Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English.

The researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from news stories. Then, language experts compared the results to the translation that were done by humans. The experts said that the system's translations were as good as the human translations.

Experts used several methods to improve the system's translation abilities. “Much of our research is really learned from how we humans do things，” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.

One method is called dual learning(對(duì)偶學(xué)習(xí)). 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 exact.

Another method makes use of deliberation networks(推敲網(wǎng)絡(luò))．The researchers taught the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Gradually，the system can improve the quality(質(zhì)量) of its translations. This is similar to how people correct their own writing by going through it again and again.

4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.

A. dual learning B. the process

C. the system D. people's own writing

5.The passage wants to tell us ________.

A. what artificial intelligence can do for us

閱讀下面短文， 按要求補(bǔ)全表格。(每空限填一詞)

It is said that the eyes are “the windows of our soul”. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need taking good care of.

Be careful with your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables as fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.

A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes your eyes and gives them enough rest. Sleep not only helps repair the tired body. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.

You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs full of water and gives them a good wash.

We use our eyes in many wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong. Rubbing can hurt your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.

Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.

任務(wù)型閱讀。閱讀短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容，完成下列任務(wù)。

Do you often put off doing something that you should be doing? It’s a bad habit called procrastination(拖延癥).

The 2-Minute Rule is a method of ____①____ with the problem and the goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing. It includes two parts. Part 1 comes from David Allen’s book, “Getting Things Done”. It’s surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less, for example, taking out the litter, cleaning up your desk and sending an e-mail. If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, then follow the rule and do it right now.

Can all of your goals be achieved in less than two minutes? Of course not. ____②____, every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less. And that’s the purpose behind the rule’s second part. Once you start doing something, it’s easier to continue doing it. The most important part of any new habit is getting started--not just the first time, but each time. I love the 2-Minute Rule because it accepts the idea that all good things happen once you get started.

Want to become a better writer? Just write one sentence(2-Minute Rule), and you’ll probably find yourself writing for an hour.

Want to make reading a habit? Just read the first page of a new book(2-Minute Rule), and before you know it, you’ve read the first ten pages.

Use next 120 seconds to get one thing done. Go!
