5、t be a few sales, but we can’t 22 demand, said inventor Mitch Altman of San Francisco, U.S. 1 didn’t know there were so many people who wanted to turn TVs off.Hundreds of orders for Altman’s US $14.99 TV-B-Gone device poured in last week. The tiny remote control device had been 23
6、in Wired magazine and other online media outlets. 24 , the unexpected attention overloaded the website of his company. Cornfield Electronics, and caused it to 25 .The keychain device works like a 26 remote control but it only turns TVs on or off. With a push of the button, it goes through a 27 of ab
7、out 200 infrared codes that control the power of about 1,000 television models. Altman said the majority of TVs should 28 within 17 seconds. It takes a little more than a minute for the device to 29 all the trigger codes.The 47-year-old Altman got the idea for TV-B-Gone a decade ago. He was out with
8、 friends at a restaurant and they found themselves all 30 .by the TV, but no one was around to turn it off.21（）A.expectsB.expectationC.expectedD.expecting8.Ties have no practical use at all and most men see them as part of a uniform instead of an independent piece of clothing. But, these small strip
9、s of cloth should not be underestimated, fashion experts say.The shirt, suit or jacket are neutral means of expression. But, the tie gives you the final personal touch, experts suggest.In fact, its color also has psychological im portance. Red, for instance, evokes feelings of warmth and intimacy, a
10、ccording to Axel Venn. He’s a professor of design at the University of Applied Sciences and Art in Germany. It also stands for energy, dynamism and strength.Using shades of color requires understanding and sensitivity. Orange is regarded as a lively color. Blue stands for matter-of-fact, solit
11、ude and coolness. Shiny yellow stirs amusement. Green is the color of nature and harmony.It’s only when the color fits the personal character that it is viewed as authentic.A lively orange with a black suit and white shirt can look great at a private party or in an artistic environment, Venn s
12、ays. In a conservative environment such as in a bank such dress is unsuitable.Imme Vogelsang, a trainer of etiquette in Hamburg, Germany, recommends in business environment how contrasting colors such as wine red, dark green or dark blue.But feminine colors have also become popular. Light green and
13、a fine rose color play an increasing role. Such colors express innovation and sensitivity, Venn says.Also, patterns that stand out can be an interesting eye catcher in a private environment but are unsuitable in business.Stripes and small geometric patterns are more appropriate in business, Vogelsan
14、g says, but stripes should never run vertically or horizontally.With diagonal stripes it is important to look at the direction. They should run from the bottom left to the right top. This symbolizes dynamism. In the opposite direction it shows fear and escapist thoughts.Which of the following is the
15、 best title for the passage()A. TiesImpractical Pieces of Clothing.B. Psychological Importance of TiesC. What The Colors of Ties MeanD. The Colors of Ties and the Occasions to Wear Them.9.Animals are more like us than we ever imagined. They feel pain, they experience stress, and they show affection,
16、 excitement and love. All these finding have been made by scientists in recent yearsand such results are beginning to change how we view animals.Strangely enough, this research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonald’s and KFC. Pressured by animal rights groups, these companies felt
17、 they had to fund scientists researching the emotional and mental states of animals.McDonald’s, for instance, funded studies on pig behaviors at Purdue University, Indiana. This research found that pigs seek affection and easily become depressed if left alone or prevented from playing with eac
18、h other. If they become depressed, they soon become physically ill. Because of this, and other similar studies, the European Union has banned the use of isolating pig stalls from 2012. In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact a day, and to pr
19、ovide them with toys to prevent them from fighting.Other scientists have shown that animals think and behave like humans.Koko, the 300-pound gorilla (大猩猩)at the Gorilla Foundation in Northern California, for instance, has been taught sign language. Koko can now understand several thousand English wo
20、rds, more than many humans who speak English as a second language. On human IQ tests, she scores between 70 and 95.Before such experiments, humans thought language skills were absent from the animal kingdom. Other myths are also being overturned, like the belief that animals lack self-awareness. Stu
21、dies have also shown that animals mourn their dead, and that they play for pleasure.These striking similarities between animal and human behavior have led some to ask a question: If you believe in evolution, how can’t you believe that animals have feelings that human beings haveUntil recently,
22、 scientists believed that animals behaved by instinct and that what appeared to be learned behavior was merely genetically programmed activity. But as Koko the Gorilla shows, this is not the case. In fact, learning is passed from parents to offspring far more often than not in the animal kingdom.So
23、what implications does this knowledge have for humans Because of this, should we ban hunting and animal testing Should we close zoos Such questions are being raised by many academics and politicians. Harvard and 25 other American law schools have introduced courses on animal rights.The author feels
24、it strange that the research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonalds and KFC probably because these companies()A.are the largest fast food chains in the world.B. have little to do with animals.C. consume a large amount of meat each day.D. are notorious for their ill-treatment to animals.
