| 您的答案是: 正确答案:B 解析:本题考查谓语动词的时态。句中的时间状语是表示将来的next week,所以谓语动词应该用表示将来的形式,选项A、B中的be to do sth.可以表示将来,又因为要作第三人称单数的谓语,故选项B为正确答案。 | | |
17. The project is designed to provide young people______work. | 分值 | |

| A.has been waiting | B.has waited | C.had been waiting | D.waited | |
| 您的答案是: 正确答案:C 解析:本题考查的是主、从句谓语动词时态一致的用法。by the time意思是“到什么时间为止”,从句的时态是一般过去时,说明主句的动作应该发生在从句的动作之前。且主句中有表示一段时间的状语for one hour,所以应该用过去完成进行时,故选项C为正确答案。 | | |
21. He was fined by the traffic policeman for he rode his bicycle on the ____ side of the street. | 分值 | |
| A.other | B.poor | C.wrong | D.another | |
| 您的答案是: 正确答案:C 解析:本题考查的是形容词的用法。从主句的谓语was fined一词可知原因状语从句一定是解释他为什么会被罚款,而我们知道只有违反交通规则的情况下才会出现这种情况,因此只能用on the wrong side这一词组,故选项C为正确答案。 | | |
22. ______wants to e the movie may get a free ticket. | 分值 | |
| A.Who | B.That | C.If who | D.Whoever | |

24. No sooner ______ arrived at the station than it began to snow. | 分值 | |
| A.had I | B.I had | C.have I | D.I have | |
| 您的答案是: 正确答案:A 解析:本题考查的是句型no sooner…than+从句的用法。意思是“一……就……”,no sooner含有否定词。而含有否定词的状语位于句首时,主句的主语和谓语要部分倒装;又因为从句的时态是一般过去时,决定了前面的时态应该用过去完成时,故选项A为正确答案。 | | |
25. ______ I can't help admiring the man's courage, I do not approve of his methods. | 分值 | |

29. It takes(much)______ time to go there by train than by plane. | 分值 | |
| | 您的答案是: 正确答案:more 解析:本题考查形容词比较级的用法。句中出现了比较连词than,这决定了前面必须有形容词或副词的比较级出现.所以用much的比较级more。 | | |
great怎么读30. He had moral objections to(kill)______animals for food. | 分值 | |
| | 您的答案是: 正确答案:killing 解析:本题考查介词后接动名词的用法。objection to sth./doing sth.是固定搭配,意思是“反对、厌恶做某事”,此处的to是介词,所以后面需要用kill的动名词形式killing。 | | |
31. I began to learn the guitar, and(discover)_ that I was pretty good at it. | 分值 | |
| | 您的答案是: 正确答案:discovered 解析:本题考查并列结构的时态。句中出现了并列连词and,说明discover是一个并列结构,但是具体用动词原形还是过去式就要看和前面的哪个谓语并列。因为and前面用逗号隔开,可知discover是与前半句的谓语began并列,而不是与learn并列。为了在时态上保持一致,所以用discover的过去式discovered。 | | |
32. He(work)______ in that city for eight years before he moved here. | 分值 | |
| | 您的答案是: 正确答案:had been working 解析:本题考查谓语动词的时态。由before引导的时间状语从句是一般过去时,又通过连词before可以看出主句的动作发生在从句动作之前,并且状语“for eight years”表示持续了一段时间,所以留空处需要用过去完成进行时had been working。 | | |
33. Nancy studied there and(regard)______as the top student in the class. | 分值 | |
| | 热卖英文您的答案是: 正确答案:was regarded 解析:本题考查被动语态的使用。句中有并列连词and出现.这说明给出的单词regard需要用动词形式。主语Nancy是需填入的单词regard的承受者,必须用被动语态;句子前一个谓语动词studied使用一般过去时,所以用regard的被动语态的过去时.又因为句子主语Nancy是单数。故答案是was regarded。 | | |
34. The(relative)______ recent outbreak of street protests largely reflects the frustration of young people unable to find jobs. | 分值 | |
| | 您的答案是: 正确答案:relatively 解析:本题考查副词的用法。题目中recent是形容词,而relative也是形容词,因为英语中形容词不可能直接修饰形容词,只有把relative变成副词.才能修饰形容词recent。relative的副词形式是relatively,意思是“相对地”。 | | |
35. She loves parties so much that she is always the last(leave)______. | 分值 | |
| | 您的答案是: 正确答案:to leave 解析:本题考查动词不定式作定语的用法。英语中由only,last,next等序数词或形容词最高级修饰的名词常用不定式作定语。本题中的the last其实省略了one,因此其后需要使用不定式作后置定语,故答案是toleave。 | | |

