39、r comes to China, his passport expires should be more than 6 months.BDoes your brain work like a dictionary? A mathematical analysis of the connections among definitions of English words has uncovered hidden structures that man resembles the way words and their meanings are represented in our minds.

40、“We want to know how the mental vocabulary is represented in the brain,” says Stevan Harnad of the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada.As every word in a dictionary is defined (下定义) in terms of others, the knowledge needed to understand the entire vocabulary is there. Harnads team reasoned that

41、 finding this smallest set of words and pinning down its structure might help research on how human brains put language together.The team converted each of four different English dictionaries into a mathematical structure of linked nodes (节点) known as a graph. Each node in this graph represents a wo

42、rd, which is linked to the other words used to define it so “banana” might be connected to “long”, “bendy”, “yellow”, and “fruit”.But even this tiny set is not the smallest number of words you need to produce the whole dictionary, as many of these words can in turn be fully defined by others in the

43、kernel (核心). Whats more, the kernel has a deeper structure.So what, if anything, can this tell us about how our brains represent words and concepts? To find out the answer, Harnads team looked at data on how children acquire words and found a pattern: as you move in from the full dictionary towards

44、the Kernel, words which have been acquired at a younger age tend to be used more often, and refer to more concrete concepts.But the connection does suggest that our brains may structure language somewhat similarly to a dictionary.Phil Blunsom, at University of Oxford isnt convinced that word meaning

45、s can be reduced to a chain of definitions. “Its treating words in such a symbolic fashion that they are going to lose a lot of the meaning.” But Mark Pagel of the University of Reading, UK, expects the approach to new insights. “This will be most useful in giving us a sense of how our minds structu

46、re meaning.” he says.53. The first paragraph serves as in the passage.A. a comparison between human brain and a dictionaryB. an introduction to whether your brain works like a dictionaryC. a conclusion that your brain is just like a dictionaryD. a contradiction that your brain is just like a diction

47、ary54. What does the underlined phrase “pinning down” in Paragraph 3 mean here?A. determining exactlyB. fixing firmlyC. explaining simplyD. putting formally55. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Children acquire words and form patterns more easily than adults.B. Ma

48、ny of the words can in turn be fully defined by using its similar words.C. Harnads findings may explain how human brains put language together.D. Our brains may structure language exactly similarly to a dictionary.CWhat if one day Facebook, Twitter and Instant Messenger just werent there?Provost Eri

49、c Darr of Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Pennsylvania tells NPRs (National Public Radio) Guy Raz that he wanted his students to not only think about this question, but live it.“Often there are behaviors, habits, ways we use technology that we may ourselves not even be able to exp

50、ress clearly because were not aware of them,” Darr says.So this week, Darr will enforce (强制执行) a campus-wide social media blackout no Facebook, no Twitter, no instant messaging nothing.Social Media ExileAccess to these popular social media tools will be blocked from campus computers through the week

51、. This is not a disciplinary (纪律上的) exercise, Darr says, but an academic one. At the end of the week, students will write reflective essays about their time without social media.Three Harrisburg University students, Ashley Harris, Gio Acosta and Oluyemi Afuape, volunteered to discuss the experiment,

52、 and it turns out they have mixed feelings.Afuape isnt a big fan of Facebook, and says he doesnt expect to be challenged by the blackout. But Harris is going to have a hard time not posting her whereabouts to friends.“My biggest problem is not being able to find people, Harris says, “because I use F

53、acebook and Twitter to find people at school, to see where theyre at.”Even before hearing about the blackout, Acosta found it necessary to cut himself off the constant social media chatter.“I had my phone set to receive Facebook, texts, tweets and ring so I had to turn that off between 3 and 6 in th

54、e morning so I can actually sleep during that time” Acosta says. “If you dont set the limits, its a 24-hour thing.”Hope From The Post-Facebook GenerationOutspoken social media critic Jaron Lanier (who was also named one of Time magazines 100 most influential people of the year) says Harrisburg Unive

55、rsitys experiment may be too extreme. He would prefer that students donate a penny to charity every time they access social media.“Because that would create awareness, they would be aware of how much they were doing,” Lanier says, “making the use of it into something thats more conscious and more co

56、nsidered.”Lanier is mainly worried that social media creates superficial ties rather than lasting friendship. But he says hes optimistic about the “post-Facebook generation” teenagers he hears from in high schools who dont identify with Facebook.Lanier hopes this generation will spark something of a

57、 renaissance (新生), declaring, “No, we are individuals; we invent ourselves; were not going to have some third-party advertising business define us. We invent our own taste, and furthermore, we decide what friendship means.”56. What do the underlined words “live it” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A

