言语交际的), from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of the city to the calm of the Devon countryside.
Once on a local farm, they came across Chester, a mini pig belonging to a farmer. It was so small that they didn’t even see it at first sight. As they walked down the grassland, the only little pig was hiding in the corner. He looked sad and lonely, like Sam often did.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Sam saw Chester, he went over to the little pig immediately.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The farmer agreed and Jo took Chester home.

Owning a lovable, cuddly pet can unquestionably make one’s home life better and apparently, it can affect pet owners’ professional lives as well. In fact, according to a new survey, people who have owned pets may be more professionally successful, and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents.
The survey was conducted by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospital, according to Fast Company. The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers, as explained in the survey summary on Banfield’s website.
Among the C-suite executives (CEOs, etc.) surveyed, 93 percent grew with a pet in their home, with 78 percent claiming that growing up with a pet helped cause their career success as an adult.
Interestingly, 83 percent of C-suite executives who participated said they grew up with a dog, 59 percent of them said they grew up with a cat, and 37 percent of them said they grew up with another kind of pet.
So, how exactly does pet ownership cause career success? Well, according to Banfield’s research, executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility, creativity, empathy, discipline, and organization, which have all been invaluable in the business world.
At Banfield Pet Hospital, we’ve long recognized the special bond between people and their pets, as well as the positive impact pets have on our society, Brian Garish, president of Banfield Pet Hospital, said in a statement on Banfield’s website.
From the pet ownership lessons we learned as children, to the ways our four-legged friends currently help us evolve, connect with others, and stay grounded, our latest research supports the notion we’ve had all along that there may be a link between pets and their ability to help shape us as people.
But what about people who grew up pet-less, but have adopted pets as adults? Luckily for those, the survey showed that current pet ownership can also help with professional success.
According to the research, 86 percent of current pet parents surveyed said owning pets helps them stick to a routine, better manage their time, and more efficiently multitask. But even if you don’t think your pet has directly helped you, your coworkers’ knowledge that you have a pet may actually be beneficial for your career.
In fact, 80 percent of people surveyed said they feel more connected to colleagues who are pet owners, and 79 percent of those surveyed believe that fellow co-workers who have pets are hard workers.

After nearly a decade of trying, Apple finally gave up its effort to produce an electric car last year, canceling a project that soaked up $10 billion. But last year in China, the electronics maker Xiaomi launched its first electric car after just three years of development and delivered 135,000 vehicles. It has vowed to double that number in 2025.
Xiaomi’s ability to succeed where Apple could not shows how thoroughly China has come to dominate the supply chain for electric vehicles. Chinese companies have mastered electric vehicle manufacturing. By tapping that infrastructure, Xiaomi was able to get components quickly and cheaply. And Xiaomi is not the only Chinese consumer electronics company that has branched out to electric vehicles. The telecommunications giant Huawei, which the U. S. government has targeted with sanctions and legal action for years, is making autonomous driving software. Huawei has teamed up with multiple Chinese automakers, including Seres Group and the state-owned firms SAIC Motor, BAIC and Chery.
Xiaomi’s first electric car was brought out last March: the SU7,a four-door sedan with artificial intelligence features that can help with parking, play movies for passengers and program Xiaomi home appliances from the road. Mr. Lei said it looks like a Porsche. But at $ 30,000, it’s a quarter of the price. While the SU7 earned Xiaomi just a small fraction of the sales of China’s top electric vehicle makers, it puts Xiaomi among the Chinese companies that are dealing a major blow to foreign automakers’ long command over China’s market for premium cars. In the year since the SU7 went on sale, Porsche deliveries in China were down nearly 30 percent.
Chinese electric vehicle companies have benefited from billions of dollars in government support, which has helped them gain control of the supply chain down to the very minerals inside the car batteries. This early edge helped two Chinese companies, BYD and Contemporary Amperex Technology Company.
Xiaomi used this supply chain to its advantage. Its cars contain batteries from BYD and CATL. It was able to quickly start production by taking over a factory from Beijing Auto Group. Construction workers in Beijing are working around the clock on a second factory. All this manufacturing capacity helps Chinese electric vehicle firms move from development to production in far less time than traditional automakers in China, enabling them to bring new models to market quickly and focus on making software that they can continually update, said Stephen W. Dyer, head of Asia Automotive at AlixPartners.
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By listing examples. B. By stating opinions.

9. Why does the author mention Apple’s failure?

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After nearly a decade of trying, Apple finally gave up its effort to produce an electric car last year, canceling a project that soaked up $10 billion. But last year in China, the electronics maker Xiaomi launched its first electric car after just three years of development and delivered 135,000 vehicles. (经过近十年的努力,苹果终于在去年放弃了生产电动汽车的努力,取消了一个耗资100亿美元的项目。但去年在中国,电子产品制造商小米推出了其首款电动汽车,经过短短三年的研发,交付了13.5万辆。)”可知,首段将苹果“十年造车失败”与小米“三年成功推出电动汽车”进行对比,通过对比引出“中国电动汽车供应链主导地位”的主题。故选C。