25、10.Musicians are fascinated with the possibility that music may be found in nature; it makes our own desire for art seem all the more essential. Over the past few years no less a bold musical explorer than Peter Gabriel has been getting involved. At the Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia, he has be
26、en making music together with Kanzi, one of the bonobo apes (倭黑猩猩) involved in the long-term language acquisition studies of Sue and Duane Savage-Rumbaugh.I have seen the video of Kanzi picking notes out on a piano-like keyboard, with Gabriel and members of his band playing inside the observation bo
27、oth in the lab. (They did it this way because Kanzi had bitten one of his trainers a few days previouslyinterspecies communication without its dangers.) The scene is beautiful, the ape trying out the new machine and looking thoughtfully pleased with what comes out. He appears to be listening, playin
28、g the right notes. It is tentative but moving, the animal groping for something from the human world but remaining isolated from the rest of the band. It is a touching encounter, and a bold move for a musician whose tune Shock the Monkey many years ago openly condemned the horrors of less sensitive
29、animals experiments than this.What is the scientific value of such a jam session The business of the Research Center is the forging of greater communication between human and animal. Why not try the fertile and mysterious ground of music in addition to the more testable arena of simple language The
30、advantage of hearing music in nature and trying to reach out to nature through music is that, though we don’t fully understand it, we can easily have access to it. We don’t need to explain its working to be touched by it. Two musicians who don’t speak the same language can play tog
31、ether, and we can appreciate the music from human cultures far from our own.Music needs no explanation, but it clearly expresses something deep and important, something humans can’t live without. Finding music in the sounds of birds, whales and other animals makes the farther frontiers of natu
32、re seem that much closer to us.It can be learned from the passage that Peter Gabriel ()A.is a bold expert on animal behaviour.B. wants to find more about natural music.C. is working on animal’s language abilityD. specializing in human-animal cooperation11.In a recent Sunday school in a church
33、in the Northeast, a group of eight-to-ten-year-olds were in deep discussion with their two teachers. When asked to choose which of ten stated possibilities they most feared happening their response was unanimous. All the children most dreaded a divorce between their parents.Later, as the teachers, a
34、 man and a woman in their late thirties, reflected on the lesson, they both agreed they’d been shocked at the response. When they were the same age as their students, they said, the possibility of their parents’ being divorced never entered their heads. Yet in just one generation, childr
35、en seemed to feel much less security in their family ties.Nor is the experience of these two Sunday school teachers an isolated one. Psychiatrists revealed in one recent newspaper investigation that the fears of children definitely do change in different period; and in recent times, divorce has beco
36、me one of the most frequently mentioned anxieties. In one case, for example, a four-year-old insisted that his father rather than his mother walk him to nursery school each day. The reason He said many of his friends had no daddy living at home, and I’m scared that will happen to me.In line wi
37、th such reports, our opinion leaders expressed great concern about the present and future status of the American family. In the poll 33 percent of the responses listed decline in family structure, divorce and other family-oriented concerns as one of the five major problems facing the nation today. A
38、nd 26 percent of the responses included such family difficulties as one of the five major problems for the United States in the next decade.One common concern expressed about the rise in divorces and decline in stability of the family is that the family unit has traditionally been a key factor in tr
39、ansmitting stable cultural and moral values from generation to generation. Various studies have shown that educational and religious institutions often can have only a limited impact on children without strong family support.it is mentioned that in a Sunday school class the children ()A.deeply impre
40、ssed their teachers.B. had an argument with their teachers.C. feared answering their teachers’ question.D. gave the same response to their teachers’ question.12.Faith in medicine runs deep in America. We spend more per person on health care than any other nation. Whether we eat too much
41、or exercise too little, whether we’re turning gray or feeling blue, we look to some pill or procedure to make us better.We assume that devoting ever more dollars to medicine will bring us longer, healthier lives. But there is mounting evidence that each new dollar we devote to the current heal
42、th care system brings small and diminishing returns to public health. Today the United States spends more than $4,500 per person per year on health care. Costa Rica spends less than $ 300. Yet life expectancy at birth is nearly identical in both countries.Despite the highly publicized longevity revo
43、lution, life expectancy among the elderly in the United States is hardly improving. Yes, we are an aging society, but primarily because of falling birthrates. Younger Americans, meanwhile, are far more likely to be disabled than they were 20 years ago. Most affected are people in their thirties, who
44、se disability rates increased by nearly 130 percent, due primarily to overweight.Why has our huge investment in health care left us so unhealthy Partly it is because so many promised miracle cures, from interferon to gene therapies, have proven to be ineffective or even dangerous. Partly it’s
45、because health care dollars are so concentrated on the terminally ill and the very old that even when medical interventions work, the gains to average life expectancy are small. And partly it is because medical errors and adverse reaction to prescription drugs, which cause more deaths than motor veh
46、icle accidents, breast cancer or AIDS. Each year roughly 200,000 seniors suffer fatal or life-threatening adverse drug events due to improper drug or drug interaction.Why don’t Americans live any longer than Costa Ricans Overwhelmingly, it’s because of differences in behaviour. Americans
47、 exercise less, eat more , drive more ,smoke more, and lead more socially isolated lives. Even at its best, modern medicine can do little to promote productive aging, because by the time most people come in contact with it their bodies are already compromised by stress, indulgent habits, environment
48、al dangers and injuries.Americans in general believe that ()A.more money spent on health care may not result in better health.B. health problems caused by bad habits can hardly be solved by medicine.C. higher birthrate can better solve the problem of aging society than medicine.D. medicine may provi
49、de an effective cure for various health problems.13.There is now a new keychain device that lets people turn off most TVs anywhere from airports to restaurants.
