As humanity has got richer, animal's roles have changed．People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine（内燃机）made horses unneeded； modern sanitation（卫生设备）kept rats in check and made cats less useful． No longer necessities,domestic animals became luxuries．Pet-keeping seems to kick in when household incomes rise above roughly ＄5，000．It is booming．
The trend is not a new one．Archaeologists（考古学家）have found 10，000-year-old graves in which dogs and people are buried together．Some cultures -- such as in Scandinavia，where dogs have long been both working dogs and companions -- have kept pets for thousands of years．But these days the pet-keeping urge has spread even to parts of the world which have no tradition of sinking into a comfortable chair with a furry creature．
The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers，because people are spending more and more money on them．No longer are they food - waste - recyclers，fed with the remains that fall from their masters' tables．Pet - food shelves are full of delicacies crafted to satisfy a range of appetites，including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old， diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion；a number of internet services offer food，tailored to the pet's individual tastes．
In the business this is called "pet humanisation" -- the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family．This is evident in the names given to dogs，which have evolved from Fido，Rex and Spot to -- in America -- Bella，Lucy and Max．It is evident in the growing market for pet clothing，pet grooming and pet hotels．
People still assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way，perhaps making people healthier or less anxious．But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests that dogs have evolved those irresistible "puppy - dog eyes" precisely to affect human emotions．It has worked. The species that once enslaved others now works very hard to pay for the care of its pets. Sentimental（多愁善感的）Americans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cat's "mommy" or "daddy". South Koreans go one further,describing themselves as cat "butlers". Watch an unlucky dog-walker trailing "his" hound（猎犬）, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and you have to wonder：who's in charge now？
24.Which of the following trends is NOT TRUE according to the passage？___
A．People's needs for animal services are decreasing．
B．Both the pet number and the pet business are growing．
C．Pets are increasingly making their owners less anxious．
D．Pet foods are more various and customized than before．
25Which of the following is referred to as evidence of "pet humanization？"___
A．The names given to pets in American families nowadays．
B．Pet's inbuilt ability to affect emotions of their owners．
C．Human beings ever rising urge for pet-keeping．
D．Pet's roles as both working staff and companions．
26.Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with？___
A．Pets should be treated as equals of their human masters．
B．Human beings are getting much benefit from their pets．
C．Pet-keeping is still restricted within certain parts of the world．
D．Some pet owners spend too much money on their pets．
27.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？___
A．The Changing Roles of Animals B．The Urge for Pet-keeping
C．Who Owns Whom D．Love Me， Love My Dog
C
Folk tales have saddled(使承担) the moon with major responsibilities: moods, increases in crime and even mental disorders are blamed on the Earth's only constant natural satellite. But could the “lunar effect” disturb sleep
Scientists have long understood that human activity is facilitated by light, be it sunlight, moonlight or artificial light. But a recent study suggests our ability to sleep is distinctly affected by the lunar cycle, even when taking into account artificial sources of light.
Using wrist monitors, researchers tracked sleep patterns in 98 individuals living in three local communities in Argentina over the course of one to two months. One rural community had no electricity access，a second rural community had limited access to electricity, while a third community was located in an urban setting and had full access to electricity.
Participants in all three communities showed the same pattern of sleep oscillations(波动) as the moon progressed through its 29.5 day cycle, with sleep duration changing by between 20 and more than 90 minutes, and bedtimes varying by 30 to 80 minutes.
In each community, the peak of participants sleeping less and staying up later occurred in the three to five day period prior to full moon nights, and the opposite occurred on the nights before the new moon, the authors found.
Unsurprisingly, data showed the “lunar phase effect” on sleep appeared to be stronger the more limited access to electricity was.
“The result strongly suggests that human sleep is synchronized(同步) with lunar phases regardless of ethnic and socio cultural background and of the level of urbanisation，” the researchers wrote in the journal ScienceAdvances.
De la Iglesia added: “We humans tend to believe that we managed to somehow control nature, and the use of artificial light is a great example of that. But it turns out that there are some forces of nature that we cannot get away from.”
Derk Jan Dijk, a professor of sleep and physiology and the director of a sleep research centre at the University of Surrey, described the study as exciting but noted that the researchers had not addressed internal influences such as body clocks that could affect sleep patterns.
28. What is the recent study mainly about
A. The harm of lunar effect.
B. The reliability of folk tales.
C. The function of artificial light.
D. The effect of the lunar cycle on sleep.
29. When did the participants in the experiment sleep least
A. On the full moon night. B. On the new moon night.
C. On the night after the new moon. D. On the night before the full moon.
30. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph but one refer to
A. Controlling nature. B. The level of urbanisation.
C. The escape from forces of nature. D. Synchronizing with lunar phases.
31. What did Derk Jan Dijk think of the research findings
Groundless. B. Persuasive. C. Incomplete. D. Impressive.
D
Tencent Cloud, the cloud computing branch of Internet giant Tencent, is stepping up its artificial intelligence (AI) focus with an eye on the profit opportunities for the sector in China.
The cloud computing service provider on Wednesday launched a series of new AI products that seek to lower the skill barriers for enterprise customers.
“The blossoming AI, big data and other digital technologies over recent years strongly point toward an inevitable trend of intelligent upgrade of industries,” said Wang Long, vice-president of Tencent Cloud. “Companies are eager for more advanced AI applications to generate new power for industrial development." Wang added that companies need to offer comprehensive AI solutions that can truly generate value and help clients embrace digital transformation.
The cloud service provider also announced on Wednesday that it has upgraded all its AI and big data products, as part of the larger efforts to strengthen its leading position in the market.
With the booming new technologies and supportive government policies, China is fast becoming a fertile (肥沃的) market for the development of AI technologies and the applications, powered by leading tech giants such as Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu.
By the end of 2018, China had 3,341 AI companies and was ranking second behind the United States, said an AI development report released last year by the Ministry of Science and Technology. It also showed that the US, China and the United Kingdom are at the forefront of AI. From 2013 to 2018, global scientists published more than 300,000 papers in AI research, with China leading in the number of published papers at 74,408, followed by the US at 51,766.
According to a national plan released in 2017, China is set to become the world leader in AI by 2030. By 2021, China’s AI industry is expected to be worth 150 billion yuan(US $21 billion).
“Both AI adoption and spending are picking up fast,” Andrea Minonne, a senior research analyst with International Data Corp, said in a recent report. “AI is the game changer in a highly competitive environment, especially across customer-facing industries such as retail and finance, where AI has the power to push customer experiences to the next level with virtual assistants, product recommendations, or visual searches.”
32.According to Wang Long, ________ is the way to help customers embrace digital transformation.
A. upgrading AI and big data applications
B. providing full-scale AI solutions
C. designing more brand-new AI products
D. outselling all opponent companies
33.What can we learn from the passage
A. Tencent Cloud launched a series of new Al products to make more profits.
B. The value of China’s AI industry is expected to be higher than that of the US by 2021.
C. Tencent Cloud has improved its Al products to enhance its position in the market.
D. China was only second to the US in the number of AI research papers published from 2013 to 2018.
34.How is the sixth paragraph mainly developed
A. By giving explanations. B. By following natural time order.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.
35.What can we conclude from Minonne’s words
A. AI plays a vital role only in retail and finance.
B. AI helps a lot in improving customer experiences.
C. The use of AI will gradually decrease in the future.
D. AI provides customers with virtual assistants, not practical suggestions.

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。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother's favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks(裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members. Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mothers face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右
The mother said, "This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy's bad attitude disappeared.
