Part I Listening Comprehension (15 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your listening ability. It consists of 3 sections.
Section ADirections: This section is to test your ability to understand short dialogues. There are 5 recorded dialogues in it. After each dialogue, there is a recorded question. The dialogues and the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices A , B, C, and D.
听力原文:M:You look tired.Why don’t you go and have a good rest?W:I wish I could,but I have to finish my report.My boss will need it tomorrow.Q:Why is the woman still working?
1.
A.Because she doesn’t like to have a rest. B.Because she wishes to be a boss someday. C.Because her boss asks her to work late. D.Because she has to finish her report.
正确答案:D
解析:本题的解题关键在于捕捉关键信息but I have to finish my report。通过分析选项,我们可以推测本题考查女士做某动作的原因,在听音时重点听女士所说的话。男士提建议:“你看起来很累,为何不好好休息一下?”女士说:“我真希望能好好休息,但是我得写报告,我老板明天要用。”
听力原文:W:I have spent a whole week preparing for the math examination.How about you,Henry?M:Well,I haven’t opened the book yet.Q:What can be implied from this conversation?
2.
A.Henry is not a hard-working student.
B.Henry doesn’t need to prepare for the math examination. C.Henry doesn’t like studying math very much.
D.Henry has prepared well for the math examination.
正确答案:A
解析:本题的解题关键在于理解I haven’t opened the book yet。女土说:“我已经花了一个星期来准备数学考试了。你准备得怎么样,亨利?”男土说:“我还没打开过书呢。”女士已经学了一整星期了,男士还没有开始准备,可见男士不是个用功的学生。
听力原文:M:Hello,Mary. How are things?W:Everything goes well. The meeting will be held in London at 9:00 on the 18th We still have six days.Q:When will the conversation most probably take place?
3.
A.On the 10th. B.On the 8th. C.On the 12th. D.On the 11th.
正确答案:C 解析:本题的解题关键在于根据女士回答中的关键信息on the 18th,still have six days正确推算时间日期。男士问事情进展如何,女士说:“一切顺利。会议将于18号9点在伦敦举行,我们还有6天的时间。”离18号还有6天,当天应该是12号。
听力原文:W:Why are you giving me a speeding ticket? I was only going 40.M:Can’t you read? That was 10 M.P.H. over the limit.Q:What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
4.
A.Wife and husband. B.Teacher and student. C.Employer and employee. D.Policeman and driver.
正确答案:D 解析:本题的解题关键在于理解a speeding ticket(超速罚单)和10 M.P.H. over the limit(超出时速限制10英里)。女士问:“你为什么要给我开超速罚单?我的时速只有40英里。”男士回答:“你看不懂吗?那都比限速快10英里了。”很明显,两人是警察和司机的关系。
听力原文:W:I can’t understand my notes from Spanish class.M:How about reviewing them now over a cup of tea?Q:What does the man suggest they do about the notes?
5.
A.Forget them until later. B.Go over them right away.
C.Discuss them with Professor Smith. D.Move them away from the tea cup.
正确答案:B
解析:本题的解题关键在于理解男士的话。女士说:“我的西班牙语的课堂笔记有点看不懂。”男士建议说:“要不一边去喝茶,一边复习?”B中的Go over与原文中的reviewing属同义替换。
Section BDirections: This section is to test your ability to understand short conversations. There are 2 recorded conversations in it. After each conversation, there are some recorded questions. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, you should choose the correct answer from the 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D.
听力原文:W:Sam,have you seen the pictures I took in Paris?M:No,I haven’t. Where are they?W:Here are some. I took them at the Eiffel Tower last week.M:How beautiful the Eiffel Tower is!W:Yes,it is really beautiful.M:And your pictures are wonderful,too. Did you have a good time in France?W:Yes,I had a wonderful time there. Have you ever been to France?M:No,I haven’t. How do you like France,Kate?W:It’s great! I like the French people and food. I’ve made many French friends there.
