Yur Brain Separates Speech and Music
Peple generally dn’t cnfuse the sunds f singing and talking. That may seem bvius, but it’s actually quite ____21____ — particularly because we can usually differentiate between the tw even when we encunter a language r musical type we’ve never heard befre. Hw exactly des the human brain s ____22____ and instantaneusly make such judgments?
Scientists have a relatively ____23____ understanding f hw the sunds f speech are transfrmed int sentences and hw musical sunds mve us emtinally. At the very beginning, when sund waves ____24____ ur ear, they activate the auditry nerve within a part f the inner ear called the cchlea. That, in turn, ____25____ signals t the brain. Next, these signals travel the s-called auditry pathway, first t the sub-regin fr prcessing all kinds f sunds, and then t ____26____ music r language sub-regins. Depending n which sub-regin the signal ends up, a persn ____27____ the sund as a particular type f meaningful infrmatin — and can differ a piece f music frm a spken sentence.
That’s the brad-strkes stry f sund prcessing. But it remains surprisingly unclear hw exactly ur perceptual system differentiates these sunds within the auditry pathway. Certainly there are bvius ____28____: music and speech wavefrms have distinct pitches (tnes sunding high r lw), timbres (qualities f sund), phnemes (speech-sund units) and meldies. But the brain’s auditry pathway des nt prcess all thse elements ____29____ . Cnsider the example f sending a letter in the mail frm: The letter’s cntents prvide a(n) _____30_____ explanatin f its purpse, but the envelpe must still indicate its destinatin. Similarly, _____31_____ speech and music are packed with infrmatin, ur brain needs sme mre direct cues t rapidly determine which regins t engage.
The questin fr neurscientists, therefre, is what triggers the brain t decide whether t send incming sund t the language r music regins fr detailed _____32_____ , and ne assumptin abut the evlutinary rigin f music itself is wrth highlighting. It is believed that music effectively builds scial _____33_____ within a sciety by harmnizing multiple peple’s activities. This is supprted by previus studies shwing that peple cnnect mre clsely when they mve tgether at the same pace. Therefre, it’s pssible that fr music t serve its evlutinary functin, it needs t be at a speed that allws fr cmfrtable human mvement, thus making it mre _____34_____ fr human brains than its cunterpart.
As t hw the brain differentiates music frm speech in the auditry pathway, we suspect there is mre t uncver. And we believe there is mre than ne factr that can help explain ur brain’s amazing _____35_____ fr discriminatin.

【A】
Many f the festivals f the great religins f the wrld are celebrated with a special meal. A chance fr family and friends t cme tgether acrss generatins; the act f sharing fd adding t hspitality and tgetherness. Fr sme, faith will be uppermst in their hearts. Fr thers, it will be the jy f fellwship and the giving f presents.
It is als a time when we remember thse wh are n lnger with us and think als f thse whse wrk f caring fr thers cntinues, even n this special day. This care and sympathy we shw t thers is ne f the themes f the Christmas stry, especially when Mary and Jseph were ffered shelter in their hur f need by strangers, as they waited fr Jesus t be brn.
Over this past year my heart has been warmed by cuntless examples f the imaginative ways in which peple are caring fr ne anther — ging the extra mile t help thse arund them simply because they knw it is the right thing t d: at wrk and at hme; within and acrss cmmunities.
My wife and I were delighted when hundreds f representatives f that selfless army f peple — vlunteers wh serve their cmmunities in s many ways and with such distinctin — were able t help us. They are an essential backbne f ur sciety. Their presence meant s much t us bth and emphasized ur cre value itself: abve all, a call t us all t serve ne anther; t lve and care fr all.
Service als lies at the heart f the Christmas stry — the birth f Jesus wh came t serve the whle wrld, shwing us by his wn example hw t lve ur neighbr as urselves. Thrughut the year, my family have witnessed hw peple f all ages are making a difference t their cmmunities. This is all the mre imprtant at a time f real hardship fr many, when we need t build n existing ways t supprt thers less frtunate than urselves.
During my lifetime I have been s pleased t see a grwing awareness f hw we must prtect the Earth and ur natural wrld as the ne hme which we all share. I find great inspiratin nw frm the way s many peple recgnize this. And at a time f increasingly tragic cnflict arund the wrld, I pray that we can als d all in ur pwer t prtect each ther. The wrds f Jesus seem mre than ever relevant: “d t thers as yu wuld have them d t yu.” Such values are universal, drawing us and a wider wrld tgether. They remind us t imagine urselves in the shes f ur neighbrs, and t seek their gd as we wuld ur wn.
S n this Christmas Day my heart and my thanks g t all wh are serving ne anther; all wh are caring fr ur cmmn hme; and all wh see and seek the gd f thers, nt least the friend we d nt yet knw. In this way, we bring ut the best in urselves. I wish yu a Christmas f ‘peace n Earth and gdwill t all’, tday and always.

