I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position. One day, I took a subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. What happened to me next on the subway has taught me much about culture difference.
Since all the seats were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling on my bag. Assuming I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion, I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash, it was gone. I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or anyone suspicious. My heart began to beat wildly and I began to panic.
I looked around, only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my bag. I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to pull it up, she quickly took it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her, but no one took any notice of the situation. Trying not to cause a scene, I tried to negotiate through gestures. I used my hands as much as I could, but she ignored my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how heavy it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to help me.
At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, setting it on her lap. They didn’t talk; yet this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.
As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off, the woman gently handed me back my bag. But before I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.

A. The writer’s bag was stolen by an elderly lady. B. The writer stood in someone’s way.
C. An old lady asked the writer to sit beside her. D. A stranger offered help to the writer.

A. Feel frightened. B. Feel grateful. C. Feel relaxed. D. Feel ashamed.

B. The passengers on the subway were very unfriendly.
C. Helping standing passengers with heavy bags was common on local subways.
D. There were many thieves on the subway.

Facebook has developed a kind of AI (人工智能) translating between any pair of 100 languages without depending on first translating to English.
Facebook’s system was trained on a data set of 7.5 billion sentence pairs collected from the web across 100 languages, though not all the languages had an equal number of sentence pairs. “What I was really interested in was cutting out English as a middle man. Globally there are plenty of countries where they speak two languages that aren’t English,” says Angela Fan of Facebook AI, who led the work.
For some language pairs, the new system shows prominent improvements in translation quality. For example, translating from Spanish to Portuguese is extremely strong because Spanish is the second-most spoken first language worldwide, meaning the researchers can get a lot of data. Translation between English and Belarusian (白俄罗斯语) also is improved because the AI can translate Russian into English, which shares similarities with Belarusian.
While the system isn’t in use on the social network site, Facebook plans to put it to work soon to manage the 20 billion translations made every day when people click “Translate” on posts (帖子) written in more than 160 languages. “Future work will be done on other languages,” says Fan, “especially for languages where we don’t have a lot of data, like South-East Asian and African languages.”
The work “breaks away from the English-centric models and tries to build more different models,” says Shelia Castilho of the ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University, Ireland. “That’s pretty new and different. But it’s hard to know if the AI does a right translation work,” says Castilho. “The users may not know the other language, so they cannot judge the correctness of the translation.”
12. What’s Angela Fan’s purpose of doing the research
A. To collect data of all kinds of people.
B. To make learning different languages easier.
C. To achieve her dream of becoming a translator.
D. To avoid using English as a middle man in translation.
13. Why is it easy to translate from Spanish to Portuguese by AI
A. There is much data on Spanish.
B. Portuguese is similar to Spanish.
C. Researchers have a good knowledge of the two languages.
D. Spanish is spoken by the largest number of people.
14. What is Castilho worried about
A. The safety of AI translation. B. The correctness of AI translation.
C. The way of using Facebook. D. The number of posts on the website.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Facebook AI Can Talk with the Users
B. Facebook Wants to Buy a New System
C. Facebook AI Can Translate Any Pair of 100 Languages
D. Facebook Has Lost Many Users
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了Facebook开发的一种人工智能，它不需要运用英语作为中间语言，直接对目标语言进行翻译。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据文章第二段关键句““What I was really interested in was cutting out English as a middle man. Globally there are plenty of countries where they speak two languages that aren’t English,” says Angela Fan of Facebook AI, who led the work.”（“我真正感兴趣的是放弃英语作为中间语言。在全球范围内，有很多国家的人们会说两种语言，而不是英语，”领导这项工作的Facebook AI的安吉拉·范说）可知， Angela Fan做这项研究的目的是避免在翻译中使用英语作为中间语言。故选D项。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段关键句“For example, translating from Spanish to Portuguese is extremely strong because Spanish is the second-most spoken first language worldwide, meaning the researchers can get a lot of data.”（例如，从西班牙语到葡萄牙语翻译非常强大，因为西班牙语是世界上第二大第一语言，这意味着研究人员可以获得大量数据）可知，人工智能很容易将西班牙语翻译为葡萄牙语是因为有很多关于西班牙语的数据信息。故选A项 。
3.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句““That’s pretty new and different. But it’s hard to know if the AI does a right translation work,” says Castilho. “The users may not know the other language, so they cannot judge the correctness of the translation.””（“这是非常新和不同的。但我们很难知道AI的翻译是否正确。”Castilho说道。“用户可能不懂另一种语言，所以他们无法判断翻译的正确性。”）可知，Castilho担心翻译的准确性。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容“Facebook has developed a kind of AI translating between any pair of 100 languages without depending on first translating to English.”（Facebook开发了一种人工智能，可以在100种语言之间进行翻译，而不需要首先翻译成英语）并结合全文内容可知，本文介绍了Facebook开发了一种可以翻译100种语言的人工智能。故 “Facebook AI Can Translate Any Pair of 100 Languages”（Facebook人工智能可以翻译100种语言 ）作为文章标题最为合适，符合主旨。故选C项。

