第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

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 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 in a person's face, according to researchers.

During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Sang Jun 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.

41. Which of the following statements is not true ?

A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.

B. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.

C. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.

D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.

42. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?

A. Lecture Translation.         B. Multiple Translator.

C. Muscle Translator.        D. Translation Prototype.

43. What's the final destination of inventing the language translators?

A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.

B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.

C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.

D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.

44. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?

A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.

B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.

C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.

D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.

45. Where can this passage probably be excerpted from?

A. A newspaper.            B. A magazine on science.

C. A fairy tale.               D. A scientific fantasy book.

Each of us would like to believe that we’re immune to the effects of advertising and commercialism. Yet are we really immune? A lot of evidence suggests that we are influenced by advertising and commercialism. Think about the nationally-advertised products we buy, the style of our clothes, the kinds of food we eat. In these ways and others, our lives reflect the ads around us.

Some people are concerned about all the advertising we’re exposed to. They feel that the constant message trying to persuade us to buy influences us in ways that are not to our benefit. One concern is that the message trying to persuade us to buy overshadows other messages about helping each other, caring for our environment, and contributing to the community.

Commercialism has clear parallels with industrial pollution. For decades we failed to recognize, let alone control, the harm caused by industrial practices. In some cases, such as air pollution from coal-burning factories, the problems were obvious but were either ignored or judged on the basis of short-term economic gain. In other cases, such as poisonous chemicals that pollute the air and water, the dangers were not even recognized. So it is with commercialism: We excuse its obvious defects(缺点) in the name of economic progress; we don’t even try to identify its more subtle effects.

Again as with pollution several decades ago, the consequences of excessive commercialism remain unexamined and unproven. Despite the dominance（主导） of commercialism in our culture, social scientists have barely begun to explore its nature and consequences. Moreover, government regulatory programs are inadequate to contain commercialism.

What, then, is the impact on our society, when, as Advertising Age wrote, “mass-media advertising explodes out of a shotgun and sprays everyone in its path, kids included”? And beyond advertising,what are the effects of living in a culture where even schools, musuems, sports ans non-commercial broadcasters have been commercialized? Does commercialim turn engaged citizens into mere consumers?

46. What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A.The effects of commercialism

B.The influence of ads on us.

C. The relationship between ads and commercialism

D.People’s attitudes towards ads and commercialism

47. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. People are immune to the effects of advertising and commercialism

B.People are greatly influenced by advertising and commercialism

C. Advertising and commercialism is a necessary part of life

D.Advertising and commercialism satisfies our needs

48. The author believes that commercialism_______.

A. is necessary for economic gain

B. should be stopped by the government

C. can’t dominate our culture

D. brings about industrial pollution

49. The author’s tone when talking about social scientists is _____.

A. approving B. critical C. understandable D. ironic

50 The last paragragh is mainly intended to show the author’s _________

A. concern    B. doubt   C. disappointment D. dissatisfaction

 

 (C)

The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.

Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.

Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.

The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.

To raise money for the idea, he toured the city’s private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around £500,000 to MyHabs and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.

Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.

For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhabs team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.

The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.

51. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents _______.

 A. economically desirable                           B. favorable to the environment

 C. for holding music performances             D. designed for disaster relief

52. Mr. Dunlop established his business        .

 A. independently with an interest-free loan from Mint

 B. with the approval of the City’s administration

 C. in partnership with a finance group

 D. with the help of a Japanese architect

53. It is implied in the passage that _______.

 A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summer

 B. most performances at British festivals are given in the open air

 C. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailored

D. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users.

54. The passage is mainly concerned with        .

A. an attempt at developing recyclable tents

B. some efforts at making full use of cardboards

C. an unusual success of a graduation project

  D. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals

55. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Don’t Use Tents Again

B. The Advantages of Tents

C. How to Produce Tents

D. The Development of Recyclable Tents

第二节 读写任务 (共1小题,满分25分)

 

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

 The generation gap between students and their teachers is becoming more significant with only 3.3 percent out of a survey group of 1,000 students from 30 key middle schools in the city saying they would be willing to tell their teachers of their inner thoughts.

In today’s educational environment, teachers are positioned to be the authority figure for learning instead of becoming good friends in the life of students.

As only students with good marks in exams are considered the “apples in the eyes” of the teachers, most students think their teachers to be partial（偏心）.

“I feel sad to hear such remarks,” said Yu Yi, a well-known special-class teacher.

She recalled that in the past, teachers and students would play basketball together or comment on novels while sitting on the grass during a break. But today, study and good marks are the only topics of conversation between students and teachers.

“Schools are not only the place where knowledge is imparted（传授）, but also where students are taught how to be an upright person,” Yu said. “The success of a person is not merely determined by intelligence but also by emotional state.”

Yang Xiong, director of the Juvenile Research Institute, said the educational system which focuses on examinations should be held to be substantially responsible.
