第三部分：阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
US First Lady Michelle Obama gave a speech at an event on Sept 4. The event was an important one leading up to this year’s US national election. Here are two excerpts.
Part 1
Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it... and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we’re from, or what we look like, or who we love.
And he believes that when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.
When people ask me whether being in the White
House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions (信念), and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago.
He’s the same man who started his career by turning down high-paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work... Because for Barack, success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.
He’s the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs (婴儿床) every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we knew.
That’s the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing (出谋划策) about middle school friendships.
That’s the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched (弯腰驼背) over his desk, poring (仔细阅读) over the letters people have sent him.
Part 2
…but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago, even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met.
I love that he’s never forgotten how he started.
I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he’s going to do, even when it’s hard ? especially when it’s hard.
I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as “us” and “them”. He doesn’t care whether you’re a Democrat (民主党), a Republican (共和党), or none of the above...
And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we’re all sweating it ? when we’re worried that the bill won’t pass, and it seems like all is lost ? Barack never lets himself get distracted (分心) by the chatter (喋喋不休) and the noise.
56. According to Michelle, which of the following is TRUE about Barack Obama?
A. He adopted his values from his family.
B. He made a good career ch
oice by working in a steel plant.
C. He believes that everyone can be successful.
D. He hopes those who succeed open the door of opportunity for others.
57. Through the speech, Michelle Obama tries to show that her husband ______.
a. devotes so much to his work that he seldom has family time
b. hasn’t been affected by power
c. is ready to act in the interest of most people
d. is faithful to his promises
e. is modest and willing to listen
A. abc B. bcd C. acd D. cde
58. What might be Michelle’s main purpose in this speech?
A. To help her husband in his re-election.
B. To get the American people to know more about Obama.
C. To express her love and faith in him.
D. To show American dream is still within people’s reach.
B
IMAGINE if there was a device that could do everything for you ? wake you up every morning, chat with you and type your e-mails.
The piece of technology in question would be smart, able to tell you about the weather and where the nearest restaurants are.
The good thing is you no longer need to wonder, because something like this already exists. And its name is Siri.
Siri is a voice recognition application designed for Apple products and the concept has been around for almost a year.
When Siri first came out it could only speak English, but now it has “learned” lots of new languages, including Chinese, Cantonese and Taiwanese, reported The Wall Street Journal. So, you can give it orders in your mother tongue.
But how could a cell phone or a computer “hear” what you are saying and understand it? This is all because of voice recognition technology.
When you speak, your voice creates vibrations (振动) in the air ? a bit like waves in the water when you throw a rock into the lake. The microphone receives the vibrations and the computer changes them into digital data that is then divided into many parts. They are analyzed one by one to see what
pronunciations each part stands for. The computer then puts these pronunciations together into possible words according to its built-in dictionary.
But figuring out the words is far from enough; building words into meaningful sentences is the most difficult part. The computer has to compare what it hears to a large library of known phrases and sentences to determine what the user is saying.
However, people don’t always talk in the most standard way and sometimes make grammatical mistakes. This is why traditional voice recognition software always requires you to remember keywords and to speak in a certain way.
Fortunately, Siri isn’t like that. It’s not just “voice recognition”; it’s “natural language understanding (NLU)”. You can ask it things like “Do I need an umbrella today?” and it will know that you are asking about the weather, according to ABC News.
“The key thing is NLU ? understanding what you mean and what you want,” Neil Grant from Nuance, a software company in the US, told The Guardian. “Historically, you had to learn a huge long list of commands . As NLU progresses, you can say what you want in a way that’s natural to you.”
59.What is the function of the first two paragraphs?
A. To show that invention usually results from need.
B. To introduce something that offers these helpful services.
C. To clear doubts about voice recognition technology.
D. To picture a convenient future life with new technology.
60. Which step is the most complicated in the process of voice recognition according to the article?
A. Changing the received vibrations into digital data.
B. Analyzing the digital data to see what pronunciations it represents.
C. Putting the pronunciations together into possible words.
D. Figuring out meaningful sentences based on the words.
61. How can you get Siri to respond according to the article?
A. You have to say things in a certain way.
B. You can only speak English and Chinese.<
BR>C. You can speak in a natural way as you would to a person.
