16、he site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to the Times on all platforms.

However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on“some search engines”, meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number
19、of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by the Times to close what cou

25、 a phrase thats often used to warn peopleespecially childrennot to ask too many questions. 1 In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school. Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into
26、 our lives, and open up new possibilities. 2 For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil(线圈) and a magnet(磁铁) when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasnt clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity availabl

28、it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you?

29、we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. 4 Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them. The finaland perhaps most worryingway in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers
30、. As we increasingly get our news via social media, algorithms find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. 5 Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.

31、ure. B. We are always encouraged to challenge our pre-existing beliefs. C. Yet, its widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective. D. All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with. E. However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, co
32、ming from technology. F. In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits. G. That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明, 在决定学生在学校表现如何方面, 好奇心和智力同样重要。然而, 好奇心目前面临的最大威胁来自科技。因此, 在21世纪培养好奇心的真正关键, 或许是减少对我们这个时
