feeling about color. if they sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it.salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings(包装), that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics(化妆品) should never be packed in brown. their discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology (心理学). some of our preferences for colors are clearly psychological.dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on peoples mind. people in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure; red is exciting. pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a close study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.40. the passage tells us that salesmen have _. a. discovered the relationship between color and psychology b. tried out colors on blind people c. found out that color affect sales d. developed a special subject of color psychology41. if people are exposed to (暴露在) pure blue, _. a. their blood pressure rises b. they want to taste blue foods c. they will feel like buying things d. they wont easily feel nervous42. the most effective color in the passage for warning people is _. a. red b. dark blue c. bright yellow d. green43. which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage? a. colors and sales b. colors and feelings c. the blind and colors d. preferences for colorscmegan tarzynski, 17, knows she lives in a world where looks are important, especially for

childrens memorial hospital for laser treatment since she was a child.when she was growing up, her mom, karen miller, had a hard time dealing with the public.id be accused of (指控) beating her and

(克隆) technology and its products accept milk and meat from cloned animals.studies show that more than 60% of americans think animal cloning is immoral (不道德的), and that most people said they wouldnt knowingly eat the products even if the fda are in favor of them. but because the fda would allow cloned meat and milk to be sold without identifying labels (标签), people wouldnt be able to avoid them. officials have repeatedly said that science shows cloned milk and meat are safe for humans. but the fda has never published the complete scientific studies which support that claim.the argument that cloning is safe for animals is not trusted. cloned meat and milk offer no public economic benefits. having cloned cows produce more milk wouldnt reduce milk prices. us farmers produce more milk than we drink. most importantly, this decision to advance animal biotechnology raises ethical issues (伦理问题). techniques used to clone animals will advance the ability to clone humansand create animals with human genes. neither the fda nor animal scientists are qualified (有资格) to tell us whether and when it is ethically acceptable for humans to change the nature of animals. we need a national discussion, including ethicists and religious leaders, to consider the wisdom of cloned animals. given the risk of unintended results, we should deal with it carefully. the president should stop further fda action on cloning and begin a process for a wider discussion.48. the authors attitude towards cloning is _. a. neutral (中立) b. opposed c. positive d. supportive49. in us many people buy cloned foods _. a. to support the new technique b. because fda approved them c. because they cannot tell which is cloned food d. because they cannot read the labels.50. from the text we know that cloning technique _. a. developed well enough to clone human beings b. may cause unexpected bad results to human beings c. will bring more unexpected economic benefits d. is supported by ethicists and religious leaders第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to get out your earwax (耳垢) safely cleaning your ears properly can be tricky. do you use a cotton swab (药棉签)? or does that push
