18、BPhilo Farnsworth is not a name most people know. But his work changed the way we learn, the way we live, and even the way we think. Philo Farnsworth is responsible for one of the most important inventions of the 20th century: television.Philo Farnsworth was born in America in 1906. He was intereste

19、d in science and technology at an early age. When he was twelve years old, he built an electric motor for his familys washing machine. When he was fourteen, he was already giving a lot of thought to electrons (电子). As he was driving the familys horse-drawn plowing machine, he noticed the evenly spac

20、ed rows of the potato fields. This sight gave him the idea that electrons could scan (扫描) an image one row at a time an idea that was the key to electronic television.By the time he was twenty-one years old, Farnsworth had started his own company and had managed to build the worlds first electronic

21、television. It was a very simple device (设备). But after years of hard work, Farnsworth was able to introduce the kind of television we now use.Farnsworth was a great inventor, but he lived an unhappy life. He had a legal battle with the company, Radio Corporation of America (RCA) over who the real i

22、nventor of the TV was. He won the case, but the government stopped companies from making TVs during the war, so Farnsworth didnt make much money from the invention.When Farnsworth was young, he imagined television as a convenient way for distant audiences to enjoy lectures by famous professors, or e

23、ntertainment by the best symphonies (交响乐 ) and ballets. When he was older, television became much more popular, but he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV. He even told his own son, “Theres nothing on it worthwhile, and were not going to watch it in this household.”24. What can we lear

24、n about Philo Farnsworth?A. He had a strong physical advantage.B. He had strong powers of observation.C. He had a strong interest in journalism.- 5 -D. He had a strong sense of responsibility.25. The underlined sentence showed Farnsworth was legally recognized as _.A. the real founder of RCA B. the

25、real inventor of the TVC. the greatest inventor of his time D. the organizer of the battle with RCA26. The last paragraph mainly tells us that Farnsworth _.A. didnt like to watch TV programs B. couldnt afford to buy a TV setC. couldnt listen to famous lectures D. didnt like what television became27.

26、 What is the best title for the text?A. How did Philo Farnsworth invent television?B. What caused Philo Farnsworth to invent television?C. Philo Farnsworth: the unhappy father of televisionD. Philo Farnsworth: a well-known scientist and inventorCAnimals do amazing things. Birds travel long distances

27、. Whales communicate across vast oceans. Honeybees remember familiar flowers. Crows can turn sticks into tools. Elephants can imitate sounds. Monkeys do simple math. Can animals also warn us if a natural disaster is about to strike?A few days before the Asian tsunami which happened several years ago

28、, a person watched thousands of ants rush away from the beach into the forest. According to other accounts, elephants screamed and ran to higher ground as many as 10 days before the disaster struck. Dogs refused to go outside.Despite decades of research, scientists dont know how to predict earthquak

29、es and tsunamis. Maybe animals can do better. Some people say that animals have a special kind of power for sensing the future. They call it a “sixth sense”, above and beyond the five senses we normally talk about taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing. “The scientific evidence for an animals sixth

30、 sense, however, is slim,” says John Caprio, a neurobiologist at Louisiana State University. “If reports about animals escaping from danger are actually true,” Caprio says, “the animals must be responding to real senses, rather than using some mysterious type of sense.” “When it comes to sensing ear

31、thquakes and tsunamis, feeling the shakes they create in the earth is probably the key,” says Joel Greenspan, a colleague of John, “Animals are always in direct contact with the ground,” Greenspan says. “We dont do that any more. We have shoes and clothes. We pay attention to other people, sights, a

32、nd sounds.” That way, if an animal is standing or lying around, it can sense the footsteps of its enemy coming its way. Perhaps the animals in Asia mistook the earthquake and the tsunami for a monster coming to - 6 -eat them. In response, they ran in the opposite direction and ended up saving themse

33、lves.Even though scientists are far from knowing everything about why animals behave the way they do, most scientists are sure there must be reasonable explanations.28.

34、e elephants ran to higher ground in advance.D. They all rushed away from the beach into the forest.29. Why cant we humans feel as animals do, according to Joel Greenspan?A. We dont lie down until night.B. We dont have the sixth sense.C. We arent in direct contact with the ground .D. We dont believe

36、the best title for the passage?A. Animals, Sense of Danger B. The Amazing Animal WorldC. The Great Effect of Tsunamis D. The Discovery of Sixth SenseDIn a new move, doctors are using feature films in order to encourage their patients to talk more freely about their problems. Supporters of “film ther

37、apy (疗法)” say that discussing characters and plot lines from a proper film can help people to understand their feelings better.One of those using the method is Bernie Wooder, a doctor from Elstree, who charges 45 for a one-hour “film therapy” session. He said, “I was treating a woman who had been ba

38、dly let down in a relationship, and who was experiencing such strong feelings that it was difficult for her to speak about them. I told her that her situation reminded me of On the Waterfront, when Marlon Brandos character realizes his brother is dishonest and he feels a great sense of betrayal (背叛

39、). My patient identified so easily with him that she started to cry. Watching and discussing the film unlocked all the feelings she had buried. Each time she watched and cried, she felt better.”Mr. Wooder admits that film therapy does not work for everyone, but says he - 7 -has used it successfully

40、with about a third of his clients. “Through the films characters, plots and even music, it allows people to face their problems.” He said that Falling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays the part of an unemployed man who is so frustrated (沮丧的 ) that he uses violence, was an example of the dangerous

41、 implications (后果) of not letting anger go. “I used this film with a patient who was very upset because he was holding on to a lot of the anger he felt towards people who had frustrated him,” said Mr. Wooder. “We talked about Michael Douglass character and the disastrous path he takes, and my patien

42、t then realized that he needed to let go of his feelings more regularly so as not to erupt (爆发) like a time bomb.”32. What can we learn about Bernie Wooder?A. He used to be an actor.B.
