很少有机会外出旅行。然而，近年来中国旅游业发展迅速。经济的繁荣和富裕中产阶级的出现，引发了一

个前所未有的旅游热潮。中国人不仅在国内旅游，出国旅游也越来越普遍。2016年国庆节假日期间，旅游

消费总计超过4000亿元。据世界贸易组织估计，2020年中国将成为世界上最大的旅游国，在未来几年里将

成为出境旅游支出增长最快的国家。

PartⅢReadingComprehension

名词：舞台，竞技场；数字；es假设；a惯性，惰性；t授权，

授权令

动词：d献身于，把……专用于；加速；ing损害；orate合并，使并入；

e放纵，使沉溺于；以……为豪；g收获

形容词：tual上下文的，情境的，前后关联的；cing有说服力的，使人信服的；nite

不确定的

26．es。

27．tual。

13

28．。空格位于形容词之后，据此判断可填入名词，并与public连用构成固定搭配。故推测句

意为“我们的国家需要更多科学家登上公共舞台”。因此填入“舞台，竞技场”。在备选项中，digitS意

为“数字”，inertia意为“惯性，惰性”，warrant意为“授权，授权令”，均不符合文意，且不能与public搭配，

故排除。

29．cing。空格位于以that引导的定语从句中，此定语从句使用了主系表结构，据此判断应填

入形容词，且此形容词可以用来修饰language“语言”。根据句意“他们能够用令人信服并且让人们听得懂的

语言，对公众解释自己的所作所为”可知，答案为cing“有说服力的，使人信服的”。在备选项中，

indefinite意为“不确定的”，与文意相反，故排除。

30．orate。

31．d。

32．g。空格位于句子的主体结构之外，描述主句动词所引发的结果，属于结果状语成分，据

此判断可填人现在分词。根据句意“美国将大约17％的可支配收入专门用于科学研究，________了数十年的

经济增长”可知，答案为g“收获”。在备选项中，impairing意为“损害”，不符合文意，故排除。

33．。

34．。空格位于句子的谓语动词处，且此动词应能够与on构成固定搭配，备选项中只有

“以……为豪”，符合语法要求。所在旬意为“我们不仅为我们的科研质量自豪，也为我们的科研为改

进世界所做出的贡献自豪”。在备选项中，hasten意为“加速”，indulge意为“放纵，使沉溺于”，均与文意不

符，故排除。

额并引领着创新。但是现在这些产品的增长曲线已经减缓——或者在某些情况下市场份额已经缩水——因

为消费者没有那么想要花钱买一些新的玩意儿了。题干中的electronicdevices指原文中酶smartphones，

televisions，tablets，laptopsanddesktops；declining和notgrowing对应原文中的slowergrowthcurves和

PassageOne

46．A.。

47．C.。由题干中的“free—riders”定位到文章第三段第一句：DevelopednationssuchasAustralia，theUnited

States．．．causingthemajorityoftheproblemsthroughhighgreenhougamissions，whileincurringfewofthe

