The rise of artificial intelligence in the home and our daily lives delivers convenience, efficiency and connection. Smart locks that open a door with a voice command, phones that track our steps and sleep — technology now lives in our pockets through powerful apps. Yet these same technologies, when misused, are rapidly becoming tools of coercive (强制性的) control in abusive relationships.
Digital abuse is no longer limited to ___41___ messages or stolen passwords. An offender may lock someone out of their home using a smart-lock app, turn off lights or heat a room ___42___, control smart speakers in the home to intimidate or harass (骚扰).
Victims’ feeling like they are being watched while doing basic daily tasks, such as making a coffee or just driving to work, can create a deep sense of psychological anxiety and stress. The abuser doesn’t have to be ___43___ present; the house itself can become a(n) ___44___ of control. For some, technology begins to feel like an invisible prison.
So what can be done?
First, awareness must rise among mental-health professionals, law enforcement, and survivors themselves. Abuse that is digital is still abuse — and it ___45___ equal recognition and response. Victims of abuse should ___46___ incidents where technology is being used coercively and speak with a domestic-violence professional who understands tech-enabled control and can support victims.
Second, survivors can take safety-centered measures. Instead of attempting to ___47___ devices, which could escalate danger, they can change passwords, update device permissions, check account access settings, log out of unknown devices, and consult a digital-safety specialist or advocacy organization. In many states of Australia and the U. S., domestic violence services now include technology-safety planning and can assist in ___48___ covert (隐藏式) tracking tools or monitoring apps.
Finally, society must push for policy that holds abusers ___49___ and for manufacturers to build technology with safeguards, transparency, and survivor-focused protections.
Smart technology should offer freedom, not fear. Recognizing the misuse of AI in the home is the first step toward ensuring that connection is never weaponized and that every home ___50___ a place of safety, not surveillance.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
In winter, Harnmerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and fierce winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.
I wanted to see the Northern Lights. But now as I picked my way through Osto in late December, I was beginning to have my doubts.
Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn’t find a taxi and had to drag my overweight bag eight blocks to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveler’s cheques to pay the 1,200-kroner bus fare — they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Brvson on my traveler’s cheques were both me — and now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.
“This isn’t happening,” I said. “I’m still at home in England enjoying Christmas.” Actually, I said, “There must be some mistake. Please look again.”
The girl studied the passenger list. “No, Mr. Bryson, your name is not here.”
But I could see it, even upside-down. “There it is, second from the bottom.”
“No,” the girl decided, “that says Bernt Bjornson. That’s a Norwegian name.”
“It doesn’t say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at they, the two l’s. Miss, please,”
But she wouldn’t have it.
“If I miss this bus, when does the next one go?”
“Next week at the same time.”
Oh, splendid.
“Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson.”
“No, it doesn’t.”
“Miss, look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life.” She didn’t buy this. “I want to see the manager.”
“He’s in Stavanger.”
“Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus, I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.” This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. “If this Bernt Bjornson doesn’t show up, can I have this seat?”
“Sure.”
Why don’t I think of these things in the first place?
“Thank you,” I said.
66. What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest?
A. It is located in the South of the city of Oslo.
B. It is where the Northern Lights can be seen.
C. It is known as a town without sufficient power supply.
D. It remains in the darkness from November till next March.
67. The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train departed because he spent much time ________.
A. cashing his traveler’s cheques B. packing everything into his luggage
C. waiting for a taxi to send him there D. choosing suitable clothes to wear
68. By “Oh, splendid”, the writer meant that he actually felt ________.
A. puzzled B. amazed C. worried D. relieved
69. Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager?
