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

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.

29、anizing a TEDx event, you can create a unique gathering in your community that will unleash(释放) new ideas, inspire and inform.Here, youll find the complete set of rules for organizing a TEDx event, from start to finish. 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. Having attended one or multiple TEDx events or TEDWomen does not qualify you to host an event for more than 100 guests.Naming: TEDx events are na
34、med 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.

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
63、to humans.DWisconsin has long been home to incredibly successful research and innovation thanks to our famous academic research institutions and some of the brightest scientific minds. From discovering how Vitamin D can best be absorbed, to unlocking the potential of stem cells, Wisconsin has pionee
64、red remarkable breakthroughs in science that have improved health, saved lives and created jobs. These scientific breakthroughs have not only led to lifesaving medical technologies but also have fostered(培育) a strong power in Wisconsin economy.Across America, groundbreaking research supported by the
65、 National Institutes of Health (NIH) alone adds millions of dollars to our economy every year. In fact, NIH funding generated an estimated $58 billion in economic output nationwide in 2014. NIH funding spurs economic growth by supporting jobs in research and by generating biomedical innovations that
66、 are turned into new products. NIHsupported innovations also influence improvements in health that can bolster the economy, improve productivity, and reduce illness and disability at home and across the globe. But, budget cuts and inadequate funding for NIH in the past decade have put both medical i
67、nnovation and our next generation of researchers at risk.Today, too many of our talented young scientists are deciding to do something else, or are leaving the country to pursue their research. Simply put, scientific and medical innovation depends on our ability to foster, support and invest in thes
68、e new researchers.That is why I have worked across party lines with Senator Susan Collins of Maine and introduced the Next Generation (NextGen) Researchers Act. Our act builds opportunities for new researchers, helps address the debt burden that young scientists face today, and invests in the future
69、 of research, science, and innovation. This commonsense proposal would create the “Next Generation Researchers Initiative” within the NIH Office of the Director to coordinate(协调) all current and new NIH policies. The legislation(立法) also directs the NIH to consider recommendations from a National Ac
70、ademy of Sciences (NAS) comprehensive study and report on fostering the next generation of researchers.Finally, we must demonstrate a commitment to our future scientists who, like so many of their peers pursuing other fields, are struggling with crushing student loan debt. Our plan would also increa
71、se the amount of loans that can be forgiven through the NIHs loan repayment programs to better account for the current debt load of new scientists. Higher education should be a path to prosperity, not suffocating debt, and this provision not only helps make higher education more affordable, but can
72、help give new researchers a fair shot at pursuing their dreams.The NextGen Researchers Act will help to empower our next generation of researchers from Maine to Wisconsin, and across our country, with the resources they need to continue to lead the world in groundbreaking biomedical research and dev
73、elopment. Im proud to have earned the support of the University of WisconsinMadison, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and many others, for my bipartisan work supporting Wisconsins leadership in science, research and innovation.At a time when Americas young researchers are facing the worst funding i
74、n decades, our best and brightest minds deserve to know that our country stands with them and is committed to building a stronger future.()67. Why does the author talk about Wisconsin in the first paragraph?A. To explain why some brightest scientific minds are rewarded for making contributions.B. To
75、 indicate Wisconsin has made great breakthroughs without the support of NIH.C. To illustrate that Wisconsin takes a lead in scientific breakthroughs and deserves his support.D. To distinguish Wisconsins achievements in science and innovation from the other states.()68. The following are all the ways
76、 of NIH promoting Americas economic growth EXCEPT _A. supporting research jobs B. encouraging medical innovationsC. improving health and productivity D. handling budget cuts()69. According to the passage, the introduction of the NextGen Researchers Act is intended to _A. sing high praise for the wor

80、and naturalistic. This is the first in a series of posts that explore and understand how each of the above forms of intelligence is affected by technologymediated education.Verballinguistic Intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capa

The traditional tools that have been used to efficiently develop verbal/linguistic intelligencetextbook, pencil, and paperare

