21、Have you ever imagined traveling to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so, we’ll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built - in microphones. That’s because technological progress is extremely rapid. It’s only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents firmly hold the idea that this technology is approaching and they’re wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.
It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It’s not good to sleep too much.” Replacing a word with its equivalent (同义词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator’s job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.
It’s so difficult for computers because translation doesn’t--or shouldn’t--involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.
Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression：volume，gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.
Therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.
【1】What view does the author hold about translation?
A．Proper translation can be tough for humans.
B．Slight differences matter little in translation.
C．Some machines will interpret our world properly.
D．Cultures deserve more attention than words used.
【2】What is the best title for the text?
A．An Expert’s Precise Prediction
B．The Complexity of Translation
C．Who Will Be a Better Translator
D．Will Language Barrier Actually Disappear?
【3】What is the author’s attitude to the modern technology?
A．Unclear
B．Objective
C．Optimistic
D．Negative.
【4】In which column can you read the article in a newspaper?
A．Language Learning.
B．Comments on hot issues.
C．Science Development.
D．Translation tips.
22、A new type of rechargeable battery can rapidly produce charges in large quantities even at-70° Celsius, a temperature where the typical lithium-ion(锂离子) batteries that power many of today's devices don't work. Batteries that bear such extremely cold conditions could help build electronics that function in some of the coldest places on Earth or on other planets.
Inside lithium-ion batteries, ions flow between positive and negative electrodes(电极), where the ions are fixed and then set free to travel back through a substance called an electrolyte(电解质) to the other end. As the temperature drops, the ions move slowly through the electrolyte. The cold also makes it hard for lons to get rid of the electrolyte material that sticks onto them. As they cross the battery, ions must cast the matter to fit into the electrode material, explains a battery researcher at Fudan University. At-40℃, conventional lithium-ion batteries deliver about 12 percent of the charge they do at room temperature; at-70℃, they don't work at all.
The new battery contains a special kind of electrolyte that allows ions to flow easily between electrodes even in the bitter cold. The researchers also fitted their battery with electrodes made of organic compounds(有机化合物) rather than the typical transition-metal-rich materials. lons can flow freely in this organic material without having to get rid of the electrolyte material attached to them. So these organic electrodes catch and release ions more easily than electrodes in normal batteries, even at low temperatures, Dong says.
Because the ions flow better and connect more readily with the electrodes at low temperatures, the new battery keeps about 70 percent of its room-temperature charging capacity even at-70℃. Still, battery cells in the new design pack less energy per gram than standard lithium-ion batteries, says Shirley Meng, a material scientist in California. She would like to see whether a more energy-dense(能量密度高的) version of the battery can be built.
【1】We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the new battery___________.
A．is applied to most of the electronics
B．can work longer than lithium-ion batteries
C．will replace lithium-ion batteries in the future
D．makes using electronics possible in extreme cold
【2】Why is temperature the key factor for lithium-ion batteries to work well?
A．Because it's hard for ions to fit into electrodes at low temperatures.
B．Because electrolytes can't conduct electricity in the cold.
C．Because electrodes are unstable in too hot temperatures.
D．Because lons don't move at low temperatures.
【3】What's the advantage of electrodes made of organic compounds?
A．Containing more ions.
B．Making ions more active.
C．Making the battery rechargeable.
D．Casting more electrolyte materials.
【4】More efforts will be made towards improving the new battery so that it can ___________.
A．have a longer life
B．carry more energy
C．charge more quickly
D．be easier to get
23、Procrastination is often seen as the enemy of productivity. Images of lazy people with feet up on desks or wasting time to avoid work spring to mind at the very mention of the word. And there are many things indicating that procrastination is a problem which needs addressing. 【1】
We live in a fast-paced world, racing from one task to another. And at times, duties, be it work or personal, seem endless. Sometimes we just need to switch off and relax ourselves.【2】
According to psychotherapist F Diane Barth, watching TV, taking a long bath or listening to music can help us to ease off.
And it's possible that procrastination has become more common during the pandemic.【3】We don't have the hours of commutes or options of social activities we once took for granted. Being at home, we have found that extra relaxation can help us to be more productive or creative in the long run, allowing us to clear our minds and focus better.
