Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature (文学) of the countryNow speaking the foreign language is what most people wantEvery year many millions of people start learning oneHow do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classesIf they use the language only twice or three times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at schoolA few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a dayIt is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spokenHowever, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessaryThey need the language in order to do their work betterFor example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able toread books and reports in the foreign languageWhether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard workMachines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students work for them（1）Before the Second World War people learned a foreign language in order to _ A . speak to each otherB . listen to the radioC . read something they didnt knowD . write the literature of the other country（2）The easiest way for us to learn a foreign language is _ A . using the language six or more hours a dayB . learning the language at schoolC . studying the language in the foreign countryD . reading the foreign stories as many as possible（3）The passage mainly tells us that A . the more you practise, the quicker youll learn the languageB . it is possible for you to learn a foreign language in six weeksC . it is not good for you to learn a foreign language by yourselfD . the quicker you learn a foreign language, the more you must pay for it4. （8分）阅读理解Artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) can help us make phone calls. It can guide us to where we want to go. It can play games. And now, AI can do even more things.Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English, Business Standard reported.According to Microsofts official website, researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from news stories. Then, language experts compared the results to two translations that were done by humans. The experts concluded that the systems translations were as good as the human translations.Machine translation is always challenging. This is partly because different words can be used to express the same meaning. It can be hard to say which word is more “correct”.Experts used several methods to improve the systems translation abilities. “Much of our research is really inspired (得到启发) by how we humans do things,” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.One method is called dual learning. In this method, the system translates every sentence from Chinese to English, as well as translates the sentences back from English into Chinese. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes. This is similar to what humans do to make sure their translations are accurate (准确的).Another method makes use of deliberation networks . The researchers taught the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Gradually, the system can improve the quality of its translations. This is similar to how people revise their own writing by going through it again and again.（1）Microsoft created a system that can _. A . make phone callsB . give people directionsC . play games with peopleD . translate news articles（2）What did the experts say about the systems translations? A . They were not accurate.B . They were as good as human translations.C . They were better than human translations.D . Its hard to tell whether the translations were correct.（3）Dual learning trains the system to translate _.A . more quicklyB . different sentencesC . more accuratelyD . the same sentence repeatedly（4）What is the main idea of the story? A . What artificial intelligence can do for us.B . How sentences are translated from Chinese to English.C . How the machine translation system was developed.D . Why Microsoft created a machine translation system.5. （8分）阅读理解Four men who would become fathers were in a hospital waiting room while their wives were going to give birth to their babies.
