Question

5．A"talking kitchen"teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time．Researchers at New Castle University in the United Kingdom have developed the French Digital Kitchen．Professor Paul Seed House and Patrick Olivier led the project．Professor House tells us that it works like a satellite navigation（导航） system in a car，which direct us how to get to your destination．
The kitchen equipment and tools use motion sensor（动作传感器） technology．The sensors help a computer guide the students through instructions in French．
This is how the system works．The system can tell whether you've done what you were asked to do or not．For example，the system tells you to take some butter and cut it with a knife．There's a sensor on the package containing the butter so it can tell where the butter's being moved．The sensor in the knife not only knows that the knife is moving，but it also knows what motion the knife is making．So it can know whether the knife is cutting or not．And it doesn't go on to the next step of the program unless you've done what it sense you've done．
Students can ask the computer to repeat the instructions or translate them into English．There are vocabulary lessons before and after the cooking．
Professor House says the French Digital Kitchen turns the process of learning language into a real-life experience．"Here you're taking itout of the classroom and you're actually using the language to produce something that you can eat at the end of it．It's very enjoyable．"
The system could be available for sale by the end of 2013．Adding the technology to a new kitchen could add about ten to twenty percent to the building costs．The researchers have also been given money to develop programs in six other languages，including English，Italian and Spanish．

Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一种能用外语发出语音指令的智能"厨房"系统，帮助学生学习法语且帮助学生使用．

解答 56．C．推理判断题．根据第一段A"talking kitchen"teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time．Researchers at New Castle University in the United Kingdom have developed the French Digital Kitchen可知，这种智能"厨房"系统用法语发出指示，帮助学生学习法语，故可推知研发者起先主要是帮助法语为外语的学习者；故选C．．
57．D．细节理解题．根据第三段This is how the system works．The system can tell whether you've done what you were asked to do or not可知描述的是系统如何工作的；故选D．
58．B．代词指代题．结合上文讲烹饪和本段第一句Professor House says the French Digital Kitchen turns the process of learning language into a real-life experience讲把语言学习从教室带到真实的生活中可指指代的是烹饪与学习合一的过程；故选B．
59．D．标题归纳题．本文大意是介绍一种能用外语发出语音指令的智能"厨房"系统，文章第一句A"talking kitchen"teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time即主题句，故选D．
60．B．推理判断题．作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一种能用外语发出语音指令的智能"厨房"系统，帮助学生学习法语且帮助学生使用，因此应该出现在科学杂志上；故选B．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
