阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean,an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles.The Atlantic has,in a sense,replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.,a short poem written around 700,is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest “Storm at Sea”artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the ocean's breast.As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean,but where it meets land,its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences,too:unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,a kind of sub-ocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities:sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occasions rough and wild;always it is strong and striking.1.Unlike real inland seas,the Atlantic Ocean is ________.A.always energetic B.lacking in livelinessC.shaped like a square D.favored by ancient poets解析细节理解题。

从第一段中的“Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.”可知,liveliness(精力充沛,活跃)与energetic近义,故答案为A项。

答案 A.。

从诗歌下面的一段“As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead anddull.It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.”可知,这首诗主要向我们描述了海洋的强大力量。

答案 C.。

3.What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?A.Living together. B.Growing fast.C.Moving harmoniously. D.Breathing peacefully.解析词义猜测题。

划线单词所在的句子后边用了冒号,后边的内容是对前边句子的解释,从下文“unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony”中的mix within等字眼可知,划线单词意为“共生的”,故A项符合要求。

答案 A.。

4.In the last paragraph,the Atlantic is compared to ________.A.a beautiful and poetic placeB.a flesh and blood personC.a wonderful worldD.a lovely animal解析推理判断题。

从最后一句“It has personalities:sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occasions rough and wild;always it is strong and striking.”中可以看出,大西洋有个性:有时安静,有时野蛮等,把这些用来描绘人的词汇用来描写大西洋,所以此处把大西洋比喻成了一个有血有肉的人。

答案 B.。

In a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English—and allat the same time. This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at USCarnegie Mello n University(CMU)and Germany’s University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be a reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make itfar 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 limitedvocabulary. 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 onwhat language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but withoutdisturbing the person next to you,”Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe (转录) the translations on a tinyliquid-crystal (液晶) display(LCD)screen.Then there’s the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial musclemovements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated intospeech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person’s face, according to researchers.nese student namedDuring a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU’s Pittsburgh campus, a ChiSang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then hemouthed—without speaking aloud—a few words in Mandarin (普通话) to the audience. A fewseconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer inEnglish and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget (器具), when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number oflanguages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea be-cultural exchanges that areuniversity’s prototypes is to create‘good enough’ bridges for crossbecoming more common in the world,”Waibel said.With spontaneous (自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warningson the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders ofdifferent countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.1. Which of the following statements is not true?A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.B.
