However, the U.S. Patent Office has issued over 7.5 mil
11、lion patents, and not all of them are quite so celebrated. Some good, some bad, and some crazy! The following lists some of the more unusual ideas that have come along.Snake LeashIn 2002, a patent was issued for a snake-walking leash. There are at least two major problems with this idea. 1) Dog leas
12、hes fit securely between the head and shoulders. A snake does not have shoulders; so it might slither away. 2) Dogs are OK for public places because they are social animals, and people like them. Snakes are not OK for public places because they are not social, and some people are terrified of them.S
13、tadium HelmetAmericans are known for our love of sports. Unfortunately, good tickets to games are expensive, so some fans have to sit in the backward sections. This invention, patented in 2000, is designed for these fans. Featuring a built-in radio, binoculars(望远镜) , a cooling fan, and a helmet for
14、falling litter, this design transforms the stadium experience.Bacon Alarm ClockWhen you think about it, waking to the dreadful, blaring noise of an alarm clock is a terrible way to start the day. However, this clock could change that. You simply put a piece of frozen bacon in the alarm clock, set th
15、e alarm, and go to sleep. The clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering smell of bacon the next morning, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of mom cooking breakfast. Who said theres no time to eat breakfast?Toilet LockIn 1969, a patent was issued for a really bad idea the to
16、ilet seat lock. First of all, fishing for your keys when you have to go seems very unpleasant. Then there is the possibility of losing the key altogether. What about guests? Just think that you would have to ask permission for the bathroom. Of course, there is the ultimate question: Why would you lo

Snake Leash. D. Bacon Alarm Clock.BAs you bite down a delicious piece of fish, you probably dont think about
19、 what the fish itself atebut perhaps you should. More than 50 species of fish have been found to eat plastic trash at sea. This is bad news, not only for fish but also for humans who rely on fish for food.Fish dont usually die as a direct result of feeding on the large quantities of plastic trash fl
20、oating in the oceans. But that doesnt mean its not harmful for them. Some negative effects that scientists have discovered when fish eat plastic include reduced activity rates and weakened schooling behavior, as well as compromised liver function. This is troubling because people eat fish that have
21、eaten plastic. Numerous species have been sold for human consumption, including mackerel, striped bass and sturgeon in their stomachs.It is well known that plastic trash causes a serious threat to sea animals, but we are still trying to understand why animals eat it. Typically, research has conclude
22、d that sea animals visually mistake plastic for food. While this may be true, the full story is probably more complex. For example, in a recent study, we showed that plastic trash may smell attractive to sea organisms. That study focused on seabirds, but now my co-authors and I have found that plast
23、ic trash has a similar effect on anchovies(凤尾鱼).When we started the experiment, we did not know whether adult anchovies used their sense of smell to find food at all, let alone whether smell might lead them to eat plastic. To test our hypothesis that it would, we put krill（鳞虾）or plastic trash and cl
24、ean plastic in seawater for several hours. We then filtered our krill and plastic “tea”, presented it to the anchovy schools, and observed their behavior. When we put seawater scented with krill into the tank, the anchovies responded as if they were searching for food. When we presented them with se
25、awater scented with smells of plastic trash, the schools responded in nearly the same way, moving as if they were searching for food.This research confirms two things. First, we showed that northern anchovies use smells to locate food. This study also suggests that our consume-and-dispose culture is
26、 coming back to upset us via the fish we eat.In fact, everyone can do something right now about ocean-plastic pollution by avoiding single-use plastic items and recycling plastic upon disposal. There is more work to be done.24.For , the news that many species of fish have been found to eat plastic t
27、rash at sea is not good. A.people who live on fishB.people who live by fishing C.people who study sea animalsD.people who dont keep fish for food25.What does the underlined word mean?A.findingsB.guessesC.theoriesD.opinions26.Which of the following is NOT true?

28、ating plastic trash.B.Plastic trash poses a serious threat to sea animals at present.C.The researchers didnt know that smell would lead anchovies to eat plastic at first.D.The study in the passage proves that northern anchovies use sounds to find food.27.Whats the purpose of the author writing the l
29、ast paragraph? A.To make a conclusion. B.To make a plan for people fishing. C.To stress that their points are right. D.To call on people to protect the environment.COn any given weekend, the Washington, D.C., public library system offers nearly a dozen classes. You can try Matt Mcentees class, where
30、 hell teach you how to fix anything from a clock to a broken heart in person.I decided to check out a small class early one morning. Its called Homebuying 101. Today, there are about 10 adults ranging in age from their mid-20s to early 50sfinding their seats. In the second row, Whenna Andrews, 28, a
31、lready has her notebook out.I ask Andrews why she came to a class at the library, instead of learning how to buy a home online. “This is going to be my first time buying a home and I have a lot of questions,” Andrews answers. “I feel like if Im reading by myself online I can get lost in the informat
32、ion.”Andrews decision to learn in a traditional classroom is still the preferred choice for adults, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center.Pew looked at nearly 3,000 people, aged 18 and older. Pew wanted to know how, and where, adults learn, after they leave their formal schooling.“Lear
33、ning is still very much a place-based thing,” says Pew researcher John Horrigan. “TheInternet plays a role, but its secondary in most respects.”For the 74 percent of adults who considered themselves to be personal learners, only a third turned to the Internet for most or all of their learning.The st
34、udy also found differences when it comes to education and income level. For those with a bachelors degree, technology is helping. But for those with just a high school diploma, its not playing as big a role. The study even found that many werent aware of online resources like lots of open online cou
35、rses or learning tools like Khan Academy.Whenna Andrews knows about those thingsshe even found the homebuyers class on Facebook. But she prefers learning in person.28.Whatcan we learn aboutMattMcentee? A.He only teaches online classes.B.He is a science teacher. C.He knows how to break peoples heart.

38、t, not an art critic. But he has spent a lot of time on Emanuel Leutzes famous painting “George Washington Crossing the Delaware,” which describes a boatload of colonial American soldiers making their way to attack English the day after Christmas in 1776. “Most people think these other guys in the b
39、oat are rowing, but they are actually pushing the ice away,” says Curry, tapping his finger on the painting. Sure enough, the lead sailor is breaking the frozen river with his boot. “I grew up in the Philadelphia. The place in this painting is 30 minutes away by car. I can tell you, this kind of thi
40、ng just doesnt happen anymore.”But it may again soon. And ice-choked scenes may also return to Europe. The 16th-century painter Pieters works, including the 1565 masterpiece “Hunters in the Snow,” make the now-temperate European landscapes look more like Lapland. Such frigid settings were commonplac
41、e during a period dating roughly from 1300 to 1850 because much of North America and Europe was in the pain of a little ice age. And now there is increasing evidence that the cold could return. A growing number of scientists believe conditions are right for another lasted cooldown, or small ice age.
42、 While no one is predicting an ice sheet like the one that covered the Northern Hemisphere with glaciers about 12,000 years ago, the next cooling trend could drop average temperatures 5 degrees over much of the United States and 10 degrees in the Northeast, northern Europe, and northern Asia.Politic
43、al changes since the last ice age could make survival far more difficult for the worlds poor. During previous cooling periods, these people simply picked up and moved south, but that doesnt work in the modern world of closed borders. “To the extent the climate change may cause rapid and extensive ch
