解答 41.a 42.which/that 43.unusual 44.presence 45.himself 46.taking 47.on 48.when 49.to determine 50.more
解析:
41.a 考查冠词 句意为:这是我们判断一个人的很好的规则,rule是可数名词,应该使用不定冠词a
42.which/that 考查定语从句 本句为 that/which 引导的定语从句,修饰 minds,意为"一些人的思想只在特定的场合闪光".
43.unusual 考查形容词 前面使用的不定冠词an,说明此处应该填usual的派生词unusual
44.presence 考查名词 一个在写作上拥有非凡天赋的年轻人可能会发现,自己在一个漂亮女孩面前说不出话来,in the presence of 在…面前
45.himself 考查代词 根据句意可知,对于这样的人,有一支笔和一张纸,他就可以比任何人更好地表达他自己(himself).故此处使用 he 的反身代词形式 himself,意为"他自己".故正确答案为 himself.
46.taking 考查非谓语 take notes是做笔记,与前面的listening attentively 并列,因此使用taking
47.on 考查介词 结合句意,一个认真听课、做笔记的学生肯定会给老师留下一个好印象,make a favorable impression on sb 意为"留某人下好印象",使用介词on
48.when 考查连词 When it comes to 意为"当提到…",为固定搭配,故答案为When
49.to determine 考查非谓语 to determine…为不定式作后置定语,修饰 the only way.意为"决定一个人智力的唯一方法是慢慢了解他".故正确答案为 to determine.
50.more 考查比较级"the+比较级,the+比较级"意为"越…,就越…".本句的句型为"the more…,the better…".意为"你见到的场合越多,你的判断可能就越好".故正确答案为 more.

Homemade selfie sticks could date back as early as 1925.A photo from that year shows a man taking a photograph of himself and his wife,with the aid of a long pole which is pointed towards the camera and out of frame.Amateur box cameras of the period would not have been able to capture a self-portrait in focus when held at arm's length,requiring photographers to use remote shutter (快门) devices such as cables or sticks.
The 1983 Minolta Disc film"Disc-7"camera had a convex mirror on its front to allow the composition of self-portraits,and its packaging showed the camera mounted on a stick while used for such a purpose.A"telescopic extender"for compact handheld cameras was patented in U.S.in 1983.Canadian inventor Wayne Fromm patented his Quik Pod in 2005,and it became commercially available in the United States the following year.Despite positive reviews for the Quik Pod over the next few years in mainstream press,the term"selfie stick"itself did not become widely used until 2014.
People attach their cell phone or camera to the end of the selfie stick,raise it in front of themselves and then make a sound or press a Shutter button"shutter button on the stick handle which is connected to the camera (usually using a port such as a Phone connector (audio)"headphone jack),or press a button on a wireless remote (often via Bluetooth"Bluetooth),or use the camera's built-in timer to take a photo after a number of seconds have passed.The first two methods usually adapt the device's physical means of pressing the camera shutter such as the volume controls or the dedicated camera button of the device,which are replicated(复制)on Headphones"headphones with on-cord controls,and are seen by the device as headphone devices.
The device gives more practical use in situations that require assistance for difficult photographs.It allows the user to take photographs in otherwise dangerous situations such as taking a photo over a cliff or from the door of an airplane.The device is sometimes used to take selfies that involve the photographer inside a moving vehicle.
Enlarge"Bans and restrictions on the use of selfie sticks have been imposed across a range of public venues(场所)generally on the grounds of safety and inconvenience to others.
Several concert venues in Australia and the United Kingdom have banned the use of selfie sticks,along with some music festivals in the United States.Organisers have cited their role in the"illegal recording"of bands'sets,and the inconvenience and safety issues to fellow audience members.The sticks have been banned in some museums,galleries and historical sites because of concerns about possible damage to artworks and other objects.
Theme parks including Walt Disney World Resort"Walt Disney World Resortand Six Flags"Six Flags have banned selfie sticks.The sticks have always been banned on rides at Disney World for safety reasons,but after a number of instances where rides had to be stopped because of a guest pulling out a selfie stick in mid-ride,such as incidents on California Screamin'"California Screamin'and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad"Big Thunder Mountain Railroad,Disney issued a park-wide ban on the accessorie(配件).
