Kimiko Fukuda,a Japanese girl,always wondered what her dog was trying to say
Whenever she put on makeup,it would pull at her sleeve. (46)When the dog barks,she glances at a small electronic gadget(装置)The following“human”translation appears on its screen:“Please take me with you.“I realized that’S how he was feeling.”said Fukuda.
The gadget is called Bowlingual ,and it translates dog barks into feelings.People laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world’s first dog。human translation machine in 2002 But 300.000 Japanese dog owners bought it. (47)
“Nobody else had thought about it,”said Masahiko Kajita,who works for Takara.“We spend SO much time training dogs to understand our orders;what would it be like if we could understand dogs?’’Bowlingual has two parts. (48)The translation is done in the gadget using a database(资料库)containing every kind of bark.
Based on animal behaviour research,these noises are divided into six categories:happiness,sadness,frustration,anger,declaration and desire (49)In this way,the database scientifically matches a bark to an emotion,which is then translated into one of 200 phrases.
When a visitor went to Fukuda’s house recently,the dog barked a loud“bow WOW”This translated as‘Don’t come this way” (50)
The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US$120.It can store up to 100 barks,even recording the dog’s emotions when the owner is away.
A A wireless microphone is attached to the dog’s collar,which sends information to the gadget Held by the owner’
B Nobody really knows how a dog feels
C It was followed by“I’m stronger than you”as the dog growled(嗥叫)and sniffed(嗅)at thevisitor
D More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer
E Now,the Japanese girl thinks she knows
F Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like“Let’s play”,“Look at me”,or“Spend more time with me”
参考答案
46 E 文章的第一句话提出了Kimiko Fukuda一直在想的一件事,即狗究竟想表达什么。紧接着应该给出一个答案是比较符合逻辑的。E就是答案。
47 D 上一句话说的30万日本养狗人已经买了人狗翻译机。符合逻辑的一步是更多的人还会买。因此D是合理的选项。
48 A 上一句说的是Bowlingual这个装置有两个部分。接着应该是具体说明。A是对装置的具体说明。
49 F 第五段的第一句话说的是:根据动物行为研究,这些杂音可以分成六类:幸福;悲痛;受挫;气愤;声称;欲望。因为是人狗翻译机,这些情感还需要人的话对应起来。
50 c 上一句话说的是:当一个客人最近来到F1Jkuda的屋时,狗大声地叫着“bow wow”的声音。因为是在讲人狗翻泽机,下面一句话应该讲的是它的翻译。因此c是对的。
