每周一测. 阅读理解AWhat will you think of when it comes to “Hong Kong” and “great swimming”? Shopping sure, but swimming pool? Turns out, along with all its other attractions, Hong Kong is loaded with wonderful pools.The RitzCarltonThe pool at the RitzCarlton is breathtaking, thanks to the view, the altitude and, of course, the swim. On the 118th floor at 484 meters above the street in the tallest building in Hong Kong, its the worlds highest swimming pool. The ceiling and walls are made up of 144 LED screens displaying coral reefs and other natural scenes.W Hotel Hong KongIf you have only one nice swimsuit, save it for the W Hotel Hong Kong. Only people living in this hotel can enjoy this wonderful pool, which is Hong Kongs highest rooftop pool. The hotels signature WET deck is famous for stylish and occasionally wild poolside parties in summer. WET also features a good cocktail bar and a Jacuzzi.Hotel IndigoOne of Hong Kongs unique experiences is swimming in Hotel Indigos glass bottom pool. The pool protrudes from the hotel, allowing people below to see swimmers and the swimmers to do laps while checking out the traffic below. The pool is smaller compared to other local grand hotels and only available to the hotel guests.Four Seasons HotelThe Four Seasons Hotel gorgeous infinity pool overlooks Victoria Harbor. Even cooler, the hotel pipes in underwater music, making the swim much more wonderful, or annoying, depending on your taste in music. The pool is open only to hotel guests.1. At which hotel can a tourist still enjoy swimming if he/she lives in none of the hotels mentioned above?A. The RitzCarlton. B. W Hotel Hong Kong.C. Hotel Indigo. D. Four Seasons Hotel.2. What do we know about swimmers in Hotel Indigo?A. They can be seen by people below. B. They can check out the hotel.C. They can guide the traffic below. D. They can be asked to do laps.3. Where does this text probably come from?A. A research paper. B. An official announcement.C. A tourist brochure. D. A fashion magazine.BHave you ever imagined traveling 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, well be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built - in microphones. Thats because technological progress is extremely rapid. Its only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents firmly hold the idea that this technology is approaching and theyre wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.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 (同义词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translators job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.Its so difficult for computers because translation doesnt-or shouldnt-involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, its 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, 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 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.4. What view does the author hold about translation?A. Proper translation can be tough for humans.B. Slight differences matter little in translation.C. Some machines will interpret our world properly.D. Cultures deserve more attention than words used.5. What is the best title for the text?A. An Experts Precise PredictionB. The Complexity of TranslationC. Who Will Be a Better TranslatorD. Will Language Barrier Actually Disappear?6. What is the authors attitude to the modem technology?A. Unclear B. ObjectiveC. Optimistic D. Negative.7. In which column can you read the article in a newspaper?A. Language Learning. B. Comments on hot issues.C. Science Development. D. Translation tips. 完形填空阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My fiance (未婚夫)and I were excited about shopping for our first home.

Praise progress in homework.B. Tell your child how important homework is.C. Make sure your child has a quiet place to do homework.D.
