Around 4 p.m., a small brown dog named Duoduo runs out. She moves her tail happily at the sight of Xiao Peng. Xiao comes to care for Duoduo when her owner is away. Xiao gets down as Duoduo jumps into his arms. After he pets her, Duoduo smells her food bowl (食盆), runs around the table, and then runs straight to the leash (拴狗绳) by the door.
During the day, Xiao is a PE teacher in Beijing. After his own dog died in 2021, he started to be a pet sitter (宠物看护员) for busy families. “When I show animals kindness, they give it right back. It feels good to be needed, ” he says.
More young people in Chinese cities are now doing this job. Since around 2019, pet sitting has been popular because it is easy to start, offers flexible (灵活的) hours and is in high demand. Many people make more money by visiting pets on weekends or holidays.
This need comes from more people keeping pets now. By 2024, there were over 124 million pets in Chinese cities. These pets are mostly owned by people who were born in the 1980s and 1990s. Long working hours make it hard to care for pets in busy cities, especially during holidays when owners travel.
Pet sitting is growing, but there are few rules for it. This can sometimes cause safety problems or poor service. To do their job better, some pet sitters are now taking classes to improve their skills.

Some primary schools in the United States allow students to keep pets in the classroom. While class pets can be cute and cuddly, many people are concerned that they’re also a distraction for students and an added responsibility for teachers. What do you think? Should we stop having classroom pets?
Yes-school is for learning
Classroom pets are adorable, but that’s exactly the problem. Students will want to play with them all day, rather than paying attention to reading, math, or science. Taking care of class pets requires time and effort, which isn’t fair to teachers. Even if kids help, the teacher is ultimately responsible for the animals and making sure someone takes them home during school breaks. Noisy classrooms can also be scary and stressful for pets, which can cause health problems for them. Besides, students and teachers might not know the best way to care for them, and if the animals need to see a vet, who will pay the bill for that? Overall, it’s not a great idea.
No-they’re a beneficial bonus
Caring for animals in class teaches students to take care of another living thing and helps them learn responsibility and compassion. Many students don’t have pets at home, so this is their only chance to have that experience. Students can also develop strong emotional bonds with class pets, which can positively affect their behavior and performance in school. And kids who are feeling stressed or upset can spend time with the animal, which will help them calm down and feel better. Class pets are also great for learning. There are many ways to incorporate them into math problems, creative writing, or science lessons.
21.What is the main argument against having pets in the classroom?
A.They are too expensive for schools to afford.
B.Most students are allergic to common classroom pets.
C.They often make the classroom too noisy for teaching.
D.They distract students from learning and add extra responsibility for teachers.
22.According to the “Yes” opinion, what might cause health problems for classroom pets?
A.Hunger and thirst. B.Noisy classrooms.
C.Cold temperature. D.Dirty living space.
23.According to the “No” opinion, which student might benefit MOST from having a class pet?
A.A student who already has three pets at home.
B.A student who is always the first to finish their work.
C.A student who feels anxious before a big test.
D.A student who prefers learning through lectures only.
24.What is the underlined word “incorporate” most closely means?
A.to separate from B.to take a look carefully
C.to include or combine D.to draw a picture of
25.Why does the author present both “Yes” and “No” views?
A.To present a balanced discussion on a debated topic.
B.To encourage schools to buy more pets for classes.
C.To prove that class pets are harmful to learning.
D.To show that having class pets is mainly a teacher’s decision.

