19、 center of a Tootsie Pop(棒棒糖)?The first time I heard this in the Tootsie Pop commercial, 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(外壳

20、) to the very center. Besides, I _39_ knew how many licks it took to get to the centerthree. Thats how many licks it took the owl(猫头鹰) 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

21、licks.In my freshman year, I joined the Model United 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 socalled “owl” was Eric who had luckily _45_ the prestigious(声望高的) Chair position. So, I decided, _46_ Er

22、ic reached the center in only one lick, thats 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

23、again, I did not make a _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

24、second thoughts, 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 many

The rules are nonnegotiable and mandatory(强制的) for all TEDx event organizers bec

30、ause its both 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 singletopic driven.Length: Your event may not exceed

31、 one day in length.Location: TED allocates one locationbased 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 y

32、our 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: Up t

33、o 100 individuals may attend your event. Only individuals who have attended an official TED conference may organize an event with more than 100 attendees.

36、ficial TED conference.D. A woman who has attended numerous TEDx events.BComputer power is moving into the “cloud”networks of data centres that use the Internet to supply all kinds of services, from email and social networks to data storage and analysis.The rise of cloud computing is rapid and causin

37、g huge changes in the tech industry. The old guard is suffering: this weeks $67 billion merger(合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively(分别), was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud. Disruptive(捣乱的) newcomers are blooming: if Amazons cloudcomputing unit we

38、re a standalone 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 often much cheaper. It adds tremendous flexibility: firms that need more computing capacity no lon

39、ger 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. Individual users can reach their emails, files and photos from any device. And cloud services also te

40、nd 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 firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to swi

41、tch to another. In the cloud this “lockin” 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 moved to an alternative provider.Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services, softw

42、are and devices, which is convenient but only for as long as you dont venture(冒险) outside their universe. Being locked in to a provider is risky. Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices. If a cloud provider goes bust(崩溃), its customers may have trouble getting back their data.Thes

43、e 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. That is too heavyhanded, because strict rules will inhibit(阻碍) innovation in what is still a young industry.

44、The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers demandsjust as in personal computers, where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems.In the meantime, a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lockin. Firms tha

45、t 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 precautions, too. Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers (Google does well on

46、this score). Cloud computing promises its users many benefits, but dont mistake it for some sort of digital heaven.()58. The author takes “the merger between Dell and EMC” for example to show _A. the influence of cloud computing on computer and storage device makersB. the miserable sufferings of old

47、 computer companiesC. the rapid development of new computer companiesD. the interaction between old companies and newcomers()59. With wide applications of cloud computing customers can _A. pay less for the older IT systems B. gain more computing capacity quicklyC. know better about defeating the hac

48、kers D. install software within weeks()60. The problem of “lockin” can be dangerous because _A. it should ensure data can easily be moved to another providerB. it can create a network of services connected with devicesC. it may make it difficult for customers to recover their dataD. it will discoura

49、ge an argument about stricter rules()61. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _A. the European politicians advice is perfectB. customers demands play a role in setting standardsC. lockin is caused by firms storing information in their own centresD. Google enables users to provide ser

50、vices and move data()62. Which of the following sayings can 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 eve

51、ry sweet has its sour.CScientists 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 risktaking rats to avoid risk, hinting

52、 the approach could in future be used to treat people with impulse(冲动) control problems.Risktaking is a key part of survival, knowing when to take a chance could pay offsuch as moving to a new area to look for food when pickings are slim.While all animals need an element of risk, the preference towa

53、rds it varies between individuals. Researchers found this variation, which determines how riskaverse 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 brains reward

54、and pleasure centres.Previous studies have shown that in patients with Parkinsons disease, taking medication which blocks specific dopamine receptors (DR2)(受体) leads to increased gambling(赌博) behaviour and risktaking behaviour. In studies with rats, researchers were able to use a technique called op

55、togenetics(光遗传学)which uses light sensitive proteins to change the activity of cellsto 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

56、 a sugar water treat. But the risky choice consistently delivered smaller amounts of sugar water, with theoccasional large pay offessentially encouraging the animals to gamble for a bigger prize. Around twothirds of the animals werent keen on risk, opting for the safe option, but the remaining third

57、 were riskseekers. 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 risktakers to play it safe and opt for the guaranteed but less rewarding option.

58、 Once the lightpulses stopped, the risktakers returned to their gambling strategy.In the riskaverse_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 foun

59、d 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 its valuable. As a species, we wouldnt have come as far as we have without it.”()63. The variation in peoples

60、 preference towards risks is directly regulated by _A. nucleus accumbens B. light sensitive proteinsC. neurons D. dopamine()64. From the experiment with rats, we can conclude that _A. the lack of DR2 cells results in a safe optionB. the levels of DR2 have little to do with their choicesC. the high l

61、evels of DR2 can make animals avoid risksD. 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 risksC. fond of gambling strategy D. afraid of receiving stimulation()66. What can

62、 be inferred from what Professor Karl Deisseroth said?A. Humans and rats differ in their preference for risktaking.B. Too much risktaking can do more harm than good.C. Risktaking can be used to treat people with impulse control problems.D. Risktaking is a means of survival and brings higher returns
