1.Their experiment __________, Tom and Mary set out to write the report on theresults.

2.The environment affects the way people interact.To examine this conclusion,two researchers"decorated"three rooms:One room was refurnished to look ugly.The second room was intended to look average.The third room was designed to be beautiful.Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces.The resultsindicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way peoplerated the faces.Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition,subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room.Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate.One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors,listed in order of preference,were blue,green,purple,red and yellow.The colors listed from most to least arousing were red,orange,yellow,violet,blue,and green.Lighting also affects behavior.Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood ofintimacy(亲密）that encourages conversation.The bright lights of an office or classroom,on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration,color,lighting,and even music and temperature all influence communication with others,but there is no all-purpose environment.The ideal environmentdepends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations ofthosepresent.The same environmentalfactors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create asereneclimate in which to study for final exams.Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be

13.A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers．"Last week," said he, "my umbrella was stolen from a London Church．As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn't get it back." 　　"How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant. 　　"Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper．The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella．The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No．10 Broad Street．" 　　"Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well．But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of great importance．Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one." The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No, 10 Broad Street．He is well known." This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door．In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number．Many of them had notes, fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.[单选题] The result of the first advertisement was that __.

17.Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings. 　　They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things．Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film．If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward．The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them. 　　Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near．But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories．In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory．When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak．This turns on a light to warn people in the factory．At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward．It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour. 　　Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains.[单选题] Many animals may be trained to do simple jobs if they know __.

18.根据以下资料，回答42-45题。 　　England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across．But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate．People who have never visited England or who have visited only one part of it often makes the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country．Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands．In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant．One result is that when people retire from the job in the north, they often prefer to move down to the south. 　　Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of (is made up of) the counties of Devon and Cornwall, where palm trees, bamboo and many semitropical plants grow well．Flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere．Farmers in the areas gain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier．In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest．This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England's most popular holiday areas.44 In the north of England and the Midland,

20.Passage Two
At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.
For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet.
The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner.
Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented, Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room--a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting.
Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be treated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stabililty and feasibility?That's for you to decide.This passage provides us with