A. To tell the girl what he really wanted to do.
B. To show the girl how angry he was with her.
C. To warn the girl of the potential consequences.
D. To persuade the girl to allow him onto the bus.
【答案】66. B 67. A 68. C 69. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者为了去Hammerfest看北极光,在出发前遇到的一系列波折,包括在银行兑换旅行支票的困难以及在车站差点错过巴士的经历。
【66题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe(它位于世界的边缘,是欧洲最北端的城镇)”和第二段中“I wanted to see the Northern Lights.(我想去看北极光)”可知,Hammerfest是欧洲最北端的城镇,是作者去看北极光的目的地。故选B项。
【67题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveler’s cheques to pay the 1,200-kroner bus fare(我费了好大的劲才说服卡尔·约翰斯门的Kreditkassen银行的工作人员兑换足够的旅行支票来支付1200克朗的车费)”可知,作者花了很长时间兑换旅行支票,所以他在火车出发前两分钟才赶到车站。故选A项。
【68题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“‘If I miss this bus, when does the next one go?’ ‘Next week at the same time.’ (“如果我错过这班车,下一班是什么时候?”“下周同一时间。”)以及下文“‘Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson.’ ‘No, it doesn’t.’”(“小姐,相信我,上面写的是Bill Bryson。”“不,不是。”)”可知,作者错过这班车就要等下周同一时间的下一班车,所以当得知下一班车的时间时,作者很无奈,觉得很糟糕,因此“Oh, splendid”实际上是作者表达担忧的情绪。故选C项。
【69题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第六段“‘Miss, look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life.’ She didn’t buy this. ‘I want to see the manager.’ (“小姐,看,我从英国来。我带着一些能救孩子命的药。”她不相信。“我想见经理。”)”、倒数第五段“He’s in Stavanger. (他在斯塔万格) ”和倒数第四段中“Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus, I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century. (听着,我是打电话预订的。如果我上不了这班车,我就给你经理写一封信,这封信会在这个世纪剩下的时间里给你的职业前景投下阴影)”可知,作者说带着能救孩子命的药以及要给经理写信都是为了说服售票员让他上车。故选D项。

A therapy-animal trend attracts the United States. The San Francisco airport uses a pig to calm tired travelers. Universities nationwide bring dogs (and a donkey) onto campus to relieve students during finals. And that duck on a plane? It might be an emotional-support animal prescribed by a mental health professional.
The trend, which has been gaining popularity hugely since its initial stirrings a few decades ago, is strengthened by a widespread belief that interaction with animals can reduce distress whether it happens over belief physical contact at the airport or in long-term relationships at home. Certainly the groups offering up pets think so, as do some mental health professionals. But the popular embrace of pets as furry therapists is causing growing discomfort among some researchers in the field, who say it has raced far ahead of scientific evidence.
Earlier this year in the Journal of Applied Development Science, an introduction to articles on “animal -assisted intervention” said research into its effectiveness “remains in its infancy.” A recent literature review by Molly Crossman, a Yale University doctoral candidate who recently wrapped up one study involving an 8-year-old dog named Pardner, cited a “vague body of evidence” that sometimes has shown positive short-term effects, often found no effect and occasionally identified higher rates of distress.
Overall, Crossman wrote, animals seem to be helpful in a “small-to-medium” way, but it’s unclear whether the animals deserve the credit or something else is at play.
“It’s a field that has been sort of carried forward by the beliefs of practitioners” who have seen patients’ mental health improve after working with or adopting animals, said James Serpell, director of the Centre for the Interaction of Animals and Society at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. “That kind of thing has almost driven the field, and the research is playing catch-up. In other words, people are recognizing that stories aren’t enough.”
Using animals in mental health setting is nothing new. In the 17th century, a Quaker-run retreat in England encouraged mentally ill patients to interact with animals on its grounds. Sigmund Freud often included one of his dogs in psychoanalysis sessions. Yet the subject did not become a research target until the American psychologist Boris Levinson began writing in the 1960s about the positive effect his dog Jingles had on patients.
But the evidence to date is problematic, according to Crossman’s review and others before it. Most studies had small sample sizes, she wrote, and an “alarming number” did not control for other possible reasons for a changed stress level, such as interaction with animal’s human handler. Studies also tend to generalize across animals, she noted.

