Question

11．A kitchen that gives step-by-step cooking instructions in French could inspire a revolution in language learning in the UK．By using a new technology，it speaks to you as you prepare a French dish．The kitchen breaks new ground by taking language learning out of the classroom and linking it with an enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity．
The new kitchen is designed to be used in schools，universities and even people's homes．It could also be an existing kitchen．The first version of the technology was tested in the kitchens of project partner Newcastle University．The kitchen could be available for schools and universities，and for the UK market by the June of 2014．
The Newcastle University team is now working on ways to put it on the market．And the European Union has given money to begin programs in six other languages，including English Italian and Spanish．Finally，versions could be developed for any language cuisine（烹飪法）in the world．
Professor Paul says，"By international standards，the UK students are now poor when it comes to learning languages-a problem that certainly has an economic influence．We believe that developing skills in a country's language and its cuisine will help change the trend．"
On a computer fixed into the kitchen，the user first selects the French recipe（菜譜）they want to follow．Digital sensors built into dishes，containers and other equipment then communicate with the computer to make sure the right instructions are given at the right time，the user can ask the computer to repeat an instruction，or translate it into English，simply by pressing the touch screen．After cooking，the user can test what they have learned by carrying out a short test on the computer．
All grammar and vocabulary has been carefully selected to make sure that using the kitchen adds to basic proficiency（熟練）in understanding French．
Now three easy-carrying versions of the kitchen are being prepared．They're to be fixed in Newcastle University and at Institute Francais，a London-based charity devoted to teaching the French language．
57．The new kitchen is designed mainly toC．
A．increase people's interest in cooking
B．teach people how to cook French dishes
C．offer people a new way to learn languages
D．help cooks learn spoken French in the kitchen
58．Which of the following is TRUE about the kitchen？C

Answer 1

分析 本文主要為人們介紹了通過使用一種新型的廚房系統(tǒng)來學(xué)習(xí)語言的新方法（即將計(jì)算機(jī)系統(tǒng)安裝在廚房用某種語言給人們尤其是一些中小學(xué)以及大學(xué)的學(xué)生們按步驟給出烹飪指導(dǎo)，同時該系統(tǒng)還可以在用戶完成烹飪后，通過在計(jì)算機(jī)上進(jìn)行一個簡短的測試，來測試他們所學(xué)到的烹飪及語言知識）；該新型廚房的適用范圍以及研發(fā)情況．

解答 答案：
57．C   細(xì)節(jié)理解題     根據(jù)第一段中的第一句"A kitchen that…in language learning in the UK．"（按步驟用法語給出烹飪指導(dǎo)的廚房能激發(fā)起一場在英國學(xué)習(xí)語言的革命）；以及最后一句"The kitchen breaks new ground by taking language learning…real-life activity"（通過將語言學(xué)習(xí)帶出課堂，并將其與一個愉快的、有益的現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的活動聯(lián)系起來，該廚房打開了新的局面）可知，設(shè)計(jì)該新廚房的主要目的是：為人們提供一種新的學(xué)習(xí)語言的方法；故選C
58．C     細(xì)節(jié)理解題    根據(jù)第二段中的"The new kitchen is designed to…and even people's homes．"提到它的適用范圍是中小學(xué)，大學(xué)，甚至是人們的家庭，可知D"它只適用于中小學(xué)和大學(xué)"的說法是不正確的，故排除D；根據(jù)第三段中的"The Newcastle University…market．"（紐卡斯?fàn)柎髮W(xué)團(tuán)隊(duì)現(xiàn)在正在研究如何把它投放到市場上）可知，B"它已經(jīng)在英國出售了．"的說法不正確，故排除B"；根據(jù)本段中的"And the European Union has given money to…，including English Italian and Spanish．"歐盟只是已給予了資金，剛開始啟動研發(fā)包括英語、意大利語和西班牙語在內(nèi)的其他六種語言版本的計(jì)劃，故A"它現(xiàn)在有六種語言版本．"的說法是不正確的，故排除A；根據(jù)該句中的"歐盟已給予了資金"可知，C"它已收到來自歐盟的大力支持．"是正確的；故選C
59．B    細(xì)節(jié)理解題     根據(jù)第五段中的"the user can ask the computer to repeat an instruction，or translate it into English"（用戶可以要求計(jì)算機(jī)重復(fù)一個指令，或?qū)⑵浞�譯成英文）可知，B"它可以將法語翻譯成另一種語言"的說法是正確的；本題容易錯選A"它將會對他進(jìn)行一次關(guān)于烹飪技巧的測試"，根據(jù)"After cooking，the user can test what they have learned by carrying out a short test on the computer．（烹飪完成后，通過在計(jì)算機(jī)上進(jìn)行一個簡短的測試，用戶可以測試他們所學(xué)到的東西）"結(jié)合上文可知，這里提及的學(xué)到的東西，指的應(yīng)是包括語言學(xué)習(xí)在內(nèi)的一些知識，測試的不只是他的烹飪技巧，因此A的說法不正確；故選B
60．D   標(biāo)題選擇題    根據(jù)本文的主旨大意：通過介紹將計(jì)算機(jī)系統(tǒng)安裝在廚房用法語給人們尤其是一些中小學(xué)以及大學(xué)的學(xué)生們按步驟給出烹飪指導(dǎo)，旨在說明為人們提供的一種新的學(xué)習(xí)語言的方法；可推測出D：一個教你說法語的"會說話的廚房"可作為本文的題目；故選D

點(diǎn)評 做本題時，首先應(yīng)快速瀏覽全文，掌握文章的大意以及作者的寫作思路；其次，可以通過對相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)的理解，概括段落大意，以及通過邏輯推理或內(nèi)容歸納，選出正確的答案．
