But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently had needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “Shes exactly the same,” Buhler said.4.

36、个电视迷。一条狗的回家之路中的明星谢尔比有一个倒霉的故事，可能会超过所有人。在她的重大突破之前，她住在垃圾堆里，翻着垃圾寻找下一顿饭。由此可知，作者在一开始就提到了一个演员在事业取得突破之前的挣扎，并介绍了一只狗的类似但更引人注目的经历。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中One day, Miller spotted Baby Girls adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl,
37、 and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands.一天，米勒发现了Baby Girl的收养照片。米勒说：“说实话，这张照片拍得很好，她笑得很灿烂。”然后她遇到了Baby Girl，并对她的性格和对简单命令的反应能力进行了评估。由此可知，她的性格和能力最终帮助Baby Girl在电影中获得了重要角色。故选C。【6题详解】词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中Most of the films reviews have praised Shelbys performance. Variety made
38、 the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!”大多数影评都赞扬了谢尔比的表演。Variety评论道：“一只神奇的狗，完美的表演！”和最后一段Shelby has come a long way from the dump. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently had needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “Shes exactly the same,”
39、谢尔比从垃圾场一路走来。但布勒说，她最近看到谢尔比只用了一秒钟就把这位电影明星和她在垃圾堆里找到的那条狗做了比较。“她完全一样”。由此可知，通过在最后一段中说“她完全一样”，布勒可能是指狗狗生活的巨大变化并没有改变她的内在品质。故选D。【7题详解】主旨大意题。文章介绍了一只垃圾小狗到成为一名电影明星的引人注目的经历。所以B项From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star.(从垃圾小狗到电影明星)为最佳标题。故选B。CChina has long been tipped to be the next Silicon Valley, but now the financ
40、es and support are in place to make it happen. There is a growing consensus （共识）that while Silicon Valley is not about to disappear any time soon, its next biggest rival is already on the verge of bursting onto the international scene not in the US, nor in the EU, but in Asia. More specifically, Chi
41、na. This is not just an observation based on the rise of companies like Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent. It is grounded in a more widespread move to fund start-ups in Asia to the point where more money is being invested there than in Europe. Just five years ago, Europe and Asia are neck and neck in terms
42、 of investment. In 2013, Europe made slightly more deals. 1550 compared to Asias 1071. but the total value of investment was S7bn. Just five years later, Asia is now four times the size of Europe with twice as many deals carried out. Between 2013 to 2018. the number of deals in Asia increased nearly
43、 fivefold, and their value leapt to S81bn, compared to the S21 bn raised in Europe. The Asian figure also shows that the continent is closing the gap on the US which saw $105bn worth of deals. One of the main reasons that makes the country so attractive is not just the huge growth in investment and
44、high education standards, but also local and national governmental support benefiting tech companies. In fact, one of the conclusions of a recent Fortune tech conference was that Chinas tech companies will soon be beating American companies on their home turf(地盘）. One of the reasons is that investor

Plus, Chinese companies are now able to start paying salaries that can keep pace with those on offer in Silicon Valley. 1 fence, when Ian Roger, Chief Digital Official at luxury group

52、企业提供资金的做法更为普遍，投资于亚洲的资金已经超过了欧洲。”由此可知，“它的第二大竞争对手已经在国际舞台上崭露头角不是在美国，也不是在欧盟，而是在亚洲。更具体地说,中国。”所以划线词的意思是“正要的时候”。故选D。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段One of the main reasons that makes the country so attractive is not just the huge growth in investment and high education standards, but also local and national governmental s
53、upport benefiting tech companies.“中国如此具有吸引力的主要原因之一，不仅是投资的巨大增长和高教育标准，还有地方和国家政府对科技公司的支持。”由此可知，比硅谷更高的薪水并不是中国吸引外资投资科技公司的原因。故选D。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第七段中One of the reasons is that investors believe US immigration policy is making it more difficult for the best talent around the world to find work there.“原因之一是，
54、投资者认为，美国的移民政策加大了全球最优秀人才在美国找到工作的难度。”由此可知，不能从文章中推断出美国的移民政策是严格的，但对人才是友好的。故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段China has long been tipped to be the next Silicon Valley, but now the finances and support are in place to make it happen.“长期以来，人们一直认为中国将成为下一个硅谷，但现在，实现这一目标所需的资金和支持已经到位。根据第五段One of the main reasons that makes

56、 through achievements. In doing that, they end up caring more about their image than the reality of who they actually are. Rather than their performance at work, they end up defining themselves by external markers that they hope will earn them respect.The problem with this is that it encourages both
57、 themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure. For example, one day, their educational diploma may overshadow what they actually learned. Therefore, a better way to know a person, I think, is to ask a different set of questions: What motivates them? W

66、了他理解世界的价值观。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“People generally see themselves through achievements. (人们通常通过成就来看待自己)”及第二段第一句“The problem with this is that it encourages both themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure.(这样做的问题在于，它会鼓励自己和他人根据一些相对不重要的标准来判断自己的价值)”可知，人们通常
67、根据别人的成就来判断他们的价值。故选A项。【13题详解】词义猜测题。第二段中提到“The problem with this is that it encourages both themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure. For example, one day, their educational diploma may overshadow what they actually learned. 这样做的问题在于，它会鼓励自己和他人根据一些相对
68、不重要的标准来判断自己的价值。例如，有一天，他们的教育文凭可能会_他们真正学到的东西”，由“根据一些相对不重要的标准来判断自己的价值”，且真正学到的东西比教育文凭重要,可猜测出，划线词overshadow意为“掩盖，认为更显眼”，也就是使真正学习到的东西没那么重要。故选C项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段第二、三句“I hope to be self-aware enough to Id rather compete with myself.”可知，作者认为人应该有自我意识，并与他们自己竞争，A选项的描述符合作者的观点，故选A项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Its in th
