A
Kang Sung-il buys Sancho, his Pomeranian, a toy every business trip and this lunar New Year holiday will dress him up in s new $50 suit to visit ‘grandma’, Kang’s mother. Kang and his wife say children are too expensive and bring too much pressure. Instead they have chosen to shower Sancho with love and gifts.
They are not alone. South Korea’s pet industry is booming, fuelled by the same factors that have made the country’s birth rate, at 1.05 births per woman, the lowest in the world: the high cost of education and housing as well as extremely long working days.
“Social pressures in South Korea are such that parents are required to provider resources for decades from private schooling to art classes,” said Kang a 39 year old manager of a pet funeral home.
On top of education expenses, an average an household must budget roughly 12.8 years of
income to buy a mid-range home, compared to 8.8 years in 2014, data from KB Kookmin Bank shows. Adding to their stress, south Koreans work the third most hours per year among OECD (经合组织) nations, next only to Mexico and costa Rica.
Pet-owning households have rose to 28 percent of all South Korean households in 2018, compared with 18 percent in 2012, government data shows.
That in turn has resulted in a prosperous pet care industry whose offerings include tailored pet diets and high-priced photo shoots. Pet-related startup s are also popular with venture capitalists. The south Korean pet-related industry was worth 2.7 trillion won ($2.4 billion) last year, and that could more than double in size by 2027, according to the Korean Rural Economic Institute.
1、What do the underlined words “his Pomeranian” in paragraph I refer to?
A．His son. B．His pet.
C．A toy. D．Sancho’s brother.
2、What may NOT be the result of expensive education and houses along with long working hours?
A．The birth rate in South Korean is the lowest in the world.
B．28 percent of the South Korean families raised pets in 2018.
C．There are more pet-related businesses than before.
D．Parents send their children to private schools.
3、Which of the following may be the service offered in a pet-related industry?
A．Training the pet to be a tailor. B．Showering the pet with gifts.
C．Taking pictures for customers’ pets. D．Shooting the pet with a false gun.
4、According to the passage, many people think that giving birth to a baby
A．Costs too much B．Is a must
C．Is boring D．Brings happiness

B
When Apple cut its expectation benefit for the last quarter of 2018 because of slow sales of iPhones, markets were shocked. The company’s share price, which had been sliding for months, fell by a further 10% on January 3rd, the day after the news came out. Apple’s suppliers’ shares were also hit. But Apple’s pain is humans’ gain. The fact that these magical devices are now so popular is something to be celebrated.
Nearly 4bn of the 5.5bn adults on the planet now have one smartphone. They connect billions of people to the internet’s huge amount of information and services. Phones make markets more efficient and inspire growth. Yes, they can be used for wasting time and spreading disinformation. But the good far outweighs the bad. They might be the most effective tool of development in existence.
Actually this slowdown is the result of market saturation (饱和). After a decade of rapid taking-in, there is much less opportunity to sell handsets to first-time buyers as so few of them are left. And replacement cycles are becoming longer as new models offer only insignificant improvements. For all but the craziest fans, the slowing pace of upgrades comes as a welcome relief.
Does that mean innovation (创新) is slowing? No. The latest phones contain amazingly clever technology such as 3D face-scanners and cameras assisted by artificial intelligence. Moreover, smartphones also provide a foundation for extra innovations, like mobile payments and video streaming, and for future ones, such as controlling “smart” home equipment or robotaxis.
As computers become smaller, still more personal and closer to people’s bodies, many scientists believe that wearable devices will be the next big thing. Even so, finding another product with the range of the smartphone is a tall order. The recent slowing of smartphone sales is bad news for the industry, obviously. But for the rest of humans it is a welcome sign that a transformative technology has become almost universal.
1、The writer considers the slowdown of smartphone sales good news because ___________.
A．it can make market more efficient B．it slows crazy fans’ pace of upgrades
C．it means less disinformation will spread D．it indicates the popularity of smartphones
2、We can infer from the text that ___________.
A．wearable devices will take the place of smartphones very soon
B．in the future people might take a smartphone-controlled robotaxi
C．Apple’s suppliers’ shares hit a record high after the news came out
D．Apple’s share prices are likely to go on sliding in the next decade
3、What is the best title for the text?
A．A Brand New Age for Humans B．Smartphone, a Good Tool or a Bad Tool?
C．New Technology in Smartphones D．Bad News for Apple, Good News for Humans