6.
A.They were taken in France. B.Kate is good at taking pictures. C.They were taken by Sam.
D.Sam is interested in taking pictures.
正确答案:A
解析:对话由二人一同欣赏女士在法国拍摄的相片展开。根据have you seen the pictures I took in Paris?和I took them at the Eiffel Tower last week.可知照片是在法国巴黎埃菲尔铁塔照的,因此A是正确答案。
7.
A.She thinks France is not so beautiful. B.She likes the French food a little. C.She likes its people and food. D.She thinks France is very small.
正确答案:C
解析:本题问Kate对于法国的印象如何。根据It’s great! I like the French people and food.可知 Kate认为法国非常棒,她喜欢法国人和法国的食物,因此C是正确答案。考生在预读选项的时候,应该留意到四个选项的主语都是She,谓语是thinks或likes,因此应该能猜测出问题可能询问She对于法国有什么看法,所以在听音时要注意留意女士的回答。
听力原文:W: Can I help you?M: Well. I’m looking for something I saw at a friend’s house a few days ago.W: What is it?M: It’s a light metal shelf.W: You’re in the right department, but we don’t have them in stock now.M: Oh, that’s too bad. Are you going to be getting more?W: They’re on order, but I should warn you that the price has gone up.M: Just my luck.W: They were $12.50, but the new ones will be
about three dollars more. Come in next week. We should have them by then.M: OK. I will be back. Thank you.
8.
A.At a department store. B.In the man’s home. C.In a kitchen. D.In a book store.
正确答案:A
解析:根据女土所说You’re in the right department, hut we don’t have them in stock now. 可以得知对话发生在商店,答案选A。in stock意为“有存货”。
9.
A.A salesman recommended it. B.He saw an advertisement. C.His friend has one. D.He bought one before.
正确答案:C 解析:本题问男士是如何找到他要买的这个东西的。根据对话开始部分男士所说I’m looking for something I saw at a friend’s house a few days ago.可以得知他是几天前在朋友家看到的,答案选C
10.
A.$12.50. B.$12.50. C.$15.50. D.$16.50.
正确答案:C
解析:四个选项都表示价格,因此要注意对话中涉及价钱的地方。根据女士所说They were $12.50。but the new ones will be about three dollars more可知男士要买的轻型铁架原本是$12.50,但进新货以后,价钱会涨$3,即最终价格为$15.50,答案是C
Section CDirections: This section is to test your ability to comprehend short passages. You will hear a recorded passage. After that you will hear five questions. The passage will be spoken twice. When you hear a question, you should complete the answer to it with a word or a short phrase.
听力原文: It was a cold spring morning in London. People walking in the street were wearing heavy clothes. The weather had been very bad for the past week, and now many people were ill. Today there were quite a few people in the doctor’s waiting room. There were still a few minutes before the doctor started seeing the
patients. A woman of about sixty years old was at the front of the queue. She did not live in this city. She came from a farm north of London. She was here to visit her daughter who was a secretary in a big company. She wanted to see the doctor because of her back problem. Soon an Indian came into the waiting room, and walked straight to the doctor’s door. When she saw this, the old woman stood up and took hold of his arm. She said slowly, “We were all here before you. You must wait for your turn. Do... you... understand?” The Indian answered, “No, madam. You don’t understand! You’re all after me! I am the doctor !”
