22、ommercial, I was five years old. I immediately started 36 and counting. After about two hundred licks or so, I stopped. The 37 of the chewy center had proven to be too great, and I 38 my way through the hard shell (外殼) to the very center. Besides, I 39 knew how many licks it took to

23、get to the center—three. That’s how many licks it took the owl (貓頭鷹) in the commercial to get to the center, so that, to me, was the 40 answer. In high school, I held to the Tootsie Pop 41 . To me, the answer was still always three licks. In my freshman year, I joined the Model Unit

24、ed Nations 42 in my school. The Chair position had 43 the center of the Tootsie Pop and my 44 had become various other students. The first so-called “owl” was Eric who had luckily 45 the prestigious (聲望高的) Chair position. So, I decided, 46 Eric reached the center in only one lick

25、, that’s how many licks it should take me. I went to the tryouts with a view to obtaining the position but 47 . At the end of my sophomore (高二) year, a new owl named Iris had 48 achieved the chair position after trying twice. I began working hard again. But then again, I did not make a

26、 49 of it. Now, slightly frustrated after 50 two owls, I found a new owl, Evan. It had taken him three licks to get to the “center”. Three was all I could 51 . It was widely known that senior year was the 52 year to become Chair. I thought about 53 the program, but on second t

27、houghts, I decided to continue. Eleven years later, I visited the official Tootsie Pop website to find the real answer to the question that had 54 me my entire high school life. I finally understood. However many licks it takes to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop depends on however man

33、nt, you can create a unique gathering in your community that will unleash (釋放) new ideas, inspire and inform. Here, you’ll find the complete set of rules for organizing a TEDx event, from start to finish. The rules are non-negotiable and mandatory (強制的) for all TEDx event organizers because it’s bo

34、th our job and yours to maintain the integrity of the TEDx vision. Spirit/purpose: Your event must maintain the spirit of TED itself: focused on the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. TEDx events are not single-topic driven. Length: Your event may not exceed one

35、day in length. Location: TED allocates one location-based license series per applicant; you must live in the city for which you are applying for a license. Your TEDx event must happen in the city for which you received the license. Funds: You may not use your event to make money. You may not use

36、your event to raise funds for charities or other organizations. Admission: Based on approval from TED, you can charge an attendance fee for a TEDx event featuring live speakers. In order to charge an admission fee, you must first submit your proposed ticket price for approval from TED. Attendance

37、: Up to 100 individuals may attend your event. Only individuals who have attended an official TED conference may organize an event with more than 100 attendees. Having attended one or multiple TEDx events or TEDWomen does not qualify you to host an event for more than 100 guests. Naming: TEDx event

38、s are named after locations, such as cities, neighborhoods, streets etc, and aim to serve that named community. Event names must comply with the guidelines laid out in Naming your event. 56. According to the rules, a TEDx event organizer is supposed to ________. A. extend the event to one day

39、 B. host the event in different cities C. focus on one TED topic D. name the event after locations 57. Who is qualified to host a TEDx event for over 100 guests A. An organization which intends to make some money for charities. B. An individual who has subm

40、itted his proposed ticket price. C. A person who has attended an official TED conference. D. A woman who has attended numerous TEDx events. B Computer power is moving into the “cloud”—networks of data centres that use the Internet to supply all kinds of services, from e-mail and social net

41、works to data storage and analysis. The rise of cloud computing is rapid and causing huge changes in the tech industry. The old guard is suffering: this week’s $67 billion merger (合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively (分別), was a marriage forced by the rise

42、 of the cloud. Disruptive (搗亂的) newcomers are blooming: if Amazon’s cloud-computing unit were a stand-alone public company, it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined. The gains for customers have been equally dramatic. Compared with older IT systems, cloud computing is oft

43、en much cheaper. It adds tremendous flexibility: firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software. In the cloud they can get hold of it in minutes. Their applications can be updated continually, rather than just every few months. Indivi

44、dual users can reach their e-mails, files and photos from any device. And cloud services also tend to be more secure, since providers know better than their customers how to protect their computing systems against hackers. But cloud computing makes one problem worse. In the old IT world, once a fir

45、m or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to switch to another. In the cloud this “l(fā)ock-in” is even worse. Cloud providers go to great lengths to make it easy to upload data. They accumulate huge amounts of complex information, which cannot easily be

46、 moved to an alternative provider. Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services, software and devices, which is convenient but only for as long as you don’t venture (冒險) outside their universe. Being locked in to a provider is risky. Firms can start to tighten the screws by increas

47、ing prices. If a cloud provider goes bust (崩潰), its customers may have trouble getting back their data. These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation. Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them.

