  Kimiko Fukuda always wondered what her dog was trying to say.Whenever she put on makeup, it would pull at her sleeve.

  Now, the Japanese girl thinks she knows.When the dog barks, she glances at a small electronic gadget(小机械).The following “human” translation appears on its screen:“Please take me with you.”?

  “I realized that was how he was feeling,” says Fukuda.

  The gadget is called Bowlingual, and it translates dog barks into feelings.People laughed when the Japanese toy-maker Takara Company made the world’s first dog-human translation machine in 2002.But 300 000 Japanese dog owners bought it.More customers are expected when the English version(型号)is launched this summer.

  “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, one of US Time magazine’s 42 coolest inventions of 2002, has two parts.A wireless microphone is attached to the dog’s collar(项圈), which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.The translation is done in the gadget using a database(数据库)containing every kind of bark.

  Based on animal behavior research, these noises are divided into six kinds:happiness, sadness, frustration(沮丧), anger, declaration and desire.

  Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like “Let’s play,” “Look at me,” or “Spend more time with me.” 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 is translated as “Don’t come this way”.It was followed by “I’m stronger than you” as the dog shouted angrily and sniffed at the visitor.

  The product will be on sale in the 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.Meanwhile, the Meowlingual, aimed at cat owners, will be available(可提供的)in November.

  However, the translations are never completely accurate.“We can’t say it’s 100 percent right, ” said Yoko Watanabe of Takara.“You can’t really understand how a dog feels unless you become one yourself.”

(1)

Which of the following is NOT contained in the Bowlingual machine?

[  ]

A.

Dog’s collar.

B.

A wireless microphone.

C.

A database.

D.

A gadget held by the owner.

(2)

When Bowlingual first came out, ________.

[  ]

A.

it was expected to teach dogs how to better understand our orders

B.

no one expected it to make money

C.

it sold much better than people had thought

D.

the translation was in English

(3)

What is the meaning of the underlined word “accurate” in the last paragraph?

[  ]

A.

Clear.

B.

Correct.

C.

Popular.

D.

Considerate.

(4)

Suppose Takara Company would make a new product to translate cows’ language, what name would they probably give to the product?

[  ]

A.

Cow-language Machine.

B.

Bowlingual.

C.

Meowlingual.

D.

Moolingual.

(5)

What would be the best title for the passage?

[  ]

A.

Every dog has his say

B.

A famous Japanese company

C.

Dogs need to communicate with man

D.

Care for dogs

答案:1.A;2.C;3.B;4.D;5.A;
解析:

(1)

本题为细节认定题。根据文章第六段提供的信息可知,这种能懂狗叫声的机器里没有狗颈上的collar,所以答案为A项。

(2)

本题为细节推断题。从第四段中的“People laughed when the Japanese toy-maker Takara Company made the world’s first dog-human translation machine in 2002.But 300 000 Japanese dog owners bought it.”这个信息可以推知答案为C项。开始人们还笑话这种机器,结果销售情况却很好。

(3)

本题为词义猜测题。从下文的“We can’t say it’s 100 percent right”可以推知accurate的意思应该是correct。

(4)

本题为推断题。翻译狗叫声的机器叫Bowlingual,bow为像声词,表示狗的叫声,牛的叫声是moo,所以该机器就应该称之为Moolingual了,答案为D项。

(5)

主旨大意题。本文的中心是狗叫声的翻译机,即:能把狗的意思表达出来的东西,所以标题能反映人性化的机器的特色,人有人言,鸟有鸟语,所以答案为A项。其中的say为名词,意为:想表达的意思。
