People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did，but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did，cutting the amount of fatty，salty and sweet foods.21The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate_.A. more foods as humans living 10,000 years ago didBas many kinds as humans living 10,000 years ago ateCmore kinds of food eaten by people living over 10,000 years agoDmore of the same kinds of foods eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago解析：选D。由第一段可知答案。22New kinds of sicknesses have been found because_.A. the human body has changed pared with human first appeared on earthBthe way we live has changed a littleCour body cant deal with the changes in lifestylesDthe way we live today are proper for the human body解析：选C。由第二段中间：Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses.可知选C项。23What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people today suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?AAncient people did a great deal of physical exercise.BFood is quite different between life today and life in ancient times.CPeople today have more tobacco.DPeople today have a lot of alcohol.解析：选B。由第三段最后一句可知答案。24Stoneage people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of_.A. wild animals，fresh wild vegetables and fruitsBgrain foods and farm animalsCsalt and sugarDmilk and other dairy products解析：选A。由第四段可知选A项。25.From this article，we know that_are not good to our health.Aprotein and vitamin CBmilk and grain foods Ca huge amount of fatty，salty and sweet foods Dwild animals，vegetables and fruits解析：选C。由最后一段结束句可知选C项。BIn a few years，you might be able to speak Chinese，Korean，Japanese，French，and English and all at the same time.This sounds incredible，but Alex Waibel，a puter science professor at USs Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germanys University of Karlsruhe，announced last week that it may soon be reality.He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.One application，called Lecture Translation，can easily translate a speech from one language into another.Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary.Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.Another prototype (雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak.“It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you，” Waibel said.Prefer to read? Socalled Translation Glasses transcribe(转录)the translations on a tiny liquidcrystal (液晶) display (LCD) screen.Then theres the Muscle Translator.Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words.The signals are then translated into speech.The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a persons face，according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMUs Pittsburgh campus，a Chinese student named Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks，neck and throat.Then he mouthed without speaking aloud a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience.A few seconds later，the phrase was displayed on a puter screen and spoken out by the puter in English and Spanish：“ Let me introduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget (器械)，when fully developed，might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or，as Waibel put it，“to switch your mouth to a foreign language”“The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to create good enoughbridges for crosscultural exchanges that are being more mon in the world，”Waibel said.With spontaneous(自发的)translators，foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio，tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people，and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.26Which of the following statements is not true? AA lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily. BMuscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth. CThere is no Muscle Translator in the world now. DThe spontaneous translators will help us a lot.解析：选C。事实细节题。根据文章第六段可知C项是错误的。 27.What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage? ALecture Translation. BMultiple Translator. CMuscle Translator. DTranslation Prototype.解析：选B。事实细节题。第二段中提到了Lecture Translation，第三段提到了prototype，第五段又提到Muscle Translator，因而没有被提到的应该是B项。28Whats the final destination of inventing the language translators?ATo make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.BTo help students learn foreign languages more easily.CTo make people live in foreign countries more fortably.DTo help people learn more foreign languages in the future.解析：选A。主旨大意题。由倒数第二段“The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to creategood enoughbridges for crosscultural exchanges that are being more mon in the world.”(隐藏在雏形机背后的理念是为今后世界上越来越普遍的跨文化交流搭建足够好的桥梁。)可以推断出A项就是发明翻译器的真正目的。29What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?AThe translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.BThe translator is being more and more mon in the world as a bridge.CWith the help of the translator，you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.DThe translator needs to be improved before being put into market.解析：选D。推理判断题。倒数第二段中的“This particular gadget，when fully developed.”意为“当这种特别的器械得以充分的改进时，”由此可以推知，目前这种器械尚在发展完善之中。30Where can this passage probably be excerpted from?AA newspaper. BA magazine on science.CA fairy tale. DA scientific fantasy book.解析：选B。推理判断题。这篇文章是有关科技发明成果的阐述，根据常识，它极有可能会节选自科学杂志。
