1. With the tough problems ________, the newly-promoted manager felt greatly relieved.
A. to settle B. settling C. settled D. being settled
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:解决了这些棘手的问题后,新晋升的经理感到如释重负。分析句子结构可知,此处应为非谓语动词作宾补,根据“the newly-promoted manager felt greatly relieved”可知,这些棘手的问题已经解决,且settle与宾语the tough problems之间为被动关系,所以此处应使用过去分词形式。故选C项。
2. If ______ in class, you will have to clean the classroom for a week as a punishment.
A. to catch to sleep B. caught to sleep
C. catching sleeping D. caught sleeping
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查if的省略句。句意:如果你被抓住在课堂睡觉,你就打扫教室一个星期作为惩罚。当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时,可以省略状语从句的主语和系动词be,if后面省略了you are,完整的句子是:if you are caught sleeping in class.且固定短语catch sb doing“抓住某人做……”,后跟-ing形式,综上,故选D。
3. —The road ____ outside the school bothers the students a lot.
— Actually, we don’t know when it will be completed.
A. being built B. to be built C. to built D. built
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:——学校外面正在修建的路让学生们很烦。——事实上,我们不知道它什么时候完工。分析句子结构可知,此处是非谓语动词作后置定语,build和road之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词,又结合语境可知“路正在被修”,故用过去分词的进行时形式,即being done,故选A项。
4. —Can you bring forward a better solution?
—This is the best way I can imagine ________ the project ahead of schedule.
A. completing B. to completing C. to complete D. completed
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:——你能提出一个更好的解决方案吗?——这是我能想到的提前完成项目的最佳方式。 I can imagine是省略了关系代词的定语从句,名词way后面需用动词不定式作后置定语。故选C项。
5. ________ the meeting himself gave them a great deal of encouragement.
A. The president will attend B. The president to attend
C. The president having attended D. The president’s attending
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:总统亲自出席会议给了他们很大的鼓励。gave为谓语动词,空格处作主语,应用动名词形式,the president和attend之间为所属关系,意为“总统的亲自出席”,应用名词的所有格形式the president’s attending。故选D项。
6. By not having a child, the carbon footprint of an individual ________ in a developed country would be reduced on average by an extra 58.6 tons of carbon dioxide every year, ________ current emission rates.
A. lived; basing on B. living; basing on
C. lived; based on D. living; based on
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:按照现在的排放速率,每少生一个孩子,发达国家每年的个人碳排放量将平均额外减少58.6吨。第一个空是作定语,修饰an individual,“一个人”主动“生活”,故用v-ing形式;第二个空表示“以……为根据”,是base A on或be based on,本空是作an extra 58.6 tons of carbon dioxide 的后置定语,base与前面提到的数据是被动关系,故用过去分词。综合以上,故选D。
7. When entering the office, ____.
A. Roger was found sitting at a desk B. we found Roger seated at a desk
C. Roger was found sat at a desk D. it was we who found Roger seat at a desk
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查句子结构。句意:当我们进入办公室时,发现罗杰坐在一张桌子旁。分析句子和句意可知,本句为状语从句的省略,主从句的主语都为we,还原后为:When we were entering the office,we found Roger seated at a desk。故选B项。

A. Being surrounded; to give B. Having surrounded; give
C. Surrounded; to give D. Surrounding; give
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在警察的包围下,绑架者别无选择,只好放弃。句中谓语是had,空格处用非谓语动词,由by可知,第一空用过去分词surrounded表被动;have no choice but to do是固定短语,意为“别无选择,只能做某事”,因此第二空用不定式to give,故选C。
9. Tom admitted ________ in the examination, so he ________ to college in the end.

C. Doing; to relax D. Having done; relaxing
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在这次重要的考试中取得了不错的成绩,他轻松地微笑着回到了家。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词came back,前后两个空在句中均作非谓语;第一空中,逻辑主语he与动词do之间为主动关系,且do的动作先于came back,应用having done结构,表示主动和完成;第二空与后面的形容词smiling并列,作伴随状语,修饰人,表示“感到放松的”,应用relaxed。故选B项。

Throughout all the events in my life, one in particular sticks out more than the others. As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful.
