Many of these technologies use gloves to capture (捕捉) the motion of signing, which can be large and awkward.Now, a group of researchers at M
17、ichigan State University has developed a gloveless device that they hope will improve ASLEnglish translation.The technology, called DeepASL, uses a camera device to capture hand motions, and then feeds the data through a deep learning algorithm (算法), which matches it to signs of ASL. Unlike previous
18、 devices, DeepASL can translate whole sentences, and doesnt require users to pause between signs.“This is a truly nonintrusive technology，” says Mi Zhang, a professor of electrical and computer engineering who leads the research.Zhang and his team hope DeepASL can help people who are deaf and hard o

But Christian Vogler, a professor of
20、 communication studies at Gallaudet University, is dubious about devices designed to translate ASL.“Devices merely recognize hand signs and turn them into an English word per sign，” Vogler says. “This means key grammatical information is lost, information about whether a phrase is a question, a rela
21、tive clause and so forth.”Zhangs team didnt test the device on people who were deaf and hard of hearing but on students in a sign language translation program.Zhang emphasizes DeepASL is designed to enable merely basic communication at this point, and that this is just a starting place. He says his
22、team hopes to develop DeepASLs ability in the future to capture face and body movements.“Thatll be the next significant milestone for us to reach，” he says.5Compared with DeepASL, what is the disadvantage of previous devices?AThey can not translate whole sentences.BThey provide inaccurate translatio

Researchers from
37、 Switzerlands University of Bern say they discovered people were able to learn new language words during deep levels of sleep.Much of the earlier research found that memories made when people were awake were reinforced and strengthened during sleep. The researchers theorized that, if so, the process
38、ing and storage of new information should also be possible during sleep. The research group was led by Katharina Henke, a professor at the University of Bern. The researchers carried out experiments on a group of young Germanspeaking men and women. The researchers recorded brain activity as pairs of
39、 words were played for the study subjects. One word in the pair was a real German word. The other was a madeup foreign word.For later identification purposes, the German words chosen were things clearly larger or smaller than a shoebox. Each word pair was played four times, with the order of the wor
40、ds changed each time. When the subjects woke, they were presented with the false language words both by sight and sound. They were then asked to guess whether the false word played during sleep represented an object smaller or larger than a shoebox. Results of the study found that a majority of subj
41、ects gave more correct answers about the sleeplearned words than would be expected if they had only guessed at random.The researchers say more studies are needed to support their findings. However, the experiments do provide new evidence that memories can be formed and vocabulary learning can take p

46、speaking English.Adopt a practice and repetition routine (常规). When something becomes natural to you, you begin to feel confident of doing it. And the only way you can arrive at this “natural” way of doing things is through practice and repetition. _2_ So write down what you may talk about and then
47、practise saying it aloud and repeatedly before an English meeting._3_ You may lose confidence when your spoken English is misunderstood by listeners. In most cases, its because the listeners are not used to your accent or you speak too fast. There is no doubt that speaking slowly is easy to achieve.
48、Dont run away from uncomfortable situations. It is natural for any human being to avoid uncomfortable situations when possible, but you will build your confidence in the uncomfortable zones. _4_All in all, learning to speak English confidently doesnt happen overnight._5_ As the saying goes, “No pain
49、s, no gains.” As long as you make enough efforts, you will surely improve your spoken English, and then you will naturally become confident of speaking English in front of others.APurposely speak more slowly.BTry to understand your listeners.CIt takes time and you need to make continuous efforts.DIt
50、 is common to make some mistakes when you speak English.EWell, its the same principle as speaking English confidently.FHowever, going from an unconfident speaker to a confident one is possible.GThe secret is to be fully prepared, and then you will overcome the uncomfortable situations.1选F空前内容提出英语学习者
51、在公开讲英语时常常会感到焦虑不安，F项“然而，从一个不自信的说英语者变成一个自信的说英语者是可能的”与上文内容形成转折，且为下文提出自信地说英语的方法做铺垫。2选E联系上下文可知，空后建议人们不断重复练习他们可能要说的内容，而这与空前介绍的想要自信地做任何事情都必须不断重复练习的理论一致，故E项“这和自信地说英语是同样的原理”承上启下，符合语境。3选A根据本段内容尤其是最后一句可知，本段建议人们有意识地说慢一些，故A项适合作本段主旨句。4选G根据本段内容可知，本段建议人们走出舒适区去练习说英语，故G项“秘诀就是做好充分的准备，然后你就会克服不舒服的情况”进一步给出了具体的建议，符合语境。5选C
52、根据空前的“All in all, learning to speak English confidently doesnt happen overnight”可知，C项“这需要时间，而且你需要不断付出努力”是对空前内容的补充说明，并与下文的“make enough efforts”相呼应。.短文改错One day, I asked Jenny, one of my friend, whether she would like to study English with me.“Your idea sounded so good because we all can improve our E
