Meta’s system was trained on a data set of 7.5 billion sentence pairs collected from the web across 100 languages,though not all the languages had an equal number of sentence pairs.“What I was really interested in was cutting out English as a middle man.Globally there are plenty of countries where they speak two languages that aren’t English,” says Angela Fan of Meta AI,who led the work. For some language pairs,the new system shows prominent improvements in translation quality.For example,translating from Spanish to Portuguese is extremely strong because Spanish is the second-most spoken first language worldwide,meaning the researchers can get a lot of data.Translation between English and Belarusian (白俄罗斯语) also is improved because the AI can translate Russian into English,which shares similarities with Belarusian. While the system isn’t in use on the social network site,Meta plans to put it to work soon to manage the 20 billion translations made every day when people click “Translate” on posts (帖子) written in more than 160 languages.“Future work will be done on other languages,” says Fan,“especially for languages where we don’t have a lot of data,like South-East Asian and African languages.” The work “breaks away from the English-centric models and tries to build more different models,” says Shelia Castilho of the ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University,Ireland.“That’s pretty new and different.But it’s hard to know if the AI does a right translation work,” says Castilho.“The users may not know the other language,so they cannot judge the correctness of the translation.” 1.What’s Angela Fan’s purpose of doing the research? A.To collect data of all kinds of people. B.To make learning different languages easier. C.To achieve her dream of becoming a translator. D.To avoid using English as a middle man in translation. 2.Why is it easy to translate from Spanish to Portuguese by AI? A.There is much data on Spanish. B.Portuguese is similar to Spanish. C.Researchers have a good knowledge of the two languages. D.Spanish is spoken by the largest number of people. 3.What is Castilho worried about? A.The safety of AI translation. B.The correctness of AI translation. C.The way of using Meta. D.The number of posts on the website. 4.What is the best title for the text? A.Meta AI Can Talk with the Users B.Meta Wants to Buy a New System C.Meta AI Can Translate Any Pair of 100 Languages D.Meta Has Lost Many Users Ⅴ.七选五 Smartphone Stress:Are You a Victim of “Always On” Culture?

So he wrote what he wanted.Not an essay (短文) but a short story,science fiction.It was about a distant planet that didn’t have summer—it was spring all the time.And it didn’t have vacations either.The aliens (外星人) just worked 24 hours a day! Sam handed in the story soon.However,later that night he lay awake until 3 a.m.,thinking.“How will Mrs.White like my writing?” English was his favorite.Maybe he would ask Mrs.White for a chance to write another one she wanted. The next morning,Sam got to school,only to know Mrs.White had already read and graded the essays. 注意:1.续写词数应为80左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Worried and nervous,he saw Mrs.White came in and the English class began.                                     答案 Ⅰ.1.location　2.optional　3.imaginary　4.amazing　5.privacy　6.digitise　7.sailor　8.accessible Ⅱ.1.search for　2.set up　3.in her free time　4.find out　5.call for　6.In my opinion　7.come alive　8.was filled with　9.have;in common　10.keep track of Ⅲ.1.It’s foolish/stupid/silly to spend so much time　2.made us very excited　3.It is amazing that　4.That’s why　5.is accessible to tourists Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Meta开发的一款人工智能,它不需要运用英语作为中间语言,而是直接对目标语言进行翻译。 1.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘What I was really interested in was cutting out English as a middle man.Globally there are plenty of countries where they speak two languages that aren’t English,’ says Angela Fan of Meta AI,who led the work.”可知,Angela Fan做这项研究的目的是避免在翻译中使用英语作为中间语言。故选D项。 2.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中“For example,translating from Spanish to Portuguese is extremely strong because Spanish is the second-most spoken first language worldwide,meaning the researchers can get a lot of data.”可知,人工智能很容易将西班牙语翻译为葡萄牙语,其原因是有很多关于西班牙语的数据信息。故选A项。 3.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“ ‘That’s pretty new and different.But it’s hard to know if the AI does a right translation work,’ says Castilho.‘The users may not know the other language,so they cannot judge the correctness of the translation.’”可知,Castilho担心翻译的准确性。故选B项。 4.C　标题归纳题。根据文章第一段内容并结合全文内容可知,本文介绍了Meta开发了一款可以翻译100种语言的人工智能。由此可知,C项 “Meta人工智能可以翻译100种语言中的任意一对”作为文章标题最为合适,符合主旨。故选C项。 Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了现代人由于沉迷于智能手机而给自身带来的各种压力及问题。 1.G　第一段是对“一直在线”这种沉迷于智能手机的各种情况的总结和列举,主要突出人几乎不能与手机脱离。G项也提到了“手机焦虑”问题,起到承上启下的作用。故选G项。 2.A　该段标题为Work-life balance,可知这段的主题就是平衡工作与生活。前文提到“The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if self-controlled usage limits are offended.”,可知本身就表明这个软件的目标便是使生活更加平衡。A项提到了这个软件设置的初衷就是为了平衡生活,解释了该软件的目的。故选A项。 3.D　该段小标题是“Always stressed”,再根据后文的“You are not giving your body time to recover,so you’re always stressed.”可知,人需要一定的时间来从压力中恢复过来。D项提到了“一直在线”给身体和大脑带来的不好的影响。该项符合本段内容,引起下文。故选D项。 4.E　前文讲述你没有给你的身体一些时间来恢复,所以你总是感到压力。久而久之,压力越来越大肯定会影响到我们的身心健康。E项提到身体和精神会因为压力大而受到影响。故选E项。 5.C　该段标题为“Slowdown in decision”,由此判断该段内容肯定与做决定相关,C项提到了且说明“延缓决定”这一问题造成的影响。该项符合文意,起到承上启下的作用。故选C项。 Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统乐器古筝的历史和现状。 1.most popular　考查形容词最高级。分析句子结构可知,此处为形容词作定语修饰名词instruments,根据空前的one of the可知,此处应使用popular的最高级形式。故填most popular。 2.a　考查冠词。此处为固定短语have a history of,意为“拥有……的历史”,所以使用不定冠词a。 3.were found　考查动词时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词,根据The earliest records以及时间状语Warring States Period可知,此处讲述的是过去的事情,应使用一般过去时,find与句子主语The earliest records之间为被动关系,且句子主语为名词复数。故填were found。 4.widely　考查副词。分析句子结构可知,此处为副词作状语修饰动词played,wide副词为widely,意为“广泛地”符合句意。故填widely。 5.With　考查介词。with the help of是固定短语,意为“在……的帮助下”,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填With。 6.designing　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作宾语,spend some time (in) doing sth 意为“花费时间做某事”,故此处应为动词-ing形式,且表示主动意义。故填designing。 7.which/that　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处为关系词引导的限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,所以使用关系代词,先行词instrument指的是物,所以使用关系代词which或者that。故填which或that。 8.to produce　考查非谓语动词。allow sb/sth to do sth 意为“让某人或某物做某事”,所以此处使用动词不定式形式作宾语补足语,produce与宾语the instrument之间为主动关系。故填to produce。 9.that　考查代词。结合句意可知,此处指代的是名词sound,应使用代词that。故填that。 10.performers　考查名词的数。分析句子结构可知,此处为名词作主语,performer为可数名词单数,根据空前的most以及谓语动词use可知,此处应使用名词复数形式。故填performers。 Ⅶ.