It was my twelfth year of dancing, I thought it would end up like any other year: stuck in emptiness, forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.
However, I met Shanda, a young, talented choreographer (编舞者). She influenced me to work to the best of my ability, pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up, encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing. Throughout our hard work, not only did my ability to dance grow, but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.
With the end of the year came our showtime. As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name. Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage. But, with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda’s expectations for me, I began to dance. All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.
As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining, gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought. Thanks to Shanda, dance became more than a love of mine, but a passion.
14. What did the author think her dancing would be for the twelfth year?
A. A change for the better. B. A disappointment as before.
C. A proof of her potential. D. A challenge to her dancing skills.
15. How did Shanda help the author?
A. By offering her financial help. B. By entering her in a competition.
C. By coaching her for longer hours. D. By awakening her passion for dancing.
16. How did the author feel when she stepped on the stage?
A. Hopeless. B. Embarrassed. C. Scared. D. Nervous.
17. What can we learn from the author’s story?
A. Success lies in patience. B. Fame is a great thirst of the young.
C. A good teacher matters. D. A you this to be treated with respect.
【答案】14. B 15. D 16. D 17. C

(C)
Beavers, like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as Nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build lodges to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from predators. Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment (沉积物) that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.
Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. In late 2019, many people enjoying Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Sparrow Pond -a sediment-filled, man-made storm-water management area- into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.
Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over in winter. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the steep soil bank supporting the paved hike and bike path.
To find a good balance between protecting the W&OD path and the beavers, in April, the county installed a “beaver baffle” — a pond leveler. Beavers often rush to plug leaks in their dams. Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.
Recently, Andrew Jones, 18, organized a tree-caging event -- putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.
“We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat, while providing others they like,” said Luisa Robles, Greenbelt’s sustainability specialist. Some new trees are periodically planted just for the beavers. “We need to learn to yield a little of our wants to share the Earth’s resources.” she said.
Sparrow Pond’s 2023 restoration project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. “A beaver baffle will also be included so beaver families can make the pond their home in the future,” noted the project’s flier.
The balancing act continues
18. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Where beaver’s favorite surroundings are.
B. How beavers help attract wildlife diversity.
C. Why beavers are called nature’s engineers.
D. What effects beavers have on their habitat.
19. Why did the beaver family’s activity cause concern?
A. Swallow Pond would flood often. B. Sediment would flow downstream.
C. The popular path might be damaged. D. Beavers might have to live underwater.
20. What do we know about the “beaver baffle” in paragraph 4?
A. A block to keep beavers away. B. A device to fix holds in the dams.
C. A tool to maintain water level. D. A material to protect the soil bank.
21. The underlined word “yield” in paragraph 6 probably means ________.
A. Create B. show C. appreciate D. sacrifice
【答案】18. D 19. C 20. B 21. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海狸的活动对其栖息地产生的正向和负向的两种影响,Swallow Pond’s 2023 项目旨在达到人与海狸和谐共存。
【18题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Beavers, like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as Nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build lodges to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from predators. Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment (沉积物) that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. (海狸和人类一样,会改变周围的环境来满足它们的需求。它们被称为自然工程师,它们推倒树木建造房屋,建造水坝以提高水位以抵御敌人。大坝还减缓了水流,同时阻挡了原本会流向下游的沉积物。由此产生的湿地往往吸引了原本不存在的野生动物多样性)”可知,第一段主要讲海狸对它们的栖息地有什么影响。故选B项。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path(但是县官员担心更高的水位会如何影响支撑温斯顿小路的土壤库)”可知,海狸家族的活动之所以会引起关注是因为受欢迎的小路可能会被破坏。故选C项。
20题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段最后一句“Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.(挡板通过创建一个隐藏的出口来稳定水位,让高水位从大坝中流出,而不被海狸发现)”可推知,划线的单词beaver baffle应该指的是一个维持水位的装置。故选B项。
【21题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段““We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat, while providing others they like,” said Luisa Robles, Greenbelt’s sustainability specialist. Some new trees are periodically planted just for the beavers.(绿色地带的可持续发展专家Luisa Robles说:“我们把不想让它们吃的树盖起来,同时提供它们喜欢的树。”一些新树是定期为海狸种植的。”)”可知,Luisa的意思是我们需要学会牺牲一点分享地球资源的愿望。故划线词意思是“牺牲”。故选D。
(D)
Although social media can be enjoyable and beneficial, online relationships simply cannot replace real life connection. But simply being in the flesh with someone does not make a lasting, meaningful relationship, which got me thinking: what, exactly, does? My search to answer this question took me back more than 2,000 years to Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics. What I found couldn’t be more insightful, and it rings just as true today as it must have then.
