29、iend” request from a parent or family member.Its a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our _58_ lives.

36、ecause of celeb status. Whatta town!- 9 -After surprising Georgians by campaigning for Abrams door-to-door, Oprah spoke at a Thursday campaign rally(集会) for her in Marietta.“I was just sitting at home in California minding my own business, but I could not stop thinking about whats going on down here
37、,” Winfrey said. “Nobody paid for me to come here, nobody even asked me to come here. I paid for myself and I approve this message.”She declared, “I am here today to support a change maker.” If elected, Abrams would become the first African-American woman governor of a state. “Shes a woman who dared
38、 believe she could change the state of Georgia.”Oprah added, “I am an independent woman. Ive earned the right to think for myself and to vote for myself, and thats why I am a registered independent.”She continued, “Im here today because of the men and because of the women who were lynched(用私刑绞死), wh
39、o were humiliated(羞辱), who were discriminated against, who were suppressed, who were repressed and oppressed for the right, for the equality at the polls, and I want you to know that their blood seeped(渗透) into my DNA and I refuse to let their sacrifices be in vain.”66.

41、 presidential electionBDoes 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.- 10 -“We want to know how the mental vocabula
42、ry 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 finding this smallest set of words and
43、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 word, which is linked to the other words u
44、sed 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 kernel (核心). Whats more, the kernel has
45、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 the Kernel, words which have been acquir
46、ed 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 meanings can be reduced to a chain of definitio
47、ns. “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 structure meaning.” he says.68. The first parag
48、raph serves as _ in the passage.A. a comparison between human brain and a dictionary- 11 -B. 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 dictionary69. What does the underlined phrase “pinning down” in Paragraph 3 mean here?A. determ