Some people argue that lf-plagiarism(自我剽窃)is impossible by definition becau plagiarism is theft and people cannot steal from their own work. But, this is not correct in law. And there are circumstances, such as insurance fraud(保险欺诈), etc., when it is possible to steal from onelf. Self-plagiarism, however, must be carefully distinguished from the recycling of one's work that to a greater or lesr extent everyone legally does. Self-plagiarism in academic(学术的)publications is a gray area. However, many universities indirectly recognize the practice as deceptive. They publish rules preventing students from handing in basically the same essay for credit in different cours. There are also rules against someone handing in the same graduate thesis to different universities. Among established academics, lf-plagiarism is a problem. It means basically the same article or book is handed in on more than one occasion for salary raising or promotion. Like all plagiarism the esnce of lf-plagiarism is the author' attempts to cheat the reader. This happens when no indication is given that the work is being recycled or when an effort is made to disgui the original text. For example, an author just makes cosmetic changes to make the same article, chapter, or book look different. But actually it remains unchanged in its central argument. In this ca, disguising a text occurs. Authors change such things as paragraph breaks, capitalization, or the substitution of technical terms in different languages.

Part IV Translation from English to Chine (25 minutes) Directions: This part is to test your ability to translate English into Chine. There are 4 ntences, numbered 61 through 64, and a short paragraph ( No. 65 ) in this part. Write your translation in the corresponding space. | |
61. People were not fully aware that peace of mind was very important for health. | 分值 | |
| A.人们过去并未充分了解心灵的宁静对健康极为重要。 | B.如果人们能感觉到大脑的平静,那将对健康极为重要。 | C.人们过去对于心灵的宁静对健康的极端重要性并不了解。 | D.大脑的平静对健康极为重要,这一点人们尚未充分意识到。 | |
| 您的答案是: 正确答案:A 解析:A-C-D-B该句是一个主系表结构的复合句。译好本句的关键在于把握好短语“be aware of”的意思,该短语意为“意识到,了解”。如果被意识到或了解的对象由一个从句来表达,则该结构就变为“be aware that”。另外该动作有一个限制语“fully”(充分地),不可忽视。还需注意的是名词短语“peace of mind”意为“心灵的宁静”。基于上述分析,对比四个选项不难看出,选项A的翻译最为恰切。选项C漏译状语“fully”(充分地),稍逊于A项。选项D误将原句的一般过去时译为现在完成时“尚未”。同时还将“mind”错译为“大脑”,故而不妥。选项B的翻译与原句的结构差别最大,该选项将原句的结构变为一个含假设关系的主从复合句,同时在对“mind”的理解上还犯了与选项D相同的错误,属四个选项中之最不可取的。 | | |
62. Great efforts should be made to inform the public of the terrible conquences of neglecting environmental protection. | 分值 | |
| A.公众已经在了解保护环境的结果上做了很大努力。 | B.应大力向公众宣传忽视环境保护的可怕后果。 | C.应花大力气通知公众忽视环境保护的可怕后果。 | D.人们已经在向大众宣传保护环境的结果上做了很大努力。 | |