Aristotle writes that there are three different kinds of friendship:
FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON UTILITY, in which one or both of the parties gain something as a result of the friendship (think: much of the modern “networking” enterprise, or becoming friends with someone because you think they can help you).
FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON PLEASURE, or those centered around pleasant experiences (think: people with whom you can have a good, carefree time).
FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON VIRTUE, in which both individuals share the same values (think: people whom you admire and respect, and with whom you share what you find most important in life).
It’s fascinating that, centuries ago, Aristotle offered that many individual often pursue friendships primarily for utility. And it’s easy to see that some things never change.
Likewise, he wrote, “Those who love because of what is good for themselves, and those who love because of pleasure do so because of what is pleasant to themselves. Yet what one finds useful or pleasurable, is not permanent but is always changing; thus, when the reason for the friendship is done away, the friendship is dissolved.”
It’s OK to have some friendships mainly for utility and pleasure, but it’s important to realize that these fill a different purpose and are likely to have a shorter lifespan than one built upon shared virtue. And it is the friendships based on virtue that are worth protecting and cherishing. But they require considerable energy to maintain -- as Aristotle wrote, “lack of conversation has broken many a friendship” -- but what you get out of these friendships easily outweighs what you put in.
22. What is the author’s attitude towards Aristotle’s grouping of friendship?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
23. How does the author illustrate Aristotle’s three kinds of friendship?
A. By giving examples. B. By offering instructions.
C. By making comparisons. D. By drawing conclusions.
24. Why can’t friendship based on utility and pleasure last long?
A. Because there are always other friends around.
B. Because people only consider their own benefits.
C. Because people’s pursuit is not always the same.
D. Because different people make friends for different reasons.
25. According to Aristotle, how can one keep a longer friendship?
A. Spend face-to-face time with your friends.
B. Keep talking to the ones with shared values.
C. Value the advantages you get out of a friend.
D. Create a pleasant atmosphere for a conversation.
【答案】22. A 23. A 24. C 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者主要分析了基于不同利益的友谊,认为只有建立在美德的友谊才值得保护和珍惜。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“What I found couldn’t be more insightful, and it rings just as true today as it must have then.(我的发现非常有见地,在今天听起来和当时一样正确。)”可知,作者认为亚里士多德对友谊的见地今天听起来和当时一样的正确,结合倒数第三段中的“It’s fascinating that, centuries ago, Aristotle offered that many individual often pursue friendships primarily for utility. And it’s easy to see that some things never change.