I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position. One day, I took a subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. What happened to me next on the subway has taught me much about culture difference.
Since all the seats were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling on my bag. Assuming I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion, I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash, it was gone. I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or anyone suspicious. My heart began to beat wildly and I began to panic.
I looked around, only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my bag. I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to pull it up, she quickly took it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her, but no one took any notice of the situation. Trying not to cause a scene, I tried to negotiate through gestures. I used my hands as much as I could, but she ignored my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how heavy it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to help me.
At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, setting it on her lap. They didn’t talk; yet this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.
As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off, the woman gently handed me back my bag. But before I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.

A. The writer’s bag was stolen by an elderly lady. B. The writer stood in someone’s way.
C. An old lady asked the writer to sit beside her. D. A stranger offered help to the writer.

A. Feel frightened. B. Feel grateful. C. Feel relaxed. D. Feel ashamed.
10. What can we infer from the writer’s experience
A. The middle-aged woman and the elderly woman were good friends.
B. The passengers on the subway were very unfriendly.
C. Helping standing passengers with heavy bags was common on local subways.
D. There were many thieves on the subway.
11. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage

Facebook has developed a kind of AI (人工智能) translating between any pair of 100 languages without depending on first translating to English.
Facebook’s system was trained on a data set of 7.5 billion sentence pairs collected from the web across 100 languages, though not all the languages had an equal number of sentence pairs. “What I was really interested in was cutting out English as a middle man. Globally there are plenty of countries where they speak two languages that aren’t English,” says Angela Fan of Facebook AI, who led the work.
For some language pairs, the new system shows prominent improvements in translation quality. For example, translating from Spanish to Portuguese is extremely strong because Spanish is the second-most spoken first language worldwide, meaning the researchers can get a lot of data. Translation between English and Belarusian (白俄罗斯语) also is improved because the AI can translate Russian into English, which shares similarities with Belarusian.
While the system isn’t in use on the social network site, Facebook plans to put it to work soon to manage the 20 billion translations made every day when people click “Translate” on posts (帖子) written in more than 160 languages. “Future work will be done on other languages,” says Fan, “especially for languages where we don’t have a lot of data, like South-East Asian and African languages.”
The work “breaks away from the English-centric models and tries to build more different models,” says Shelia Castilho of the ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University, Ireland. “That’s pretty new and different. But it’s hard to know if the AI does a right translation work,” says Castilho. “The users may not know the other language, so they cannot judge the correctness of the translation.”
12. What’s Angela Fan’s purpose of doing the research
A. To collect data of all kinds of people.
B. To make learning different languages easier.
C. To achieve her dream of becoming a translator.
D. To avoid using English as a middle man in translation.
13. Why is it easy to translate from Spanish to Portuguese by AI
A There is much data on Spanish.
B. Portuguese is similar to Spanish.
C. Researchers have a good knowledge of the two languages.
D. Spanish is spoken by the largest number of people.
14. What is Castilho worried about
A. The safety of AI translation. B. The correctness of AI translation.
C. The way of using Facebook. D. The number of posts on the website.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Facebook AI Can Talk with the Users
B. Facebook Wants to Buy a New System
C. Facebook AI Can Translate Any Pair of 100 Languages
D. Facebook Has Lost Many Users