58、. Making a living without the Internet.B. Leading a life without social media.C. Experiencing the popularity of social media.D. Being aware of the importance of technology.57. What do we know about the cutoff experiment?A. The experiment lasted a week and was very successful.B. Only three students p

59、articipated in the experiment.C. The participants had terrible feelings toward the cutoff.D. The experiment had something to do with students schoolwork.58. What is Laniers opinion about the experiment?A. The university should do the experiment in a more moderate way.B. The experiment should include

60、 the “post-Facebook generation”.C. Students should donate some money to the experiment.D. The experiment can make the students more conscious and considered.59. Whats the passage mainly about?A. The disadvantages of social media.B. Some peoples views on social media.C. A universitys experiment on so

61、cial media.D. Challenges to the “post-Facebook generation”.DOne evening at a busy Broadway intersection, I noticed a sister struggling to keep her little kid in check while she talked on the pay phone. She wanted him to stay still next to her, but he wanted to run and play at the curb, close to rush

62、ing buses and taxis. One could sense the womans frustration, that she was pulled in too many directions: She was angry at the person on the telephone and shouting at the younger that she would “snap his leg” if he moved again. As I waited for the traffic light to change, the child began to complain

63、and struggle to free himself from the womans grip. She dropped the phone, seized the neck of his tiny T-shirt and gave him a back-hand blow across the face that I know made his little head spin.The light changed, and passersby continued on their way. But I stood there, fixed to the pavement. I knew

64、this extremely upset woman would follow through on her threat of violence to the child. Before, I had wanted to approach her and offer to watch the youngster while she dealt with the distressing situation on the phone. Now I wanted to comfort the little boy. I also wanted to speak to the sister to c

65、alm her and to caution her, as I wish someone had cautioned me when I was passing my pain on to my daughter and causing her emotional suffering. But I was chicken. I thought, she may think Im out of line, or I may be her next target.Often Ive thought about that child and the many others abused by ad

66、ults. I wonder how they will internalize (使藏在心底) their pain, if it will crush their spirits. Will this little boy grow up to be an abusive man? Will he be gloomy and withdrawn? Will he find it hard to communicate with women, with other men? Or will he survive and be sensitive, caring and determined

67、not to continue the cycle?There is too much cruelty in the world, too much cruelty between people. I tremble at the increasing verbal bitterness and violence among Black girls, and among young mothers trying to discipline their children. This behavior isnt class- or age- related: I hear sharp words

68、from Black women from all walks of life who are overworked and stressed out and have grown impatient. At times I, too, become short with others, or, like the sister on the phone, strike out at those closest to me.Often were tired because weve made the wrong choices. Young girls who still need mother

69、ing are loaded with children. We, sisters easily get hurt and annoyed when we dont come to terms with our own sense of self. Our personal fulfillment requires knowing what is best for us, setting oar boundaries and keeping them undamaged. We will always be asked to do more than we are comfortable do

70、ing. When we know our boundaries, we can decline comfortably. People and we ourselves will act in ways we dont like. But they, like us,are still worthy of love.Whatever irritates (激怒) us about a person should be examined. Is the person reflecting behavior in us that needs to be changed? Often, when

71、I find people irritating, I find they mirror something about me that I need to correct.Whats needed in our personal relationships is a return to tenderness and tolerance. We must allow one another our learning experiences. Just as violence results to violence, verbal violence the hard words and hars

72、h tones we use to release inner stress adds to the distance between us.What we people of African root must do to thrive begins with love, sensitivity and our ability to work together. We Black women have these spiritual resources in abundance. Now we must draw on them to create a peaceful place for

73、ourselves, our children, our men.60. The scene the author described in the passage probably happened .A. in a phone boothB. at a bus stopC. near a taxi standD. on the street61.

Its none of your business.”B. “You are walking in the wrong direction.”C. “Youre not standing in the queue.”D. “You can watch and comfort my kid.”63. The wrong

75、 choices in Paragraph 5 include .a. We sisters refuse to marry young.b. We arent satisfied with ourselves.c. We have our boundaries damaged.d. We decline others requests for help.A. a, bB. b, cC. a, dD. c, d64. According to the author,when we find a person irritating, we should .A. return to tendern

Many of these food additive

80、s have been shown to do harm to our health.In 1958 the government passed the Delaney Clause Food Additives Amendment which prohibited companies from adding known harmful chemicals to our food. But in spite of this, there are still dangerous chemicals that are still being added to our food and it is

81、important to understand which chemicals these are and what the potential dangers are.The only defense we have as consumers is that all packaged food is required to list all the ingredients (配料) on the label. We need to educate ourselves and become familiar with the harmful food additives and read ev
