Did you 36 it because you thought that it was just a little thought? Have you ever 37 what that little thought would have bee if you had acted on your instincts (直觉) 38 if you had paid more attention to it?Imagine a scene, 39 you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light is 40 on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought 41 your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted to 42 it, but wait a minute! That thought could be the potential beginning of the 43 you have so much wished for. As the thought crosses your mind, your senses bee alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a solution, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has 44 escaped you. It is almost as if a wise man has 45 the perfect solution into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality, thereby bringing light to your life. It is like finding the 46 piece of jigsaw puzzle. This bees an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that 47 but powerful thought.Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you bee 48 of the great possibilities that can 49 if that little thought is acted upon. This bees the moment to build upon that thought and to put 50 any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. 51 meaningless little thought or ideas when acted upon have a 52 to explode into great projects. Many successful projects have been 53 from the little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as bricks to great things.Dont waste a(n) 54 to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You dont have to wait for a major idea, or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought.That little thought or idea is the 55 of great things if you decide to follow it through.36.

British director Steve McQueens brave portrayal of pre-Civil War American slavery won two other Oscars, including best supporting actress for newer Lupita Nyongo and best adapted screenplay based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free man tricked and sold into slavery in Louisiana. “Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live. This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup,” said McQueen in his acceptance speech.“12 Years a Slave” was better over space thriller “Gravity” from Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, which nevertheless got the most Oscars of the night with seven, including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director.The film starring Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost in space swept the technical awards like visual effects and cinematography, a reward for its groundbreaking work on conveying space and weightlessness. Referring to the “transformative” experience he and others undertook in the four-plus years spent making “Gravity”, Cuaron, whose hair is graying, said, “For a lot of these people, that transformation was wisdom. For me, it was just the color of my hair.” In one of the strongest years for film in recent memory, the 6,000-plus voters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences scattered golden Oscar statuettes among the many acclaimed movies in contention.It was a good night for the scrappy, low-budget film “Dallas Buyers Club”, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, a biopic of an early AIDS activist two decades in the making that won three Oscars, including the two male acting awards.Matthew McConaughey, in a validation of a remarkable career turnaround, won best actor for his portrayal of the homophobe who turned AIDS victim and then turned treatment crusader Ron Woodroof, a role for which he lost 50 pounds (23 kg). His co-star, Jared Leto, won best supporting actor for his role as Woodroofs unlikely business partner, the transgender woman Rayon, for which he also slimmed down drastically.Australias Cate Blanchett won the best actress Oscar for her acclaimed role as the socialite unhinged by her husbands financial crimes in Woody Allens “Blue Jasmine.” “As random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women,” said Blanchett, who beat out previous Oscar winners Bullock, Amy Adams, Judi Dench and Meryl Streep.59. The film which won the largest number of Oscar awards this year is _.A. 12 Years a SlaveB. GravityC. Dallas Buyers ClubD. Blue Jasmine60. Which director spent the least money in making the film?A. Steve McQueen.B. Alfonso Cuaron.C. Jean-Marc Vallee.D. Woody Allen.61. How many Oscar best actresses are mentioned in this passage?A. One.B. Three.C. Five.D. Six.62. Which of the following statements is WRONG?A. “12 Years a Slave” won two Oscar awards altogether.B. The director of “Gravity” is from Latin America.C. The character Rayon is played by Jared Leto.D. The woman film star Cate Blanchett es from Oceania.CThe most plex object known to humanity is the human brain and not only is it plex, but it is one of the few natural phenomena that science has no consciousness of. To try to replicate (复制) something that is so poorly understood may therefore seem like pride. But you have to start somewhere, and International Business Machines (IBM) and the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Switzerland, propose to start by replicating “in silico”, one of the brains building blocks.In a partnership announced, the two organizations said they would be working together to build a simulation (模拟) of a structure known as a neo-cortical（新大脑皮质的）column on a type of IBM superputer that is currently used to study the molecular functioning of genes. If that works, they plan to use more powerful puters to link such simulated columns together into something that mimics（模仿) a brain.In a real brain, a neo-cortical column is a cylindrical（圆柱形的）element about a third of a millimeter in diameter and three millimeters long. It is these columns, arranged side by side like the cells of a honeyb, which make up the famous “grey matter” that has bee shorthand for human intelligence. The Blue Gene/L superputer that will be used for the simulation consists of enough independent processors for each to be programmed to mimic an individual nerve cell in a column.The EPFLs contribution to the Blue Brain Project will be to create a digital description of how the columns behave. The database from its Brain Mind Institute will provide the raw material for the simulation. Biologists and puter scientists will then connect the artificial nerve cells up in a way that mimics nature. They will do so by assigning electrical properties（电能）to them, and telling them how to municate with each other and how they should modify their connections with one another depending on their activity.That will be no mean feat. Even a single nerve cell is plicated, not least because each one has about 10,000 connections with others. And nerve cells e in great varietyrelying, for example, on different chemical transmitters to carry messages across those connections. Eventually, however, a digital representation of an entire column Should occur.Assuming that the growth of puting power continues to follow Moores Law, the leader of IBMs side thinks it should be practical to mimic an entire human brain in silico this way in ten to fifteen years. Such an artificial brain would, of course, be a powerful research tool. It would allow neurological experiments that currently take days in a “web lab” to be conducted in seconds. The researchers hope that their simulated brain will reveal the secrets of how certain psychiatric and neurological, disorders develop. But that is probably not the real reason for doing it. The most interesting question, surely, is whether such an artificial brain will be intelligent, or conscious, or both.63. In a real brain, a neo-cortical column _.A. looks like the cells of a honeybB. is a simulation of a structureC. is the famous “grey matter”D. contains a large number of nerve cells64. What does the underlined sentence “That will be no mean feat” in Paragraph 5 indicate?A. It is rather difficult to connect the artificial nerve ceils up.B. The function of chemical transmitters is hard to understand.C. A digital representation of an entire column is time-consuming.D. A single nerve cell is plicated to identify across connections.65. The fundamental purpose of doing the research is probably _.A. to simulate an entire human brain in silicoB. to tell us how some certain disorders emergeC. to discover how the artificial brain would workD. to examine whether Moores Law is still functioning66. What type of writing is this passage?A. A science fictionC. An official documentB. A research report D. A puter advertisementDBen walked quietly. He wanted to surprise the hunter. But then, what would he do?Suddenly he heard a birds wings beating the dry grass. Ben moved quickly toward the sound.He saw a colored head the head of a beautiful bird. The bird did not move until Ben came clo
