31、orld. This is probably because the guest-host relationship in China is much different from that in some Western countries.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese persons home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water.

32、 In the West, things are different. Acting according to the hosts way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.And there are lots of things Westerners find difficult to adapt to. For example, my mother-in-law doesnt smoke. So when I see some of her guests smoking in her house. As a non-smoker,

33、I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly. But I must realize that, to be a good host in China, she mustnt do that. However, in most North American homes, you should not smoke in the same case. You could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But dont be surprised if you get a “no”. In our culture,

34、its not considered rude at all.In China, you probably wont need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. But if western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treatin

35、g you is not what you have expected.1Many Westerners think Chinese are the worst guests because _.AChinese act like gods in their home Bthey dont expect gifts from ChineseCthere are cultural differences DChinese are heavy smokers2When a Western guest visits a Chinese family, he often _ .Abuys some f

BWould you like a cigarette (香烟)?CSmoking is a bad habit. DSorry, please dont smoke here.4In the passage, the underlined phrase “adapt to” probably

37、 means “_”.Athink back to Bget used toClook forward to Dkeep close to5When it comes to the guest-host relationship, the writer thinks _.Aforeigners should learn from ChineseBhosts must do things in the guests wayCWestern hosts are always nice to guestsDpeople should understand cultural differencesD1

38、6、 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, Bu

39、siness 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 t

40、ranslations 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.

41、“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,

42、 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 ov

43、er. 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.1Microsoft created a system that can _.Amake phone callsBgive people directionsCplay games with peopleDtranslate news articles2What did th

44、e experts say about the systems translations?AThey were not accurate.BThey were as good as human translations.CThey were better than human translations.DIts hard to tell whether the translations were correct.3Dual learning trains the system to translate _.Amore quicklyBdifferent sentencesCmore accur

45、atelyDthe same sentence repeatedly4What is the main idea of the story?AWhat artificial intelligence can do for us.BHow sentences are translated from Chinese to English.CHow the machine translation system was developed.DWhy Microsoft created a machine translation system.E17、Do you like traveling?
