The importance of interior design becomes (57) when we realize how much time we (58) surrounded by four wails. Whenever we need to be indoors, we want our surroundings to be (59) attractive and comfortable as possible. We also expect (60) place to be appropriate to its use. You would be (61) ff the inside of your bedroom were suddenly changed to look (62) the inside of a restaurant.And you wouldn’t feel (63) in a business office that has the appearance of a school. It soon becomes clear that the interior designer’s most important (64) is the function of the particular (65) . For example, a theater with poor sight lines, poor sound-shaping qualities, and (66) few entries and exits will not work for (67) purpose, no matter how beautifully it might be (68) .

| 第3题：In the past few decades, remarkable findings have been made in ethnology, the study of animal social behavior.Earlier scientists had (61) that nonhuman social life was almost totally instinctive or fixed by genetics. Much more careful observation has shown that (62) variation occurs among the social ties of most species, showing that learning is a part of social life. That is, the (63) are not solely fixed by the genes. (64) , the learning that occurs is often at an early age in a process that is called imprinting. Imprinting is clearly (65) instinctive, but it is not quite like the learning of humans; it is something in between the two.An illustration best (66) the nature of imprinting. Once, biologists thought that ducklings followed the mother duck because of instincts. Now we know that, shortly (67) they hatch, ducklings fix (68) any object about the size of a duck and will henceforth follow it. So ducklings may follow a basketball or a briefcase if these are (69) for the mother duck at the time when imprinting occurs. Thus, social ties can be considerably (70) , even ones that have a considerable base (71) by genetics. Even among the social insects something like imprinting (72) influence social behavior. For example, biologists once thought bees communicated with others purely (73) instinct.But, in examining a "dance" that bees do to indicate the distance and direction of a pollen source, observers found that bees raised in isolation could not communicate effectively.At a higher level, the genetic base seems to be much more for an all-purpose learning rather than the more specific responses of imprinting.Chimpanzees, for instance, generally (74) very good mother but Jane Good all reports that some chimps carry the infant upside down or (75) fail to nurture the young.

It was during the same time that the communications revolution (65) up, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading (66) through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures (67) the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in (68) . It is important to do so. It is generally recognized, (69) , that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century, (70) by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, (71) its impact on the media was not immediately (72) .As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as (73) , with display becoming sharper and storage (74) increasing. They were thought of, like people, (75) generations, with the distance between generations much smaller. It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the context within which we now live. A．on B．out C．over D．off |