(有趣的是,几个世纪前,亚里士多德提出许多人追求友谊主要是为了功利。很容易看出,有些事情永远不会改变。)”可知,亚里士多德提出的友谊的目的主要是为了功利,作者认为这是永远不会改变的,由此可以推断,作者多亚里士多德对友谊的看法是支持的态度。故选A项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Aristotle writes that there are three different kinds of friendship(亚里士多德写道,有三种不同的友谊)”以及下文中的“FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON UTILITY(基于效用的友谊)”、“FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON PLEASURE(基于快乐的友谊)”以及“FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON VIRTUE(基于美德的友谊)”可知,作者列举了亚里士多德的三种不同的友谊并进行简单的分析,由此可推断,作者是通过举例子来阐述亚里士多德的三种友谊。故选A项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Likewise, he wrote, “Those who love because of what is good for themselves, and those who love because of pleasure do so because of what is pleasant to themselves. Yet what one finds useful or pleasurable, is not permanent but is always changing; thus, when the reason for the friendship is done away, the friendship is dissolved.”(同样地,他写道:“爱的人是为了自己的好处,爱的人是为了自己的快乐。然而,人们觉得有用或愉快的东西,不是永久的,而是一直在变化的;因此,当友谊的原因消失了,友谊也就消失了。”。)”可知,基于利益和快乐的友谊不是永恒的而是多变的,所以,利益和快乐消失的时候,友谊也就消失了。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“And it is the friendships based on virtue that are worth protecting and cherishing. But they require considerable energy to maintain -- as Aristotle wrote, “lack of conversation has broken many a friendship” -- but what you get out of these friendships easily outweighs what you put in.(而建立在美德基础上的友谊才是值得保护和珍惜的。但它们需要相当大的精力来维持——正如亚里士多德所写的那样,“缺乏交谈已经毁掉了许多友谊”——但你从这些友谊中获得的东西很容易就超过了你投入的东西。)”可知,认为只有基于美德的友谊值得珍惜和拥有,缺乏交流破坏了友谊,所以,要想保持长久的友谊,需要的是与有共同价值观的人进行交流。故选B项。
第二节(每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Collecting must be one of tho most varied of human activities, and it’s one that many of us psychologists (心理学家) find fascinating.Collecting hundreds or even thousands of postcards, chocolate wrappers or whatever, takes time, energy and money that could surely be put to much more productive use. And yet there are millions of collectors around the world. Why do they do it?
There are the people who collect because they want to make money. They’ll look for, say, antiques that they can buy cheaply and expect to be able to sell at a profit.
____26____ Buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of victory. And as selling online is so easy, more and more people are joining in.
Many collectors collect to develop their social life. ____27____ This is a variant on joining a bridge club or a gym, and similarly brings them into contact with like-minded people.
Some may spend their whole lives in a hunt for this. ____28____ There is a danger, though, that if the individual is ever lucky enough to find what they’re looking for, rather than celebrating their success, they may feel empty, now that the goal that drove them on has gone.
____29____ Stamp collecting, for example, opens a window to other countries, and to the plants, animals, or famous people shown on their stamps. Similarly, many collectors collect fossils, animals and plants from around the globe, and their collections provided a vast amount of information about the natural world. ____30____
