学校考试的,是阅读理解的最后一篇，一共4小题，每小题2分，一共8分。大家试着做做吧。
Since 2001, a simple but extraordinary series of games presented by Capcom Company on Gameboy Advance, Gyakuten Saiban (逆转裁判), whose name means “Reversal Judgment” in Japanese language, has drawn a lot of people’s attention. There is no gorgeous (华丽的) pictures on it, but most people who have experienced this game have admitted that it is a joyful surprise to them. “When I’m playing this game, I feel I am like Detective Conan.” says one of the game players.
In the game, the player has to play the role of a lawyer. He always tries to help his clients who were charged (控告) for murders remove their injustice (冤屈). However, nearly every time, when looking into the case, the lawyer finds himself in trouble, too. The prosecutors (检察官) on the court often give him pressures, once an arrogant prosecutor even threw a cup of coffee at his face and he failed to dodge (躲避). Despite these difficulties, sometimes even dangers, the lawyer finally saved his clients and got the approval (认同) of all the people in the court, including that coffee-drinking prosecutor.
The game is made up of words and motion pictures, which makes the game like an cartoon animation. You don’t need to worry about your poor sense of game playing, this game can be saved at any time, and if you got a “Game Over”, just load from your nearest saving point.
The only difficulty the players are meeting is the language. The game was sold only in Japan, so the language is Japanese. Fortunately, this game has been dumped (提取) from the cartridge, and Gyakuten fans all over the world are trying to translate it into their languages. The Koreans have made some progress in translating it into their language, and a British guy in Europe is trying to make an English version. However, the Chinese made it possible to play this game in their native language before all the other foreign players. A translation team called Gyakuten ACE recently announced they will make a better version of Gyakuten Saiban 3 in June 2005.

现在公布答案：
57. What is Gyakuten Saiban?
答案：A. A handhold game. 这个应该不难吧？其他三的选项都不是游戏。
58. The main character in Gyakuten Saiban is a _________ .
答案：B. lawyer 本题是以成步堂为主角的前提下编写的。如果有人非要说御剑或者咖啡男是主角，而选了A的话，那我也没有办法……
59. How many languages has the game been translated into, according to the passage?
答案： B. Three. 有人可能要喊冤了：怎么会是三种？ 中英日韩加在一起明明是四种！可问题是“How many languages has the game been translated into”，这个translate是什么意思呢？日语版是原版，还需要translate吗？错了的话说明没有好好审题。
60. Why are the Chinese players the first foreigners who can play the game in their native language?
答案：B. Some Chinese fans translated the game by themselves.我在这里要强调的是，为了不让学生把题意搞混，我对题干进行了修改。在最后加上了“in their native language”。也就是说，题目是意思是“为什么中国的玩家可以用自己的语言玩这个游戏”。这样一来，答案就很明显了。逆转能够在中国红起来，并不是因为Capcom在中国发行了中文版，也不是什么D版商的功劳，而是广大默默无闻的辛勤的汉化劳动者的努力。在这里，我们还是要好好感谢这些劳动者呀！
