And it is selling faster than 21 . "1 thought there would just 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.

With a push of the button, it goes through a 27 of about 200 infrared codes that control the power of about1,000 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.

They feel pain, they experience stress, and they show affection, excitement and love. All these finding have been made by scientists in recent years——and such results are beginning to change how we view animals.Strangely enough, this research was sponsored by fast **panies like McDonald's and KFC. Pressured by animal rights groups, **panies felt 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 each 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 provide 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 inNorthern 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 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 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 have?"Until recently, 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 tooffspring far more often than not in the animal kingdom.So 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.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN1.The author feels it strange that the research was sponsored by fast **panies like McDonald's and KFC probably because **panies _______.A.are the largest fast food chains in the world.B. havelittle to do with animals.C. consume a large amount of meat each day.D. are notorious for their ill-treatment to animals.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:CSSS_SIMPLE_SIN2.The experiment with Koko showsA. 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 humans.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:BSSS_SIMPLE_SIN3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the studies?A.

But, these small strips 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", according 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, solitude 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 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 how contrasting colors such as wine red, dark green or dark blue.But feminine colors have also become 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 patterns 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 right top. "This symbolizes dynamism. In the opposite direction it shows fear and escapist thoughts.\SSS_SIMPLE_SIN7.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Ties——Impractical Pieces of Clothing.B.

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 been 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 booth in the lab. (They did it this way because Kanzi had bitten one of his trainers a few days previously——**munication without its dangers.) The scene is beautiful, the ape trying out the new machine and looking thoughtfully pleased with **es out. He appears to be listening, playing 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 animals experiments than this.What is the scientific value of such a jam session? The business of the Research Center is the forging of **munication 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 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 together, and we can appreciate the music from human cultures farfrom 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 nature seem that much closer to us.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN13.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 cooperationA B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:BSSS_SIMPLE_SIN14.Kanzi was arranged to stay in a separate place ______.A. to prevent him from attacking the human playersB. so that he would not be disturbed by others.C. because he needed a large room to move around.D. after he had destroyed the others' musical instruments.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ASSS_SIMPLE_SIN15.Kanzi the ape ______.A. was annoyed by the music playing activity.B. demonstrated no unusual talent for music.C. became more obedient when playing music.D. seemed content with what he was producing.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN16.Which of the following words can best describe the advantage of music?A.

Music——The Essence of NatureB. Music——A Better Way to Enjoy Nature .C. Music——A New Frontier for ScientistsD. Music——Beyond National and Cultural BoundaryA B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:CPassage FourIn a recent Sunday school in a church 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 man and a woman in their latethirties, 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, children 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 become one of the most frequently mentioned anxieties. In one case, for example, afour-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 with 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. And 26 percent of the responses included such family difficulties as one of the five major problems for the United States in the next decade.**mon concern expressed about the rise in divorces and declinein stability of the family is that the family unit has traditionally been a key factor in transmitting 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.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN19.it is mentioned that in a Sunday school class the children _______.A. deeply impressed their teachers.B. had an argument with their teachers.C. feared answering their teachers' question.D. gave the same response to their teachers' question.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN20.The two teachers in the Sunday school felt _______.A. responsible for tightening school security.B. no fear of the divorce of their students' parents.C. no threat of broken family ties when they were ten-year-olds.D. shocked at the divorce rates of their students' parents.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:CSSS_SIMPLE_SIN21.The author uses a four-year-old as an example to _______.A. show the anxiety of today's children.B. emphasize the importance of family ties.C. indicate the seriousness of psychological problems.D. reveal the change of children's attitude toward divorce.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ASSS_SIMPLE_SIN22.It is stated that one third of the American population ______.A. consider family-oriented concerns to be a big problem.B. are worried about the future of the United States.C. believe the social situation is getting worse.D. are facing family difficulties.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ASSS_SIMPLE_SIN23.Family has been regarded as a major carrier of ______.A. religious beliefsB. various customsC.social traditions D. cultural and moral values.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN24.It is implied in the passage that ______.A.

