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 Microsoft’s 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 (得出结论) that the
system's 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 system's translation abilities. “Much of our
research is really inspired (得到启发) by how we humans do things.” lead researcher Liu Tieyan
said.
Experts used one method called dual learning (对偶学习). 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).
Later they made use of deliberation networks (推敲网络).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 (修改) their own
writing by going through it again and again.
34. Microsoft created a system that can_________.
A. make phone calls B. give people directions
C. play games with people D. translate news articles
35. 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. It's hard to tell whether the translations were correct
36. Which order is right according to the passage?
① Researchers taught the system to revise the process of translating again and again.
②Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system.
③Experts used dual learning to make sure their translations are accurate.
④Researchers tested machine translation system by asking it to translate stories.
A.③①②④ B. ②④③① C. ①④③② D.②③①④
37. 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.
C
Together with her mother and baby sister, a girl is sorting (分拣) waste by hand. The waste
in front of her, mainly plastic bottles and metals, looks like a small mountain.
This is a scene in the town of Guiyu, Guangdong Province. Workers there recycle millions of
tons of imported (进口的) waste (also called “foreign garbage”) every year. Dealing with the
waste - much of which is toric (有毒的) - has led to illness, the Economic Information Daily reported.
But this is expected to change. China has banned (禁止) solid waste imports since the beginning
of this year. The ban includes 24 kinds of waste, such as plastics and unsorted paper. These
materials come from countries like the US and UK.
China began importing solid waste in 1980 because the country didn't have enough raw materials
(原材料), China News service reported. Each year, about 45 million tons of waste arrives in
China. After being processed (加工), it can be turned into materials that can be used to make
products, such as chairs and bags. Countries that send such waste to China pay the country about
$25 to $50 (158 to 316yuan) per ton for recycling.
However, importing this waste has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can't be used
is either burned or buried. Water that is used to wash the waste is allowed to flow into nearby
rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health. In addition,
the amount of waste produced by China itself has increased rapidly. More Chinese recycling
companies are finding ways to recycle this waste and get more raw materials, China Daily noted.
38. Why did our country import solid waste in the past?
A. Because China needed raw materials
B. Because China is large enough to bury the waste
C. Because China could make money from it
D. Because China had the technology needed to recycle it.
39. What does the underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?
A.津贴 B.益处 C.难题 D.污染
40. What can we infer from the story?
A. Recycling waste is easy.
B. Foreign waste is more harmful than local waste.
C. Chairs and bags are all made from waste.
D. China had been importing waste for over 30 years.
41. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. China no longer accepts waste. B. Foreign waste banned
C. Chinese ban on plastic waste D. A proposal (提议) to ban foreign waste
D
Outside the supermarket Mrs Green’s dog Bluebell was tied up and waited for her owner. William

“Will you get me some dog food, William?” said Jenny.
“Will you push my trolley for me, William?” said Tim.
“I don't want to talk about it, ”said William.“William doesn't like being in CIA,” said Jenny.

“Thanks, Mr Graham.” said Tim.
William stared at Tim and then at Tim's poster. The poster said simply: No mess! No mess!
Keep Arkwright Tidy.
“Come on, Tim,” he said. “Let’s go for a run in the park. I’m tired of all this Student
of the Year stuff (无用的东西).”
“Look at me, ” shouted William. “I bet you can't do this.”
William was swinging (摇摆) like a monkey from a wooden arch (拱门) at the entrance to the
rose garden.
“Get down, William,” Said Tim. “The gardener will see you.”
“Come on, Tim. Don't be scared,” shouted William.
“I'm not scared. It just looks...”
Before Tim could finish speaking, there was a loud creaking (嘎吱声) sound. The wood started
to bend. Then, the arch broke completely and William was on the ground with the wood lying in
fragments (碎片) all around him.
“It just looks... a bit dangerous,” said Tim.
“Ouch!” said William.
“William, you've broken it! You've broken the arch. You're going to be in really big trouble.
“Don’t worry,” said William. “It’s not a big deal. These things happen all the time. Now
it’s your turn, Tim. I dare (敢) you. What are you going to do?”
“Nothing.” said Tim.
“Come on, Tim. You never do anything. You’re just too scared. You've got to do something.”

请阅读下面短文，在短文后表格中的空白处填上适当的单词 (注意：每空 1 个单词)。
If anyone can be called a scientific giant after Albert Einstein, that person must be Stephen
Hawking (霍金). On March14, the world-famous British scientist died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.
Hawking was found to have a serious illness when he was 21. It stopped him from walking and
talking. He had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” using a computerized voice. However, his
illness could not stop him from achieving great things. He built theories (理论) that shaped modern
cosmology (宇宙学). He explained that the universe began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and will end
in black holes (黑洞). Black holes suck up (吸进) everything around them -even light - with their
strong gravity (重力). Hawking’s theories became the base for a lot of other research. “My goal
is simple,” he once said. “It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is
and why it exists at all.”
Hawking also made great efforts to help others understand the universe. He wrote A Brief History
of Time (《时间简史》), which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world. In the
book, he explains the start and end of the universe using simple language. He also wrote books
for children, like George and The Big Bang (《乔治的宇宙大爆炸》). They help kids learn about
space.
Hawking was also a great father. He had three children. He passed on three pieces of advice
to them. Always keep working, because work gives purpose and meaning in life. Always look at the
stars, never look down at your feet. If you are lucky enough, you will find love. Never throw
it away. Hawking has left us. But just as his children said after his death, Hawking’s works
and legacy (遗志) will live on for many years.
