Many people are enthusiastic about keeping pets because they can bring a great deal of benefits. Petting cats and dogs can make us feel relaxed and happy. Taking care of them can cultivate a sense of responsibility, and it can even contribute to improving our relationships with others. However, from the animals' perspective, things might be different. Although pets generally have a longer lifespan compared to wild animals, it doesn't necessarily mean that their quality of life is higher. Feeding them processed food and their lack of exercise may lead to obesity, and they often suffer from loneliness. What's worse, some precious breeds of pets may have genetic diseases due to artificial breeding and inbreeding. In April 2025, a dachshund named Valerie was discovered in the Australian bush. It had been living alone there for 18 months. In the wild, it learned to avoid natural enemies and find food, and its muscles became stronger. This has made people start to think: Can pets live a better life without humans? In the United States, 25 species of parrots that were originally introduced as pets have formed self - sustaining populations in 23 states. Similarly, many released animals have established new colonies in the wild. Nevertheless, experts caution that releasing pets casually may disrupt the local ecological balance. Instead of debating whether pets should return to nature, we should reflect on the problems of our existing pet - keeping methods. For example, can we use robotic pets to replace real animals? Currently, some social robots can imitate the interactive behaviors of pets and provide emotional support without the need for actual pet - keeping. 【全文翻译】 原文标题：离开主人，宠物更幸福？（改编自新加坡《海峡时报》2025 年 7 月 1 日文章） 许多人喜欢养宠物，因为它们能带来快乐和陪伴。抚摸猫狗可以放松身心，照顾它们还能培养责任感。然而，从动物的角度看，情况可能不同。虽然宠物比野生动物寿命更长，但它们的生活质量未必更高。人工喂养的加工食品和缺乏运动可能导致肥胖，孤独感也常常伴随它们。更严重的是，一些名贵品种因人工繁殖和近亲生育而患有遗传疾病。 2025 年 4 月，一只名为瓦莱丽的腊肠犬在澳大利亚丛林中独自生活 18 个月后被发现。它在野外学会了躲避天敌、寻找食物，肌肉变得更结实。这引发了人们的思考：宠物离开人类是否能过得更好？在美国，25 种原本作为宠物引入的鹦鹉已在 23 个州形成独立生存的群体。类似地，许多被放生的动物在野外建立了新种群。 不过，专家强调，随意放生宠物可能破坏当地生态平衡。与其争论宠物是否该回归自然，不如反思现有饲养方式的问题。例如，是否可以用机器人宠物替代真实动物？目前，一些社交机器人已能模拟宠物的互动行为，提供情感支持而无需实际饲养。 【长难句分析】 原句：Although pets live longer than wild animals, this does not mean their quality of life is higher. 翻译：尽管宠物比野生动物更长寿，但这不代表它们生活质量更高。 分析：本句使用 "Although" 引导让步状语从句，强调 "长寿" 与 "生活质量" 的对比。学生需注意 "quality of life"（生活质量）的固定搭配。 原句：Feeding processed food and lack of exercise can cause pets to become obese, and loneliness often follows. 翻译：被投喂加工食品、缺乏运动会导致宠物肥胖，孤独感常伴其左右。 分析：句子由两个并列分句构成，前半句用动名词短语作主语，后半句用 "and" 连接结果。重点词汇 "processed food"（加工食品）和 "obese"（肥胖的）需掌握。 原句：I do not advocate releasing pets into the wild to avoid threatening local species. 翻译：我并非提倡将宠物放归野外，以免威胁当地物种。 分析：使用 "to avoid doing" 结构表目的，"advocate"（提倡）后接动名词。学生需注意 "releasing"（放生）和 "threatening"（威胁）的动词用法。 【重难词汇梳理】 词汇 汉语翻译 词性 发音 companion 陪伴（名词） n. /kəmˈpænjən/ responsibility 责任 n. /rɪˌspɒnsəˈbɪləti/ obese 肥胖的 adj. /əʊˈbiːs/ genetic 遗传的 adj. /dʒəˈnetɪk/ survive 生存 v. /səˈvaɪv/ ecological 生态的 adj. /ˌiːkəˈlɒdʒɪkl/ balance 平衡 n. /ˈbæləns/ simulate 模拟 v. /ˈsɪmjuleɪt/ emotional 情感的 adj. /ɪˈməʊʃənl/ alternative 替代方案 n. /ɔːlˈtɜːnətɪv/ release 释放 / 放生 v. /rɪˈliːs/ threaten 威胁 v. /ˈθretn/ debate 争论 v. /dɪˈbeɪt/ reflect 反思 v. /rɪˈflekt/ artificial 人工的 adj. /ˌɑːtɪˈfɪʃl/ 实战演练 一、阅读理解 In our busy lives, it’s sometimes hard to take care of our pets properly. Whether we’re at work or on vacation, it can be difficult to make sure they’re looked after. To solve the problem, a new pet caring technology comes in. The pet caring technology helps us take care of our pets even when we’re not around. It has many advantages. One of the advantages of the pet caring technology is that feeding pets without people’s help. We can set the device (设备) to give our pets food and water at certain times, so they’re never hungry or overfed, or thirsty. Another good thing about the pet caring technology is that it lets us monitor (监控) our pets’ activity levels. The device