I want to translate the Web into every major language: every webpage,

1.I want to translate the Web into every major language: every webpage, every video, and, yes, even Justin Bieber's tweets. Nowadays， most of the Web is inaccessible（不能接触的）to most people in the world because its content splits up into hundreds of languages with over 50% of it in English.This problem is pressing, now more than ever, with millions of people from China, Russia, Latin America and other quickly developing regions entering the Web. There are certainly systems (like Google Translate) that are improving every day at translating the gist of things written in other languages than English. Unfortunately,they are not yet accurate enough： even when what they spit out is intelligible（智能的），it＇s so badly written that people can't read more than a few lines before getting a headache. This is why a new project called Duolingo is introduced here. Duolingo aims at breaking the language barrier, and thus making the Web truly “world wide.” The idea behind Duolingo is to kill two birds with one stone by solving both of these problems simultaneously. It is accomplished by transforming language translation into something that anyone can do - not just bilinguals - and that millions of people want to do: learning a foreign language. It is estimated that over one billion people worldwide are learning a foreign language, with millions doing so using computer programs. With Duolingo, people learn and translate a foreign language at the same time. When you learn on Duolingo, the website gives you exercises set specifically for you that teach you every aspect of the new language. You may be asked to translate a sentence, to pronounce or listen to a phrase, or to describe what you see in an image. In this way, Duolingo produces translations that are as accurate as those from professional language translators.22.According to the article, most people in the world can't receive most of the information on the Web due to the problem of_ 选项： A:different languages B: social conflicts C: governmental disagreement

6.[单选题]Passage 5Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.There are about 150 Native American languages in Canada and the United States,and another 600-700 languages in Central and South America.We don't know exactly how many languages there are because not everyone agrees on the definition of language.If two languages are similar enough that speakers can usually understand each other,they are called dialects(方言)of the same language.For example,American English and British English are dialects.On the other hand,English and German are different languages,because even though they are related,an English speaker can't necessarily understand a German speaker.However,sometimes there are special cases.For example,Spanish and Italian speakers can often understand each other.And sometimes speakers of two dialects of English can hardly understand each other at all.So depending on how you count them,there are between 750-850 indigenous(土著的)languages spoken in North,Central,and South America.There are about half a million speakers of indigenous languages in Canada and the US,and as many as 25 million speakers in Central and South America.Native American languages are endangered.If children stop learning their native language,the languages can die out just like endangered animals.Some Native American communities are bilingual(会说两种语言的)，but in most places parents have stopped teaching children their native language.In the past,the US and Canadian governments used to take Indianc children away from non-English-speaking homes,without their parents' permission,and put them into boarding schools.This was very painful for the children,so many parents stopped using their native languages to try and protect their children.Although this bad policy was abandoned,many Native Americans have grown up without their language,and it is difficult to try to learn a new language as an adult.Some communities are trying to ask elders to teadh the youngest generation the language before it is too late.What can we do to help preserve Native American languages?If you are Indian,learn your language!More than anything else,this is in the hands of the kids.Young people can learn a language more quickly and easily than older people.Visit older relatives and record them talking.You can make a difference.If you are not Indian,you can still learn some words the same way you learn any other foreign language.You could even study languages when you grow up,and help Native American communities preserve their languages first-hand!Why are we unable to tell exactly the number of languages? A The number of languages is constantly changing. B People disagree on the definition of language. C There are some languages undiscovered D There are too many languages to coum.