A study by French researchers that was published last mnth in the Jurnal Animal Cgnitin fund that nt nly d cats react t what scientists call cat-directed speech ---- a high-pitched vice similar t hw we talk t babies ---- they react t wh is ding the talking
“We fund that when cats heard their wners using a high-pitched vice, they reacted mre than when they heard their wner speaking nrmally t anther human adult,” said Charltte de Muzn, an authr f the study and cat behavir expert at the Université Paris Nanterre. “But what was very surprising in ur results was that it actually didn’t wrk when it came frm a stranger’s vice.”
Unlike with dgs, cat behavir is difficult t study, which is part f why humans understand them less. Cats are ften s stressed by being in a lab that meaningful behaviral bservatins becme impssible. And frget abut trying t get a cat t sit still fr an scan t study its brain functin.
S the researchers fr the latest study went t the cats’ hmes and played recrdings f different types f speech and different speakers. At first, Dr. de Muzn and her team were wrried that the cats weren’t reacting at all. But then they studied film recrdings f the encunters. “Their reactins were very subtle,” Dr. de Muzn said. “It culd be just mving an ear r turning the head twards the speaker r even freezing what they were ding.”
In a few cases, the cats in the study wuld apprach the speaker playing a vice and mew. “In the end, we had really clear gains in the cat’s attentin when the wner was using cat-directed speech,” Dr. de Muzn said.
The findings shwed that “cats are paying clse attentin t their caretakers, dwn t nt nly what they are saying, but hw they are saying it,” said Kristyn Vitale, an assistant prfessr f animal health an behavir at Unity Cllege in Maine wh was nt invlved in the new study.
The new study cmplements Dr. Vitale’s wn research int relatinships between a cat and its wner. This relatinship is s imprtant, Dr. Vitale’s research has fund, that it replicates (复制) the cnnectin between a kitten and its mther. “It is pssible that attachment behavirs riginally intended fr interactins with their mther have nw been mdified fr interactins with their new caretakers, humans.”
“Fr years, scientists didn’t ask the right questins abut cats,” Dr. de Muzn said. Nw thse wh are cnvinced f the X f cats wn’t like the answers that are emerging. Cats dn’t hate us after all, Dr. Vitale said, adding that “a grwing bdy f wrk supprts the idea that scial interactin with humans is key in the life f a cat.”
43. What kind f vice will attract cats’ attentin mst accrding t the article?
A. Their wners’ rdinary vice.B. A high-pitched vice frm a baby.
C. A high-pitched vice frm a stranger.D. The cat-directed speech frm their wners.
44. What des the underlined “X” in last paragraph prbably stand fr?
A. dislyaltyB. cutenessC. naughtinessD. enthusiasm
45. Which f the fllwing can be inferred frm the article?
A. Cats pay as much attentin t their wners as dgs d.
B. A cat’s attachment t its wner prbably resembles that t its mther.
C. Peple understand dgs mre than cats because the frmer are mre lyal.
D. Many believe and appreciate the fact that cats are smewhat indifferent t humans.
46. What is the passage mainly abut?