Technology allows addition of multisensory(多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to help comprehension, thus expan
83、ding the learning ground of language and linguistics.Research into the effect of technology on the development of the language and literacy skills visvis reading activities of children has offered evidence for favorable effects of digitalform books. A study shows that digital reading materials have
84、become common in developing countries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing(加强) the emergent literacy(早期读写能力) among children. Ebooks are also being increasingly used to teach reading among beginners and children with reading difficulties.Technology can be
85、used to improve reading ability in many ways. It can enhance and sustain the interest levels for children by allowing immediate feedback on performance and providing added practice when necessary. Recent research shows that students are able to improve their sight word vocabulary, fluency, and compr

Word processing software promotes not only composition but also editing and revising in ways that streamline the task of writing. Desktop publishing and webbased publishing allow the work to be taken be
87、yond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions.Technology enhanced oral communication is indeed useful in that it allows students from remote locations, or from all over the world to communicate orally through video and audio conferencing tools. For example, stude
88、nts of languages in Australian universities overcome the problem of insufficient contact with native language speakers by using online audio and video tools that allow the development of aural, vocal and visualcognition skills that are important in verbal and linguistic education. Oral group discuss

102、oth表示“二者都”，因此选A。即这对于男女都有好处，而不仅仅是对女性有好处。22.C 解析：考查名词辨析。C项意为“同意进入；入场”与题干前半句中的entry相对应。句意：进入这些项目的竞争是很激烈的，只有中上等级别的人才能有入围的机会。A项意为“雄心；野心”；B项意为“偏爱”；D项意为“能力”。23.A 解析：考查介词短语。as to意为“关于；就而论”，符合句意。句意：关于谁来主持这个项目的问题，经历还没有做出决定。B项意为“紧挨着”；C项意为“因为”；D项意为“根据”。24.C 解析：考查动词时态。根据句意可知，答语的大意是：这是他到目前为止写得最好的一本书。因此C项正确。25.A 解
103、析：考查动词辨析。A项意为“释放；发行”；B项意为“恢复”；C项意为“刷新”；D项意为“回收”。根据句意可知，A项正确，release在这里是指“释放”的意思，即有怒火时找一个安静的地方将怒火释放出来，否则会对自己有害的。26.B 解析：考查名词性从句。what在这里引导名词性从句，作hold back的宾语。另外，what在从句中作从句中动词achieve的宾语，即B项正确。27.D 解析：考查动词。A项意为“鉴别”；B项意为“与相一致；与通信”；C项意为“结合”；D项意为“干涉；妨碍”。根据后半句“greatly affecting your health”可知，D项正确。句意：吸烟和饮酒
