文章大意】本文简单介绍了中国古诗的一些相关情况。

【1】考查非谓语动词。中国古诗是用古文写的传统中国诗歌。write与poetry之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。

【2】考查名词。空前有形容词close"紧密的",故空处填名词。connection在此表示"(两种事实、观念等的)联系,关联",是可数名词,故填名词的复数形式。

【3】考查动词的时态和语态。document在此表示"记录,记载",是及物动词,document与existence之间是动宾关系,故用被动语态,且此处表示客观事实,要用一般现在时。

【4】考查形容词。存在多种多样的形式和种类的结合体。空处修饰名词combinations,故填形容词Various"多种多样的"。

【5】 考查动词的时态。它们中的很多或者说大部分产生于唐代晚期。arise"产生,出现",是不及物动词,根据时间状语at the end of the Tang Dynasty可知本句用一般过去时。

【6】 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰谓语动词continued,故用副词actively"活跃地"。

【7】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是the year of 1919,空处在从句中作时间状语,故填when。

【8】考查冠词。a great deal of"大量的,许多",是固定搭配,修饰不可数名词,故填a。

【9】 考查代词。空处指代对象是Classical Chinese poetry,且表示"……的",故填its。本空容易误填their,因为考生没有弄清楚文章的逻辑关系,以为空处指代的对象是前面的the key aspects。但是如果这样的话,句意就说不通了。

【10】考查介词。influence"影响"常与介词on/upon连用。

Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape is another unchanging element (元素) of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17thcentury Dutch painters to the 19thcentury romanticists (浪漫主义艺术家 ) and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotions and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides, all art begs the ageold question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the CroMagnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
(1)The underlined word “poetry” most probably means ________.
A.an object for artistic creation
B.a collection of poems
C.an unusual quality
D.a natural scene
(2)Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because ________.
A.they are close in style to works in ancient times
B.they look like works by 19thcentury painters
C.they draw attention to common things in life
D.they depend heavily on color photography
(3)What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?
A.They express people's curiosity about the past.
B.They make people interested in everyday experience.
C.They are considered important for variety in form.
D.They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.
(4)Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A.History of the arts.
B.Basic questions of the arts.
C.New developments in the arts.
D.Use of modern technology in the arts.

【题目】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.

1What 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.

2What 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?

3What is the author’s attitude to the modem technology?

A. Unclear B. Objective

C. Optimistic D. Negative.

4In which column can you read the article in a newspaper?

A. Language Learning. B. Comments on hot issues.

C. Science Development. D. Translation tips.