B. Mental health professionals have managed to cure patients with animals.

【答案】73. C 74. A 75. C 76. D
【解析】
【分析】本文为议论文。动物疗法自几十年前最初出现以来,一直广受欢迎。人们普遍认为,与动物的互动能少痛苦悲伤,使人更快乐。文章中针对与动物的互动有助于人类解压的论点给出了两个实验结果加以推理和批判。
【73题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The trend, which has been gaining popularity hugely since its initial stirrings a few decades ago, is strengthened by a widespread belief that interaction with animals can reduce distress whether it happens over belief physical contact at the airport or in long-term relationships at home.”可知,动物疗法自几十年前最初出现以来,一直广受欢迎。人们普遍认为,与动物的互动都能减少悲伤。而C项(人们普遍认为和动物在一起可以使人更快乐)就是对本句的同义解释。故选C。
【74题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“it’s unclear whether the animals deserve the credit or something else is at play”可知,但目前还不清楚是动物的功劳还是其他因素在有助于缓解压力。可推断出还需要更多的科学证据证明动物是有效的治疗者。故选A。
【75题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If participants are measurably relieved by one golden retriever, that doesn’t mean another dog---or another species--will arouse the same response.”可知,一种类型动物身上出现的实验结果不一定出现在另一类型动物身上,因此C项(与一种狗有关的研究结果可能不适用于另一种狗)符合题意。故选C
【76题详解】
主旨大意题。文章前两段提出观点“人们普遍认为和动物在一起可以使人更快乐”。接着本文主要针对与动物的互动有助于人类解压的论点给出了两个实验结果加以推理和批判。如第四段中的“it’s unclear whether the animals deserve the credit or something else is at play”可知,还需要更多的科学证据证明动物是有效的治疗者。最后一段“If participants are measurably relieved by one golden retriever, that doesn’t mean another dog---or another species--will arouse the same response.”可知,一种类型动物身上出现的实验结果不一定出现在另一类型动物身上。因此D项(Good dog, good therapist?“好狗,好的治疗师?”)能概括全文。故D项。

(D)
How to Become an Ambitious Go-Getter if You Are Lazy by Nature
Sometimes you wonder if you have a chance of being as successful as one of your friends or those popular on Instagram or YouTube. Sometimes you wonder if you are good or smart enough to get what you truly want. ____77____ Remember, no one and nothing will help you succeed until you take the following steps.
Don’t create a big list of goals. Lazy people have trouble achieving a few goals at once, which is why they tend to fail at the very beginning of travelling the road to success. Setting big goals is great, but only for those who are willing to work 24/7 to achieve those goals. I am not one of them so I usually focus on one thing at a time. ____78____ Think about your mistakes on Day 1, consider what you should improve on Day 2, and try to fix it on Day 3. Take it slowly, and you will certainly get what you want.
Monitor your internal dialogue. If you keep telling yourself that you will never gain success or that you are not hard-working enough to take challenging tasks, you will never become an ambitious go-getter. ____79____ When you have a negative thought, try to turn it into a positive one. Positive internal dialogue is a perfect motivator and energy-booster.
Get organized in all the areas of your life. Messy room? Messy workplace? Messy car? Messy mind? Hey, how are you going to get what you want with all that mess? Don’t you think it is time to finally get organized? Can’t live without TV? Sell it. Addicted to iPhone? Sell it and buy a cheap phone that has only text and call options. ____80____
Expand your horizons. You should get outside of your comfort zone in order to grow and get what you want. The more new things you try, the more experience you gain. The more experience you have, the easier you achieve your goals. Staying in your comfort zone is comfortable because you don’t have to take any risks, but ask any millionaire and they would say that risks are a part of success. If you really want to go somewhere further than your coach, make yourself try now new things and take risks.
