  In Google's vision of the future, people will be able to translate documents instantly into the world's main languages, with machine logic, not expert linguists, leading the way.

  Google's approach, called statistical(统计的)machine translation, differs from past efforts in which it does without language experts who program grammatical rules and dictionaries into computers.Instead, they feed documents humans have already translated into two languages and then rely on computers to decide patterns for future translations.

  While the quality is not perfect, it is an improvement on previous efforts at machine translation, said Franz Och, 35, a German who heads Google's translation effort at its Mountain View headquarters south of San Francisco.“Some people who have been in machine translations for a long time see our Arabic-English output, and then they say, that's amazing, that's a breakthrough,”said Och.“And then other people who have never seen what machine translation was read through the sentence and they say, the first mistake here in Line Five-it doesn't seem to work because there is a mistake there.”

  But for some tasks, a mostly correct translation may be good enough.Speaking over lunch this week in a Google cafeteria famed for offering free, healthy food, Och showed a translation of an Arabic Web news site into easily digestible English.

  Two Google workers speaking Russian at a nearby table said, however, that a translation of a news site from English into their native tongue was understandable but a bit awkward.Och, who speaks German, English and some Italian, feeds hundreds of millions of words from parallel texts such as Arabic and English into the computer, using United Nations and European Union documents as key sources.

  Languages without considerable translated texts, such as some African languages, face greater obstacles.“The more data we feed into the system, the better it gets,”said Och, who moved to the United States from Germany in 2002.

  The program applies statistical analysis, an approach he hopes will avoid diplomatic embarrassing mistakes in diplomatic situations, such as when Russian leader Putin's translator annoyed then German Chancellor(总理)Gerhard Schroeder by calling him the German “Fuhrer(“leader” in English),”which is forbidden in that context because of its association with Adolf Hitler.

  “I would hope that the language model would say, well, Schroeder is…very rare but Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schroeder is probably 100 times more frequent than Fuhrer and then it would make the right decision.”Och said.

(1)

What is the best title of this passage?

[  ]

A.

Google Seeks World of Instant Translations

B.

Google Starts a Revolution of Machine Translations

C.

A Breakthrough Makes Google World Brighter

D.

Surf Google and Try the New Computer System

(2)

In what way is “Google's machine translation” different from previous ones?

[  ]

A.

Linguists guide the computer translation on Google.

B.

International official papers are programmed as its major sources.

C.

Rules and dictionaries are fed into computers to support it.

D.

Google daily updates the program of this computer translation.

(3)

We can learn from the passage that users ________.

[  ]

A.

think highly of Google's new approach

B.

criticize it for its broken translation

C.

hope Google can perfect it before launching

D.

hold different opinions towards Google's new approach

(4)

Why are there more troubles in translations relating to African languages?

[  ]

A.

Most of the translated materials are not properly translated.

B.

Experts managing the program know poorly of African languages.

C.

It's hard to find enough materials of African translation works.

D.

The UN and EU fail to provide translated African documents.

(5)

counting how frequently a word is used in the language

B.

hiring people who speak different languages

C.

using the computer with its own grammatical rules

D.

reminding users of the likely embarrassing mistakes

阅读下面的短文,并根据文章后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)

Colonel Sanders went to more than 1,000 places attempting to sell his chicken recipe before he spotted an interested buyer.The fact that we can purchase Kentucky Fried Chicken today proves his steady determination.Thomas Edison attempted almost 10,000 times before he succeeded in creating the electric ligh.If he had given up,            !

The original business plan for what was to become Federal Express was given a failing grade on Fred Smith’s college exam.And,in the early days,their employees would cash their pay checks at branch stores rather than banks.This meant it would take longer for the money to clear,therefore giving Fed Ex more time to cover their payroll.

Sylvester Stallone had been turned down a thousand times by agents and was down to his last $ 600 before he found a company that would produce Rocky.The rest is history!To truly succeed requires a total commitment to your goal.A large majority of people make the mistake of quitting just short of success.If you really have faith in what you are doing,give it all you’ve got and don’t give up.

You will succeed.There is no such thing as failure.Every action produces an outcome,which may not always be the outcome you are looking for,but it is an outcome,however.If you monitor the results of your actions and keep correcting what is not working,you will eventually achieve the result you are looking for.

Ray Kroc,the late founder of McDonalds,put it best when he said:“Nothing in this world can take the place of constant efforts.Talent will not;nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with great talent.Genius will not.Un-rewarded genius is almost a proverb.Education will not.The world is full of the educated abandoned.Constant efforts,determination and love are all-powerful.”