48、 That is too heavy-handed, because strict rules will inhibit (阻礙) innovation in what is still a young industry. The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers’ demands—just as in personal computers, where it is now much easier to use the sa

49、me files on different systems. In the meantime, a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock-in. Firms that use more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected. So are those that keep their most important information in their own data centres. Consumers can take precaut

50、ions, too. Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers (Google does well on this score). Cloud computing promises its users many benefits, but don’t mistake it for some sort of digital heaven. 58. The author takes “the merger between Dell and EMC” for exam

51、ple to show ________. A. the influence of cloud computing on computer and storage device makers B. the miserable sufferings of old computer companies C. the rapid development of new computer companies D. the interaction between old companies and newcomers 59. With wide applications

52、 of cloud computing customers can ________. A. pay less for the older IT systems B. gain more computing capacity quickly C. know better about defeating the hackers D. install software within weeks 60. The problem of “l(fā)ock-in” can be dangerous because ________. A. it should e

53、nsure data can easily be moved to another provider B. it can create a network of services connected with devices C. it may make it difficult for customers to recover their data D. it will discourage an argument about stricter rules 61. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs th

54、at ________. A. the European politicians’ advice is perfect B. customers’ demands play a role in setting standards C. lock-in is caused by firms’ storing information in their own centres D. Google enables users to provide services and move data 62. Which of the following sayings ca

55、n best express the main idea of the passage A. Everything has its time and that time must be watched. B. The?grass?looks?greener?on?the?other?side?of?the?fence. C. A candle lights others and consumes itself. D. Every white has its black, and every sweet has its sour. C Scientist

56、s have exactly discovered the set of brain cells involved in making risky decisions, and have been able to control them in rats using targeted light. By changing the activity of the cells they were able to change the behaviour of risk-taking rats to avoid risk, hinting the approach could in future b

57、e used to treat people with impulse (沖動) control problems. Risk-taking is a key part of survival, knowing when to take a chance could pay off—such as moving to a new area to look for food when pickings are slim. While all animals need an element of risk, the preference towards it varies between in

58、dividuals. Researchers found this variation, which determines how risk-averse an individual is, is regulated by brain cells in a region of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. This cluster of neurons releases the neurotransmitter dopamine, which regulates the brain’s reward and pleasure centres.

59、 Previous studies have shown that in patients with Parkinson’s disease, taking medication which blocks specific dopamine receptors (DR2) (受體) leads to increased gambling (賭博) behaviour and risk taking behaviour. In studies with rats, researchers were able to use a technique called optogenetics (光遺傳學

60、)—which uses light sensitive proteins to change the activity of cells—to modify cells with DR2 in the nucleus accumbens. Rats were trained to choose one of two levers, offering them a choice between a “safe” or “risky” choice. The safe option resulted in a small, but consistent amount of a sugar wa

61、ter treat. But the risky choice consistently delivered smaller amounts of sugar water, with the occasional large pay off—essentially encouraging the animals to gamble for a bigger prize. Around two-thirds of the animals weren’t keen on risk, opting for the safe option, but the remaining third were r

62、isk-seekers. Brain scans of the animals showed that those with low levels of DR2 consistently went for the gamble. But using pulses of light to stimulate (刺激) the DR2 cells and improve their activity could cause the risk-takers to play it safe and opt for the guaranteed but less rewarding option. O

63、nce the light-pulses stopped, the risk-takers returned to their gambling strategy. In the risk-averse animals, stimulating the same cells had little to no effect. Professor Karl Deisseroth, of Stanford University in California, said: “Humans and rats have similar brain structures involved.”And we

64、found a drug known to increase risk preference in people had the same effect on the rats. So every indication is that these findings are relevant to humans. “Risky behavior has its moments where it’s valuable. As a species, we wouldn’t have come as far as we have without it.” 63. The variation in p

65、eople’s preference towards risks is directly regulated by ________. A. nucleus accumbens B. light sensitive proteins C. neurons D. dopamine 64. From the experiment with rats, we can conclude that ________. A. the lack of DR2 cells results in a safe option B. the levels of DR2

66、 have little to do with their choices C. the high levels of DR2 can make animals avoid risks D. the risky choice is a less rewarding option 65. The underlined words in Paragraph 7 most likely mean the animals that are ________. A. willing to take big risks B. reluctant to take risks C. fond of gambling strategy D. afraid of receiving stimulation 66. What can be inferred from what Professor Karl Deisseroth said A. Humans and rats differ in their preference fo
