As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher would see me.

Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a card folded（折叠的）in half, wrote their names in bold（粗体）with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”
“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”

I have always been fascinated by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel about animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it.
The book tells the story of five male lions. They are driven out of their home and begin their adventure (冒险). Unluckily, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water with a rhino. The fourth lion drowns (淹死). Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, is still alive. After going through many difficulties, he finally becomes the lion king.
The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death faced by brothers, the determination to deal with challenges, and the love for life. The fact that the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those who cannot defeat (打败) you will make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and continue to find our better selves.
The book is filled with exciting details about the life of lions. Together with vivid pictures, it gives readers an immersive (沉浸的) experience. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about the animals in the real world. I highly recommend it!

2. How does the fourth lion die in the book
A. It dies in a fight for water. B. It is killed by a hunter.
C. It is killed by a giraffe. D. It drowns.
3. What has the writer learned from the book
A. What brings passion to life.
B. We should face up to difficulties and be better selves.
C. We should defeat people who challenge us.
D. How to make friends.
4. Why does the writer recommend this book
A. Because it has great pictures drawn by famous painters.
B. Because it tells people how to protect animals and the environment.
C. Because it teaches readers lots of scientific knowledge.
D. Because it offers a good reading experience with vivid pictures.

Facebook has developed（研发） the first machine learning model and it can translate（翻译）between any two of 100 languages without going into English first. Facebook says the new machine translation model was created to help its more than two billion（十亿） users worldwide. The company is still testing the translation model and hopes to add it to different products（产品） in the future.
Angela Fan, a researcher at Facebook, introduced the new machine translation model this week on one of the company’s websites. She said the model brings better results than other machine learning systems that depend on（依靠） English to help in translation. The other systems use English as a middle step —like a bridge — to translate between two non-English languages.
One example would be a translation from Chinese to French. Fan noted that many machine translation models begin by translating from Chinese to English first, and then from English to French. This is done “because English is most widely used,” she said. But such a way can lead to mistakes in translation.
Facebook says about two-thirds of its users communicate in a language that is not English. The company already does about 20 billion translations every day on its website. But it faces a huge test with many users speaking out large numbers of words in more than 160 languages.
The development team trained（培训） the new model on 7. 5 billion sentence pairs for 100 languages. In addition, the system was trained on a total of 2,200 language directions. Facebook said this is 10 times the number on the best machine translation models in the past.
1. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to（指代）
A. Developing machine learning models.
B. Translating Chinese into different languages.
C. Using English as a middle step.
D. Communicating on the Facebook.
2. According to the passage which of the following about the new model is NOT true
A. It does not depend on English in translation.
B. It makes fewer mistakes in translation.
C. It is now used by more than two billion people.
D. It was trained much more than the models in the past.
3. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Facebook’s first machine learning model.
B. How to translate languages without using English.
C. Different kinds of machine translation models.
D. The hard work Facebook does to develop the new model.

I have always been fascinated by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel about animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it.
The book tells the story of five male lions. They are driven out of their home and begin their adventure (冒险). Unluckily, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water with a rhino. The fourth lion drowns (淹死). Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, is still alive. After going through many difficulties, he finally becomes the lion king.
The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death faced by brothers, the determination to deal with challenges, and the love for life. The fact that the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those who cannot defeat (打败) you will make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and continue to find our better selves.
The book is filled with exciting details about the life of lions. Together with vivid pictures, it gives readers an immersive (沉浸的) experience. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about the animals in the real world. I highly recommend it!

Facebook has developed（研发） the first machine learning model and it can translate（翻译）between any two of 100 languages without going into English first. Facebook says the new machine translation model was created to help its more than two billion（十亿） users worldwide. The company is still testing the translation model and hopes to add it to different products（产品） in the future.
Angela Fan, a researcher at Facebook, introduced the new machine translation model this week on one of the company’s websites. She said the model brings better results than other machine learning systems that depend on（依靠） English to help in translation. The other systems use English as a middle step —like a bridge — to translate between two non-English languages.
One example would be a translation from Chinese to French. Fan noted that many machine translation models begin by translating from Chinese to English first, and then from English to French. This is done “because English is most widely used,” she said. But such a way can lead to mistakes in translation.
Facebook says about two-thirds of its users communicate in a language that is not English. The company already does about 20 billion translations every day on its website. But it faces a huge test with many users speaking out large numbers of words in more than 160 languages.
The development team trained（培训） the new model on 7. 5 billion sentence pairs for 100 languages. In addition, the system was trained on a total of 2,200 language directions. Facebook said this is 10 times the number on the best machine translation models in the past.
1. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to（指代）
A. Developing machine learning models.
B. Translating Chinese into different languages.
C. Using English as a middle step.
D. Communicating on the Facebook.
2. According to the passage which of the following about the new model is NOT true
A. It does not depend on English in translation.
B. It makes fewer mistakes in translation.
C. It is now used by more than two billion people.
D. It was trained much more than the models in the past.
3. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Facebook’s first machine learning model.
B. How to translate languages without using English.
C. Different kinds of machine translation models.
D. The hard work Facebook does to develop the new model.
【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A
【解析】本文介绍了脸书研发的第一个机器学习模型。
1推理判断题。根据“One example would be a translation from Chinese to French.Fan noted that many machine translation models begin by translating from Chinese to English first, and then from English to French. ”可知很多翻译模式想将中文翻译成法语，会先将中文翻译成英文，然后再翻译成法语。这是将英语当成中间步骤。故选C。
2推理判断题。根据“The company is still testing the translation model and hopes to add it to different products（产品）in the future.”可知这个翻译模式还在测试中，现在并没有被用户使用。故选C。
3主旨大意题。根据“Facebook has developed（研发） the first machine learning model and it can translate（翻译）between any two of 100 languages without going into English first. ”可知本文主要介绍脸书第一个机器学习模型。故选A。
