二、阅读理解

16.    Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?

    In a recent Wall Street Journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so, we would be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built-in microphones. That's because technological progress is extremely rapid. It's only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should learn a second language.

    It's 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" into "It's not good to sleep too much". Replacing a word with its equivalent in the target language is actually the easy part of a translator's job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.

    It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't — or shouldn't — involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it's about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans 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, situations, 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 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 meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.

1.What does the underlined word "imminent" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Ready. B.Approaching. C.Unpractical. D.Confusing.
2.Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?
A.Their data is not adequate enough. B.The real meaning of words can vary.
C.Their accuracy needs big improvement. D.A soul hasn't been breathed in them.
3.What view does the author hold about translation?
A.Proper translation can be tough for humans.
B.Slight distinctions matter little in translation.
C.Some machines will interpret our world properly.
D.Cultures deserve more attention than words used.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.An Expert's Precise Prediction B.The Complexity of Translation
C.Who Will Be a Better Translator? D.Will the Language Barrier Actually Fall?

17.    Nothing evokes(唤起) Alaska like a whale exploding out of the water or an eagle pulling a silver fish from the river. Combine these images with high mountains, brilliant icebergs and wonderful meals and you really do have the best of Alaska!

    Join us for an unforgettable 7-day excursion(远足) to the last frontier! Additional highlights include: a scenic flight over the Glacier Bay Natioiml Park, a rafting trip through the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, historic Skagway, a whale-watching cruise and the company of knowledgeable local guides.

    HIGHLIGHTS:

    JUNEAU: Juneau, the state capital, is rich in culture and scenic beauty. It is here that we start and end our trip.

    HAINES: Haines is a small community located along the fiords(峡湾). The natural beauty and expansive wilderness found here have made Haines a premier centre for adventure in Alaska. In 2004, Haines was listed by Outside Magazine and National Geographic Adventure as one of the best places for recreation and living. The activities listed below are located in Haines.

    ALASKA INDIAN ARTS: Alaska Indian Arts is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to the preservation and continuation of traditional native craft and culture of the Northwest Native Tribes. Alaska Indian Arts is also the headquarters for several of Alaska's outstanding craftsmen and artisans. We spend a few hours learning carving, native beading(串珠饰) and culture from these master artists.

    SKAGWAY: Skagway is famous for its role in the Klondike Gold Stampede over 100 years ago. Today, it is a historic yet lively town, which still reflects its gold rush roots and contains colourful shops. In Skagway, we stop by the Klondike Gold Rush National Park Visitor's Centre and ride the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway.

    GUSTAVUS: Gustavus is the gateway to the Glacier Bay National Park. We'll stay at a comfortable lodge here for two nights. This will be the base for both the whale-watching excursion and a full-day cruise in Glacier Bay.

    DAIES/PRICES:

    May 16, June 20, July 18, August 15.

答案以及解析

1.答案：committed

2.答案：Surrounded

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：他被一群粉丝团团围住，动弹不得。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词move，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，由空后“by a crowd of fans”和句意可知，空处动词surround与主句主语he之间是逻辑被动关系，所以空处需用过去分词作状语，句首单词首字母需大写。故填Surrounded。

3.答案：spent

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：花在智力上的钱决不会白花，分析句子可知，句中谓语是is，空格处用非谓语动词，Money和spend是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词，作定语，表被动。故填spent。

4.答案：seated

解析：句意：—坐在教室后面的人能听到我说话吗？—没问题.seat与those为动宾关系，故此处用过去分词短语作后置定语.

5.答案：tested

6.答案：finished

解析：考查过去分词。句意：它们在夏末开始建造小屋，但不会在初霜前完工。结合句意分析句式结构可知，此处用提示词的非谓语动词形式作宾补，宾语them(指代huts)与finish之间是逻辑被动关系，应用过去分词，构成get sth done结构，表示“让某事被做”。故填finished.

7.答案：invited

8.答案：confirmed

解析：设空在句中做with结构的宾语补足语，且与evidence之间为动宾关系，故填过去分词confirmed。

9.答案：loaded

10.答案：buried

11.答案：concentrated

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：他坐在那儿，注意力集中在他前面的材料上。此处是“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，动词concentrate和宾语his attention之间是动宾关系，应用过去分词作宾语补足语，故填concentrated。

12.答案：Occupied
解析：句意: 由于忙于准备我的演讲, 我抽不出任何时间做其他任何事情。be occupied with"从事......, 忙于......", 此处应用Occupied作状语。

13.答案：Compared
解析：句意: 和信件相比, 如今电子邮件更方便交流。分析句子结构可知, 空处作状语, 与句子主语e-mails构成逻辑上的动宾关系, 表示被动意义, 故填Compared。

14.答案：surrounded
解析：句意: 当他醒过来的时候, 他发现他在医院里, 被一些亲戚围着。分析句子结构可知, 此处为"find+宾语+宾补"结构, 空处作宾语补足语, 与宾语himself构成逻辑上的动宾关系, 表示被动意义。故用动词-ed形式。

15.答案：to print

解析： 考查非谓语动词。句意:他拒绝和我们外出游玩,因为他有很多文件要为老板打印。根据句意可知,此处表示"有很多文件要打印",故用动词不定式作定语,用不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。

16.答案：1-4.BBAD
解析：1.考查词义猜测。根据第二段的最后两句可知,用机器交流仅仅是个时间问题,一些父母十分相信这种技术即将来临,以至于他们不知道自己的孩子是否还需要学习第二语言,故选B。
2.考查细节理解。根据第四段内容可知,翻译不仅仅是翻译单词、句子和段落,确切地说,它是有关意思的转换,为了推断一个具体短语的意思,人类不得不同时理解很多信息,故可知,单词真正的意思是会随着语境的变化而变化的。所以选B。
3.考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better"可以推测出,准确的翻译对于人来说很难。故选A。
4.考查主旨大意。根据文章内容,尤其是文章开头"Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language"可知,本文主要讨论了语言障碍会不会变小的问题。故选D。

17.答案：1-4 ACDC

3.根据日期/价格介绍中的“Not included: alcohol, personal items, airfare to and from Juneau.”可知，旅游费用不包含从Juneau往返各地的机票钱，故选D项。

4.HIGHLIGHTS介绍的几处景点分别因当地的历史文化或自然景观而出名，由此可知，阿拉斯加州以其历史、文化和自然景观闻名世界。
