43、ces, from e-mail and social networks 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 weeks $67 billion merger (合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively (分别), was a
44、 marriage forced by the rise of the cloud. Disruptive (捣乱的) newcomers are blooming: if Amazons 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 system
45、s, cloud computing is often 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
46、 every few months. Individual 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 o
47、ld IT world, once a firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to switch to another. In the cloud this “lock-in” is even worse. Cloud providers go to great lengths to make it easy to upload data. They accumulate huge amounts of complex information,
48、 which cannot easily be 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 dont venture (冒险) outside their universe. Being locked in to a provider is risky. Firms can start to tighten the
49、 screws by increasing prices. If a cloud provider goes bust (崩溃), 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 mov
50、ed between them. That is too heavy-handed, because strict rules will inhibit (阻碍) innovation in what is still a young industry. 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
51、 to use the same 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
52、take precautions, 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 dont mistake it for some sort of digital heaven. 58. The author takes “the merger between Dell and EMC”
53、 for example 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 newcomers59. With wide applications of cloud computi
54、ng 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 weeks60. The problem of “lock-in” can be dangerous because _. A. it should ensure data can easily be moved to another provider B. it
55、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 that _. A. the European politicians advice is perfect B. customers demand

58、ve 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 be used to treat people with impulse (冲动) control problems.Risk-taking is a key part of surv
59、ival, 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 towards it varies between individuals. Researchers found this variation, which determines how risk-averse an individual is,
60、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 and pleasure centres.Previous studies have shown that in patients with Parkinsons disease, taking medication which bloc
61、ks specific dopamine receptors (DR2) (受体) leads to increased gambling (赌博) behaviour and risk taking behaviour. In studies with rats, researchers were able to use a technique called optogenetics (光遗传学)which uses light sensitive proteins to change the activity of cellsto modify cells with DR2 in the
62、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 water treat. But the risky choice consistently delivered smaller amounts of sugar water, with the occasion
63、al large pay offessentially encouraging the animals to gamble for a bigger prize. Around two-thirds of the animals werent keen on risk, opting for the safe option, but the remaining third were risk-seekers. Brain scans of the animals showed that those with low levels of DR2 consistently went for the
64、 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. Once the light-pulses stopped, the risk-takers returned to their gambling strategy.In the risk-averse animals
65、, 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 found a drug known to increase risk preference in people had the same effect on the rats. So every indication is
66、 that these findings are relevant to humans. “Risky behavior has its moments where it s valuable. As a species, we wouldnt have come as far as we have without it.”63. The variation in peoples preference towards risks is directly regulated by _. A. nucleus accumbens B. light sensitive proteins C. neu
67、rons D. dopamine64. 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 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 option65. The underlin
68、ed 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 strategyD. afraid of receiving stimulation 66. What can be inferred from what Professor Karl Deisseroth said? A. Humans and rats differ in their preference for
69、 risk-taking. B. Too much risk-taking can do more harm than good. C. Risk-taking can be used to treat people with impulse control problems. D. Risk-taking is a means of survival and brings higher returns to humans. 【答案】63.D64.C65.B 66.D【解析】试题分析：科学家发现脑细胞参与决策风险。通过改变细胞的活动，可以避免冒险的行为。但是冒险也使得人类进步。 63.D 细节
