They feel pain, they exp

33、erience stress, and they show affection, excitement and love. All these findings have been made by scientists in recent yearsand such results are beginning to change how we view animals. Strangely enough, this research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonalds and KFC. Pressured by animal

34、rights groups, these companies felt they had to fund scientists researching the emotional and mental states of animals. McDonalds, 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 pr

35、evented 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 h

36、uman 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 in Northern California, for instance, has been taught sign language. Koko can now unders

37、tand 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

38、 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 cant you believe that animals have feelings that huma

39、n 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 to offspring far more often tha

40、n 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

41、 on animal rights.（分数：6.00）(1).The author feels it strange that the research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonalds 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.

Animals enjoy playing with each other. D. Animals become indifferent when one of them dies.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.

44、(4).By citing the question “If you believe in evolution, how cant you believe that animals have feelings that human beings have?“ the author means A. human feelings can trace their origin back to animals_. B. animalss feelings are as developed as human beings C. from the point of view of evolution a

A. animals are much smarter than we ever imagined B. animal rights should be taught in schools C. we should show greater respect to animals D. animal rights should be protected worldwide（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Passage Two Ties have no practical use at all a

47、nd most men see them as part of a uniform instead of an independent piece of clothing. 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 f

48、act, its color also has psychological importance. “Red, for instance, evokes feelings of warmth and intimacy“, according to Axel Venn. Hes 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 require

49、s 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. Its 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
