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.语篇解读：技术专家说随着技术的进步，即时翻译机器将在十年左右在市场上出现。但是，由于翻译包括很多方面，因此电脑翻译不会精确，也不会完全取代人类的翻译。8what does the underlined word “imminent” in paragraph 2 probably mean?aready. bapproaching.chelpful. dadvanced.解析：选b词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的前一句“its only a matter of time.”并结合第二段的第一句可知，这种产品在十年左右会在市场上出现，再结合画线词后的“that theyre wondering if their kids should even learn a second language”可以判断，这种产品即将出现，家长们在考虑他们的孩子是否要学习一门外语。据此可知，画线词意为“即将发生的，临近的”，故b项正确。9why 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.ctheir accuracy needs big improvement.da soul hasnt been breathed in them.解析：选b细节理解题。根据第四段的“its so difficult for computers because translation doesnt or shouldnt . paragraphs.”并结合第五段的内容可知，由于一个词的意思可能有很多，电脑难以用某个对应词代替这个词，故b项正确。10what view does the author hold about translation?aproper translation can be tough for humans.bslight distinctions matter little in translation.csome machines will interpret our world properly.dcultures deserve more attention than words used.解析：选a推理判断题。根据最后一段的“if people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better？”可知，来自不同文化背景的人会互相冒犯却没有意识到；据此可以判断，由于文化背景不同，正确的翻译对于人来讲是很困难的，故a项正确。11what is the best title for the text?aan experts precise predictionbthe complexity of translationcwho will be a better translatordwill language barrier actually fall解析：选d标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了未来的一种即时翻译机器，但是同时提出由于语言中有许多对应词，这种机器无法精确翻译，另外因为文化背景的不同，有时人们自己也无法精确地翻译。据此可以判断，作者旨在说明在将来能否消除语言障碍，故d项为最佳标题。d(2018沈阳市高中三年级教学质检)youll probably never go to mars or sing on the stage with the rolling stones. but if virtual reality (vr) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things and many more without even leaving your home. unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. apart from games and entertainment, its long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules. then how does it work?close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wraparound headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. what distinguishes vr from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, vr uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. and where a pc displays output on a screen, vr uses two screens (one for each eye), surroundsound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.vr has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. how can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? all these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their realworld lives but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and tv to computer games and the internet. like many technologies, vr takes little or nothing away from the real world: you dont have to use it if you dont want to.语篇解读：本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了“虚拟现实”的工作原理、在不同领域的应用以及人们对这一技术的评价。12what equipment do we need for virtual reality?aa keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.ba headset, data gloves and a supercomputer.ca headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.da keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition.解析：选b细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“you probably picture something like this: a man . workstation or supercomputer”可知“虚拟现实”所需要的硬件设备有耳机、数据手套和超级电脑，故b项正确。13what is paragraph 3 mainly about?athe advantages of virtual reality.bthe influences of virtual reality.cthe importance of virtual reality.dthe applications of virtual reality.解析：选d段落大意题。通读第三段可知，第三段最后一句“all these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.”为该段的主题句，据此可知，该段主要介绍了“虚拟现实”在各个领域的应用，故d项正确。14what is the writers attitude towards vr?acautious. bappreciative.cdoubtful. duninterested.解析：选b观点态度题。本文第一段介绍了“虚拟现实”的作用；第三段介绍了“虚拟现实”在各个领域的应用；文章最后一句给出了作者的观点：正如许多技术一样，“虚拟现实”不会从现实世界中带走什么，如果你不想用可以不用。据此可知，作者对“虚拟现实”是欣赏的，故b项正确。15according to the passage, virtual reality means _.aexperiencing things that dont really existbcreating something that doesnt existcimagining beautiful things in our minddcloning something that has died out解析：选a细节理解题。根据第一段尤其是第三句“unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world.”可知，“虚拟现实”是一种可以让人们体验到不存在的事物的技术，故a项正确。.阅读七选五(2018宁夏银川市重点中学高三模拟)coming facetoface with your inadequacies (缺点) can be painful, to say the least. _1_ it even makes you question yourself. your kneejerk reaction may be to get defensive or even dismiss the critique entirely. but handling negative feedback with grace will not only make you look gracious, but it could ultimately help you grow as a person. heres how to do it.be objective about the criticismbefore you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other persons opinion, take a step back and look at it objectively.next time you get a bad review, dont immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you, but rather, take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate. _2_avoid unnecessary conflictif you decide that the point is valid, it may be hard to take. in your discomfort, you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself. _3_be open to the idea of change_4_ and it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance” that can prevent us from changing even when thats