D. You have to remember keywords and speak specific commands.
62. What can be concluded from the article?
A. Siri can record and save what you say frequently into a computer dictionary.
B. Siri will fail to understand what you say if you make grammatical mistakes.
C. The biggest advantage of Siri is that it’s NLU rather than just voice recognition.
D. Since first applied to Apple products a year ago, Siri has made great improvements.
C
JAPAN’S “purchase” of the Diaoyu Islands has sparked anger among Chinese people. Protests broke out across the country, sending a strong message to the world: the Diaoyu Islands belong to China.
It is necessary that we do not just shout slogans (口号) but can convince others with reason. Some historical facts can help explain why the Diaoyu Islands belong to China.
Terra nullius
Japan’s claim: “The Senkaku Islands (Japanese name for the Diaoyu Islands) were ‘terra nullius’ before Japan discovered them.”
Fact: In 1884, a Japanese explorer named Tatsushiro Koga landed on the Diaoyu Islands and claimed that they were “terra nullius”.
After receiving Koga’s application to exploit (开发) the islands, the Japanese government investigated (调查) and concluded that these islands were already recorded in Chinese documents. It turned down Koga’s application. These facts are recorded in Japan Diplomatic Documents.
However, in 1895 Japan decided that they were uninhabited (无人居住的) and illegally controlled the islands.
Japan argues that according to international law, territory without an owner may be acquired by a state.
But being “uninhabited” doesn’t mean the islands had no owner.
The Diaoyu Islands were within China’s maritime defense sphere (海防范围) as early as the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and have been part of China’s Taiwan. Chinese fishermen have long conducted activity on these islands and in neighbo
ring waters.
Underhand exchange
Japan’s claim: “Under the 1951 Treaty of San Francisco, the Senkaku Islands came under US trusteeship (托管) and were then returned to Japan in 1971, under the Okinawa Reversion Agreement (《归还冲绳协定》).”
Fact: At the end of the S ino-Japanese War (1894-1895), Japan seized the Diaoyu Islands. It forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki (《马关条约》) and give up “the Taiwan Islands and their affiliated islands”.
At the end of World War II, the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation ruled that China recovered Taiwan, the Penghu Islands and other territories Japan had occupied before. The Diaoyu Islands were returned to China according to international law.
However, in 1951 Japan and the US, along with other countries, signed the Treaty of San Francisco unilaterally (单方面地), putting the Ryukyu Islands (currently the Okinawa Islands, 冲绳群岛) under US administration.
In 1953, the Okinawa Civil Government of the US illegally expanded the area of its administration to include the Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islands.
In 1971 in the Okinawa Reversion Agreement, the US unilaterally passed administrative power over the Diaoyu Islands to Japan.
China has never recognized it. This underhand exchange of China’s territory between Japan and the US is illegal and invalid (无效的) since China didn’t take part in any treaty’s preparation, making and signing.
Actual control
Japan’s claim: “In 1896, the Japanese government ‘leased (租用)’ part of the Senkaku Islands to Tatsushiro Koga to explore for 30 years for free. In 1918 his son inherited (继承) it. So Japan has had actual control over the islands.”
Fact: The Japanese government “leased” and then “sold” part of them to the Koga family in 1932.
After that, the US military base in Okinawa and the Japanese government have been “renting” the islets (小岛) from their “private owners”.
On Sept 11 the government “b
ought” the islets from current “private owners”.
Japan wants to prove that it has had “actual control” over the Diaoyu Islands to eventually occupy them.
Yet, the truth is that Japan is “renting”, “selling” and “buying” things that belong to others.
All facts prove that the Diaoyu Islands are part of China.