A. But there may well be a psychological element, too.
B. Another potential reason for it is its educational value.
C. A particular example is a rare early recording by a particular singer.
D. A psychological reason for collecting is the need for a sense of control.
E. Without those collections, our understanding would be greatly reduced.
F. Psychologically this can give a purpose to a life that otherwise feels aimless.
G. They attend meetings of groups of collectors and exchange information on items.
【答案】26. A 27. G 28. F 29. B 30. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了喜欢收藏背后的原因以及意义。
【26题详解】
根据后文“Buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of victory. And as selling online is so easy, more and more people are joining in.(买便宜卖贵可以给收藏家一种胜利的感觉。由于网上销售很容易,越来越多的人加入进来)”可知,本段主要说明了收藏背后的心理原因是买便宜卖贵。故A选项“但很可能也有心理因素”符合语境,故选A。
【27题详解】
根据上文“Many collectors collect to develop their social life.(许多收藏家通过收藏来发展他们的社交生活)”可知,本句承接上文具体论述收藏是如何发展社交生活的。故G选项“他们参加收集者小组会议并交换有关物品的资料”符合语境,故选G。
【28题详解】
根据上文“Some may spend their whole lives in a hunt for this.(有些人可能一辈子都在寻找这个)”以及后文“There is a danger, though, that if the individual is ever lucky enough to find what they’re looking for, rather than celebrating their success, they may feel empty, now that the goal that drove them on has gone.(然而,也有一种危险,如果一个人足够幸运地找到了他们想要的东西,而不是庆祝他们的成功,他们可能会感到空虚,因为驱使他们前进的目标已经消失了)”可知,上文提到了一辈子都在寻找,后文则提到找到了想要的东西会失去目标,可知收藏可以给生活带来目标。故F选项“从心理上讲,这可以给生活带来目标,否则生活就会变得漫无目的”符合语境,故选F。
【29题详解】
根据后文“Stamp collecting, for example, opens a window to other countries, and to the plants, animals, or famous people shown on their stamps. Similarly, many collectors collect fossils, animals and plants from around the globe, and their collections provided a vast amount of information about the natural world.(例如,集邮打开了一扇通往其他国家的窗口,也打开了一扇通往其他国家邮票上的植物、动物或名人的窗口。同样,许多收藏家收集来自世界各地的化石、动物和植物,他们的收藏提供了大量关于自然界的信息)”可知,本段的主旨是收藏具有教育价值,可以了解信息。故B选项“另一个潜在的原因是它的教育价值”符合语境,故选B。
【30题详解】
根据上文“Similarly, many collectors collect fossils, animals and plants from around the globe, and their collections provided a vast amount of information about the natural world.(同样,许多收藏家收集来自世界各地的化石、动物和植物,他们的收藏提供了关于自然界的大量信息)”可知,上文提到收藏家通过藏品来了解大自然的信息,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文说明没有藏品会出现的情况。故E选项“如果没有这些收藏品,我们的理解将会大大减少”符合语境,故选E。
四、完形填空(每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

【46题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:作为人类,我们是社会生物,我们喜欢彼此的陪伴,并通过赠送礼物来表达我们的感情。定语从句修饰先行词creatures,在从句中作主语,指人,应用who或that。故填who/that。
【47题详解】

【48题详解】
考查副词。句意:即使在原始的穴居文化中,赠送礼物也是相当普遍的,因为它被用来表达对彼此的爱和感情。修饰形容词common应用副词fairly,作状语。故填fairly。

【50题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:不管是一块形状奇特的岩石、一颗动物的牙齿、一棵树的树皮还是其他一些天然的东西,在先进文明出现之前,赠送礼物肯定早就是一种普遍的行为。此处为句型whether…or…表示“不管是……还是……”。故填or。
【51题详解】
考查时态。句意:不管是一块形状奇特的岩石、一颗动物的牙齿、一棵树的树皮还是其他一些天然的东西,在先进文明出现之前,赠送礼物肯定早就是一种普遍的行为。结合上文was可知为一般过去时。故填came。
【52题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:我们会把礼物送给家人、朋友、同事,甚至邻居,他们会收到各种各样的礼物。分析句子可知,设空处在句中作谓语,应用动词;主语为gifts,与give之间为被动关系,应用被动语态be done结构;结合上下文动词时态可知,此处表示一般陈述,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数形式,故谓语动词也用复数形式。故填are given。
【53题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:为什么送礼物如此有益的心理学原理很简单:它能让人们建立联系。分析句子可知,设空处位于介词of后,在句中引导一个从句,这是一个宾语从句,从句中不缺主干成分,结合句意可知,此处表示“为什么送礼物如此有益”,设空处在从句中作原因状语,应用why引导。故填why。