Glbal Rise f TCM
Phan Thi Kim Chi’s cnnectin with Traditinal Chinese Medicine (TCM) began at an early age. Grwing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was incnvenient fr Phan t travel t hspitals in neighbring cities. Whenever she caught a cld r experienced a headache as a child, her family wuld seek the help f a lcal TCM practitiner. ____47____ Accrding t Phan, even thugh TCM has lng been cmmnly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a gd schl t learn TCM in Vietnam is nt easy.
As a freign student, Phan finds the TCM basic thery curse t be the mst challenging ne in the curriculum. ____48____ It requires years f learning and practice t truly understand the cncepts f yin and yang, harmny between human and nature, and the five elements f wd, fire, earth, metal, and water.

F. Many ther Chinese medicine institutins have adpted similar strategic initiatives.
IV. Summary Writing
51. Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Perhaps yu’ve heard the ld saying “curisity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s ften used t warn peple, especially children, nt t ask t many questins. Yet it’s widely agreed that curisity actually makes learning mre effective. In fact, research has shwn that curisity is just as imprtant as intelligence in determining hw well students d in schl.
Curisity can als lead us t make unexpected discveriesand pen up new pssibilities. In science, basic curisity-driven research can have unexpected imprtant benefits. Fr example, ne day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing arund with a cil (线圈) and a magnet (磁铁) when he suddenly saw hw he culd prduce an electrical current. The discvery changed the wrld.
Hwever, curisity is currently under the biggest threat, cming frm technlgy. On ne level, this is because technlgy has becme s advanced that many f us are unable t think t deeply abut hw exactly things wrk anymre.
In additin t this, there’s the fact that we all nw cnnect s deeply with technlgy, particularly with ur phnes. The mre we stare at ur screens, the less we talk t ther peple directly. All t ften we accept the images f peple that scial media prvides up with. Then we feel we knw enugh abut a persn nt t need t engage further with them.
The final—and perhaps mst wrrying—way in which technlgy stps us frm asking mre has t d with algrithms, the prcesses fllwed by cmputers. As we increasingly get ur news via scial media, algrithms find ut what we like and push mre f the same back t us. That means we end up inside ur wn little bubbles, n lnger cming acrss new ideas. Perhaps the real key t develping curisity in the 21st century, then, is t rely less n the tech tls f ur age.

Yur Brain Separates Speech and Music
Peple generally dn’t cnfuse the sunds f singing and talking. That may seem bvius, but it’s actually quite ____21____ — particularly because we can usually differentiate between the tw even when we encunter a language r musical type we’ve never heard befre. Hw exactly des the human brain s ____22____ and instantaneusly make such judgments?
Scientists have a relatively ____23____ understanding f hw the sunds f speech are transfrmed int sentences and hw musical sunds mve us emtinally. At the very beginning, when sund waves ____24____ ur ear, they activate the auditry nerve within a part f the inner ear called the cchlea. That, in turn, ____25____ signals t the brain. Next, these signals travel the s-called auditry pathway, first t the sub-regin fr prcessing all kinds f sunds, and then t ____26____ music r language sub-regins. Depending n which sub-regin the signal ends up, a persn ____27____ the sund as a particular type f meaningful infrmatin — and can differ a piece f music frm a spken sentence.
That’s the brad-strkes stry f sund prcessing. But it remains surprisingly unclear hw exactly ur perceptual system differentiates these sunds within the auditry pathway. Certainly there are bvius ____28____: music and speech wavefrms have distinct pitches (tnes sunding high r lw), timbres (qualities f sund), phnemes (speech-sund units) and meldies. But the brain’s auditry pathway des nt prcess all thse elements ____29____ . Cnsider the example f sending a letter in the mail frm: The letter’s cntents prvide a(n) _____30_____ explanatin f its purpse, but the envelpe must still indicate its destinatin. Similarly, _____31_____ speech and music are packed with infrmatin, ur brain needs sme mre direct cues t rapidly determine which regins t engage.

Therefre, it’s pssible that fr music t serve its evlutinary functin, it needs t be at a speed that allws fr cmfrtable human mvement, thus making it mre _____34_____ fr human brains than its cunterpart.
As t hw the brain differentiates music frm speech in the auditry pathway, we suspect there is mre t uncver. And we believe there is mre than ne factr that can help explain ur brain’s amazing _____35_____ fr discriminatin.