11. Why did many people fall ill?______made a lot of people fall ill.
正确答案:The bad weather 解析:由题干可知这里需要填入一个名词作主语。根据The weather had been very bad for the past week,and now many people were ill.可推断许多人病了是因为近来天气非常不好。
12. Where was the woman’s home?
正确答案:The old woman’s home was in north of London 解析:由题干可知这里需要填入一个表示地点的名词。听录音要仔细留意相关的信息明示词,根据 She did not live in this city. She came from a farm north of London.可以得出正确答案。
13. Whom did the old woman think the Indian was?
正确答案:The old woman’s daughter was a secretary 解析:由题干可知这里需要填入一个表示身份或职业的词。根据She was here to visit her daughter who was a secretary in a big company.可知老人的女儿在一家大公司从事秘书工作。
14. What did the old woman’s daughter do?
正确答案:The old woman thought the Indian was a patient
解析:由题干可知这里需要填入一个表示身份的名词。根据We were all here before you. You must wait for youjr turn.可以得出正确答案,即老人把这位印第安人当成了病人。
15. Who was the Indian?
正确答案:In fact, the Indian was the doctor
解析:由题干可知这里需要填入一个表示身份的名词。根据The Indian answered,“No, madam. You don’t understand! You’re all after me! I am the doctor!”可以得出正确答案。
Part II Vocabulary and Structure (15 minutes)Directions: This part is to
test your ability to construct grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.
Section ADirections: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A , B, C, and D.
16. Helen was much kinder to her youngest child than she was to the others, of course, made the others jealous.
A.what B.who C.which D.that
正确答案:C
解析:which在引导非限制性定语从句时可指代整个主句,相当于and this或and that。as也有这种用法,但一般放在句首,which则放在句中。
17. If I had remembered the window, the thief would not have got in. A.to close B.closing
C.to have closed D.having closed
正确答案:A
解析:主句中有would not have done的形式,可以判断是虚拟从句,也就是说小偷肯定已经进来了,而如果记得去关丁窗子,就不会发生这种事厂,因此用remember to do sth.表示“记得去做某事”。
18. If you a moment, I’ll ask the manager to talk with you about the recent developments of the factory.
A.waited B.are waiting C.wait
D.have waited
正确答案:C
解析:本题中主句为一般将来时,从句是由if引导的条件状语从句,所以从句中用一般现在时表示将来。when,while,before,after,till,once,as soon as,so long as,by the time,if,in case(that), unless,even if,whether,the moment,the minute,the day,the year,immediately等引导的时间状语从句或条件从句中,用一般现在时代替将来时。
19. It is important that a university studentat least one foreign language. A.learn
B.must learn C.learns D.learned
正确答案:A
解析:在It is important/necessary/essential/urgent that...句型中,that引导主语从句,用虚拟语气,使用(should)+动词原形的形式。
20. Once the problem of the engine , all other problems will be readily solved.
A.solve B.solved C.is solved
D.will be solved
正确答案:C
解析:主句中为一般将来时,条件状语从句中常用一般现在时表示将来。又因为主语与谓语为被动关系,所以应该用被动语态。
21. Beneath our feet that our life depends on for food, clothing and many other things.
A.the earth lay B.the earth lies C.lie the earth D.lies the earth
正确答案:D
解析:在一些没有宾语而主语又比较长的句子中,可将状语提到句首,把主语放到句子后面去,形成倒装。本题便属于这种情况,主语the earth由that引导的定语从句来修饰。
22. We all see her and know what kind of woman she is. A.as
B.through C.to D.off
正确答案:B
解析:see through为固定用法,表示“看穿,识破”。
23. Tom and Lily have arrived, but students of the class are not here yet. A.other B.others C.the other
D.the others
正确答案:C
解析:因为此处空格作后面名词students的定语,又因为students是特指该班上除了Tom 和Lily之外的“另外那些(同学)”,所以选the other。
24. Living in the desert of Africa has its problems; obtaining fresh water is not the least.
A.with which B.for which C.of which D.which
正确答案:C 解析:本题为含有非限制性定语从句的主从复合句,其中先行词为problems,which引导定语从句并在从句中作of的宾语,相当于of the problems obtaining fresh water is not the least(problem)。
25. I know nothing about his journey he was likely to be away for three weeks.
A.if B.unless C.until
D.except that
正确答案:D
解析:介词except后面可以跟that引导的从句,意思是“除了……之外”。
Section BDirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each bland with the proper form of the word given in the brackets.
