1.【答案】achieve something or fulfill your ambitions

本题考查短语搭配。“取得成就”可以有这样的表达：make achievements或achieve something，前者“成就”作名词，后者作动词。“实现雄心壮志”中“实现”可选用realize，fulfill，此外make…come true，carry…out也有实现梦想/理想之意。

2.【答案】always makes adequate preparations

“作准备”的表达有：prepare…for; make preparations for…“充分的”可选形容词有：enough，

sufficient，adequate，而well-prepared多在句中充当表语成分，如：His counsel was well-prepared.他的律师做了充分准备。

3.【答案】All that is needed is

此句不要受汉语思维的影响用only来翻译，“唯一要做的”，其实是“你所需要做的一切”。

4.【答案】without written permission from the publishing house ①介词短语：without written permission表示“未经允许”;②written permission表示“(书面)允许”;③the publishing house表示“出版社”。

5.【答案】is most clearly observable in the surrounding field and river ①is most clearly observable表示“完全可以看出来”，句型The effect of…is…observable.表示“……的效果是可以看出的”;②surrounding field and river表示“周围的田野和河 6.【答案】another common point between the people of our two countries

本题通过增补介词使译文的意思更完整。虽然原文没有和between相对应的词，但是“共同点”是两国人民之间在某方面进行比较的结果，所以增补between之后，符合英语表达习惯。增词法也是汉译英中常用技巧之一。

7.【答案】were widely read in English-speaking countries

这句话易被错译为were widely read in English countries。原文中“英语国家”的含义是“讲英语的国家”。又如：我卖掉了彩电。I sold out my color TV.这句译文错误在于，没弄清“彩电”的含义。其有两层意思：一是指具体的实物，即彩色电视机color TV set;二是指屏幕上出现的影像，即彩色电视color TV。这都体现了英汉表达差异。

8.【答案】and so does reform

考点有二：①考查词性转移。原文中“解放”用作动词，“生产力”作宾语。译文中处理成名词短语“对生产力的解放”。②考查省译法。我们不能把原文译成and reform also means the emancipation of the productive forces，这种结构显得累赘。为避免重复，可选用and so does…来代替这个动宾结构。

9.【答案】about the present development of information industry

“对……表示乐观”可以用句型be optimistic about sth.。这句话不能译成about the status of the present development of information industry。“状况”是一个范畴词，没有实际含义，可省略不译。

10.【答案】serve the economic development

“服务于……”即“为……服务”，所以要用serve sb./sth.的结构，不能译成be served to。“进程”也是一个范畴词，可以省略不译。另外，be subordinated to是一个固定结构，含义是“从属于……隶属于……”。

11本题考查对“only+不定式”结构的掌握。此结构相当于一个结果状语，意为“结果却……”，表示事情的发展与预料相反。如：He rushed all the way to the station only to miss the train.他一路奔跑赶到车站，可是车已经开走了。

12.【答案】in appearance but not in character

①in appearance表示“外表”，往往包括衣着，而looks 复数形式表示容貌，单数形式则表示“表情、神色”，尤指高兴时的表情;②in character表示“性格”。

13.【答案】than go on holiday to the seaside

①虚拟语气：than go on holiday表示“不如……”，其结构为：主语+would rather+动词谓语+than+动词原形，表示“宁可……”、“与其……不如(做)，不愿”。②on holiday表示“度假”。③seaside表示“海滨”。

14.【答案】through facial expressions and by making noises

本题要注意介词的选择。同样是表示方法途径，前后的介词选择却有不同，考生要注意比较和记忆。

15.【答案】what really made me decide to buy it

本题考查对what引导的主语从句的掌握。根据句子结构，前半句是although引导的让步状语从句，而主句中只有系表结构，缺少主语，故需要翻译的部分应该是一个主语

（二）

1. ________________(不论演奏过多少回)，the works of Beethoven always attract large audiences.

2. When you get men into that state of anger, ________________(他们很容易出麻烦).

3. ______________________________(尽管我很崇拜他是个作家), I don't like him as a man.

11. _______________(不管观众中的一些人如何使劲地难为他), the comedian always had a quick, sharp reply.

12. It is not yet known _______________(机器人是否有一天能拥有象人一样的视力).

13. His remarks left me ________________(想知道他的真实目的).

14. If you had_____________________ (听从了我的劝告，你就不会陷入麻烦).

15. The government was accused ______________(没能实现其改善城市交通状况的承诺). 1.【答案】No matter how frequently performed

考查no matter how“无论如何”引导的状语从句。

2.【答案】they are apt to make trouble

①be apt to表示“易于做某事”，指人的机体或精神上的固有的或习惯的倾向等;②make trouble表示“惹麻烦”。

3.【答案】Much as I admire him as a writer

①让步状语从句：much as表示“尽管??”，as 引导的让步状语从句，其主要结构为：形容词/副词/名词+

as/though + 主语+ 谓语，much表示程度;②admire him as a writer译为“崇拜他是作家”。

4.【答案】while his mind was wandering

①while表示“却??”;②mind was wandering表示“胡思乱想”。

5.【答案】can we adapt(ourselves)to the society quickly after we graduate

本题考查对倒装句、adapt的用法以及after引导的时间状语从句的掌握。only引起的状语位于句首时，句子须部分倒

装。本题中要将情态动词can提前。adapt作“适应”解时常用于adapt(oneself)to sth.的结构。 6.【答案】What he really hopes for

本题考查主语从句。例如：What matters to us is how to make our campus life meaningful and fruitful.对我们来说，重要的是如何让我们的校园生活有意义、有收获。