【25题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：反过来，这会将信号传输到大脑。A. mdifies修改；B. remves移除；C. barriers阻碍；D. transmits传输。前文“they activate the auditry nerve”提到声波激活听觉神经，结合常识和后文“signals t the brain”可知，听觉神经的作用是将信号传输到大脑。故选D项。

【29题详解】
考查介词短语辨析。句意：但是大脑的听觉通路并不会立刻处理所有这些元素。A. at ease自在；B. at nce立刻；C. at length详细地；D. at peace和平地。根据后文“ur brain needs sme mre direct cues t rapidly determine which regins t engage.”可知，大脑需要更多直接的线索，所以不是立刻处理所有元素。故选B项。
【30题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：信件的内容提供了其目的的全面解释，但信封仍必须标明其目的地。A. cnvenient方便的；B. cmplicated复杂的；C. cmprehensive全面的；D. credible可信的。结合常识和后文“explanatin f its purpse”可知，信件的内容通常全面阐述信件的目的。故选C项。

【32题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：因此，神经科学家面临的问题是，是什么触发大脑决定是将传入的声音发送到语言区域还是音乐区域进行详细处理，而关于音乐本身进化起源的一个假设值得重视。A. prgressing进步；B. revlutinizing革命化；C. researching研究；D. prcessing处理。前文一直在讲大脑对声音的处理过程，结合后文“t the language r music regins”可知，声音被发送到这些区域进行处理。故选D项。

Many f the festivals f the great religins f the wrld are celebrated with a special meal.

This care and sympathy we shw t thers is ne f the themes f the Christmas stry, especially when Mary and Jseph were ffered shelter in their hur f need by strangers, as they waited fr Jesus t be brn.
Over this past year my heart has been warmed by cuntless examples f the imaginative ways in which peple are caring fr ne anther — ging the extra mile t help thse arund them simply because they knw it is the right thing t d: at wrk and at hme; within and acrss cmmunities.
My wife and I were delighted when hundreds f representatives f that selfless army f peple — vlunteers wh serve their cmmunities in s many ways and with such distinctin — were able t help us. They are an essential backbne f ur sciety. Their presence meant s much t us bth and emphasized ur cre value itself: abve all, a call t us all t serve ne anther; t lve and care fr all.
Service als lies at the heart f the Christmas stry — the birth f Jesus wh came t serve the whle wrld, shwing us by his wn example hw t lve ur neighbr as urselves. Thrughut the year, my family have witnessed hw peple f all ages are making a difference t their cmmunities. This is all the mre imprtant at a time f real hardship fr many, when we need t build n existing ways t supprt thers less frtunate than urselves.
During my lifetime I have been s pleased t see a grwing awareness f hw we must prtect the Earth and ur natural wrld as the ne hme which we all share. I find great inspiratin nw frm the way s many peple recgnize this. And at a time f increasingly tragic cnflict arund the wrld, I pray that we can als d all in ur pwer t prtect each ther. The wrds f Jesus seem mre than ever relevant: “d t thers as yu wuld have them d t yu.” Such values are universal, drawing us and a wider wrld tgether. They remind us t imagine urselves in the shes f ur neighbrs, and t seek their gd as we wuld ur wn.
S n this Christmas Day my heart and my thanks g t all wh are serving ne anther; all wh are caring fr ur cmmn hme; and all wh see and seek the gd f thers, nt least the friend we d nt yet knw. In this way, we bring ut the best in urselves. I wish yu a Christmas f ‘peace n Earth and gdwill t all’, tday and always.

