Part II Reading Comprehension (35 points) Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are five passages for you to read.

You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center Because speech is the most convenient form of communication, in the future, we want to have essentially natural conversations with computers. The primary point of contact will be a simple device that will act as our window on the world. You will simply talk to it. The device will be permanently connected to the Internet and will beep(嘟赌响) relevant information up to you as it comes in. It is uncertain that how quickly people will adapt to a voice-based Internet world. Many believe that, initially at least, we will need similar conventions for the voice to those we use at present on screen: click, back, forward and so on. But soon you will undoubtedly be able to interact by voice with all those IT-based services you currently connect with over the Internet by a keyboard. This will help the Internet serve the entire population, not just techno-freaks. Changes like this will cover the whole world. Because English is the language of science, it will probably remain the language in which the technology is most advanced, but most speech-recognition(语言识别)techniques are transferable to other language provided there is sufficient motivation to understand the work. Within ten years we will have computers that respond to goal-directed conversations, but for a computer to have a conversation that takes into account human social behavior is probably 50 years off. We’re not going to be chatting to the big screen in the living room yet. 31.The voice-based techniques will initially be applied to ____________________ A)Windows C)keyboards B)Internet D)commands 32.The greatest benefit of voice-based techniques is that it ____________________ helps the Internet serve the whole world will probably see a massive market emerge will lower the cost of access to the Internet makes the Internet will replace the computer-based Internet 33.We can probably infer from the passage that____________________________ we won’t need keyboard any more in the future English can be converted into another language freely English will be the only language in voiced-based Internet Voice-based Internet will replace the computer-based Internet 34.Within ten years, we will expect__________________________ voiced-based IT service human-directed computer speech-recognition techniques task-based conversational computer 35.This passage is mainly about________________________________ voice-based Internet special Internet services voice-directed keyboard goal-directed conversations Passage 2 ( 5 x I ) Baishiye Dried Duck Plant has a history of more than 100 years producing Baishiyi Dried Duck Series.

The major changes are: Listening comprehension will be included for the first time. The grammar correction and vocabulary blank-filling will be cut. The marks for reading comprehension will be increased from 40 to 50%. The English into Chinese translation will be worth 10 points instead of 15. In addition, the format of the test will be different from previous ones. Therefore, “dealing with these changes is necessary to get candidates fully prepared for the test,” said Zhang Jinxin, a professor at Renmin University of China, known for her to-the-point preparatory lectures on the English test of NEEP.
