Choose the correct answer:
Considering the description below, choose the corresponding type of interpreting:
“The interpreter listens to a unit of the source language, often making notes, then delivers a translation of the content after the original speaker. This type is often used for meetings, seminars, speeches, presentations, and so on where the listeners all understand one of two languages. It does not require any special equipment. Often the interpreter will have a microphone and interpret the source language from off-stage; at other times the interpreter will be alongside the speaker.”
Examine the excerpt extracted from “Localization from the Perspective of Translation Studies” (p. 2-3) by Anthony Pym and choose the alternative which DOES NOT CONTAIN features of the localization discourse:
Within localization models, translation is reduced to just one small step in a larger process. Most theorists of translation, of the other hand, would want to see localization as just a part of translation. This has given rise to considerable debate and more than a little discontent (see ISG 2003). Localization models mostly recognize two kinds of processes: internationalisation (for the centralized preparation of products) and localization proper (for the adaptation of the product to locales). Translation Studies, on the other hand, has long worked with three spaces for processes: production of the source text, intervention of the translator, and reception of the target text (or translation). From that perspective, some things seem to be missing in the localizer’s view of the world.
The following fragment is part of a Cooperation Agreement set between a Brazilian university and a foreign university:

Effect of Ileal Release of palm oil and glutamine on intestinal peptides PYY and GLP-1 in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity
Abstract: The incretin based therapy constitutes one of the alternatives for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and for weight reduction. For this purpose, functional foods such as palm oil and glutamine provide dietary strategies for the stimulation of intestinal peptides.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the capsules of palm oil and glutamine (both of ileal release) result in increased secretion of GLP-1 and PYY.

Are scientists leaving the net?
The scientists who helped create the Internet may be leaving it for less crowded cyberspaces. Having been on the Internet longer than the rest of us, scientists use it differently.
Premier researchers use the Internet to test projects like real-time, 3D models of colliding galaxies or rampaging tornadoes. For tasks like that, the Internet is no longer fast enough or reliable enough. And some scientists are frustrated. For them, the information superhighway is full of bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Visionary engineers at the National Science Foundation, fortunately, have long foreseen such congestion. As an alternative, they created the very high-speed Backbone Network Service (VBNS). It links a handful of government and university labs at speed of 155,000,000 bits per second, or 10,000 times faster than a standard modem. By the year 2000, a new generation of equipment and another round of research could give scientists data pipes 12 times faster than that. Among other tricks, these new high bandwidth networks will allow scientists to manipulate huge computer files so unwieldy they are now shipped by four-wheeled means. “Never underestimate the bandwidth of a pick-up truck full of data”, jokes Daniel Sandin of the University of Illinois.
Sandin and his team in Chicago will use the VBNS to immerse goggled humans at different locations into the same type of jaw-dropping virtual reality simulation generated by a supercomputer. “You could not do that on the Internet,” says Thomas Defanti, Sandin’s colleague. “The Internet is so congested that for any kind of highbandwidth use, it is essentially rendered useless.”
“Simply adding lanes is not going to work,” adds Beth Gaston of the National Science Foundation. “Our role is to spur the technology forward” – Mark Uheling.

Instruction: Answer questions 36 to 40 based on the following text.
Klingon to Dothraki: Invented languages gain popularity
- The idea of invented languages is not new. People have been trying to create new tongues
- for a long time. One of the most famous examples is Esperanto, created by Ludwik Zamenhof
- in 1887 which he hoped would become __ globally spoken unifying language. The fact that it
- is based on 16 very simple rules and took words from languages already present makes it very
- easy to learn. This was a conscious decision by Zamenhof who hoped that if everyone spoke
- one language, there would be fewer wars and conflicts.
- So far, none of the existing constructed languages has achieved a large number of
- speakers. Klingon, the invented language of Star Trek has around 20-30 speakers. Na’vi, the
- language created for the movie “Avatar” has one fluent speaker, 10 intermediate speakers,
- and over forty novices. Dothraki, which was crafted specifically for __ series Game of Thrones,
- boasts seven intermediate speakers and around a hundred novices. For now, Garadálava has
- exactly one speaker: Fynn Schlemminger himself.
- However Esperanto is a notable exception: it’s estimated that the language has around
- some 1,000 native speakers, and many parents teach it to their children. TV series, movies,
- books, and especially the Internet have given invented languages a chance like never before.
- According to the BBC, Esperanto, which was created almost exactly 100 years ago, is currently
- experiencing a boost, mostly thanks to the language learning app Duolingo, and a highly
- engaged online community. Wikipedia is also available in this language.
- With the amount of time and effort it takes to learn a new language, it is rather unlikely
- that __ invented tongue will achieve world domination in the same way English has. But it is
- clear that there is rising interest in creating new languages. “Yes, there might be more of them
- in the future, or more people will try their hand at it,” said Carpenter.