26. The government should take the (initial) ______to end the strike
正确答案:initiative
解析:此处空格为固定用法,应该用其名词形式。
27. (see) ______ from the plane, the lights of the cities at night are just like the stars in the sky.
正确答案:Seen
解析:此处空格与后面句子的主语the lights是被动关系,又是作状语,所以应该用其过去分词形式。
28. All the villagers started off to search for the (miss) ______boy after they
received the call from the parents.
正确答案:missing
解析:此处空格为boy的定语,意为“不见的,缺少的”,所以应该用miss的现在分词形式missing作定语,missing在此处成了形容词。
29. He asked whether he (have) ______ to do the whole experiment again if he failed in a single test.
正确答案:would have
解析:根据时态呼应原财,asked为一般过去时,其后的宾语从句要用过去时态;又因为whether引导的宾语从句本身又是一个主从复合句,从句为if引导的条件状语从句,主句用将来时态,所以此处空格应该用过去将来时。
30. She was so interested in the book that she (read) ______ it for three hours before she realized it.
正确答案:had read
解析:此处空格表示动作发生在before引导的从句中realized的动作之前,所以应该用其过去完成时。
31. Those world famous oil-paintings (exhibit) ______ at the Museum of New York now are part of their collection.
正确答案:being exhibited
解析:此处空格为oil-paintings的后置定语,与oil-paintings为被动关系,又因为后面有now表示“现在”,所以应该用其现在分词的被动形式。
32. (electric) ______in the area has been cut for three hours because of thunderstorm.
正确答案:Electricity
解析:此处空格为句子的主语,所以应该用其名词形式。
33. If it (rain) ______last night, the ground would be wet and the temperature would be low today.
正确答案:had rained
解析:本题为错综时间条件句(即主句谓语与从句谓语表示的动作、发生的时间不同)。是一种特殊的虚拟条件句。从句表示与过去事实相反的假设,主句则表示与现在事实相反的假设,主句、从句谓语动词的虚拟语气形式也因时间不同而不同,所以此处空格应该用过去完成时。
34. All of them are astonished, because such a thing has never______ (hear) of
before.
正确答案:been heard
解析:此处空格为谓语的一部分,与其主语such a thing为被动关系,所以应该用其被动语态。
35. Price is a major ______ (considerate) for people in buying anything.
正确答案:consideration 解析:此处空格作表语,又因为前面有不定冠词a,所以应该用其名词形式。
Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
Nowadays there are more and more ways of going on holiday. More and more people go abroad every year. Some people even go on two or three holidays a year. There are two ‘types of holidaymakers. The first kind always flocks to seaside resorts when they go on holidays. Their one and only aim is to have a good time by sunbathing and putting their feet up. They are not a bit interested in local specialties. At mealtimes, if they can get a plate of British “fish and chip” they are more than happy. They spend their days in the sunshine and their evening getting drunk, then sleep soundly, If this sort of person forgets to pack the suntan oil, he or she undoubtedly come home as red as a lobster(龙虾). The other type of holidaymakers goes to every country to increase their knowledge of foreign lands. They make use of the chance to travel to improve their world knowledge. For them, going on holidays is educational. Consequently, this sort of travelers will move from place to place every few days. If they visit lots of places in a short span of time, there is no way that they can get a proper feeling of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine. Whichever type of holiday chosen, everybody has the same aim: to put their work to the back of their minds, have as much fun as possible and come home happy and relaxed.
