试题【完形填空。                                          The True Story of Treasure Island】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
阅读理解。     In a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English
and all at the same time. This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor
at US"s Carnegie
Mellon University (CMU) and Germany"s University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it
may soon be 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 there"s the Muscle Translator. Electrodes (电极) 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 (植入) in a person"s face,
according to researchers.
     During a demonstration (演示) held last Thursday in CMU"s Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student
named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then
he mouthed-without speaking aloud-a 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 (器械), 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
university"s prototypes is to create "good 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. What kind of prototype did the Chinese student named Stan Jou try?A. Lecture Translation.            
B. Translation Glasses.
C. Muscle Translator.            
D. We don"t know.2. What is the purpose of inventing the translators? A. To help students to learn English easily.
B. To help people to watch foreign TV programs without trouble.
C. To help people travel in foreign countries.
D. To promote cultural exchanges between countries.3. What is the best title of this text? A. Speak different languages at the same time
B. Flow to learn to speak foreign languages
C. New ways to learn foreign languages
D. You"re welcome to learn foreign languages

阅读理解。                                56yearold becomes 1st woman to swim Atlantic
     (AP)-Jennifer Figge pressed her toes into the Caribbean sand,excited and exhausted as she
touched land this week for the first time in almost a month.Reaching a beach in Trinidad,she became
the first woman on record to swim across the Atlantic Oceana dream she"d had since the early 1960s,
when a stormy transAtlantic (飞越大西洋) flight got her thinking she could wear a life vest and swim
the rest of the way if needed.
     The 56yearold left the Cape Verde Islands off Africa"s western coast on Jan.12,2009,swimming 19
out of 25 days battling waves of up to 30 feet.The distance from Cape Verde to Trinidad is about 700
miles.Crewmembers are still computing exactly how many miles she swam.
     The original plan was for her to swim to the Bahamasa distance of about 2,100 milesbut inclement
(恶劣的) weather forced her to change her plans and she arrived at Trinidad on Feb.5.She now plans
to swim from Trinidad to the British Virgin Islands,ending her voyage at the Bitter End Yacht Club in
late February.
     Her journey comes a decade after French swimmer Benoit Lecomte made the first known solo
transAtlantic swim,covering nearly 4,000 miles from Massachusetts to France in 73 days.No woman
on record has made the crossing.
     Figge wore a red cap and wet suit,with her only goodluck charm (护身符) underneath:an old,red
shirt to guard against chafing (磨痛),signed by friends,relatives and her father,who recently died.The
other cherished (珍惜) possession she kept onboard was a picture of Gertrude Ederle,an American
who became the first woman to swim across the English Channel."We have a few things in common,
"Figge said."She worea red hat and she was of German descent (血统).We both talked to the sea,
and neither one of us wantedto get out."1.When did Jennifer Figge want to swim across the Atlantic Ocean?A.After she reached a beach in Trinidad.
B.After she pressed her toes into the Caribbean sand.
C.After her stormy transAtlantic flight in the early 1960s.
D.After her graduation from a university.2.Jennifer Figge had to change her plans       .A.because she wanted to shorten her voyage

B.In 1988.        
C.In 1978 .      
D.In 1968.4.For what purpose did Jennifer Figge keep a photo of Gertrude Ederle?A.Figge would like to follow her example.
B.She had the same red cap as Figge always wore.
C.Figge also wanted to swim across the English Channel.
D.They were both born in Germany.

阅读理解。     "A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right," says Mollie Hunter. Born
and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She
firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie"s opinion it is necessary to make   full use of language and   she  enjoys  telling a
story, which is what every writer should be doing. "If you aren"t telling a story, you"re a very dead writer indeed," she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快), Mollie is indeed an entertainer. "I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language," she says. "
This love goes back to early childhood. I"ve told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very
good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said "Nonsense, Mollie, dear, you"ll be a writer." So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good
teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer."
     This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in  the
third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie"s ambition  (理想)
and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地) brought
thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows(草地) and strawberry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses. "I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had
lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I"ll never go back,"she said. "Never.""When I set one of my books
in Scotland,"she said,"I can recall my romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or
watching the village blacksmith at work. And that"s important, because children now know so much so
early that romance can"t exist for them, as it did for us."1. In Mollie Hunter"s opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?  A. Being poor in life experience.     
B. Being short of writing skills.
C. The weakness of description.         
D. The absence of a story.2. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?  A. She didn"t expect to become a writer.
B. She didn"t enjoy writing stories.
C. She didn"t have any particular ambitions.
D. She didn"t respect her teacher"s views.3. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children are      .  A. more intelligent(聪明的)               
B. better informed(见多识广的)
C. less eager to learn                     
D. less interested in reality4. What"s the writer"s purpose in this text? A. To describe Mollie Hunter"s most successful books.   
B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter"s books.
C. To introduce Mollie Hunter"s work to a wider audience.
D. To provide information for Mollie Hunter"s existing readers

阅读理解。     True to their reputation as leisure-loving gourmets(美食家),the French spend more time
sleeping and eating than anyone else among the world"s wealthy nations,according to a study
published on Monday.
     The average French person sleeps almost nine hours every night,more than an hour longer
than Japanese and Korean,who sleep the least in a survey of 18 members of the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).Despite their siesta(午睡)habit,Spaniards
rank only third in the poll after Americans,who sleep more than 8.5 hours.
     And while more and more French people grab a bite at fast-food chains these days or,wolf
down a sandwich at their desk,they still spend more than two hour"s a day eating.
     That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican,who dedicates just
over an hour a day to food,the OECD"s "Society at a Glance" report on work,health and leisure
in Asia,Europe and North and South America found. The Japanese,scrimping (吝啬) on sleep
and burdened with long working hours,still manage to spend close to two hours a day eating and
drinking,placing them third behind New Zealanders.  
     Despite the limited amount of time Americans spend eating each day-about an hour and a
quarter-U.S. obesity肥胖) rates are the highest in the 30 members of OECD.
     The Japanese like to spend what remains of their rare free time watching television or listening
to the radio. This takes up 47 percent of leisure time in Japan. Norwegians spend the most time at
leisure,just over a quarter of their day,while at the low end,Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their
time having fun.  
     The OECD has 30 members. The survey covers only the countries for which appropriate figures
were available.1. According to the text,which of the following spends the most time at sleeping and eating?A. Norwegians.
B. Americans.  
C. The French.
