With the availability of easy-to-use at-home kits, DNA testing for dogs has become increasingly popular among dog owners in recent years. It can provide invaluable insights into a dog’s breed, health risks, and even behaviors.
DNA testing typically works by analyzing the genetic material found in a sample of cells taken from the inside of your dog’s cheek. This sample is then compared to a database of known breeds and genetic markers associated with certain traits or health conditions.
The first step in obtaining a DNA test kit is selecting which type you want. Most companies offer several different types of tests that vary in cost and complexity. For instance, some tests just analyze your dog’s breed, while others can assess additional genetic markers associated with certain diseases or behaviors.
Then it’s time to collect your dog’s sample using the swab (拭子) kit or saliva-collection tube included with most kits. The swab should be gently rubbed inside your pet’s cheek according to the kit’s directions before being placed into the collection container provided by the company. After collecting the sample, it should be mailed back to the laboratory for processing according to instructions given by the company. Once received by the lab, it typically takes 1-2 weeks for results to be processed and sent back via email or mail. Results will vary depending on which type of test was purchased, but they generally include detailed information about your pet’s breed composition as well as any potential health risks or behavioral traits associated with their genetics that could affect their overall well-being and quality of life.
If you’re looking for an easy way to learn more about your pup’s background without spending too much money, then DNA testing might just be right up your alley.

Portia Kapraun has always seen unwelcome ads on Twitter, usually from major brands pitching (竭力推销) her expensive jewelry or vehicles that she, as a librarian in Indiana, could not afford. Ms. Kapraun was not interested. But she soon saw the ads again. And again. And again. “These feel like low-end ads,” she said. In a shaky advertising market in an uncertain economy, ads that few people want to see suddenly seem to be everywhere.
Advancements in digital advertising technology were meant to improve users’ experience. People interested in shoes are intended to get ads for sneakers and boots, not repeated pitches promoting gold investments. And the technology is supposed to remove misleading or dangerous pitches. But lately, on several platforms, the opposite seems to be happening for a variety of reasons, including a slowdown in the overall digital ad market. As numerous deep-pocketed markets have pulled back, and the softer market has led several digital platforms to lower their ad pricing, opportunities have opened up for less demanding advertisers.
Advertising experts agree that poor-quality ads appear to be increasing greatly. They point to a variety of potential causes: internal troubles at technology companies, weak content moderation (审核), and high-level advertisers seeking other choices. Then, there’s the economy: A recent survey of 43 multinational companies representing more than $44 billion in advertising spending found that nearly 30 percent planned to cut back on their marketing spending last year.
Other factors are also contributing to lower advertising quality. Social media advertising, once only practiced by specialists, is now easily available to anyone. Many of them are avoiding targeted ads—placements intended to reach specific audiences, usually at a higher cost -- in favor of a cheaper spray-and-pray (广撒网式的) approach online, hoping to catch the attention of gullible (容易受骗的) or bored shoppers. Major social media platforms are now like “a mall that used to be good”, Corey Richardson, vice president at a multicultural ad company, says. “But now there’s no longer a mall there —it’s just a place selling anything.”
5. Why does the author mention Portia Kapraun’s experience
A．To show annoying low-grade ads are widespread online.
B．To prove big brands spend much on social media ads.
C．To explain librarians seldom care about online shopping.
D．To describe the convenient function of social platforms.
6. What does “less demanding advertisers” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Advertisers with enough funds.
B．Advertisers who can afford cheap ad fees.
C．Advertisers producing high-quality goods.
D．Advertisers targeting professional audiences.
7. What’s Corey Richardson’s attitude toward current social media ads
A．Supportive.
B．Neutral.
C．Dissatisfied.
D．Unconcerned.
8. What is the core reason for more low-quality online ads
A．Advanced ad targeting technology.
B．Big companies cutting ad budgets.
C．Strict online content management rules.
D．Users’ demand for various online products.
C
Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2025, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility and for fun. As a result, people form emotional bonds with AI more and more often.
Research on human-machine interaction shows humans tend to give human feelings to non-human tools like AI chatbots. Thanks to progress in AI language technology, these virtual programs can communicate with people vividly.
Various chatbots are widely used in education, mental comfort and entertainment. When chatting with AI, people share their true feelings and thoughts, and gain emotional comfort. However, hidden risks exist. Many chat platforms collect users’ private words and emotions to make profits. The creator of Replika admitted that they would use users’ chat data to design targeted ads.
Though AI virtual partners can bring comfort, they cannot replace real human communication. Some experts warn that over-reliance on AI emotional companions will weaken people’s ability to interact with real people.
9. What does Paragraph 1 serve as
A．A background introduction.
B．A supporting example.
C．A main argument.
D．A concluding summary.
10. What advantage does modern AI chatbot have
A．It can replace human teachers.
B．It can figure out users’ secret data.
C．It can conduct vivid conversations with humans.
D．It can earn money automatically for users.
11. What risk may emotional AI chatbots bring
A．They will spread false information.
B．They may abuse users’ private data.
C．They will replace real jobs in the future.
D．They may cause users’ sleep disorders.
12. What is the expert’s warning about AI companions
A．People will lose real social competence.
B．AI will completely take over people’s daily life.
C．Virtual lovers will affect people’s marriage.
D．Chatbots will produce negative emotions.

59. 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。
Amy’s teacher had given the class a special homework: bake a cake at home and bring it to school to share with everyone. Excited but nervous, Amy felt a mixture of hope and fear inside her. She had never baked before—never even cracked an egg in the kitchen—but she was sure to surprise her classmates with something homemade, something sweet and delicious.
That afternoon, Amy stood in the kitchen, staring at the cookbook like it was a secret code waiting to be unlocked. Flour, sugar, eggs, butter—the list seemed simple enough. She carefully gathered the materials, trying to steady her trembling hands. Taking a deep breath, she began. She cracked the eggs, measured the flour, and mixed the batter. But as she poured the pale, runny mixture into the pan, she hesitated. It looked thinner than she had expected, like watery mud. “Maybe I forgot something,” she worried.
Amy put the pan in the oven and sat waiting, feeling her heart beat fast. The kitchen was very quiet; she could only hear the clock ticking and sometimes the old house making soft noises. When the oven beeped, she opened the door and was shocked. Instead of a light and soft cake, there was a flat, wet mess. Her happy feeling disappeared, and she felt very frustrated and disappointed. “Maybe I can’t bake,” she said quietly, looking at the failed cake.
But Amy did not give up easily. After taking a deep breath and standing quietly for a moment, she wiped her hands on a towel and decided to try again. This time, she sifted the flour carefully, measured everything exactly, and mixed slowly, just as her friend had told her. She followed the cookbook step by step, trying not to rush. But when the timer went off, the middle of the cake had fallen, and it looked lumpy, like a flat balloon. Tears came to Amy’s eyes as she looked at the failed cake. She felt sad and upset, and wondered if she would ever succeed.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just then, her mother stepped in.