36. The aim of the first type of holidaymaker is . A.to enjoy good food B.to enjoy themselves C.to have sunbathing D.to swim in the sea
正确答案:B
解析:根据题干关键词aim of the first type定位到文章第二段第三句话Their one and only aim is to have a good time by sunbathing and putting their feet up(他们唯一的目的就是通过在沙滩上晒日光浴或搁起腿休息来让自己自在高兴。)可知答案为B。
37. The aim of the second type of holidaymakers is . A.to enjoy themselves
B.to appreciate the local food
C.to increase their world knowledge D.to run away from their work
正确答案:C
解析:根据题干关键词aim of the second type定位到文章第三段。根据第二段第二句话They make use of the chance to travel to improve their world knowledge.(他们利用出门旅游的机会来增加对世界的了解。)可知答案选C.
38. If a person visits too many places in a short time, . A.he will have a better knowledge of other countries B.he will eat more various foods C.he will not have a good rest
D.he will not get a true impression of any place
正确答案:D 解析:根据题干关键词too many places in a short time定位到文章第三段第五句If they visit lots of places in a short span of time,there is no way that they can get a proper feeling of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine.(如果他们在很短的时间内游览太多地方的话,他们就不可能对—个地方有真正的了解,也无法充分享受当地的饮食和美酒。)由此,我们可以得出答案为D
39. The common aim of these two kinds of holidaymakers is . A.to increase their knowledge B.to relax themselves
C.to stay away from their home D.to forget something unpleasant
正确答案:B 解析:根据题干关键词common aim定位到文章最后一段。根据everybody has the same aim:to put their work to the back of their minds,have as much fun as possible and come home happy and relaxed (每个人都有相同的目的:把工作抛在脑后,尽情娱乐,轻松愉快地回家来),归纳总结可知B更全面。
40. The best title for this passage is . A.How to Spend Your Holiday
B.Make Full Use of Your Spare Time C.Two Types of Holidaymakers
D.Forget Your Work and Enjoy Yourselves
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查文章的主旨。通读全篇,我们知道这篇文章主要介绍了两种假日游客的不同的外出度假的休闲方式,所以答案选C。holiday maker意思为“度假者;假日游客”。
Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe. Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 per cent of reptile (爬行动物) species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out. European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum. an expert m the Environment and Nature Resources Division of the Council. when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators (管理人员) of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the Council’s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr. Baum had come to present it to the park once again. He was afraid the public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr. Baum clearly remained a stronger supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right. No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction, he were on. The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human de mands for outdoor recreation (消遣) should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future. Dr. Baum went on. “We could manage without most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature, However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of our countryside,, have become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land.”
41. Recent studies by the Council of Europe show that . A.it is only in Britain that wildlife needs more protection
B.many species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out
C.there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere D.certain species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protection
正确答案:B 解析:根据题干关键词studies by the Council of Europe定位到第二段可知,欧洲委员会的研究表明,在其21个成员国中,45%的爬行动物和24%的蝴蝶正面临灭绝,所以推断出在欧洲,许多野生动物都面临着灭绝的危险,所以选B
42. Dr. Baum came to visit one particular British national park mainly because .
A.he was to present the park with a diploma for its achievements B.he was concerned about how the park was being run C.it was the only national park of its kind in Europe
D.it was the only park which had ever received a diploma from the Council
正确答案:A 解析:根据题干关键词British national park定位到第三段第二话,The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the Council’s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality,and Dr. Baum had come to present it to the park once again. (这家公园是少数拥有欧洲委员会颁发的最佳保护自然环境荣誉证书的公园之一。Dr. Baum曾经在此为该公园颁发证书。)所以Dr. Baum去英国国家公园参观的原因是A“为该公园取得的成就颁发了证书”。