A study by French researchers that was published last mnth in the Jurnal Animal Cgnitin fund that nt nly d cats react t what scientists call cat-directed speech ---- a high-pitched vice similar t hw we talk t babies ---- they react t wh is ding the talking
“We fund that when cats heard their wners using a high-pitched vice, they reacted mre than when they heard their wner speaking nrmally t anther human adult,” said Charltte de Muzn, an authr f the study and cat behavir expert at the Université Paris Nanterre. “But what was very surprising in ur results was that it actually didn’t wrk when it came frm a stranger’s vice.”
Unlike with dgs, cat behavir is difficult t study, which is part f why humans understand them less. Cats are ften s stressed by being in a lab that meaningful behaviral bservatins becme impssible. And frget abut trying t get a cat t sit still fr an scan t study its brain functin.
S the researchers fr the latest study went t the cats’ hmes and played recrdings f different types f speech and different speakers. At first, Dr. de Muzn and her team were wrried that the cats weren’t reacting at all. But then they studied film recrdings f the encunters. “Their reactins were very subtle,” Dr. de Muzn said. “It culd be just mving an ear r turning the head twards the speaker r even freezing what they were ding.”
In a few cases, the cats in the study wuld apprach the speaker playing a vice and mew. “In the end, we had really clear gains in the cat’s attentin when the wner was using cat-directed speech,” Dr. de Muzn said.
The findings shwed that “cats are paying clse attentin t their caretakers, dwn t nt nly what they are saying, but hw they are saying it,” said Kristyn Vitale, an assistant prfessr f animal health an behavir at Unity Cllege in Maine wh was nt invlved in the new study.
The new study cmplements Dr. Vitale’s wn research int relatinships between a cat and its wner. This relatinship is s imprtant, Dr. Vitale’s research has fund, that it replicates (复制) the cnnectin between a kitten and its mther. “It is pssible that attachment behavirs riginally intended fr interactins with their mther have nw been mdified fr interactins with their new caretakers, humans.”
“Fr years, scientists didn’t ask the right questins abut cats,” Dr. de Muzn said. Nw thse wh are cnvinced f the X f cats wn’t like the answers that are emerging. Cats dn’t hate us after all, Dr. Vitale said, adding that “a grwing bdy f wrk supprts the idea that scial interactin with humans is key in the life f a cat.”
43 What kind f vice will attract cats’ attentin mst accrding t the article?
A. Their wners’ rdinary vice.B. A high-pitched vice frm a baby.
C. A high-pitched vice frm a stranger.D. The cat-directed speech frm their wners.
44. What des the underlined “X” in last paragraph prbably stand fr?

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如果被对待得当，猫实际上会密切关注它们的主人。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We fund that when cats heard their wners using a high-pitched vice, they reacted mre than when they heard their wner speaking nrmally t anther human adult,” said Charltte de Muzn, an authr f the study and cat behavir expert at the Université Paris Nanterre.”（我们发现，当猫听到主人用高音调说话时，它们的反应比听到主人正常对另一个成年人说话时更强烈。）可知，猫主人用高音调对猫说话时，最吸猫的注意力。故选D。
【44题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Fr years, scientists didn’t ask the right questins abut cats,”Dr. de Muzn said. Nw thse wh are cnvinced f the X f cats wn’t like the answers that are emerging. Cats dn’t hate us after all, Dr. Vitale said, adding that “a grwing bdy f wrk supprts the idea that scial interactin with humans is key in the life f a cat.”（多年来，科学家们没有对猫提出正确的问题，德穆宗博士说。现在，那些坚信猫的X的人不会喜欢正在出现的答案。猫毕竟不讨厌我们，Vitale博士说，他补充说，“越来越多的工作支持这样一个观点，即与人类的社交互动是猫生活的关键。”）可推知，X可能指的是猫的不忠诚，故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“It is pssible that attachment behavirs riginally intended fr interactins with their mther have nw been mdified fr interactins with their new caretakers, humans.”（可能，最初用于与母亲互动的依恋行为现在已经被修改为与新的照顾者，人类的互动。）可推知，猫对主人的依恋可能类似于对母亲的依恋，故选B。