A. The questions are all indicators that you are on the way to making a transformation.
B. All these little self-doubts are the biggest obstacles stopping you from being go-getting.
C. While self-assessment is precious assets, you should look at it from different perspectives.
D. Negative self-talk can destroy your self-esteem and lead to the road of misery.
E. For instance, you want to land your dream job but you were rejected after the last interview.
F. Remove the distractions, get rid of the mess and start with a clean house and clear mind.
【答案】77. B 78. E 79. D 80. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了懒人如何通过设定小目标、监控自我对话、整理生活环境和拓展视野的步骤,逐步培养积极进取的态度并走向成功。
【77题详解】
前文“Sometimes you wonder if you have a chance of being as successful as one of your friends or those popular on Instagram or YouTube. Sometimes you wonder if you are good or smart enough to get what you truly want. (有时你会怀疑自己是否有机会像你的朋友那样取得成功,或者像那些在Instagram或YouTube上走红的人那样获得成功。有时你也会怀疑自己是否足够优秀或聪明,能够得到自己真正想要的东西。)”描述你会对自己产生的一些怀疑,后文“Remember, no one and nothing will help you succeed until you take the following steps. (请记住,除非你采取以下这些步骤,否则没有人和任何事物能够帮助你取得成功。)”建议采取以下取得成功的步骤,空处应衔接前文的自我怀疑与后文的行动号召,因此B项“All these little self-doubts are the biggest obstacles stopping you from being go-getting. (所有这些微小的自我怀疑是阻碍你积极进取的最大障碍。)”符合语境,点明前文的自我怀疑的负面影响,引出后文的采取行动。故选B。
【78题详解】
前文“Setting big goals is great, but only for those who are willing to work 24/7 to achieve those goals. I am not one of them so I usually focus on one thing at a time. (设定宏伟的目标固然不错,但只有那些愿意全天候努力去实现这些目标的人才能做到。而我不是那种人,所以我通常会一次专注于一件事。)”建议放弃设定宏伟目标,而是一次只专注一件事,后文“Think about your mistakes on Day 1, consider what you should improve on Day 2, and try to fix it on Day 3. Take it slowly, and you will certainly get what you want. (第一天先思考一下所犯的错误,然后第二天思考应该改进的地方,最后在第三天努力改正。慢慢来,你一定会得到你想要的结果。)”建议逐步改正错误,直到取得结果,空出需引出与错误相关的一个实例,因此E项“For instance, you want to land your dream job but you were rejected after the last interview. (例如,你想获得梦想的工作,但在最后一次面试后被拒绝了。)”符合语境,用求职失败的实例说明如何专注一事,后文分步骤改进是对此例的延伸说明。故选E。
【79题详解】
前文“If you keep telling yourself that you will never gain success or that you are not hard-working enough to take challenging tasks, you will never become an ambitious go-getter. (如果你总是对自己说“你永远不会取得成功”或者“你不够努力,无法承担艰巨的任务”,那么你就永远也成不了一个有雄心壮志、积极进取的人。)”指出消极自我对话阻碍成功,后文“When you have a negative thought, try to turn it into a positive one. (当你产生消极的想法时,试着将其转变为积极的想法。)”建议将消极想法转为积极,空处应进一步强调消极自我对话的危害,因此D项“Negative self-talk can destroy your self-esteem and lead to the road of misery. (消极的自我对话会摧毁自尊,将你引向痛苦之路。)”符合语境,承接前文消极对话的后果,强化做出改变的紧迫性,从而引出后文。故选D。
【80题详解】
前文“Messy room? Messy workplace? Messy car? Messy mind? Hey, how are you going to get what you want with all that mess? Don’t you think it is time to finally get organized? Can’t live without TV? Sell it. Addicted to iPhone? Sell it and buy a cheap phone that has only text and call options. (房间凌乱?工作场所杂乱?汽车乱糟糟?头脑也一团糟?嘿,面对如此混乱的局面,你又打算怎样才能得到自己想要的东西呢?难道你不觉得是时候彻底整理一下了吗?离不开电视吗?把它卖掉。对苹果手机上瘾吗?卖掉它,买一部只有短信和通话功能的便宜手机吧。)”以一系列反问强调混乱的弊端,并举例说可以卖掉电视、换廉价手机,空处是段末句,可总结本段,重申摆脱混乱的主旨,因此F项“Remove the distractions, get rid of the mess and start with a clean house and clear mind. (移除干扰、清理混乱,从整洁的房屋和清晰的思维开始。)”符合语境,呼应前文对混乱的描述以及处理电视和手机的方法,概括整理行动方向。故选F。

If you think that the discomfort of World War Ⅱ was limited to that suffered by soldiers on the front lines, watch this for moving and sometimes amusing four hours.