43. Dr. Baum believed that .
A.people would support to create more environment areas
B.people would continue to support those national parks in existence C.existing national parks would need to be more independent to survive D.certain national environment areas should be left undisturbed by man
正确答案:D 解析:根据第三段最后一句But Dr. Baum clearly remained a stronger supporter of the view that natural environments needed to do be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.(鲍姆博士坚决支持自然环境有权在不被打扰的环境中存在的观点)可以判断,D所说的某些白然环境保护区应该不受到人们的干扰。和鲍姆博士的观点最为符合。
44. In Dr. Baum’s opinion, a true nature reserve . A.could never survive in modern age
B.should serve immediate human demands for outdoor activities C.should be well protected for the future D.could be converted into a tourist attraction
正确答案:C
解析:根据题干关键词a true nature reserve定位到第四段第二句The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for future.(为将来而保护自然的观点必须代替那种自然保护区必须服务于当前人们对室外娱乐活动的需求的目光短浅的观点),所以他认为应该为了将来好好地保护自然。
45. It is implied in the last paragraph that .
A.industrial products are more important to life system than natural environment areas
B.it is only on islands that true nature reserves exist
C.we have forgotten what our original countryside looked like
D.industrial development should take the responsibility for the reduction of our natural environment areas
正确答案:D 解析:根据文章末段Dr. Baum的话“We could manage without most industrial products,but we could not manage without nature,However,our natural environment areas,which are the original parts of our countryside,have become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land.”(没有大多数工业产品人类也能生存,但没有自然环境人类却无法生存;然而我们那作为乡村原始部分的自然环境地区,已经缩小成为大片的被破坏、污染严重的土地中的一个小岛。)可以推断答案为工业发展应对自然环境保护区的减少负责任。
Task 3Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks.
The first Olympic games were held in 766 B.C. at Olympia, in ancient Greece. After that, the games were held at intervals until 393 A. D., when they were stopped by the Ro man Conquerors. The first game lasted only one day and there was only one contest. It was a short race. Afterwards, additional races and other events were added, and the duration was extended to seven days. The modern Olympic Games were started in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Since then the games have been held every four years in different countries in turn. But there were no games in 1916, 1940 and 1944 because of Word Wars I and II. Athletic contests (track and field events) are still the main feature, but many more sport events have been added, such as swimming, diving, gymnastics, weight lifting. The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, which is lighted on Mount Olympus by the sun’s rays. The Olympic Flame burns throughout the games until the closing ceremony. The Olympic flag is one with five interlocking rings of different colors, which symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the games. The Olympic Games

50.
正确答案:a/one continent
解析:根据文章末段The Olympic flag is one with five interlocking rings of different colors,which symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the games.可知五环代表五大洲,那么一环即代表一个大洲。所以考生要理解文章后再组织答案,使它更符合题目提问形式。

Task 5Directions: The following is a passage. After reading the passage you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No.56 through No.60) following them.
Samuel: a Prisoner in His Own Flat In some ways, Samuel is luckier than many old people. He lives in a brand new flat that’s warm and comfortable. But he feels trapped. He’s eighty-seven, has sight only in one eye and has great difficulty in breathing. Even a short walk down to the local shops would prove far too much for him. And to make matters worse, he had to move from his own home in East London to his new flat, because he was unable to live by himself any longer.

Part IV Translation from English to Chinese (25 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. There are 4 sentences, numbered 61 through 64, and a short paragraph ( No. 65 ) in this part. Write your translation in the corresponding space.
61. This is the last place where I expected to meet you. A.这是最后一个地方,在这里,我期待着能见到你。 B.这是最后一个我期待着能见到你地方。 C.我怎么也没有料到会在这里见到你。 D.我没想到会见到你在这里。
正确答案:C
解析:本题的关键在于对the last place的理解。这虽然是一种定的形式,但表达的是否定概念。例如:He would be the last man to do such foolish things.(他决不会干这种蠢事。),He is the last man I want to see in the world.(他是这世界上我最不想见到的人。)where从句不是状语从句,所以A错误;where从句为定语从句,修饰先行问place。The,place where I expected to meet you可译为“一个我期待着能见到你的地方”。但是前面加上last,不能按字面意思翻译成“最后一个我期待着能见到你地方”,所以B也不妥;D项表达不符合汉语表述习惯。相比之下,C更合理一些。
