Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. However, most people, don’t know the name of the man who invented the television, Philo Farnsworth.
Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo’s mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.
Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo test the machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo said, “There you have it, electric television.”
Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead of building up his television company. After the war, other bigger, richer companies started making televisions.

In recent years, a bigger number of pets are seen as family members and friends, and this also shows in technology, with a great need for different kinds of wearable tech devices (穿戴式科技设备) for pets around the world. Today, we can sometimes see dogs or cats wear something to track (追踪) and monitor (监控) them.
②“People don’t know how much exercise or food their dog needs and that’s where wearable monitoring device comes in.” says CEO of PitPat, Andrew Nowell. Between 2021 and 2022, this UK company of a pet tracking device for dogs sold 39% more of its products to other countries. At the same time, the number of the UK pet jumped by 10% to more than 9 million and a new type of pet owner appeared-the so-called Generation Y. They are happy to buy a wearable tech device, mainly wanting to know how far their pet has gone and what the dog is doing while they are out.
③The wearable tech business mainly consists of small companies. But this may change in the near future. “Many big companies are very interested. Some of them are planning to join in the competition.” said Asaf Dagan, the boss of another wearable-tech-device producer PetPace. Some companies said that the business would be between $2.4 billion and $3.5 billion in the coming years.
④“We need to help people have a better understanding of it.” said Dagan, “We’re sure that more pet parents will know about GPS tracker within a short time with our help. We believe that the value (价值) is there and the need is there. So, we are there.”
⑤Some people believe there are still some problems that companies will soon have to face, like high cost and safety problems. However, the future of the wearable tech device for pets seems pretty exciting.
37.According to the passage, wearable device can ________.
A.protect pets B.track pets C.train pets D.walk pets
38.According to the passage, Asaf is ________ about the future of wearable tech business for pets.
A.worried B.confident C.confused D.crazy
39.We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.fewer pet owners may buy wearable devices for their pets
B.Generation Y care little about what their pets do at home
C.big companies may appear in the wearable tech business
D.more pet parents will know about GPS trackers for their pets
40.Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage?

39.推理判断题。根据文章第三段,提到许多大公司计划加入这个行业,因此可以推断出大公司可能会出现在穿戴式科技设备行业,故选C。
40.篇章结构题。第一段介绍背景,第二段具体说明穿戴式设备的用途和市场需求,第三段讨论行业前景,第四段提到未来的挑战和展望,第五段提到了未来所要面临的问题。选项D的结构图最符合文章的逻辑结构。故选D。

A
Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. However, most people, don’t know the name of the man who invented the television, Philo Farnsworth.
Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo’s mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.
Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo test the machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo said, “There you have it, electric television.”
Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead of building up his television company. After the war, other bigger, richer companies started making televisions. In the end, Philo had to sell his company.