Grwing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was incnvenient fr Phan t travel t hspitals in neighbring cities. Whenever she caught a cld r experienced a headache as a child, her family wuld seek the help f a lcal TCM practitiner. (Phan Thi Kim Chi与中医的联系始于早年。Phan在越南的一个小村庄长大，去邻近城市的医院很不方便。每当她小时候感冒或头痛时，她的家人都会向当地的中医寻求帮助。)”可知，本句主要说明了小时候看中医的经历对Phan Thi Kim Chi的影响。故E选项“这使她在中国的一所传统医学院主修中医”符合语境，故选E。
【48题详解】
根据上文“As a freign student, Phan finds the TCM basic thery curse t be the mst challenging ne in the curriculum. (作为一名外国留学生，Phan认为中医基础理论课是课程中最具挑战性一门课。)”以及后文“It requires years f learning and practice t truly understand the cncepts f yin and yang, harmny between human and nature, and the five elements f wd, fire, earth, metal, and water. Smetimes she even translates the TCM vcabulary and scripts int Vietnamese s she can remember and cmprehend them better. (它需要多年的学习和实践才能真正理解阴阳、人与自然的和谐以及木、火、土、金、水五行的概念。有时她甚至把中医词汇和脚本翻译成越南语，以便更好地记住和理解它们。)”可知，本句主要说明中医基础理论课具有挑战性的原因，结合后文提到了中国的五行文化，可知中医与中国的文化有关。故C选项“中医博大精深，与中国哲学有着千丝万缕的联系。”符合语境，故选C。

IV. Summary Writing
51. Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Perhaps yu’ve heard the ld saying “curisity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s ften used t warn peple, especially children, nt t ask t many questins. Yet it’s widely agreed that curisity actually makes learning mre effective. In fact, research has shwn that curisity is just as imprtant as intelligence in determining hw well students d in schl.
Curisity can als lead us t make unexpected discveriesand pen up new pssibilities. In science, basic curisity-driven research can have unexpected imprtant benefits. Fr example, ne day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing arund with a cil (线圈) and a magnet (磁铁) when he suddenly saw hw he culd prduce an electrical current. The discvery changed the wrld.
Hwever curisity is currently under the biggest threat, cming frm technlgy. On ne level, this is because technlgy has becme s advanced that many f us are unable t think t deeply abut hw exactly things wrk anymre.
In additin t this, there’s the fact that we all nw cnnect s deeply with technlgy, particularly with ur phnes. The mre we stare at ur screens, the less we talk t ther peple directly. All t ften we accept the images f peple that scial media prvides up with. Then we feel we knw enugh abut a persn nt t need t engage further with them.
The final—and perhaps mst wrrying—way in which technlgy stps us frm asking mre has t d with algrithms, the prcesses fllwed by cmputers. As we increasingly get ur news via scial media, algrithms find ut what we like and push mre f the same back t us. That means we end up inside ur wn little bubbles, n lnger cming acrss new ideas. Perhaps the real key t develping curisity in the 21st century, then, is t rely less n the tech tls f ur age.

【答案】Curisity determines ne’s academic perfrmance and can lead t new discveries. Hwever, technlgy seriusly endangers curisity . It prevents peple frm thinking deeply and engaging with each ther . Wrst f all, it keeps feeding us what it thinks we like instead f expsing us t new ideas. Therefre, t develp curisity, we need t rely less n technlgy. (57 wrds)

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了好奇心在人们学习新知识和发现新事物方面的促进作用，并指出现代技术的日益发达对人们好奇心的消极影响。

2.缜密构思： 将第1、2两个要点进行重组，将第3、4两个要点进行整合，将第5个要点作为总结。
3.遣词造句
①Curisity determines ne’s academic perfrmance and can lead t new discveries.
②Technlgy prevents peple frm thinking deeply and engaging with each ther .
③Technlgy keeps feeding us what it thinks we like instead f expsing us t new ideas.
④We need t rely less n technlgy.
【点睛】[高分句型1] It prevents peple frm thinking deeply and engaging with each ther . 运用一个简单句对原文第三段和第四段进行了概括。其中prevent sb. frm ding sth.这个固定短语的运用显得很高级。thinking和engaging两个动名词作frm的宾语。
[高分句型2] Wrst f all, it keeps feeding us what it thinks we like instead f expsing us t new ideas. 用一个复杂的主从复合句概括了第五段内容。其中what引导宾语从句、固定短语instead f和expse sb. t sth.的使用非常巧妙。