We spend more per person on health care than any other nation. Whether we eat too much 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 health 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 nearlyidentical in both countries.Despite the highly publicized "longevity revolution", 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, whose 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," frominterferon to gene therapies, have proven to be ineffective or even dangerous. Partly it's 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 vehicle 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 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 **e in contact with it their bodies are **promised by stress, indulgent habits, environmental dangers and injuries.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN25.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 provide an effective cure for various health problems.A B C D该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SIMPLE_SIN26.Compared with the Americans, Costa Ricans ______.A. have a healthier way of life.B. enjoy a longer life。

Even supermassive black holes are minuscule by cosmic standards. They typically account for less than one percent of their galaxy's mass. Accordingly, astronomers long assumed that supermassive holes, let alone their smaller cousins, would have little effect beyond their immediate neighborhoods. So it has come as a surprise over the past decade that black hole activity is closely intertwined with star formation occurring farther out in the galaxy.8. Which best describes the function of the statement in lines ("So it. . . galaxy") ?(A) It summarizes the points made in the first four lines of the passage.(B) It provides support for the argument asserted in the preceding statement.(C) It introduces a new view of information presented earlier in the passage.(D) It challenges recent scientific findings.(E) It offers examples to support a theory.9.

Georgia, the main character, is a reporter in an otherwise all-male newsroom.Georgia was to be married. It was the week before Christmas, and on the last day of the year she would become Mrs. Joseph Tank. She had told Joe that if they were to be married at all they might as well get it over with this year, and still there was no need of being married any earlier in the year than was necessary. She assured him that she married him simply because she was tired of having paper bags waved before her eyes every where she went and she thought if she were once officially associated with him people would not flaunt his idiosyncrasies at her that way. And then Ernestine, her best friend, approved of getting married, and Ernestine's ideas were usually good. To all of which Joe responded that she certainly had a splendid head to figure it out that way. Joe said that to his mind reasons for doing things weren't very important anyhow; it was doing them that counted.Yesterday had been her last day on the paper. She had felt queer about that thing of taking her last assignment, though it was hard to reach just the proper state, for the last story related to pork-packers, and pork-packing is not a setting favorable to sentimental regrets. It was just like the newspaper business not even to allow one a little sentimental harrowing over one's exodus from it. But the time for gentle melancholy came later on when she was sorting her things at her desk just before leaving, and was wondering what girl would have that old desk—if they cared to risk another girl, and whether the other poor girl would slave through the years she should have been frivolous, only to have some man step in at the end and induce her to surrender the things she had gained through sacrifice and toil.As she wrote a final letter on her typewriter—she did hate letting the old machine go—Georgia did considerable philosophizing about the irony of working for things only to the end of giving them up. She had waded through snowdrifts and been drenched in pouring rains, she had been frozen with the cold and prostrated with the heat, she had been blown about by Chicago wind until it was strange there was any of her left in one piece, she had had front doors—yes, and back doors too—slammed in her face, she had been the butt of the alleged wit of menials and hirelings, she had been patronized by vapid women as the poor girl who must make her living some way, she had been roasted by—but never mind—she had had a beat* or two! And now she was to wind it all up by marrying Joseph Tank, who had made a great deal ofmoney out of the manufacture of paper bags. This from her—who had always believed she would end her days in New York, or perhaps write a realistic novel exposing some mighty evil!* the area regularly covered by a reporter10. Based on information presented in the passage, which best describes what Georgia was "tiredof”?(A) Being forced to earn a living(B) Being leased about Joseph Tank(C) Being considered a hack writer by some of her colleagues(D) Being betrayed by her supposed friends(E) Being the only woman in the newsroom11.The second paragraph suggests that Georgia believes the "proper state" would be one of(A) excitement(B) wistfulness(C) amusement(D) annoyance(E) relief12. In paragraph 2, “poor” most nearly means(A) pitiable(B) indigent(C) inferior(D) humble(E) petty13. Which most resembles the "irony" mentioned in paragraph 3?