27、ed States have a Matching Gift program, which offers certain amount of money to these organizations when its employee makes a personal donation. The following list includes information on four major companies matching gift programs. The Coca-Cola Limitation Coca-Cola offers a matching gift program f

28、or employees through which the company triples (三倍于)donations to educational organizations, arts& cultural organizations and environmental groups. If you have donors who work for Coke, then make sure theyre submitting these grant requests , as the tripling of employee donations can go a long way

29、.GE Foundation The GE Foundation matches at a 1:1 ratio with a minimum required donation of $ 25 and a maximum donation of $25,000 per year. Employees (both part and full-time), spouses ,and retires are all eligible for their matching gift program.Google Google offers a generous matching gift progra

30、m through which the company matches donations form employees to a wide range of organizations.This is through either the companys personal matching gift program or through the matching of fundraising efforts for events such as walks , marathons, bike rides, etc. Each Google employee can request up t

31、o $12,000 in matching funds annually through its different matching gift programs.Verizon Verizon has a solid matching gift program in place for its full-time and part-time employees and for its retires.Verizon matches donations at a 1：1 ratio, with a minimum gift requirement of $25 and a maximum gi

32、ft requirements of $ 1,000 per year, per donor . The company will match a maximum of $5,000 per year , per donor for donation to higher education.56.

33、eeC. give certain donations as well D. organize some voluntary events 57.From the list ,we know that _.A. Coca-Cola offers three times donations of its employees to religious groups.B. Coca-Cola handles its employees donations request quickly.C.GE and Verizon will give the same amount, if an employe

34、e donates $20.D. Googles employees can claim matching gift in various forms.58.The purpose of this passage is _.A. to inform B. to entertain C.to explain D. to persuadeBFlickering lights are annoying but they may have an advantage. Visible light communication (VLC) uses rapid pluses of light to tran

35、smit information wirelessly. Now it may be ready to compete with conventional Wi-fi.In a recent TED talk, Harald Hasas from the University of Edinburge,UK demonstrated one VLC prototype(原型），“Li-Fi", transmitting a video from a store-bought LED lamp to a solar cell to a laptop. “Li-Fi is essenti

36、ally the same as Wi-Fi,except for a small difference- we use LED lights around us to transmit the data wirelessly as opposed to using radio," Haas says.Once established, VLC could solve some major communication problems. In 2009, the US Federal Communications Commission(FCC) warned of spectrum

37、(波谱）crisis: because our mobile devices are so data- hungry we will soon run out of radio-frequency bandwidth.Li-Fi could free up bandwidth, especially as much of the infrastructure is already in place."There are around14 billion light bulbs worldwide, they just need to replaced with LED ones th

38、at transmit data", says Haas.The idea of transmitting data through the visible light spectrum is not new.Alexander Graham Bell transmitted sound via a beam of sunlight in 1880 using a photo phone, a sort of solar-powered wireless telephone. In the past several decades, a number of researchers h

39、ave looked at using visible light to transmit data.But what Haas seized on is the use of simple LED light bulbs for data transmission. LED bulbs are controlled by a driver, which can rapidly di the light or turn it on or off. Therefore, Haas figured, data could be encoded in subtle shifts of the lig

40、hts brightness. Eventually, he creaded a working transmitter and receiver system with an IKEA lamp and a solar panel.Li-Fi stands to be much faster than Wi-Fi. According to Haas research, Li-Fi can achieve data density 1000 times greater than Wi-Fi,because Li-Fi signals are contained in a small area

41、, as opposed to the more diffuse (分散的)，radio signals.The system wouldnt mean having to keep your lights on all the time either, Haas says-bulbs could be dimmed to such a point that they appear off, but still transmit data.Now, Haas team hopes that Li-Fi could make its way into homes in a few years.

42、The system can easily network any device with an LED lightan electric kettle, an oven. Eventually, this could bring about the Internet of Things era much faster. Haas also sees Li-Fi as a way to bring internet to remote location, using hilltop transmitters and rooftop solar panels. LED streetlights

43、could even be used to form a network of outdoor Li-Fi, making it possible to stay connected when walking around the city.But some sound a cautious note about VLCs future. It becomes less powerful , for example,when light is blocked, wheather due to fog or other conditions.59.By saying "There ar

44、e around14 billion light bulbs worldwide”Haas intended to tell us that _A. mobile devices will consume more dataB. radio-frequency bandwidth needs to be freed up.C. VLC might solve the spectum crisis.D. the world has a complete lighting infrastructure.60. The underlined phrased “seized on“ in the pa

45、ssage is closet in meaning to “_”A distinguished B. exploited C. created D. figured61. We can learn from the passage that _A. Li-Fi cant work outdoors. B Li-Fi can work with LED lights off. C. Li-Fi can be used with all household appliances. D. Li-Fi needs improving to next diverse need.C“Theres no

46、point in talking with you: you dont understand me. You dont even know me.” A teen spits these words at a parent, who is hurt and annoyed. How can her own child say these things? Shes worked hard getting to know him, learning to read his feelings from his voice and gestures. How can her own child now

47、 say to her, “You dont know who I really am”?Nothing shakes a parents confidence as much as the starting of a childs adolescence. The communication that has flowed easily through words, glance and touch becomes a minefield(雷区)Recent discoveries that the human brain undergoes specific and dramatic de

48、velopment during adolescence offer new “explanations” of teen behavior, particularly of the impulsiveness(冲动) of teenagers. During this development, there may be too many synapses(神经元突触) for the brain to work efficiently, the mental capacities of decision-making, judgment and control are not mature

49、until the age of twenty-four.An old explanation is that anger hormones account for the apparently unreasonable moodiness(情绪化) of teens. Though hormones do play a role in human feelings, the real task of adolescence, and the real cause of the unrest, is the uncertainty of teenagers about who they are

50、, alongside their eagerness to establish a sense of identity.This involves self-questioning, self-discovery and self-development across a range of issues, including sex, faith, intellect and relationships. A sense of who we are is not a mere luxury; without it we feel worthless. A teen often looks u

51、pon his or her friends sa models: “ I dont know who I am, but I know who he is, Ill be like him,” is the underlying thought. Parents also become such mirrors: teens want that mirror to reflect back to them the vividness and clarity they themselves do not feel.Arguments with parents can often be unde

52、rstood in this context. While those common teenager-parent quarrels, which explode every few days, are often over small things such as homework, housework, and respect; a teenagers real focus is on a parents recognition of his maturity and capability and human value. “ No, you cant go out tonight,”

53、implies that a parent you got your keys?” or “Do you have enough money for the bus?” are questions that can be easily accepted if asked by a concerned friend, but awaken a teens own doubts if asked by a parent. Feeling the need to distinguish himself from the kid who cant remember to take his lunch,

54、 his keys or his money, he blames the parent for reminding him of the child-self still living within him. What my research shows is that quarreling witj your teen doesnt necessarily mean you have a bad relationship. The quality of teenager-parent relationship has several measures.62. According to th

55、e text, teenagers_.A. can fully understand their parents feelingsB. need guidance in every aspect of their lifeC. may experience a huge mental changeD. know themselves better than their parents do63. What do we learn from the text?A. Parents hate talking to their children because they cant understan

56、d them.B. The brains of teenagers work more efficiently because of the synapses.C. Hormones are the real causes of unrest and moodiness in teens.D. What teens really care about is being recognized by their parents.64. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Quarrels between children and parents often involve serious issues.B. A parent should not ask a child about money.C. A child wants respect, especially from his or her parents.D. Quarrels are a sign of a bad relationship.65. What will probably be written in the following paragraph?A. Other ways of assess
