参考答案

46 E 文章的第一两句话提出了Kimiko Fukuda一直在想的一件事，即狗究竟想表达什么。紧接着应该给出一个答案是比较符合逻辑的。E就是答案。

47 D 上一句话说的30万日本养狗人已经买了人狗翻译机。符合逻辑的一步是更多的人还会买。因此D是合理的选项。

48 A 上一句说的是Bowlingual这个装置有两个部分。接着应该是具体说明。A是对装置的具体说明。

49 F 第五段的第一句话说的是：根据动物行为研究，这些杂音可以分成六类：幸福;悲痛;受挫;气愤;声称;欲望。因为是人狗翻译机，这些情感还需要跟人的话对应起来。

50 c 上一句话说的是：当一个客人最近来到Fukuda的屋时，狗大声地叫着“bowwow”的声音。因为是在讲人狗翻译机，下面一句话应该讲的是它的翻译。因此C是对的。
