【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要說(shuō)明了一項(xiàng)新的調(diào)查，養(yǎng)寵物的人可能在職業(yè)上更成功，這對(duì)雄心勃勃的寵物父母來(lái)說(shuō)絕對(duì)是個(gè)好消息。同時(shí)說(shuō)明了研究過(guò)程以及養(yǎng)寵物究竟是如何促進(jìn)事業(yè)成功的。

【1】

考查形容詞。句意：根據(jù)一項(xiàng)新的調(diào)查，養(yǎng)寵物的人可能在職業(yè)上更成功，這對(duì)雄心勃勃的寵物父母來(lái)說(shuō)絕對(duì)是個(gè)好消息。結(jié)合上文may be more professionally（可能更專業(yè)）可知應(yīng)填形容詞作表語(yǔ)。故填successful。

【2】

考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)語(yǔ)態(tài)。句意：這項(xiàng)調(diào)查是由Kelton Global Research為Banfield寵物醫(yī)院進(jìn)行的。本句中主語(yǔ)與謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系，描述過(guò)去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，主語(yǔ)為survey，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)。故填was conducted。

【3】

考查固定短語(yǔ)。句意：研究人員調(diào)查了美國(guó)857名從事不同職業(yè)的成年人。表示“各種各樣的”短語(yǔ)為 varieties of。故填varieties。

【4】

考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意：在接受調(diào)查的企業(yè)高管中，93%的人在家中養(yǎng)寵物長(zhǎng)大，78%的人認(rèn)為，與寵物一起長(zhǎng)大有助于他們成年后事業(yè)上的成功。此處為with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，且hold與邏輯主語(yǔ)78 percent構(gòu)成主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞。故填holding。

【5】

考查名詞。句意：根據(jù)班菲爾德的研究，高管們報(bào)告說(shuō)，他們的寵物幫助他們學(xué)習(xí)責(zé)任、創(chuàng)造力、同情心和組織能力，這些在商界都是無(wú)價(jià)的。結(jié)合下文creativity, sympathy and organization（創(chuàng)造力，同情和組織）可知應(yīng)填名詞responsibility，表示“責(zé)任”。故填responsibility。

【6】

考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意同上。本句為非限制性定語(yǔ)從句修飾上文整個(gè)句子，且從句中缺少主語(yǔ)，that不能引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，故應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞which。故填which。

【7】

考查介詞。句意：布萊恩加里什在班菲爾德寵物醫(yī)院網(wǎng)站的一份聲明中說(shuō)：在班菲爾德寵物醫(yī)院，我們?cè)缇驼J(rèn)識(shí)到人們和寵物之間的特殊紐帶，以及寵物對(duì)我們社會(huì)的積極影響。結(jié)合句意表示“對(duì)……有影響”短語(yǔ)為have an impact on/upon…。故填on/upon。

【8】

考查名詞的數(shù)。way為可數(shù)名詞，根據(jù)上文From the pet ownership lessons we learned as children中lesson為復(fù)數(shù)形式，可知此處也應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填ways。

【9】

考查連接詞。句意：我們最新的研究支持了我們一直以來(lái)的觀點(diǎn)，即寵物和它們幫助我們塑造人類形象的能力之間可能存在聯(lián)系。本句為同位語(yǔ)從句，從句中不缺少成分，故應(yīng)用that。故填that。

【10】

考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知help在句中應(yīng)用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，且此處修飾名詞ability應(yīng)用不定式，表示“有做某事的能力”短語(yǔ)為ability to do sth.。故填to help。
