And it is sel

22、ling faster than 41 . “I thought there would just be a few sales, but we can't 42 demand,” said inventor Mitch Altman of San Francisco, U.S. “I 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

23、. The tiny remote control device had been 43 in Wired magazine and other online-media outlets. 44 , the unexpected attention overloaded the website of his company, Cornfield Electronics, and caused it to 45. The keychain device works like a 46 remote control-but it only turns TVs on or off. With a p

24、ush of the button, it goes through a 47 of about 200 infrared (紅外線的) codes that control the power of about 1,000 television models. Altman said the majority of TVs should 48 within 17 seconds. It takes a little more than a minute for the device to 49 all the trigger codes. The 47-year-old Altman got

27、mit50. A. haunted B. bothered C. interrupted D. hinderedPART IV READING COMPREHENSION (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)Passage One 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 strips of cloth should not

28、 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 importance. "Red, for instance, evokes feelings of warmth and intimacy", according

29、 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, so

30、litude 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 environmen

31、t," Venn says. "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 low contrasting colors such as wine red, dark green or dark blue. But feminine colors have also bec

32、ome popular. "Light green and 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 pa

33、tterns are more appropriate in business," Vogelsang 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 fight top. "This symbolizes dynamism. In the opposite d

34、irection it shows fear and escapist thoughts."51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Ties-Impractical Pieces of Clothing B. Psychological Importance of Ties C. What The Colors of Ties Mean D. The Colors of Ties and the Occasions to Wear Them52. According to the passage

35、, ties are more important _. A. than shirts, suits or jackets B. in colors than in patterns C. in expressing one's mood than shirts D. in business than on private occasions53. What color of tie should one wear, if he wants to appear energetic? A. Green. B. Orange. C. Shiny yellow. D. Red.54. The

36、 best color for the tie of a judge in a court should be _. A. light green. B. lively orange C. fine rose D. dark blue55. What kind of ties is more suitable on an important business occasion? A. Ties without stripes and geometric patterns. B. Ties with swipes of vertical or horizontal patterns. C. Ti

37、es of no bright colors and obvious patterns. D. Plain ties without any swipes and patterns.56. It is implied in the passage that _. A. ties with stripes from the bottom left to the right top are not popular B. ties with stripes from the bottom right to the left top are not popular C. ties with strip

38、es of vertical or horizontal patterns are popular D. ties of feminine colors are out of fashion nowadaysPassage Two Animals are more like us than we ever imagined. They feel pain, they experience stress, and they show affection, excitement and love. All these findings have been made by scientists in

39、 recent years-and 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 they had to fund scientists researching the emotional and mental state

40、s 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 each other. If they become depressed, they soon become physically ill. Beca

41、use 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 provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting. Other scientists hav

42、e 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 words, more than many humans who speak English as a second language. On

43、 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. Studies have also shown that animals mourn their dead, and that they pl

44、ay 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 have?" Until recently, scientists believed that animals behaved by instinct a

45、nd 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 what implications does this knowledge have for humans?

46、 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.57. The author feels it strange that the research was sponsored by f

47、ast food companies like McDonald's 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 animals58. The experiment with Koko shows _. A.

48、 gorillas' IQ scores are as high as human beings' B. animals are much cleverer than we used to believe C. parent animals can pass learning to their offspring intentionally D. some gorillas are smarter than many humans59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the studies? A. Some an

49、imals have developed language skills. B. Some animals can show their feelings. C. Animals enjoy playing with each other. D. Animals become indifferent when one of them dies.60. By citing the question “If you believe in evolution, how can't you believe that animals have feelings that human beings

50、 have?” the author means _. A. human feelings can trace their origin back to animals B. animal's feelings are as developed as human beings' C. from the point of view of evolution animals should have no feelings D. we cannot believe that animals have feelings that human beings have61. The stu

51、dies urge us to _. A. stop killing animals for food B. ban hunting and animal testing C. close zoos and animal farms D. change our ways to treat animals62. The purpose of this passage is to tell us that _. A. animals are much smarter than we ever imagined B. animal rights should be taught in schools

52、 C. we should show greater respect to animals D. animal rights should be protected worldwidePassage Three In a recent Sunday school class in a church in the Northeast, a group of eight-to ten-year-olds were in a deep discussion with their two teachers. When asked to choose which of ten stated possib

53、ilities they most feared happening their response was unanimous. All the children most dreaded a divorce between their parents. Later, as the teachers, a 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
