button.and then there is todays automated translation technology.services like google translate can provide the main idea of a passage of a text.computers learn to translate by searching for correlations in texts that have been translated by humans.but if youre a newspaper publisher seeking foreign readers or an expert wanting to educate speakers of another language，human translation remains the only option.martin benjamin wants to change that.his attempt is called kamusi and its a multilingual dictionary that contains all the worlds languages.unlike other online dictionaries, kamusi is built around concepts as well as words.so the word“spring”， for instance，is linked to several concepts，including the season that comes before summer and a sudden upward or forward motion.this structure could solve one of the biggest challenges for machine translation.asked to translate “spring in her step” into french，for example，google chooses printempsthe seasonfor “spring”the inability of computers to deal with homonymswords that are spelled the same but have different meaningsis one reason why machine translations are often so misrepresented.kamusi avoids this problem by recognizing that “spring” is associated with multiple concepts and prompting the user to say which is relevant.kamusi has come this far by relying on volunteers and money from the us national endowment for the humanities.benjamin thinks that speakers of minority languages will be motivated to add more terms for free，since they will gain the ability to translate their language into those that are already represented in the dictionary.benjamin is also trying to get some topdown support：companies that do business in africa，a continent that is poorly served by existing dictionaries，for instance，might be motivated to pay for large numbers of local words to be added to kamusi.1by using automated translation technology，we can_.aknow the general meaning of a textbread a newspaper published in another languageceducate speakers of another languageddistinguish different concepts of a word2which is the biggest challenge for machine translation according to the passage?alearners cant learn a language through it.bit cant offer completely right translation.cit cant deal with homonyms.dusers cant search the proper meaning of a word.3the advantage of kamusi is that_.ait is mainly based on concepts of wordsbit focuses on the origin of wordscit can recognize the proper meaning of a worddit has enough words and terms needed4which of the following is true according to the passage?akamusi can translate some of the worlds languages.bthe word “spring”has more than one meaning.ckamusi cant be used by newspaper publishers who seek foreign readers.din africa，there are a variety of languages as well as dictionaries.b体裁：说明文话题：科学发现词数：365难度：建议用时：7分钟scientists may have discovered the worlds oldest dinosaurnot buried under the earth，but sitting on a shelf.a team led by sterling nesbitt found the beasts bones in the natural history museum in london.they decided to take a second look at these forgotten fossils，which consist of six vertebrae(椎骨)and an upper arm bone.the scientists studied minerals from the earth where the bones were discovered and compared them with rocks from around the globe.they found that the bones were from the middle triassic period,10 million to 15 million years before the oldest known dinosaurs were thought to have existed.the upper arm fossil had traits(特点)seen in dinosaurs and their closest relatives.the shape of the arm bone also matched that of early dinosaurs.nesbitts team concluded that the specimen was most likely a new species of dinosaur, which they called nyasasaurus parringtoni.this species was about the size of a large dog.it had a long tail and stood upright on two legs.the newly discovered species proves that the earliest dinosaurs lived in the southern hemisphere.these dinosaurs probably developed alongside several other reptile species before finally taking their place as the dominant life forms on earth.the fossilized bones were first found near lake nyasa in tanzania by frex parrington.parrington gave the bones to his student alan charig.charig studied the fossils for 40 years.he named the unknown species nyasasaurus，or “nyasa lizard”charig believed the bones were either from the earliest dinosaur or from a very close relative.others didnt agree with him，so he never published his findings.the fossilized bones were tucked_away in a storeroom at the natural history museum，where nesbitt and his team recently found them.“whats really neat about this specimen is that it has a lot of history，”nesbitt said.“found in the 30s，first described in the 1950s but never published，then its name pops up but is never validated(证实)now 80 years later，were putting it all together.”nesbitts team is now planning to do further research on nyasasaurus parringtonithis time in the field，not in a storeroom!5what do we know about the species of dinosaur“nyasasaurus parringtoni”？ait was as big as a large dog.bit could stand on two of its legs.cit lived 10 million to 15 million years ago.dit had a long neck in its early time.6nesbitt judged the fossils in the museum depending on_.athe rocks from lake nyasabthe minerals in the earthcthe length of the taildthe weight of the upper arm bone7why didnt charig publish his findings?abecause they werent discovered by himself.bbecause he was afraid of being laughed at.cbecause other scientists had different ideas.dbecause his teacher didnt allow him to do it.8the underlined phrase“tucked away”in paragraph 7 can be replaced by_.athrown bcovered cburied dplaced.书面表达假如你是李华，上周在英国参加了你校组织的“中学生文化交流周”活动，并住在kelly家里。请你给在英国期间认识的新朋友kelly写封感谢信，内容包括：1交流活动中的收获；2难忘在kelly家的美好日子；3感谢她送你的英文词典。注意：1.词数100左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3开头语和结束语已为你写好(不计入总词数)。提示词汇：文化交流周cultural
