Wuldn’t it be wnderful t travel t a freign cuntry withut having t wrry abut the headache f cmmunicating in a different language?
In a recent Wall Street Jurnal article, technlgy plicy expert Alec Rss argued that, within a decade r s, we wuld be able t cmmunicate with ne anther via small earpieces with built-in micrphnes. That’s because technlgical prgress is extremely rapid. It’s nly a matter f time. Indeed, sme parents are s cnvinced that this technlgy is imminent that they’re wndering if their kids shuld learn a secnd language.
It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy f the data laded int cmputers will make them cleverer at translating “N es buen drmir much” int “It’s nt gd t sleep t much”. Replacing a wrd with its equivalent (对应词) in the target language is actually the easy part f a translatr’s jb. But even this seems t be a discuraging task fr cmputers.
It’s s difficult fr cmputers because translatin desn’t—r shuldn’t—invlve simply translating wrds, sentences r paragraphs. Rather, it’s abut translating meaning. And in rder t infer meaning frm a specific expressin, humans have t interpret a mass f infrmatin at the same time. Think abut all the related clues that g int understanding an expressin: vlume, gesture, situatins, and even yur culture. All are likely t cnvey as much meaning as the wrds yu use.
Therefre, we shuld be very sceptical f a machine that is unable t interpret the wrld arund us. If peple frm different cultures can ffend each ther withut realising it, hw can we expect a machine t d better? Unless engineers actually find a way t breathe a sul int a cmputer, undubtedly when it cmes t cnveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take ur place.
l. What des the underlined wrd “imminent” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Ready.
B. Appraching.
C. Unpractical.
D. Cnfusing.
2. Why is it hard fr cmputers t replace a wrd with its equivalent?
A. Because their data is nt adequate enugh.
B. Because the real meaning f wrds can vary.
C. Because their accuracy needs big imprvement.
D. Because a sul hasn’t been breathed in them.
3. What view des the authr hld abut translatin?
A. Prper translatin can be tugh fr humans.
B. Slight distinctins matter little in translatin.
C. Sme machines will interpret ur wrld prperly.
D. Cultures deserve mre attentin than wrds used.
4. What is the best title fr the text?
A. An Expert’s Precise Predictin
B. The Cmplexity f Translatin
C. Wh Will Be a Better Translatr?
D. Will the Language Barrier Actually Fall?

空处作主语，被my first修饰，且根据空后的was可知，此处应用可数名词单数形式。故填impressin。
3. riginally
此处表示许多澳大利亚的食物源于英国。空处作状语，应用词。故填riginally。
4. where
分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Katherine，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词。故填where。
5. but
空处前后是转折关系，故填but。
6. celebrates
空处在定语从句中作谓语，作主语的关系代词which指代先行词music，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填celebrates。
7. spiritual
空处在句中作定语修饰wrld，表示精神世界，应用形容词。故填spiritual。
8. fund
分析句子结构可知，n the grund在句中作后置定语，find与sticks之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词。故填fund。

二、阅读理解
【语篇导读】引本文是一篇议论文。去外国旅行而不用担心语言障碍是不是很美妙？本文以此展开，讨论了通过现代科学技术，语言障碍能不能变小甚至消失的问题。
1. B 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后两句可知，用高科技产品实现交流仅仅是个时间问题，一些父母十分相信这种技术即将来临，以至于他们不知道自己的孩子是否还需要学习第二语言。
2. B 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，翻译不仅仅是翻译单词、句子和段落，确切地说，它是有关意思的转换，为了推断一个具体短语的意思，人类不得不同时理解很多信息，由此可知，单词真正的意思是会随着语境的变化而变化的。
3. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的If peple frm different cultures can ffend each ther withut realising it, hw can we expect a machine t d better?可以推测出，准确的翻译对于人类来说很难。
4. D 标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要讨论了语言障碍会不会变小的问题，故D项作本文标题最佳。