【4】 And we almost develop a sense of guilt related to not making the most of every moment. German sociologist Max Weber says that we've almost got to the point of believing that the busier we are, the better, and that there is a sense of morality connected with time usage. It seems important to remember that taking a little time away from yourself doesn't mean being lazy.
While being productive is important, it seems that some amount of downtime and procrastination can help us to relax and become more focused.【5】 You might just like it
A．Then how can we handle the problem?
B．But could there be some benefits too?
C．So the next time you feel stressed, just waste a little time.
D．The time we spend watching TV or drinking coffee is wasted.
E．The issue is that many of us see that time not working as lost time.
F．As a result of the lockdowns, we have found ourselves with more time.
G．A little procrastination can help relieve us of the pressures of modem life.
24、When Dawn Bonfield, the former chief executive of the Women's Engineering Society, ran a stand recently at a big military air show, she was in for a shock.
There were around 900 Brownies among the crowd and Ms Bonfield says, "I'm saying to all these girls, 'Do you know about engineering, would you like to be an engineer, have you thought about engineering?' And in the whole day... probably five or six of them said yes. Every other one said no, just straight out no."
What surprised her most, she says, is that it wasn't that these eight and nine-year-old girls didn't know what engineering was. Simply that they had already switched off. They had lost interest in engineering. "So how much work does it take to change that?" asks Ms Bonfield. "I mean it's huge."
There's no shortage of data to back up her estimation of the scale of work required. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show that women make up around just 8% of engineers in the UK. And this is at a time when the UK needs to produce thousands more engineers, so much so that the inventor, Sir James Dyson, is planning to open his own instituteto address the skills shortage.
Not enough female role models is well documented as a reason why girls don’t choose engineering.
The attitude of parents was also an important factor in career choices. For girls, perhaps unsurprisingly, mothers were particularly influential.
"My mum was a bit iffy about it at first because she was more like, 'Girls should do this and that and the other,' more like 'keep your posture up and be ladylike'," says middle school student Hannah. "But my dad used to build a lot of stuff and he got me into that. So after my mum saw how me and my dad interacted she said, 'Yeah, go for it' and she's kind of the one who supported me with this."
【1】 What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show the shortage of girls in engineering.
B. To introduce some famous girl engineers.
C. To promote the social status for engineers.
D. To give girls advice on how to select careers.
【2】What does the underlined word “Brownies” in the Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Chocolate cakes. B. Young girls.
C. Girls with brown hair. D. Students in brown.
【3】What shocked Dawn Bonfield most?
A. There were so many girls at the show.
B. Many girls had run off before seeing her.
C. Girls didn’t know anything about engineering.
D. Girls paid no attention to engineering.
【4】 Why did Hannh finally choose engineering?
A. Because she found a woman role model.
B. Because her mother was sure of her future.
C. Because her father had influence on her.
D. Because she wanted to meet the demand of society.
25、There isn’t any doubt that positive thinking is valuable after you find out you have cancer. But will positive ________ help the cancer go away?
There have been a number of studies on this ________, but none of the studies say that positive thinking is a ________ in helping cancer go away, or that ________ feelings can make cancer worse.
So, is there a reason to have a positive ________? Of course there is.
While I understand the danger of my illness, I choose not to ________ statistics. I always imagine myself as being among the small group of patients who survive. ________ do I do that? So I can sleep well; so I can plan a trip for two days from now; so I have a reason to begin writing another book with the ________ that I’ll finish it; so my husband and I can enjoy lunch out; so I can ________ to someone else who is having a difficult time and offer them ________.
A positive attitude can also help family members feel better so they can ________ a more loving family environment. Most cancer patients, as well as their family members, know all too well how dangerous cancer can be. It’s difficult to ________ when patients receive bad news. But a positive attitude helps me want to do things that I know are ________ to my health, and helps me ________ the thinning hair, tiredness and low blood counts which are the ________ effects of my treatment.
So, I ________ to stay happy and positive. I do my best not to think too much about all the hospital visits, and I try not to ________ if I feel any pain. ________, I seek joy as much as I can, and because I am seeking joy, I find joy. Being positive might not save you from cancer, but I can almost ________ you that if you are positive, you will find ________ in your life, as well as happiness in every day that you live.
