2、to communicate with one another via small earpieces with builtin microphones. Thats because technological progress is extremely rapid.Its only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that theyre wondering if their kids should even learn a second langu

3、age.Its true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “Its not good to sleep too much”. Replacing a word with its equivalent(對應(yīng)詞) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a transl

4、ators job.But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.Its so difficult for computers because translation doesnt or shouldntinvolve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, its about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, human

5、s have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use. Therefore ，we should be very skeptical of a machine

6、 that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting me

7、aning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.【解題導(dǎo)語】技術(shù)專家說隨著技術(shù)的進(jìn)步，即時翻譯機(jī)器將在大約十年內(nèi)出現(xiàn)在市場上。但是，由于翻譯包括很多方面，因此電腦翻譯不會精確，也不會完全取代人類的翻譯。1What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AReady.BApproaching.CHelpful. DAdvanced.B解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句的前一句并結(jié)合第二段的第一句可知，這種產(chǎn)

8、品在大約十年內(nèi)會在市場上出現(xiàn)，再結(jié)合畫線詞后的“that theyre wondering if their kids should even learn a second language”可以判斷，這種產(chǎn)品即將出現(xiàn)，家長們在考慮他們的孩子是否要學(xué)習(xí)一門外語。據(jù)此可知，畫線詞意為“即將發(fā)生的；臨近的”，故B項正確。2Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?ATheir data is not adequate enough.BThe real meaning of words can vary.CT

9、heir accuracy needs big improvement.DA soul hasnt been breathed in them.B解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的“Its so difficult for computers because translation doesntor shouldnt . paragraphs.”并結(jié)合第五段的內(nèi)容可知，由于一個表達(dá)的意思可能有很多，所以電腦難以用某個對應(yīng)詞去代替一個詞，故B項正確。3What view does the author hold about translation?AProper translation can be

10、 tough for humans.BSlight distinctions matter little in translation.CSome machines will interpret our world properly.DCultures deserve more attention than words used.A解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it，how can we expect a machine to do bette

11、r？”可知，來自不同文化背景的人會互相冒犯卻沒有意識到；據(jù)此可以判斷，由于文化背景不同，恰當(dāng)?shù)姆g對于人來講是很困難的，故A項正確。4What is the best title for the text?AAn Experts Precise PredictionBThe Complexity of TranslationCWho Will Be a Better Translator?DWill Language Barrier Actually Fall?D解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了未來的一種即時翻譯機(jī)器，但是同時提出由于語言中有許多對應(yīng)詞，這種機(jī)器無法精確翻譯。另外

12、因為文化背景的不同，有時人們自己也無法精確地翻譯。據(jù)此可以判斷，作者旨在說明在將來能否消除語言障礙，故D項最適合作本文標(biāo)題。二、語法填空。In Britain someone who helps children cross the street _1_ (call)“l(fā)ollipop person”， because their sign looks like a lollipop (棒棒糖)The job of a lollipop person is to walk to the middle of the road at a(n) _2_ (suit) time, holding up

13、 the sign. It is a legal _3_ (require) for traffic to stop at this command. The lollipop person will signal that it is all right to cross the road _4_ (safe). Traffic may only move once the sign has been lowered.Generally speaking, school crossings are manned for approximately 3 hours a day or less.