52. 直到那位母亲确信她的儿子已安然无恙地到家，她才松了一口气。(Nt until…) (汉译英)
【答案】Nt until the mther made sure that her sn had gt hme safe and sund did she feel relieved.
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句、状语从句和倒装。表示“直到……才……”应使用nt until；表示“确信”应译为make sure；表示“安然无恙”应译为safe and sund；根据句意可知，主句应该使用一般过去时态，所以“母亲确信”应译为the mther made sure；“她的儿子已安然无恙地到家”为宾语从句作made sure的宾语，发生在made sure之前，所以使用过去完成时态，故翻译为her sn had gt hme safe and sund；根据主从句时态一致的原则，表示“她松了一口气”应用于一般过去时态，所以译为she felt relieved；Nt until整体位于句首时，主句应该使用部分倒装，将助动词、系动词或情态动词提到主语前面，因主句使用的是一般过去时态，所以助动词为did，将其提前，谓语动词felt改为动词原形。故翻译为Nt until the mther made sure that her sn had gt hme safe and sund did she feel relieved.
53. 根据她目前的学习水平量身定制的学习计划大大提高了她的数学技能和信心。（tailr）
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】The study plan tailred t her current learning level has greatly imprved her math skills and cnfidence.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和时态。“根据她目前的学习水平量身定制的学习计划”为本句主语，主题部分是“学习计划”，译为“the study plan”，“根据她目前的学习水平量身定制的”可用tailr的过去分词作后置定语，tailred t意为“定制的”，“她目前的学习水平”译为“her current learning level”，“大大提高了”作谓语，用动词imprve，强调过去动作对现在的影响（提升效果持续），使用现在完成时，“她的数学技能和信心”作宾语，译为“her math skills and cnfidence”。故译为：The study plan tailred t her current learning level has greatly imprved her math skills and cnfidence.
54. 这条小河蜿蜒流淌，与世代居住于此的村民朝夕相伴，见证了这个村庄的日新月异。(cmpany)(汉译英)
【答案】The winding stream that keeps the villagers cmpany, wh have lived there fr generatins, is a witness f/has witnessed the cnstant changes f this village.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句，时态，名词和短语。主语是这条小河蜿蜒流淌，也就是这条蜿蜒流淌的小河，译为“The winding stream”，与村民朝夕相伴，用定语从句修饰名词小河，译为“that keeps the villagers cmpany”，世代居住于此再用非限制性定语从句修饰先行词村民，进行补充说明，译为“wh have lived there fr generatins”，主句谓语见证了，可以用一般现在时或者现在完成时，译为“is a witness f/has witnessed”，宾语村庄的日新月异，译为“the cnstant changes f this village”，故翻译为The winding stream that keeps the villagers cmpany, wh have lived there fr generatins, is a witness f/has witnessed the cnstant changes f this village.。
55. 在互联网上交流时，务必明辨是非，谨言慎行，切莫盲目跟从，从而造成不可估量的后果。（distinguish）
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】When cmmunicating n the Internet, be sure t distinguish right frm wrng, think carefully befre speaking, and avid blindly fllwing thers, s as nt t cause immeasurable cnsequences.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句的省略，固定搭配和祈使句。根据所给中文句子，“在互联网上交流时”可用when引导的时间状语从句，从句主语和主句相同，时态用现在进行时，所以可以省略主语+be动词，译为“when cmmunicating n the Internet”，“务必明辨是非，谨言慎行，切莫盲目跟从”可用and连接的排比句，根据句意，没有主语，用祈使句句型，“务必”用动词短语：be sure t d sth.，“明辨是非”译为distinguish right frm wrng，“谨言慎行”译为think carefully befre speaking，“莫盲目跟从”译为avid blindly fllwing thers，三个并列的动词短语放在动词不定式符号t后，用and连接，放在最后一个动词短语前；“从而造成不可估量的后果”可用固定搭配：s as nt t cause...“以免导致…”引导结果状语，译为“s as nt t cause immeasurable cnsequences”。故译为：When cmmunicating n the Internet, be sure t distinguish right frm wrng, think carefully befre speaking, and avid blindly fllwing thers, s as nt t cause immeasurable cnsequences.