has a camera and sensors (传感器) that can tell us if there’s any unusual activity or if our pets are feeling sad or upset. The pet caring technology also keeps our pets safe. For example some devices have alarms (警报器) that will sound if there’s a break-in or a fire. This way, we know our pets are protected, even when we’re far away. And the best thing about the pet caring technology is that it’s very convenient. With just a few touches on our phone, we can see what our pets are doing, when they’re eating, and how they’ re feeling. This makes it easy for us to take good care of them, even when we’re not at home. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 1? A．What our daily lives are like.

A new study suggests that by sharing “people food”, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy. Many dogs are fed dry processed food. Science has shown that a diet (饮食) of processed food is not healthy for humans. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is not good for our pet dogs, either. The scientists discovered that the foods a dog might find in an owner’s home such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is because having different kinds of foods leads to more variety (多样性) in microbes, which are little living things, too small to be seen with our eyes. There are millions of them in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest (消化) food. A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what foods they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs reached adulthood, their owners reported that about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (慢性肠胃不适症状) such as weight loss. However, if dogs had been fed a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life. Dr. Anna Hielm-Bjorkman told The Times of London, “Dog food on sale is described as providing a complete diet... But what we show is that variety is important. Nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child—why should a dog be different?” 1．What does the underlined part “this diet” in the passage refer to? A．dry processed dog food B．mixed food C．eggs, fish, meat and vegetables D．varied foods 2．According to the new study, dog owners ________. A．must offer dry food to their dogs B．can feed dogs on “people food” C．had better buy more processed food D．shouldn’t make food by themselves 3．Paragraph 3 mainly explains why ________. A．dogs need different kinds of foods B．little living things stay in human bodies C．scientists study dry processed food D．people should keep dogs at home 4．How does the writer describe the study in Paragraph 4 to make it believable? A．By using pictures. B．By giving examples. C．By telling stories. D．By listing numbers. 5．Which part of a magazine is the passage probably taken from? A．History. B．Business. C．Science. D．Culture. 二、完形填空 Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文). The Labrador (拉布拉多猎犬) has won the honor of the most popular breed (品种) for the past eighteen years. It has been described as gentle, clever and friendly. However, not all Labs are the same. John Grogan discovered this after he and his wife adopted a Labrador that they named Marley. The dog caused Mr. Grogan a lot of trouble, but it also provided a lot of 1 for his newspaper articles. Later, he wrote a best-selling book, “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s 2 Dog.” Marley was happy and fun-loving. But he was also extremely large and difficult to control. He bit anything that he could find around the house, including plastic, clothing and jewelry. And he had a great fear of loud noises, especially thunderstorms. 