Qin Xiaoya, a virtual figure playing a young female role in Qinqiang Opera, has caught people’s attention since it made its debut in an art festival in Xi’an, capital of Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.
The design team employed 3D modeling to replicate the original clothes and accessories of the virtual actress. “To make her true to life, we went to great effort to reproduce her gestures and decorations with the real voice of the opera performer,” said Zhang Xi, a team member.
Qinqiang Opera, a Chinese folk opera originating in the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 BC-771 BC), continues to thrive in a vast region of Northwest China and was added to the country’s intangible cultural heritage list in 2006.
As a newcomer to this ancient art, Qin Xiaoya demonstrates a youthful image. In an introductory music video for the Ninth China Qinqiang Opera Arts Festival held in June, she performed Qinqiang Opera remixed with rock’n’roll, fueling the interest of young people.
Creating such a figure is not easy task. “The expression of Qinqiang Opera in this character must be accurate and vivid, which requires high standard when it comes to original painting desisgn, model making, character animation, just to name a few,” Zhang said.
“We hope to make her a spokesperson for Qinqiang Opera art and make related cartoons, movies and other diversified products in the future,” said Zhang, adding that they are developing more functions for the virtual figure, who is expected to interact with citizens via livestreaming.
The technology that is injected into the opera can also be found among cinematic techniques.Tapping her fingers to the rhythm of the music and singing along with actors, Xiao Jie, a 59-year-old opera fan, enjoys a 3D Qinqiang Opera film Three Drops of Blood. Regarded as a masterpiece in Qinqiang Opera, Three Drops of Blood, created in 1918 and deeply critical of pedantic and muddle-headed bureaucrats in feudal society, has been often frequented by fans over the past century.
“I watched a black-and-white film of the opera when I was young. At this time, watching it in a 3D form is truly intriguing. The audience can have a closer and clearer look at the performance,” recounted Xiao.
Chinese operas have long historical ties to movies. The first movie in China, The Battle of Dingjunshan, screened in 1905, was adapted from clips from Peking Opera. “Advanced cinematic techniques breathe new life into the time-honored opera, which is a typical epitome of the innovative development of traditional art,” said Cui Wei, secretary general of the China Theater Association.
12. The author mentions Qin Xiaoya at the beginning of the passage to introduce ________ .
A. a new real performer of Qinqiang Opera
B. the application of technology in the art of Qinqiang Opera
C. the origin of Qinqiang Opera
D. the relationship between Qinqiang Opera and movies
13. What does the underlined word “diversified” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. multifaceted B. appealing C. elegant D. tasteless
14. What is Xiao Jie’s attitude towards 3D form?
A. Ambiguous B. Doubtful C. Hopeful D. Tolerant
15. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To discuss the historical evolution of Qinqiang Opera in Northwest China.
B. To showcase how technology promotes innovative development of traditional opera.
C. To compare traditional stage performances with modern 3D cinematic techniques.
D. To criticize feudal bureaucrats through the analysis of Three Drops of Blood.

37. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Sam was two years and two months old, he began to shut the world away. The once-happy little boy, who was already starting to pick up words of both English and Spanish, suddenly stopped speaking; stopped looking his family in the eye; stopped communicating altogether. Most of the time, all Sam did was lie on the sofa touching his ears.
He started to display certain behavioral changes. He began to have this funny thing with straight lines where he would pick up a toy and look at it sideways, or lie on his front for hours on end, rolling a car in front of his eyes.
Within two years his mother Jo visited one expert after another with Sam and tried various treatment methods; however, nothing seemed to work. What was worse, in about three weeks Sam’s grandfather died of cancer, his parents divorced and his family were robbed — and all the while, Sam was becoming more and more withdrawn. His eyes were dead.
And it was then that Sam was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with autism (自闭症).
As a single mother, Jo had no choice but to go straight to work herself to earn a living while researching the condition and try her best to help Sam to come back out of himself. For Jo, the following eight years was a terrifying time, watching her son disappearing just in front of her eyes. All methods tried, money running out, Jo had no choice but to take Sam, by now completely non-verbal (不使用言语交际的), from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of the city to the calm of the Devon countryside.
Once on a local farm, they came across Chester, a mini pig belonging to a farmer. It was so small that they didn’t even see it at first sight. As they walked down the grassland, the only little pig was hiding in the corner. He looked sad and lonely, like Sam often did.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Sam saw Chester, he went over to the little pig immediately.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The farmer agreed and Jo took Chester home.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
When Sam saw Chester, he went over to the little pig immediately. Sam, who had been so isolated, reached out and gently touched the pig. Chester got closer to Sam in response, as if acknowledging a new friend. For the first time in years, Sam’s eyes lit up with a spark of curiosity and warmth. Jo watched in amazement and decided there and then to buy it. She approached the farmer and asked if they could buy the pig, hoping Chester might breathe vitality into Sam’s life.
The farmer agreed and Jo took Chester home. Since then, Sam and Chester were like peas and carrots. Chester’s presence became a comfort to Sam’s lonely soul. He would often sit beside Chester, stroking its back. Jo noticed a gradual change in Sam — he began having more interactions with Chester and her. Apparently, the unique bond between Sam and Chester had a good effect on Sam’s other relationships, offering Jo hope that her son might slowly find his way back to the world.
【解析】