The Hymers agree to spend several weeks living the life that Britons had in the 1940s. They dig in their garden for the mass-issue Anderson shelter; they are limited to the food amounts given by rationing; they are ____31____ criticized for not following the blackout regulations at night.
I wonder how many ____32____ Americans, not only permitted but encouraged by our economy to be wasteful, could put up with what the Hymers have to face for two days. For example, Lyn Hymers ____33____ drops a peach cobbler (馅饼) on the floor. She just scrapes it up and puts it back in the pan. If she didn’t, the hungry family would go without some of their allotted (分配的) calories at dinner time. Behind the ____34____, a board of simulators discuss what can be done to make things more ____35____ — i. e., tougher — for the family.
In the British wartime economy, there was no place for ____36____ or high fashion. Nonetheless, Lyn, with her ____37____ spirit, tries to dye her hair from her Victory Garden. The results aren’t bad.
When Ben goes away “to work at an aircraft plant up north,” Kirstie and Lyn learn to make do so thoroughly that when he returns, he’s more of an intruder into the house ecology than the husband. Little wonder soldiers on ____38____ sometimes felt unwelcome and useless, and became impatient to get back to their units, where at least they knew they were needed.
On a grim note, the narrator notes that the home next door to the Hymers was bombed in 1940; and in a neighborhood house, a mother was killed by a fall when trying to ____39____ for a baby in a blacked-out house. Modern war does not only mean deliberate death as the two sides try to kill each other, but it is a _____40_____ breeding ground for fatal accidents as well.
All in all, the movie is definitely worth watching.

The rise of artificial intelligence in the home and our daily lives delivers convenience, efficiency and connection. Smart locks that open a door with a voice command, phones that track our steps and sleep — technology now lives in our pockets through powerful apps. Yet these same technologies, when misused, are rapidly becoming tools of coercive (强制性的) control in abusive relationships.
Digital abuse is no longer limited to ___41___ messages or stolen passwords. An offender may lock someone out of their home using a smart-lock app, turn off lights or heat a room ___42___, control smart speakers in the home to intimidate or harass (骚扰).
Victims’ feeling like they are being watched while doing basic daily tasks, such as making a coffee or just driving to work, can create a deep sense of psychological anxiety and stress. The abuser doesn’t have to be ___43___ present; the house itself can become a(n) ___44___ of control. For some, technology begins to feel like an invisible prison.
So what can be done?
First, awareness must rise among mental-health professionals, law enforcement, and survivors themselves. Abuse that is digital is still abuse — and it ___45___ equal recognition and response. Victims of abuse should ___46___ incidents where technology is being used coercively and speak with a domestic-violence professional who understands tech-enabled control and can support victims.
Second, survivors can take safety-centered measures. Instead of attempting to ___47___ devices, which could escalate danger, they can change passwords, update device permissions, check account access settings, log out of unknown devices, and consult a digital-safety specialist or advocacy organization. In many states of Australia and the U. S., domestic violence services now include technology-safety planning and can assist in ___48___ covert (隐藏式) tracking tools or monitoring apps.
Finally, society must push for policy that holds abusers ___49___ and for manufacturers to build technology with safeguards, transparency, and survivor-focused protections.
