Here are some hotels in Brazil.Whitepod Hotel The hotel was built in 1998 using local wood and it was filled with local artworks and furniture. You can find hundreds of local plant species in the gardens here. There are only ten rooms here going for US $ 183 a night including meals, beverages, snacks and a local guide. A good deal indeed.Free Spirit Hotel The popularity of the beach started way back in the 1970s, when surfers（冲浪者）from all over the world discovered the waves here. Today, a lot of people are also gathering here to see sea turtles and dolphins. Besides, a lot of materials used to build the hotel were recycled stuff. This hotel has thirty one rooms. It costs US$ 180 per night to stay.Ice Hotel The rooms here are named after colors, so you can expect it to sound like a rainbow when you hear the staff talking about their rooms. The furniture is mostly hand-crafted. It is a winner in terms of its location, since it is in the historic colonial （殖民的）town of Parati, half way between Rio de Janerio and Sao Paulo. It does not have a restaurant, but you can order some food to bring to your room. The hotel only has nine rooms, which you can get for US$ 468 a night.Seven Hotel This hotel is located on an island hill with views of a beach nearby. The water in the bathroom is solar heated in case you want some warm water for your shower. Back in 2006, about a fifth of the place was tagged as an ecological（生态的）reserve.

And now, AI can do even more things.Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English, Business Standard reported.According to Microsofts official website, researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from news stories. Then, language experts compared the results to two translations that were done by humans. The experts concluded that the systems translations were as good as the human translations.Machine translation is always challenging. This is partly because different words can be used to express the same meaning. It can be hard to say which word is more “correct”.Experts used several methods to improve the systems translation abilities. “Much of our research is really inspired (得到启发) by how we humans do things,” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.One method is called dual learning. In this method, the system translates every sentence from Chinese to English, as well as translates the sentences back from English into Chinese. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes. This is similar to what humans do to make sure their translations are accurate (准确的).Another method makes use of deliberation networks . The researchers taught the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Gradually, the system can improve the quality of its translations. This is similar to how people revise their own writing by going through it again and again.（1）Microsoft created a system that can _. A . make phone callsB . give people directionsC . play games with peopleD . translate news articles（2）What did the experts say about the systems translations? A . They were not accurate.B . They were as good as human translations.C . They were better than human translations.D . Its hard to tell whether the translations were correct.（3）Dual learning trains the system to translate _.A . more quicklyB . different sentencesC . more accuratelyD . the same sentence repeatedly（4）What is the main idea of the story? A . What artificial intelligence can do for us.B . How sentences are translated from Chinese to English.C . How the machine translation system was developed.D . Why Microsoft created a machine translation system.14. （6分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。Cats are creatures of habit. They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep. Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps(打盹). Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble! Since cats have the same moods as humans, some experts believe that people can improve their moods. People might become happier.A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes. Winston Churchill took cat naps.
