新素养·思维品质 (原创)On holiday, many people will find themselves in foreign(外国的) countries. Things are often different and new to them, including the language. In the past, they might have carried a phrase book with them. The rise of English has made that less needed.
But most people—at least seven of the world's eight billion—still do not speak English. More and more of them are using free translation(翻译) apps not only to understand a passage but also to talk. With the conversation modes on these apps, you can speak into the phone and hear a spoken translation moments later.
But that translation might surprise you. While Google Translate may be the best - known machine translator, it often makes mistakes. Take “I'm gluten - free” for example. In French or Italian, the system translates it as “I'm without gluten”. It's true to the words, not the meaning.
The best tool may not be a translation app at all. Tell ChatGPT, “Write a message in Spanish to a waiter. I'm gluten - free, so I'd like replacements for anything with gluten.” It creates a perfect paragraph. The AI system does more than just translate. It's more like a native dinner mate.
Some say that in this age of AI, people no longer need to learn foreign languages. Douglas Hofstadter, a polyglot, discusses giving a difficult talk in Chinese. It takes a lot of work, but in the end, you feel a sense of achievement(成就). Who would be proud of taking a plane to the top of Qomolangma?
As AI becomes more popular, people will be into two groups. Some will go on to learn languages. They want to exercise their brains, learn a lot about other cultures and straightly talk with foreign friends. Others will look at language learners with respect. “Good for you, but that's a little hard for me,” they might say.
1. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. New languages.
B. Important visitors.
C. Foreign countries.
D. International travellers.
2. Why does the writer use the example of Google Translate? ＞＞ 写作意图题
①To show translation apps can give wrong results.
②To encourage people never to use translation apps.
③To tell AI systems are better at helping people with language problems.
A. ①②
B. ①③
C. ②③
D. ①②③
3. What's Douglas Hofstadter's attitude towards learning foreign languages? ＞＞ 观点态度题
A. Worried.
B. Agreeing.
C. Questioning.
D. Uninterested.
4. According to the passage, complete the structure(结构).
Paragraphs 1 - 2: changes of what travellers use to help them with 1
Paragraph(s) 2 : differences between translation apps and AI systems
Paragraph(s) 3 : ideas on whether it's still needed to learn foreign languages
A. foreign things; 3; 4 - 6
B. foreign things; 3 - 4; 5 - 6
C. new languages; 3 - 5; 6
D. new languages; 3 - 4; 5 - 6

答案
专项训练
训练 2【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在人工智能时代人们是否需要学习外语。
1. D 代词指代题。根据上文“On holiday, many people will find themselves in foreign countries.”可知许多人在假期会去国外旅游，此处“them”指代上文的“国际旅客”。故选 D。
2. B 推理判断题。根据第三段“But that translation might surprise you... it often makes mistakes.”和第四段“The best tool may not be a translation app at all.”“The AI system does more than just translate.”可知文章以谷歌翻译为例介绍了翻译软件会出错，与下文的人工智能系统对比，人工智能系统能更好地帮助人们解决语言问题。故选 B。
3. B 推理判断题。根据第五段“Douglas Hofstadter, a polyglot, discusses giving a difficult talk in Chinese. It takes a lot of work, but in the end, you feel a sense of achievement.”可知他认为用中文演讲需要付出很多努力，但最终会有成就感，由此可知他支持学习外语。故选 B。
4. D 篇章结构题。结合文章内容可知，第一、二段主要介绍了人们从携带常用语手册到使用翻译软件来解决语言问题；第三、四段介绍了人工智能相比翻译软件能更好地帮助人们解决语言问题；第五、六段介绍了人们对于在人工智能时代是否需要学习外语的观点。故选 D。

解析
【分析】
我会逐题梳理清晰的解题思路：
1. 代词指代题：首先定位划线词them在第一段的位置，往前追溯前文提到的核心复数对象，前文提到假期很多人身处国外，陌生的事物（包括语言）对他们来说都很新鲜，显然them指代的是这些出国度假的群体，逐一排除错误选项就能得到答案。
2. 写作意图题：先定位谷歌翻译的例子所在的第三段，例子前点明翻译工具可能出错，例子本身就是佐证谷歌翻译直译会出错，对应①正确；接着看例子的下文，第四段引出ChatGPT这类AI系统的优势，用谷歌翻译的不足反衬AI系统处理语言问题的能力更强，对应③正确；文中完全没有提及“永远不要使用翻译app”的极端表述，②错误，组合正确表述就能选出答案。
3. 观点态度题：定位Douglas Hofstadter的相关表述，他提到用中文完成难度很高的演讲，虽然要付出大量精力，但最终能获得强烈的成就感，还类比“谁会为坐飞机登上珠峰感到骄傲”，暗指借助工具获得的成果没有自己学习掌握语言带来的价值高，由此能判断他对学习外语的态度。
4. 篇章结构题：逐段梳理段落大意：第1-2段介绍旅行者从带短语手册到用翻译app，用来解决陌生新语言相关的问题；第3-4段先指出普通翻译app的缺陷，再介绍AI语言工具的优势，二者形成对比；第5-6段论述AI时代人们对于是否还要学习外语的两类不同观点，匹配对应选项即可。
【解析】
1. 细节推导：根据第一段前两句“On holiday, many people will find themselves in foreign countries. Things are often different and new to them, including the language.”可知，此处的them指代前文提到的假期出国的国际旅行者，排除A（新语言）、B（重要访客）、C（外国），对应正确选项。
2. 推理判断：第三段用谷歌翻译的例子，明确说明它经常出现只直译字面、不符合实际语义的错误，证明翻译app会给出错误结果，①正确；第四段紧接着引出ChatGPT这类AI系统的优势，它不只是简单翻译，还能生成符合场景的地道表达，用谷歌翻译的不足反衬AI系统更擅长解决语言问题，③正确；文中没有提出“完全禁止使用翻译app”的极端观点，②错误，因此①③组合正确。
3. 观点判断：根据第五段Douglas Hofstadter的表述，他认为花大量功夫完成中文演讲后能获得强烈的成就感，借助工具直接得到的结果没有这种价值，可见他是支持学习外语的，态度是赞同的，排除A（担忧）、C（质疑）、D（没兴趣）。
4. 结构梳理：通读全文可知，1-2段介绍旅行者用来处理新语言相关问题的工具的变化；3-4段对比普通翻译app和AI语言系统的差异；5-6段阐述AI时代人们对于是否仍有必要学习外语的不同观点，完全对应匹配的选项内容。