Smart technology should offer freedom, not fear. Recognizing the misuse of AI in the home is the first step toward ensuring that connection is never weaponized and that every home ___50___ a place of safety, not surveillance.

The Palisades Fire in Los Angeles burned Charlotte Tragos’s home to the ground. The height chart from when she was a child was ____51____ on the kitchen wall. Family heirlooms (传家宝) filled the cupboards. Her parents’ wedding video from the 1990s was stored in the basement. All were ____52____ to ashes.

(A)
In winter, Harnmerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and fierce winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.
I wanted to see the Northern Lights. But now as I picked my way through Osto in late December, I was beginning to have my doubts.
Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn’t find a taxi and had to drag my overweight bag eight blocks to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveler’s cheques to pay the 1,200-kroner bus fare — they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Brvson on my traveler’s cheques were both me — and now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.
“This isn’t happening,” I said. “I’m still at home in England enjoying Christmas.” Actually, I said, “There must be some mistake. Please look again.”
The girl studied the passenger list. “No, Mr. Bryson, your name is not here.”
But I could see it, even upside-down. “There it is, second from the bottom.”
“No,” the girl decided, “that says Bernt Bjornson. That’s a Norwegian name.”
“It doesn’t say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at they, the two l’s. Miss, please,”
But she wouldn’t have it.
“If I miss this bus, when does the next one go?”
“Next week at the same time.”
Oh, splendid.
“Miss believe me, it says Bill Bryson.”
“No, it doesn’t.”
“Miss look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life.” She didn’t buy this. “I want to see the manager.”
“He’s in Stavanger.”
“Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus, I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.” This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. “If this Bernt Bjornson doesn’t show up, can I have this seat?”
“Sure.”
Why don’t I think of these things in the first place?
“Thank you,” I said.
66. What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest?
A. It is located in the South of the city of Oslo.
B. It is where the Northern Lights can be seen.
C. It is known as a town without sufficient power supply.
D. It remains in the darkness from November till next March.
67. The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train departed because he spent much time ________.
A. cashing his traveler’s cheques B. packing everything into his luggage
C. waiting for a taxi to send him there D. choosing suitable clothes to wear
68. By “Oh, splendid”, the writer meant that he actually felt ________.
A. puzzled B. amazed C. worried D. relieved
69. Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager?
A. To tell the girl what he really wanted to do.
B. To show the girl how angry he was with her.
C. To warn the girl of the potential consequences.
D. To persuade the girl to allow him onto the bus.

(C)
A therapy-animal trend attracts the United States. The San Francisco airport uses a pig to calm tired travelers. Universities nationwide bring dogs (and a donkey) onto campus to relieve students during finals. And that duck on a plane? It might be an emotional-support animal prescribed by a mental health professional.
The trend, which has been gaining popularity hugely since its initial stirrings a few decades ago, is strengthened by a widespread belief that interaction with animals can reduce distress whether it happens over belief physical contact at the airport or in long-term relationships at home. Certainly the groups offering up pets think so, as do some mental health professionals. But the popular embrace of pets as furry therapists is causing growing discomfort among some researchers in the field, who say it has raced far ahead of scientific evidence.
Earlier this year in the Journal of Applied Development Science, an introduction to articles on “animal -assisted intervention” said research into its effectiveness “remains in its infancy.” A recent literature review by Molly Crossman, a Yale University doctoral candidate who recently wrapped up one study involving an 8-year-old dog named Pardner, cited a “vague body of evidence” that sometimes has shown positive short-term effects, often found no effect and occasionally identified higher rates of distress.
Overall, Crossman wrote, animals seem to be helpful in a “small-to-medium” way, but it’s unclear whether the animals deserve the credit or something else is at play.
“It’s a field that has been sort of carried forward by the beliefs of practitioners” who have seen patients’ mental health improve after working with or adopting animals, said James Serpell, director of the Centre for the Interaction of Animals and Society at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. “That kind of thing has almost driven the field, and the research is playing catch-up. In other words, people are recognizing that stories aren’t enough.”