【详解】36.句意:人类与狗之间的友谊可能始于一万四千年前。时间状语“14,000 years ago”表示过去,描述过去发生的动作,需用一般过去时。“begin”的过去式为“began”。
37.句意:这里有一个当今狗狗在人类世界生活的例子。此处表示泛指“一个例子”,且“example”以元音音素开头,需用不定冠词“an”。
38.句意:这只狗就像是Nancy家庭的一员。此处表示“像”,需用介词“like”,表示“如同,像……一样”。
39.句意:Nancy非常细心地照顾Jessie。修饰动词短语“looks after”,需用副词形式作状语。“care”的副词形式为“carefully”,意为“细心地”。
40.句意:每天,Nancy都为她的宠物狗烹饪肉类和不同种类的蔬菜。时间状语“Every day”表明句子描述经常发生的习惯性动作,应用一般现在时。主语“Nancy”为第三人称单数,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式cooks。
41.句意:她甚至在早餐后带Jessie去晨练。“take exercise”是固定短语,意为“锻炼”,此处“morning exercise”指“晨练”,“exercise”意为“锻炼”时,是不可数名词。
42.句意:Nancy的丈夫是一位著名的医生,他们唯一的儿子远在北京,所以她有足够的时间和金钱来照顾Jessie。修饰名词“son”,需用形容词性物主代词“their”。
43.句意:Nancy的丈夫是一位著名的医生,他们唯一的儿子远在北京,所以她有足够的时间和金钱来照顾Jessie。前后句之间存在因果关系,前句说明儿子不在身边,后句说明结果(有时间照顾狗),故填连词so。
44.句意:她真的很享受做这件事。“enjoy doing sth.”是固定搭配,意为“喜欢做某事”,需接动名词“doing”。
45.句意:她说:“我想尽可能给我的狗最健康和最美好的生活!”。and连接两个并列的形容词最高级,修饰名词life。“wonderful”是多音节形容词,其最高级形式为most wonderful。并列的两个形容词最高级共用前面同一个the。

Around 4 p.m., a small brown dog named Duoduo runs out. She moves her tail happily at the sight of Xiao Peng. Xiao comes to care for Duoduo when her owner is away. Xiao gets down as Duoduo jumps into his arms. After he pets her, Duoduo smells her food bowl (食盆), runs around the table, and then runs straight to the leash (拴狗绳) by the door.
During the day, Xiao is a PE teacher in Beijing. After his own dog died in 2021, he started to be a pet sitter (宠物看护员) for busy families. “When I show animals kindness, they give it right back. It feels good to be needed, ” he says.
More young people in Chinese cities are now doing this job. Since around 2019, pet sitting has been popular because it is easy to start, offers flexible (灵活的) hours and is in high demand. Many people make more money by visiting pets on weekends or holidays.
This need comes from more people keeping pets now. By 2024, there were over 124 million pets in Chinese cities. These pets are mostly owned by people who were born in the 1980s and 1990s. Long working hours make it hard to care for pets in busy cities, especially during holidays when owners travel.
Pet sitting is growing, but there are few rules for it. This can sometimes cause safety problems or poor service. To do their job better, some pet sitters are now taking classes to improve their skills.

Some primary schools in the United States allow students to keep pets in the classroom. While class pets can be cute and cuddly, many people are concerned that they’re also a distraction for students and an added responsibility for teachers. What do you think? Should we stop having classroom pets?
Yes-school is for learning
Classroom pets are adorable, but that’s exactly the problem. Students will want to play with them all day, rather than paying attention to reading, math, or science. Taking care of class pets requires time and effort, which isn’t fair to teachers. Even if kids help, the teacher is ultimately responsible for the animals and making sure someone takes them home during school breaks. Noisy classrooms can also be scary and stressful for pets, which can cause health problems for them. Besides, students and teachers might not know the best way to care for them, and if the animals need to see a vet, who will pay the bill for that? Overall, it’s not a great idea.
No-they’re a beneficial bonus
Caring for animals in class teaches students to take care of another living thing and helps them learn responsibility and compassion. Many students don’t have pets at home, so this is their only chance to have that experience. Students can also develop strong emotional bonds with class pets, which can positively affect their behavior and performance in school. And kids who are feeling stressed or upset can spend time with the animal, which will help them calm down and feel better. Class pets are also great for learning. There are many ways to incorporate them into math problems, creative writing, or science lessons.
21.What is the main argument against having pets in the classroom?
A.They are too expensive for schools to afford.
B.Most students are allergic to common classroom pets.
C.They often make the classroom too noisy for teaching.
D.They distract students from learning and add extra responsibility for teachers.
22.According to the “Yes” opinion, what might cause health problems for classroom pets?
A.Hunger and thirst. B.Noisy classrooms.
C.Cold temperature. D.Dirty living space.
23.According to the “No” opinion, which student might benefit MOST from having a class pet?
A.A student who already has three pets at home.
B.A student who is always the first to finish their work.
C.A student who feels anxious before a big test.
D.A student who prefers learning through lectures only.
24.What is the underlined word “incorporate” most closely means?
A.to separate from B.to take a look carefully
C.to include or combine D.to draw a picture of
25.Why does the author present both “Yes” and “No” views?
A.To present a balanced discussion on a debated topic.
B.To encourage schools to buy more pets for classes.
C.To prove that class pets are harmful to learning.
D.To show that having class pets is mainly a teacher’s decision.