104、妨碍身体对氧气的处理机能，对身体有害。28.B 解析：考查连词。根据题干句意可知，后半句表示目的，因此B项正确。句意：我们应该保护环境免受污染，以便我们的后代可以享受到蓝天，过上健康生活。29.C 解析：考查动词短语。A项意为“放出”；B项意为“计算出；锻炼；制定出”；C项意为“引起；出发”；D项意为“扑灭”。根据句意可知C项正确：set off在这里意为“引起”的意思，即引起了国际性的讨论。30.D 解析：考查定语从句。whose作theme的定语，引导一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词summit。31.C 解析：考查非谓语动词。表示“对印象深刻”，要用系表结构，即sb. be impres
105、sed with.，因此可以排除A、B两项；这里的选项应该是作remember的宾语，要用动名词。故C项正确。32.B 解析：考查倒装句和主谓一致。由于介词短语“Between you and your dreams”置于句首，要用倒装句；由于主语是不可数名词work，所以排除A、D两项；又由于表示客观情况，所以用一般现在时，即B项正确。33.C 解析：考查虚拟语气。根据句意可知，这是表示与将来的事实相反的假设，因此从句用“would+动词原形”。所以选C。34.A 解析：考查形容词辨析。A项意为“以前的”；B项意为“好奇的”；C项意为“明显的”；D项意为“好笑的”。句意：从以前的错误中学习经
106、验教训可以帮助我们保持清醒，避免再犯同样的错误。根据句意可知A项正确。35.C 解析：考查交际用语。A项意为“发生什么事了”；B项意为“怎么会那样”；C项意为“谁不这样啊”；D项意为“为什么不”。根据题意可知，A项正确，即谁家不吵架啊，我们偶尔也会吵架的。完形填空【文章大意】 这是一篇夹叙夹议类文章。作者从五岁时与一个店里的猫头鹰比赛吃棒棒糖开始，便形成了一个“人生信条”：别人能做到的，自己也一定能做到。但是后来通过竞选学校社团主席的经历，作者深深地认识到，不应该与别人攀比，最关键的是自己要树立目标。36.C 解析：根据第一句话可知，作者当时想知道到底需要舔多少下才能舔到棒棒糖中心。因此选C。
107、37.A 解析：A项意为“诱惑”；B项意为“外貌；外表”；C项意为“力量”；D项意为“发现”。即想要舔到棒棒糖中心的这件事的诱惑实在是很大。38.D 解析：bit为动词bite的过去式，意为“咬”，即舔食棒棒糖的动作。39.C 解析：句意：“我”已经知道答案了，吃到中心需要三口，因为店里的猫头鹰便是三口可以吃到中心，“我”也一定要是吃三口。因此选C。40.B 解析：B项在这里的意思是“正确的”，即猫头鹰三口吃到中心，这便是正确答案。A项意为“简洁的”；C项意为“随意的”；D项意为“临时的”。41.C 解析：A项意为“商业；商业的”；B项意为“计划”；C项意为“哲学；哲理；人生观”；D项意为“风
108、俗”。句意：到了高中阶段，“我”还是坚持棒棒糖哲理（即别人能做到多么好，“我”就能做到多么好）。42.A 解析：根据下文53小题后面的program可知，A项符合语境。即“我”在学校加入一个项目。43.A 解析：句意：这时候主席职位变成了棒棒糖中心，即成为“我”自己追求的目标了。44.C 解析：根据上文可知，作者小时候吃棒棒糖时，是怀着与店里的猫头鹰竞赛的心理的。因此这里选择owl这个词，代指自己的竞争对手，符合语境。45.D 解析：land在这里指“得到工作、职位等”，符合语境，即Eric得到了主席的职位。46.B 解析：句意：如果Eric能努力一次便实现目标，那么“我”也可以。所以B项与上
109、下文语境相符。47.A 解析：根据本题前面的转折连词but可知，A项符合语境，即“我”参加选拔赛，结果失败了。48.D 解析：D项表示“也”，符合语境，即另外一个竞争对手也得到了主席的职位。49.B 解析：根据上下文语境可知B项正确，即“我”又没有取得成功。50.C 解析：C项意为“经历”，符合语境，即遇到这样两个竞争对手以后。A项意为“影响”；B项意为“吓跑”；D项意为“处理；对付”。51.A 解析：A项意为“买得起；能做”；B项意为“抓住；坚持”；C项意为“承认”；D项意为“期望”。根据上下文语境可知，A项正确：afford在这里指“能做”，即他们能做的“我”也能做。52.C 解析：las
110、t在这里意为“最后”，即这是“我”可以参加主席职位竞选的最后一年。53.C 解析：根据后面半一句话“but on second thoughts, I decided to continue”可知，C项符合语境，即“我”本打算退出竞选的，但是在仔细思考之后“我”决定继续参加。54.B 解析：A项意为“激励”；B项意为“使困扰”；C项意为“吸引”；D项意为“指导”。根据题意可知B项正确，即“我”最终找到了困扰“我”多年的问题的答案。55.D 解析：句意：吃到中心真正需要的次数其实取决于自己想要几次成功，而不是取决于他人的次数。即一个人的成功是在于自己努力的程度，不能看别人到底要做多久。阅读理解A
111、【文章大意】 这是一篇广告信息类阅读理解题，介绍了一个名为TEDx的会议的有关要求，尤其是对申请主办者的要求进行了介绍。56.D 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句话“TEDx events are named after locations, such as cities, neighborhoods, streets etc., and aim to serve that named community.”可知，项目必须要以相应的地名命名。因此选D。57.C 解析：细节判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句话“Only individuals who have attended an offici