Using animals in mental health setting is nothing new. In the 17th century, a Quaker-run retreat in England encouraged mentally ill patients to interact with animals on its grounds. Sigmund Freud often included one of his dogs in psychoanalysis sessions. Yet the subject did not become a research target until the American psychologist Boris Levinson began writing in the 1960s about the positive effect his dog Jingles had on patients.
But the evidence to date is problematic, according to Crossman’s review and others before it. Most studies had small sample sizes, she wrote, and an “alarming number” did not control for other possible reasons for a changed stress level, such as interaction with animal’s human handler. Studies also tend to generalize across animals, she noted. If participants are measurably relieved by one golden retriever, that doesn’t mean another dog---or another species--will arouse the same response.
73. According to the passage, what makes the therapy-animal trend more popular?
A. It has been in existence for no less than twenty years.
B. Mental health professionals have managed to cure patients with animals.
C. It is widely assumed that staying with animals can make people happier.
D. There is much related research to show that animals do good to some patients.
74. Molly Crossman is quoted in the passage to ____
A. illustrate more scientific evidence is needed that animals are effective therapists.
B. highlight the importance of practitioners’ beliefs in the field of animal therapies.
C. question Srepell’s view that animals deserve the credit in helping patients.
D. criticize people for their taking human-animal stories too seriously.
75. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Animal-assisted intervention turns out to be of more use than people think.
B. It is hard to see how many reasons there are for people to benefit from animals.
C. Research findings relating to one breed of dogs may not apply to another breed.
D. Small sample sizes can sometimes produce reliable effects in human-animal studies
76. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. More evidence found for dog-human relationship
B. Potential effects dogs have on patients
C. Therapeutic animal: nothing new
D. Good dog, good therapist?

How to Become an Ambitious Go-Getter if You Are Lazy by Nature
Sometimes you wonder if you have a chance of being as successful as one of your friends or those popular on Instagram or YouTube. Sometimes you wonder if you are good or smart enough to get what you truly want. ____77____ Remember no one and nothing will help you succeed until you take the following steps.
Don’t create a big list of goals. Lazy people have trouble achieving a few goals at once, which is why they tend to fail at the very beginning of travelling the road to success. Setting big goals is great, but only for those who are willing to work 24/7 to achieve those goals. I am not one of them so I usually focus on one thing at a time. ____78____ Think about your mistakes on Day 1, consider what you should improve on Day 2, and try to fix it on Day 3. Take it slowly, and you will certainly get what you want.
Monitor your internal dialogue. If you keep telling yourself that you will never gain success or that you are not hard-working enough to take challenging tasks, you will never become an ambitious go-getter. ____79____ When you have a negative thought, try to turn it into a positive one. Positive internal dialogue is a perfect motivator and energy-booster.
Get organized in all the areas of your life. Messy room? Messy workplace? Messy car? Messy mind? Hey, how are you going to get what you want with all that mess? Don’t you think it is time to finally get organized? Can’t live without TV? Sell it. Addicted to iPhone? Sell it and buy a cheap phone that has only text and call options. ____80____
Expand your horizons. You should get outside of your comfort zone in order to grow and get what you want. The more new things you try, the more experience you gain. The more experience you have, the easier you achieve your goals. Staying in your comfort zone is comfortable because you don’t have to take any risks, but ask any millionaire and they would say that risks are a part of success. If you really want to go somewhere further than your coach, make yourself try now new things and take risks.
A. The questions are all indicators that you are on the way to making a transformation.
B. All these little self-doubts are the biggest obstacles stopping you from being go-getting.
C. While self-assessment is precious assets, you should look at it from different perspectives.
D. Negative self-talk can destroy your self-esteem and lead to the road of misery.
E. For instance, you want to land your dream job but you were rejected after the last interview.
F. Remove the distractions, get rid of the mess and start with a clean house and clear mind.
