16、soft (34); adjust the lighting to be very bright or very dim; or fill the room with different smells, both good and bad. He had a(n) (35) of several hundred (36) stimuli.

19、old comprehend Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Until very recently, most people assumed that the ability to feel and exhibit emotions was limited to human beings. It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happine

20、ss, sadness, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasnt that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in humans; the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all other animals. However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers a

21、re uncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotions are very obvious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit puppy-dog eyes. The dog knows it

22、has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow. Another relatively clear example of animals emotional behaviour is when they show aggression. In some cases, it doesnt take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, birdsnearly eve

23、ry animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exacting revenge. Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals emotional behaviour. For example,

24、 some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon. Based on the biological and scien

25、tific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capable of feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings, and its time for more people to understand that were all part of one big emotional family. 41. According to the article, which of the following was a general assumption made throughout much of history?