112、al TED conference may organize an event with more than 100 attendees.”可知，只有参加过官方活动的人，才有资格组织超过100人的活动。因此选C。B【文章大意】 文章介绍了现在很流行的一种网络服务（云存储）的有关情况。文章告诉我们，由于运存储的问世，传统的硬盘等硬件存储设备受到了很大的影响，比如Dell和EMC两个著名公司因此而合并。当然所有事情都有两面性，云存储也是有利有弊的。58.A 解析：推理判断题。第二段告诉我们，云存储对传统的电脑等存储装备影响很大。而这一段的例子正是为了说明这一点，其中第二句话“the old gua
113、rd is suffering”的意思便是，老公司已经不行了。这也是对答案的直接提示。59.B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段23句话“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.”可直接得出答案。60.C 解析：推理判断题。lockin这个词首次出现在第四
114、段，根据第五段倒数最后一句话“If a cloud provider goes bust, its customers may have trouble getting back their data.”可知，一旦云存储系统崩溃的话，客户将很难找回他们的资料。由此可知C项与之意义相近。61.B 解析：推理判断题。由倒数第二段最后一句话中的“common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers demands”可知，客户的需求在设定标准方面起着很大的作用。因此B项正确。62.D 解析：文章主旨题。A项意为“机不可失
115、失不再来”；B项意为“这山望着那山高”；C项意为“蜡烛照亮别人燃烧自己”；D项意为“有白也有黑，有甜也有苦”。根据文章内容可知，本文既介绍了云存储的好处，也说明了云存储的坏处。所以D项符合语境。C【文章大意】 这是一篇科普说明文，文章告诉我们，大脑愿意冒险的程度可以通过光脉冲来控制。63.D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句话可知，人愿意冒险的程度的不同，是由大脑中叫做伏核（nucleus accumbens）的细胞决定的，而大脑这部分要释放多巴胺（dopamine），多巴胺是控制大脑的喜好的。所以D项正确。64.C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第一句话中的“which blocks sp
116、ecific dopamine receptors(DR2)(受体) leads to increased gambling(赌博) behaviour and risktaking behaviour”可知C项正确。65.B 解析：词义猜测题。根据划线单词后面半句话“stimulating the same cells had little to no effect”可知，划线部分应该指的是“不愿意冒险”，因为刺激同样的那些细胞没有什么作用。66.D 解析：推理判断题。最后两句话的大意是：冒险行为是很有价值的，如果没有这种精神，作为一个地球上的生物种类，我们就不能够存活至今了。由此可知D项正
117、确。D【文章大意】 美国应该花钱和精力去培养那些有资质的科学家，而不是让他们负债而无心进行研究。67.C 解析：段落大意题。第一段第二句话后半句“Wisconsin has pioneered remarkable breakthroughs in science that have improved health, saved lives and created jobs”可知，C项正确，其中pioneer与C项中take a lead in同义，是对答案的直接提示。68.D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段可知，A、B、C三项都是促进经济增长的途径，只有D项未提及。69.B 解析：由第四段第二
118、句话“Our act builds opportunities for new researchers, helps address the debt burden that young scientists face today, and invests in the future of research, science, and innovation.”可知，这个法案的目的在于帮助、支持那些致力于医药创新研究的年轻的研究者们。因此选B。70.A 解析：文章标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要是呼吁有关方面要加大对年轻一代研究者们的投资和关心。所以A项作为标题最贴切。任务型阅读71. rangi

The Pew research said Asians and Africans are the most optimistic people about their futures.Money was a big factor driving happiness, but it was not the most important according to the Pew organization. The majority of those asked thought good health, quality education for their children and safety from crime were more important than wealth.LM