【54题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为什么送礼物如此有益的心理学原理很简单:它能让人们建立联系。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词,设空处只能填非谓语动词形式;结合前面的allow可知,allow sb to do sth为固定搭配,表示“允许某人做某事”,设空处应用to do不定式,故可用to connect。人与人之间的联系是双向的,也可以是被联系,故也可用to be connected。故填to connect或to be connected。
【55题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:这种感觉能启迪我们的灵魂,激发出我们最好的一面。根据设空处前面的定冠词the和后面的in可知,此处指“我们最好的一面”,应用形容词最高级。故填best。

八、课文背诵(每小题2分,满分10分)
71. 想到还有那么多人需要帮助,林医生开办了一间私人诊所。(汉译英)
【答案】Thinking that there were so many people in need of help, Dr. Lin opened a private clinic.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语、形容词以及非谓语动词。根据句意,该句描述的是过去的事情,所以使用一般过去时态;表示“想到”应为think;表示“有那么多人需要帮助”为宾语从句作think的宾语,从句中不缺少主语和宾语,句意完整,所以使用that引导,应译为that there were so many people in need of help,所以前半句话译为think that there were so many people in need of help;表示“林医生开办了一间私人诊所”应为“主+谓+宾”结构,译为Dr. Lin opened a private clinic;分析句子结构可知,“想到还有那么多人需要帮助”在句中为非谓语动词短语作状语,其中的think与主句的主语Dr. Lin之间为主动关系,所以使用现在分词形式thinking,且位于句首,thinking的首字母需大写。故翻译为Thinking that there were so many people in need of help, Dr. Lin opened a private clinic.。
72. 有时,人们甚至会看到她骑着毛驴去偏远的乡村给人看病。(汉译英)
【答案】Sometimes she can even be seen riding a donkey to a remote village to see a doctor.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、形容词和名词。根据句意,表示“有时”应为sometimes作状语位于句首,首字母需大写;表示“人们甚至会看见她”不强调哪些人,所以使用被动语态,应表示“她甚至被看到”应译为she can even be seen;表示“骑着毛驴”应为ride a donkey应为主语补足语,结合句意,此处表示动作正在进行,所以使用现在分词形式作主语补足语,应为riding a donkey;表示“去偏远的乡村”应为to a remote village;表示“给病人看病”作目的状语,应使用不定式形式,所以译为to see a doctor。故翻译为Sometimes she can even be seen riding a donkey to a remote village to see a doctor.。
73. 唐人街的商店出售各式特色纪念品、货物和衣服。(汉译英)
【答案】The stores in the Chinatown offer a unique range of souvenirs, goods, and clothing.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。表示“唐人街的商店”翻译为The stores in the Chinatown;表示“出售”可用动词offer;表示“各式特色纪念品、货物和衣服”翻译为a unique range of souvenirs, goods, and clothing。陈述事实用一般现在时,结合主谓一致。故翻译为The stores in the Chinatown offer a unique range of souvenirs, goods, and clothing.
74. 然而,很多游客和旧金山人最钟爱的或许是唐人街的美食。(汉译英)
【答案】But perhaps what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown is its food.
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。表示“然而”应用连词but;表示“或许”应用副词perhaps,作状语;表示“很多游客和旧金山人关于唐人街最钟爱的”应用主语从句what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown作整个句子的主语,其中what引导主语从句,在从句中作宾语,表示“很多游客和旧金山人”应用名词短语many tourists and San Franciscans作主语,表示“关于唐人街最钟爱的”应用treasure most about Chinatown作谓语;表示“是”应用系动词be根据句意,应用一般现在时,故用is;表示“唐人街的美食”应用its food,作表语。故翻译为:But perhaps what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown is its food。
75. 未曾踏足中国的游客可以在唐人街近距离感受中国传统文化。(汉译英)
【答案】They allow visitors who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand in Chinatown.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和定语从句。根据句意,主句描述的是现在的情况,所以使用一般现在时,表示“未曾踏足中国的”应为定语从句修饰名词“游客”,主句应为“游客可以在唐人街近距离感受中国传统文化”可转述为“他们允许游客近距离体验中国传统文化在唐人街”,该句中主语为“他们”为they,表示“允许某人做某事”应为allow sb. to do sth.,所以“允许游客体验中国传统文化”应译为allow visitors to experience traditional Chinese culture;定语从句的先行词为visitors,关系词使用who在定语从句中作主语,表示“未曾踏足中国的”,此处使用现在完成时态,先行词为名词复数,故译为who have never been to China置于先行词visitors之后;表示“近距离的”应为first hand,表示“在唐人街”应为in Chinatown作状语置于句尾。故翻译为They allow visitors who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand in Chinatown.