| 您的答案是: 正确答案:B 解析:B-C-D-A译好本句的关键在于把握好其中动词不定式的功能及部分短语的意思。首先该不定式表达的是前半部分“Great efforts should be made”(应该下大力气)的目的,即解释说明“下大力气”是要干什么。另外该不定式中有一动词短语“inform sb.of sth.”(告知某人某事.通知或报告某人某事),此处根据上下文应取“告知某人某事”之义,即“向某人宣传”之义。结合上述分析可发现,四个选项中选项B的翻译为最佳。选项C脱离上下文将“inform”理解为“通知”,并不可取。选项D的问题首先体现在将情态动词“should”(应当)误译为“has”(已经),犯了时态上的错误;另外该选项还漏译了“terrible”和“neglecting”二词,与原意大大背离。A项重复了D项的错误,此外还将“the public”(公众)从动作作用的对象变为动作的发出者,故而为四项中问题最多的。 | | |
63. Without reading the required books before class, students will find it difficult to understand the class. | 分值 | |
| A.如学生课前没有按要求看书,他们会觉得难以听懂授课内容。 | B.如学生课前不阅读指定书目,他们会觉得难以听懂授课内容。 | C.如学生课前不看书,他们会很难找到授课内容。 | D.如学生不和同学一起按要求看书,他们很难找到授课内容。 | |
| 您的答案是: 正确答案:B 解析:B-A-C-D翻译本句需把握好两个要点:一为“without”引导的伴随状语,该状语在此处表示前提、条件,可理解为“如果……”,其中“required books”意为“指定书目”:第二个要点是“find it difficult to do sth.”这一结构,需要注意的是该结构中“it”为形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式,所以可理解为“觉得难以……,发现难以……”。从整体来看,此处可译为“觉得难以听懂授课内容”。结合上述分析,四个选项中B项为最佳答案。选项A由于错误理解“required”一词,将其译为“按照要求”,因而不妥。选项C漏译“required”一词,并将“understand”译为“找到”,丢失了原文中“find”所表达的“觉得”之义。故不及选项A。选项D集合了A选项和C选项的错误。另外还错将“before class”理解为“在同学面前,和同学一起”,属四个选项中翻译得最糟糕的。 | | |
64. Only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. | 分值 | |
| A.有这样一个独一无二的很有能力的女人,站在衣柜前将自己的衣服都打包,然后哀叹自己其实没有买什么衣服。 | B.这是唯一的一个站在衣柜前将自己的衣服都打包,然后哀叹自己无衣可穿的女人。 | C.只有女人才会站在装满衣服的衣柜前哀叹无衣可穿。 | D.唯有女人才有能力这样:站在衣服满满的衣柜前却哀叹无衣可穿。 | |
| 您的答案是: 正确答案:C 解析:C-D-B-A本句翻译的难点首先体现在对主语“a woman”的理解上,此处非特指某一个女人,而是泛指女人这个群体。该句的表语中包含短语“be capable of doing sth.”,该短语意为“能够,会,具有……的能力”。“of”之后有两个动作,分别为“standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes”和“announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear”。理解前者时要注意“packed full of clothes”(装满衣服的)是“awardrobe”的定语,相当于“a wardrobe which is packed full of clothes”(装满衣服的衣柜)。基于以上分析可以看出,选项C为最佳答案。选项D的问题在于将“be capable”直译成“有能力的”,不够严密,因为此处不是指女人才有能力哀叹无衣可穿,而是只有女人才会这样做。选项B错译了不定冠词“a”,同时还将“a wardrobe”的定语译为一个独立的动作“将自己的衣服都打包”,稍逊于D项。A项集合了B、D两项的错误,并将最后的“无衣可穿”误译为“没买什么衣服”,故为四个选项中最不可取的。 | | |
65. Thanks to the means of modern transportation and communication, the world is getting smaller and smaller. The whole world community appears to be no more than a large global village, where the residents come together with different cultural backgrounds and values. While experiencing the inevitable cultural exchanges as well as cultural clashes, the "villagers" ek to live in harmony. | 分值 | |
| | 您的答案是: 正确答案:多亏了现代交通和通讯手段的发展,世界变得越来越小。整个世界看起来就像一个很大的地球村,村里居住着拥有不同文化背景和价值观的人们。在经历不可避免的文化交流、文化冲突的同时,“村民们”也在力求和谐共处。 解析:翻译第一句话时,需注意“Thanks to”意为“因为,由于”,原文中虽然并无“发展”一词,但其意义已隐含在原文中,因此翻译时需要点明;另外这样翻译也更通顺一些。第二句中需正确理解短语“be nomore than”的意思,该短语意为“仅仅,不过”,强调“除此无它”。该句中的非限制性定语从句由“where”引导,可将“where”理解为“在这个地球村里”,承前省略时可译为“村里”,其原意是指“村里拥有不同文化背景和价值观的居民聚集到一起”,此处为表达通顺地道,转译为“村里居住着拥有不同文化背景和价值观的人们”。最后一句中需注意动词短语“ek to”的含义,该短语意为“设法、试图”,故此处处理为“力求”。 | | |