costssuchasclimatechange’simpactonfoodandwater．

事实细节题。定位句指出，少数发达国家在碳排放方面责任最大，但是因气候变化而付出的代价却较

小，作者在随后一句中解释说，他们因消费矿物燃料而受益，却对气候变化带来的问题没有负相应的责任，

这与搭便车者相似，受益而不付出什么代价。可见，作者的意思是指他们几乎不需要为他们所引发的问题

负责，故答案为C.。

A.“他们不需要为自己所消耗的食物和水担忧”，根据定位句，食物和水只是气候变化可能引发的部分问

题，作者是用于举例，不可以偏概全，故排除；B.“他们能够更好地应对全球气候变化”，作者在定位句及随

后的句子中明确指出，他们是不为自己引发的问题负责，而没有提到应对能力的问题，可以排除；D.“他们

不受影响‘被迫上车的乘客’的温室效应的干扰”，“被迫上车的乘客”只是一个比喻，该项将温室效应和“被

迫上车的乘客”联系在一起，是对文章的曲解，可以排除。

48．C.。

49．B.。

50．D.。

PassageTwo

(51)面临抑郁、焦虑和自杀风险的青少年，常常把自己的问题表现得如同霓虹灯标识一般明目昭彰。他

们的一些危险行为——过量饮酒、使用违禁药品、抽烟以及逃学——能够警示家长和老师严重的问题即将

发生。

但是一项新的研究显示，另一个青少年群体几乎面临着同样严重的精神病征风险：那些大量使用多媒

体，睡眠不足和不爱活动的孩子。

当然，这听上去像是在说这个星球上的每一个青少年。但研究警示，在上述三个方面均有极端表现的

孩子才是真正的高危人群。(53)由于他们的行为通常并不被视为危险信号，这些年轻人被研究者标记为“隐

形风险”人群。

“从某种意义上讲，他们更易深陷困境，”研究人员弗拉基米尔·卡利说，“大多数家长、老师和医生会对

青少年滥用药品或酗酒有所反应，而却很容易忽视这些深陷此类难以察觉的行为的青少年。”

研究者们调查了12395名学生，分析了九种风险行为，包括酗酒、使用违禁药品、吸烟成瘾、过量使

用多媒体和逃学。其目的在于确定青少年中存在的这些高危行为和精神健康问题之间的相互关系。

大约58％的学生没有表现出或极少表现出这些高危行为。大约l3％的学生在全部九种高危行为上计分

尤其高。而29％为“隐形风险”群体，在三类行为上计分尤其高：他们每天花在电子设备上的时间在五个小

时以上；他们晚间的睡眠只有或少于六个小时；他们忽视“其他健康活动”。

在全部九种高危行为上都有高计分的群体最易表现出抑郁症症状；整体来看，这个群体中有15％报告

有抑郁倾向，而低风险群体只有4％报告存在这类问题。(54)但隐形风险人群也与高危人群相差无几，他们

15

中有13％表现出抑郁症状。

研究结果令卡利始料未及。“我们十分震惊，”他说，“高危人群和低危群体是显而易见的，(52)但是这

个第三类群体不仅是出乎意料的，而且十分明显，数量庞大——占我们样本数量的三分之一——成为这个

研究的关键性发现。”

(55)卡利说，他的研究最为关键的一点在于为家长、教师和精神保健服务人员提供新的早期警示信号。

尽早发现，并对精神健康问题提供支持和治疗，他说，这对于防止他们变成完全意义上的失常者是最佳的

方法。

1．翻译第一句时，“随着生活水平的提高”可像参考泽文那样译为With伴随结构，也可译为as引导的

时间状语从句，即Aslivingstandardsimprove，其中“提高”还可译为goup，upgrade，ri，enhance等。“在……

中的作用越来越重要”可以直译为Nayanincreasinglyimportantrolein…，也可像参考译文那样，意译为“占

据越来越重要的地位”。

2．翻译第二句时，可以把中国人作为主语，即Chinepeoplespendmostoftheirtimein…，andthey

ldomhavechanceto…，也可像参考泽文那样，将“谋生”作为主语，即“谋生花费了人们大量的时间，使得

他们很少有机会外出旅行”。其中，“谋生”还可泽为earnaliving，ekalivelihood等。

3．翻译第三句时，“中国旅游业发展迅速”除了像参考译文那样意泽为“经历了快速发展”以外，还可直

泽为China’stourismindustryhasdevelopedrapidlyinrecentyears。

4．翻译第四句时，关键点是“引发”的译法，除了译为trigger以外，还可译为bringabout，giverito

等。“前所未有的”最常见的译法是unprecedented。

5．翻译第五句时，关键是表示“不仅……也……”的notonly…butalso…的使用，notonly位于句首时，

前半句使用倒装语序，后半句使用陈述语序。除了参考译文的泽法外，本句简单的译法是把“中国人”作为主

语，即NotonlydoChinepeopletraveldomestically，buttheytravelabroadmoreandmoreoft,enaswell．“受

欢迎”既可译为popular，还可译为enjoyapopularity。

6．翻译第六句时，关键点是“总计”的翻译，除可译为amotmtto以外，还可泽为addupto等。

7．翻译第七旬时，主要是时态的使用，“2020年中国将成为世界上最大的旅游国”应该使用将来完成时，

“在未来几年里将成为出境旅游支出增长最快的国家”应使用一般将来时。其中，“将成为出境旅游支出增长

最快的国家”可直译为willbecomeacountrywiththefastest—growingoverastravelexpen，还可像参考译

文那样意译为“见证旅游支出的最快增长”。
