This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at USs Carnegie Mellon University(CMU)and Germanys University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be a reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other. One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme. Another prototype (雏形机)can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,”Waibel said. Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe (转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal (液晶) display(LCD)screen. Then theres the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a persons face, according to researchers. During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMUs Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthedwithout speaking alouda few words in Mandarin (普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget (器具), when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to creategood enough bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,”Waibel said. With spontaneous (自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there. 1. Which of the following statements is not true? A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily. B. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth. C. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now. D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot. 2. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage? A. Lecture Translation. B. Multiple Translator. C. Muscle Translator. D. Translation Prototype. 3. Whats the final destination of inventing the language translators? A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier. B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily. C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably. D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future. 4. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph? A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need. B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge. C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all. D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market. 5. Where can this passage probably be excerpted from? A. A newspaper. B. A magazine on science. C. A fairy tale.D. A scientific fantasy book.【参考答案】15、CBADB 阅读理解 Americas population was booming and spreading west in the early 1800s. Westward expansion came mostly at the expense of the Indians who were often forced to move from their native lands. In the state of Georgia, the population increased 600 percent in the matter of 40 years. As a result, many of its native tribes(部落) were pushed out. The Cherokee Indians, of western Georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828. In 1830, however, president Andrew Jackson authorized (批准) the Indian Removal Act. The Cherokees fought the law, and it was overturned by chief justice John Marshall two years later.Just three years later, however, in 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed. The Treaty was not authorized by the Cherokee Nation, but rather, a small group of Cherokee radicals led by John Ridge. Under the Treaty, the Cherokee were to leave Georgia and the government would compensate them at a price determined to be about 5 percent of the value of the land. The majority of the Cherokee Nation would never had agreed to the Treaty, but the U.S. government ratified it anyway. John Ridge was thus seen as a traitor by the Cherokees - and would later pay with his life. The Georgia government then staged a land lottery in which Cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions. They were sold to anyone who had $4.00 and who had won a chance to own land. In 1838, General Winfield Scott and 7,000 troops invaded Cherokee land. Men, women, and children were forced to walk westward from Georgia nearly 1,000 miles with minimal facilities and food, to reservations set up for them in Oklahoma. Cherokee chief John Ross, eventually was able to convince Winfield Scott that his people should lead the tribe west. Scott agreed and Ross divided the people into smaller groups so they could forage for food on their own. Although Ross may have save countless lives, nearly 4,000 Indians died walking this Trail of Tears. 1. Which of the following happened first?A. Cherokees walk to Oklahoma.B. The Indian Removal Act.C. The Treaty of New Echota.D. The Georgia “Land Lottery”. 答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由文章第二段倒数第二句话 “In 1830, however, president Andrew Jackson authorized the Indian Removal Act.”可知，B选项发生在1830年；由第三段第一句话 “Just three years later, however, in 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed.”可知，C选项发生在1835年；由第三段倒数第二句话 “The Georgia government then staged a land lottery in which Cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions.”可知，D选项发生在Treaty of New Echota后; 由最后一段前两句话 “ In 1838, General Winfield Scott and 7,000 troops invaded Cherokee land. set up for them in Oklahoma.”可知，A选项发生在最后。故答案为B。2. The underlined part “ratified it” (in Para. 3) can be replaced by “ ”. A. made it officialB. signed it secretlyC. removed itD. ignored it 答案解析：答案为A。本题为语义推断题。结合该短语出现的句子 “The majority of the Cherokee Nation would never had agreed to the Treaty, but the U.S. government ratified it anyway.”, “ratified it” 出现在 “but” 后面，可见该短语和前面的never had agreed to the “Treaty 意思相反，故答案为A，使条约正式化。3. Why was John Ridge viewed as a traitor by the Cherokees?A. Because he sold his land to the U.S.Government at a low price.B. Because he represented the U.S. Govermment.C. Because he signed an unfair treaty for the Cherokees.D. Because he carried out a “land lottery” in Georgia. 答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。细读第三段，Treaty of New Echota被签署，但不是经过Cherokee 民族批准的，而是由John Ridge领导的一小群Cherokee极端分子干的，规定Cherokee民族离开Georgia，政府赔偿给他们原有土地的百分之五，大多数Cherokee 人并不同意该条约，但是美国政府最终还是批准了该条约，因此John Ridge被认为是Cherokee的民族叛徒。故答案为C。4. According to the passage, what is the key factor for the “Trail of Tears”?A. The conflict between the Cherokees and the local government.B. The increase of population in the state of Georgia.C. The constant struggle for land between the native Americans and the settlers.D. The discovery of gold in western Gerogia.答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题。文章的最后提到 “nearly 4,000 Indians died walking this Trail of Tears”， 为什么会发生此事？本题实际考察现象背后的实质：Cherokee 印第安人为什么要移民？由文章第二段 “The Cherokee Indians, of western Georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828.” 可知，western Georgia 发现了金子后，白人就觊觎此片土地淘金，发生了后来的移民事件，留下了Cherokee 印第安人的血和泪。故答案为D。阅读理解-AThe week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything Id owned was sold to pay debts that I didnt even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. Id lost everything except my four teenage children.

It was time to live my imagination!The next day I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadnt painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it.The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us.
