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) 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 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 so-called “owl” was Eric who had luckily 45 the prestigious (声望高的) Chair position. So, I decided, 46 Eric reached the center in only one lick, thats how many licks it should take me. 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 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 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. I finally understood. However many licks it takes to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop depends on however many licks I 55 to takenot how many the other owls take. 36.A. dreaming B. admiring C. lickingD. chewing37.A. temptation B. appearance C. powerD. discovery38.A. fought B. followed C. made D. bit39.A. seldom B. never C. already D. nearly40.A. briefB. right C. random D. temporary41.A. commercial B. plan C. philosophyD. custom42.A. program B. conference C. title D. activity43.A. become B. changed C. determined D. explored44.A. shell B. hope C. owl D. companion45.A. noticed B. shifted C. improved D. landed46.A. unless B. if C. before D. until47.A. failed B. quittedC. survivedD. struggled48.A. yet B. even C. still D. also49.A. promise B. success C. point D. joke50.A. interacting with B. frightening awayC. going through D. dealing with51.A. afford B. hold C. admitD. expect52.A. middle B. gap C. last D. initial53.A. winningB. criticizing C. quitting D. arranging54.A. motivated B. troubledC. attractedD. instructed55.A. learn B. agree C. refuse D. choose【答案】 36.C37.A38.D39.C40.B 41.C42.A43.A44.C45.D46.B47.A48.D49.B50.C51.A52.C53.C54.B55.D【解析】 试题分析：你要舔多少下才能到棒棒糖的中间，我一直认为广告里的猫头鹰舔三下是正确答案，而生活告诉我们用多少下吃到中间得看人们想用多少下，而不是他人。36.

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 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 systems, 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 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 old 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, 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 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 moved 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 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 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” 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 computing 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 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 demands play a role in setting standards C. lock-in is caused by firms storing information in