62. One cold winter day,a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left.
A.一个寒冷的冬天,一个贫穷的小男孩为了攒够学费正挨家挨户地推销商品。饥寒交迫的他摸遍全身,却只有一角钱。
B.一个寒冷的冬天,一个通过挨家挨户地卖东西来付去上学的路费的贫穷的小男孩发现他挣的钱都丢了,身上只剩一毛钱了。
C.一个通过挨家挨户地卖东西来付去上学的路费的贫穷的小男孩发现他自己一整天只挣了一毛钱。
D.一个寒冷的冬天,一个贫穷的小男孩正挨家挨户地推销商品——这是他赚取学费的方式,却发现他全身仅有一角钱。
正确答案:A
解析:该句的主干结构为a poor boy found...其中Who引导—个定语从句,修饰a poor boy;by selling goods door to door是方式状语,即赚取学费的方式;that引导的从句作found的宾语。pay one’s way through school意为“凭自己赚钱完成学业。半工半读”。B和C项中pay one’s way through school翻译错误,而且B项有增译现象(发现他挣的钱都丢了,C项有漏译现象(有一天); A的翻译比D项更符合汉语逻辑,语义也更完整:
63. We live in a time when,more than ever before in history,people are moving about.
A.我们在那里住了一段时间,当时,比历史上以往任何时期都多的人们都在四处走动。
B.我们在那里住了一段时间,当时,人们正在比历史上任何时期都多地四处走动。
C.我们生活在一个时代里,在这个时代里,人们正在比历史上任何时期都
多地四处走动。
D.我们生活在一个人们四处奔波甚于历史上任何时期的时代。
正确答案:D
解析:本题的解题关键有两点:首先要判断when引导的足状语从句还是定语从句。live后有介词短语作状语,when引导的是定语从句来修饰a time(time前加a表示时期);其次,when people are moving about这个定语从句被比较状语more than ever before in history分隔。A和B项的翻译中“我们在那里住了一段时间”是对原文错误的理解,A项对于more than ever before in history的翻译也不正确;C的大意正确,但表述不如D项更精确,更符合汉语习惯,
64. Cutting up dead animals to find out about their organs and how these functioned was thought a disgusting thing to do,and to cut up a human body,even though dead,was thought to be evil.
A.切碎死亡的动物来发现它们的器官和它们如何作用被认为是一件恶心的事情。而且,切碎人的身体,即使是死的,也被认为是一种邪恶。
B.切碎动物尸体以发现它们的器官及其功能被视作是一件令人恶心的事情;而且切碎人的尸体也被认为是一种邪恶。
C.解剖动物尸体,了解各动物器官及其功能,这在当时是件令人生厌的事情;而解剖人体,即使是死人,也是大逆不道。
D.解剖动物尸体,了解各动物器官及其功能,这在当时是件令人生厌的事情;而且通过解剖动物尸体来学习如何解剖人体也是不道德的。
正确答案:C
解析:本题的解题关键在于理解本题是由and连接的两个并列句。第一个句子是动名词短语Cutting up dead animals...how these functioned作主语;在这个主语中包含一个目的状语find out about their organs and how these functioned;在这个目的状语中how these functioned作find out about的宾语,其中these指代前面的名词organs。第二个句子是to cut up a human body作主语。另外,还要注意cut up 有“切碎”的意思,但此处按照语境来翻译成“解剖”要更好一些。因此A和B不妥;D项后半部分的翻译也是错误的,存在增译现象(通过解剖动物尸体来学习如何解剖人体)。

解析:这是一封求职信的正文部分。翻译时要注意这种应用文文体的风格和表达习惯,如apply for可以表示“请求,申请”,但在这里翻译成“应聘”更贴切:position可以表示“位置,形势”,但在这里表示的是“职位”。此外,注意以下词(组)的翻译:qualified for“胜任”;considering“考虑到,鉴于”Enclosed“随信寄去”;at your convenienee”在您方便的时候”。