(A) A worker moving to a distant state to take a job, only to be fired without warning(B) An executive making an important decision, only to regret it later(C) An athlete earning a starting position on a good team, only to quit in midseason(D) A student studying for a major exam, only to learn that it has been postponed(E) A person purchasing an expensive umbrella, only to lose it on the first rainy day14. The description in paragraph 3 (“She . . . two!") primarily serves to(A) suggest that Georgia envied those women who did not have to work(B) imply that Georgia would be unlikely ever to consider working as a reporter again(C) indicate the role that weather plays in the everyday life of a reporter(D) exaggerate Georgia's reluctance to relinquish her job(E) show the adversities Georgia had to overcome as a reporter15. In context, the phrase "This from her" (in paragraph 3) helps to suggest that a(A) specific feeling is quite heartfelt(B) stated viewpoint is highly personal(C) certain decision is out of character(D) particular behavior is extremely upsetting(E) given attitude is unsurprisingQuestions 16-24 are based on the following passage.The following passage is adapted from a book about television and popular culture.Ridiculing television, and warning about its inherent evils, is nothing new. It has been that way since the medium was invented, and television hasn't exactly been lavished with respect as the decades have passed. I suspect, though, that a lot of the fear and loathing directed at television comes out of a time-honored, reflexive overreaction to the dominant medium of the moment. For the past several decades, television has been blamed for corrupting our youth and exciting our adults, distorting reality, and basically being a big, perhaps dangerous, waste of time. Before TV radio and film were accused of the same things. And long before that—in fact, some 2.500 years earlier— philosophers were arguing that poetry and drama should be excluded from any ideal city on much the same grounds.In Book 10 of the Republic, Plato (428-348 B.C.) attacks epic poet Homer (c. 850 B.C.) and the tragedians on several grounds, all of which have a familiar ring. "Their productions are appearances and not realities," he gripes. "Drawing, and in fact all imitation . . . [is] quite removed from the truth." The audience, as well as the art form, troubled Plato, whose remarks are colored by an implied disdain for the popularity of public performances. The "common people," as Plato so charitably calls them, are drawn to "peevish and diverse" characters—such as Odysseus and other heroes in the Iliad and the Odyssey— who (to Plato, anyway) engage in such questionable displays of emotion as "spinning out a long melancholy lamentation" or "disfiguring themselves in grief." To Plato, baring such intimate sorrows is not to be condoned. (Clearly, he would have given thumbs down to the central characters of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Macbeth.) "If you receive the pleasure-seasoned Muse' of song and epic," Plato warns, "pleasure and pain will be kings in your city, instead of law." Finally, Plato sums up his anti-arts argument with the cold, sweeping pronouncement that "poetry is not to be taken seriously."One academic who has studied and written extensively about both Plato and television suggests that Plato, rather than being anti-arts, was merely an elitist. Plato wanted to ban poetry readings and live theater, the argument goes, because, being free and accessible and raucous and extremely popular, they were the mass entertainment of that era. "If, instead of 'tragedy' and 'poetry,' and 'Homer' and 'Aeschylus,'2 you read 'mass entertainment' or 'popular media,' you'll recognize Plato's arguments as the ancestor of all the reasons we have today for being suspicious of television."To wit: poetry, by which Plato means drama, confuses us between appearance and reality. The action it presents is too extreme and violent. Most important, it's a corrupting influence, perverting its audience by bombarding it with inferior characters and vulgar subjects—and constituting, in Plato's own words, "a harm to the mind of its audience."If Plato's Republic had become reality, it would have been a republic with a lot of empty libraries, theaters, and museums—if, indeed, those repositories of the arts would have survived at all. Plato's personal utopia never came to pass—but throughout the centuries, wherever and。

2006年英语text1

2006年英语text1英文回答：In 2006, the English language experienced several notable shifts in usage and grammar. One significant change was the increased use of the present perfect tense to describe past events that still have relevance in the present. For example, instead of saying "I went to the store yesterday," people began saying "I have gone to the store yesterday." This usage emphasizes the ongoing impact of the past event on the present situation.Another trend in 2006 was the growing popularity ofnon-standard grammar in informal settings. This included the use of contractions such as "can't" and "won't" instead of "cannot" and "will not." Additionally, there was an increase in the use of informal language, such as slang and colloquialisms, in written communication. This trend reflected a growing informality in everyday language use.In terms of vocabulary, several new words and phrases emerged in 2006. One notable example was the term "Web2.0," which referred to the second generation of web technologies that emphasized user-generated content and social networking. Other new words included "podcast," "sexting," and "staycation." These terms reflected the evolving technological and social landscape of the time.中文回答：2006 年，英语语言在用法和语法上经历了一些显着的变化。