3 , the Grogans lived in Florida where many thunderstorms develop. Marley would attack the furniture, walls and doors until his feet bled if he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm. Marley almost 4 their home several times. John Grogan said that at first, he considered that probably his dog could be trained to be a show champion. But he soon realized that was impossible. Marley didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs, and the dog training school 5 him for causing troubles for other dogs. He didn’t want to hide his emotions. He would show his anger and tiredness if he felt them. 6 that, Marley still had earned a place in the Grogans’. He didn’t know how to dance, and he didn’t know how to walk on its two legs, but he was what he was. He would never be a Lassie or a Benji or an old Yeller for he would never like to take part in a dog show, but the Grogans accepted him and loved him very much. 1．A．services B．answers C．knowledge D．stories 2．A．Cleverest B．Worst C．Bravest D．Ugliest 3．A．Importantly B．Surprisingly C．Unfortunately D．Thankfully 4．A．damaged B．sold C．eaten D．built 5．A．relied on B．cared for C．got rid of D．apologized to 6．A．Except for B．Even if C．In addition to D．Because of 三、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 From April 8, 2025, pet owners can bring their cats or dogs on high-speed trains along the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. However, pets will travel in a special area designed for them. Why This Service Matters Many people in China want to travel with their pets. In 2022, new rules stopped passengers from bringing animals on trains, except on some slow trains. In 2024, a survey showed people’s strong interest in pet-friendly travel, and it led to this new service. Cost of the Service Prices depend on travel distance (距离). For example, a trip under 1,000 km normally costs 558 yuan, but during the trial (试行) period, it is 360 yuan. A trip between 1,000—1,500 km normally costs 658 yuan, but during the trial period, it is 460 yuan. How to Use the Service Passengers must book tickets at least two days early through the 12306 website or app. Pets must be healthy, weigh no more than 15 kg, and be under 40 cm tall. Owners also need to show their ID and their pets’ health papers. During the Journey Train workers will check on the pets every two hours and provide water, but owners cannot visit or feed their pets. Public Opinions Some pet owners are happy. A person from Shenzhen said, “I hope more trains will allow pets so I can take my cat to visit family in Nanjing.” Others worry that pets feel stressed in the special area. This service is a big step toward making travel easier for pet owners, but improvements may still be needed in the future. 1．What did the survey in 2024 show? 2．How much will people pay for a pet on an 800-km trip during the trial period? 3．What are the requirements for pets to use the service? (写出两个答案即可) 4．How often will the train workers check on the pets during the journey? 5．What do you think of the service?

Whether we’re at work or on vacation, it can be difficult to make sure they’re looked after. To solve the problem, a new pet caring technology comes in.”可知，第一段主要讲述了在忙碌生活中照顾宠物存在困难，为了解决这个问题出现了宠物护理技术，也就是为什么会有宠物护理技术，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“We can set the device (设备) to give our pets food and water at certain times”可知，我们可以将设备设置为在特定时间给宠物喂食和喂水，①正确；根据 “The device has a camera and sensors (传感器) that can tell us if there’s any unusual activity or if our pets are feeling sad or upset.”可知，该设备配有摄像头和传感器，能够告知我们是否有任何异常活动，或者我们的宠物是否感到悲伤或不安，③正确；根据 “The pet caring technology also keeps our pets safe.”可知，宠物护理技术还能保障我们宠物的安全，⑤正确。所以我们能做的事情是①③⑤，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“For example some devices have alarms (警报器) that will sound if there’s a break-in or a fire.”可知，在第五段作者通过举例子“一些设备在有闯入或火灾时会发出警报”来解释宠物护理技术能保证宠物安全这一观点，故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据“With just a few touches on our phone, we can see what our pets are doing, when they’re eating, and how they’ re feeling.”可知，通过手机简单操作就能了解宠物情况，这说明宠物护理技术很“便利”，所以 “convenient” 意思是“便利的”，故选C。 5．推理判断题。文章主要介绍了一种新的宠物护理技术，包括其优点等，所以最有可能在杂志的“科学与技术”板块找到，故选D。 Do you get in trouble for feeding your dog on food from dinner under the table?
