Part Ⅱ
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Antarctica has actually become a kind of space station—a unique observation post for detecting important changes in the world’s environment.S1 Remote from major sources of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that prevail elsewhere, Antarctica makes possible scientific measurements that are often sharper and easier to interpret than those made in other parts of the world.
Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distantearly warning sensor, where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show up to the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology. Scholars from the United States, Switzerland, and France are pursuing seven separate but related projects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet—a concern they believe the world at large should share.
The Transantarctic Mountain, some of them more than 14,000 feet high, divide the continent into two very different regions. The part of the continent to the “east” of the mountains is a high plateau covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. “West” of the mountain, the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by an ice sheet, but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared, the western part of the continent would be reduced to a sparse cluster of island.
While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments, others focus on the mysterious“dry valley”of Antarctica, valleys that contain little ice or snow even in the depths of winter. Slashed through the mountains of southern Victoria land, these valleys once held enormous glaciers that descend 9,000 feet from the polar plateau to the Ross Sea.Now the glaciers are gone, perhaps a casualty of the global warming trend during the 10,000 years since the ice age. Even the snow that falls in the dry valleys is blasted out by vicious winds that roar down from the polar plateau to the sea. Left bare are spectacular gorges, rippled fields of sand dunes, clusters of boulders(大圓石)sculptured into fantastic shapes by 100mileanhour winds, and an aura of extraterrestrial desolation.
Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys, some scientists believe that they may carry a message of hope for the verdant(草木繁茂的)parts of the earth. Some scientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may soak up pollutants
faster than pollutants enter them.
21.Antarctica is scientifically important in that ____.
A) it is a space station
B) it is an ideal place for the investigation of glaciology
C) there is the mysterious dry valley
D) it can help people detect global environmental changes
22.The reason for the disappearance of glaciers in the dry valley is ____.
A) that they’ve desended to the Ross sea
B) that they’ve been blasted out by vicious winds
C) the global warming trend ever since the ice age
D) that they’ve been changed into gorges,sand dunes and boulders
23.When the author calls Antarctica “distantearlywarning sensor”, he
actually means that ____.
A) such equipment has been set up for scientific purpose
B) the research groups there are like such kind of sensors
C) potential global changes can be seen on Antarctica first
D) Antarctica is remote from other parts of the earth
24.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?
A) There is a cluster of island west of the Transantartic Mountain.
B) Scientific research on Antarctica only centers on the ice and snow there.
C) Dry valleys may be a place to dispose of our pollutants.
D) All the countries on earth should be concerned about the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
25.The word “spotted”(2nd paragraph)can best be replaced by____.
A) placed
B) noticed
C) fixed
D) judged
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be “all things to all people”. In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrowminded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students.
The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields,
the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends.Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a d
egree. In short, driven by careerism, “the nation’s colleges and universit
ies are more successful in providing credentials(文憑)than in providing a quality education for their students.” The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an “integrated core” of common learning. Such a core would introduce students “to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus.”
Although the key to a good college is a highquality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed:“Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most.” Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their fouryear degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure
(終身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that “There is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications.”
26.When a college tries to be “all things to all people”(lines 2, Para. Ⅰ), it aims to ____.
A) satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneously
B) focus on training students in various skills
C) encourage all sorts of people to attend college
D) make learning serve academic rather than productive ends
27.The word “core”(lines 15, 1st paragraph) might mean____.
A) aim
B) unit
C) center
D) course
28.One of the reasons for the current crisis in American colleges and universities is that ____.
A) a narrow vocationalism has come to dominate many colleges
B) students don’t have enough freedom in choosing what they want to learn
C) skills are being taught as a means to an end
D) students are not interested in learning
29.American colleges and universities failed to graduate half of their four
year degree candidates because ____.
A) most of them lack highquality faculites
B) students are becoming more and more lazy
C) there are not enough incentives for students to study hard
D) they attach greater importance to research and publication than to teaching
30.It can be inferred from the passage that highquality college education
calls for ____.
A) highquality faculties
B) a commitment to students and effective teaching
C) the cultivation of students’ interest in learning
D) dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledge
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950’s, resulting in a smaller
collegeage population starting in the middle 1970’s.S4 Something else happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had beg
un to produce small fuelefficient cars in large quantities for the export market. Suddenly, the large, gasguzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the autoindustry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service—unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example—than during more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.
31.What is the main idea of this passage?
A) The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.
B) There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970’s.
C) Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950’s.
D) High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.
32.The phrase “l(fā)aid off” can best be replaced by which of the following?
A) Poor .
B) Got rid of.
C) Removed.
D) Unemployed.
33.American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they were____.
A) small
B) gasconsuming
C) fuelefficient
D) not attractive
34.The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that ____.
A) they couldn’t get enough income to keep them running
B) young people couldn’t afford the tuition fees
C) keeping them running at the same level would cost much more
D) social services need more state funds because of the recession
35.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ____.
A) young people couldn’t afford their own tuition in the 1970’s
B) it’s difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970’s
C) fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because of
the recession in 1970’s
D) Birthrate dropped in the 1970’s because of the recession
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find
out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling
waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal
such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.
Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a
powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that
grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
The first fullscale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some
big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.
36.The main purpose of the passage is ____.
A) to show us a future way of recycling wastes
B) to tell the importance of recycling wastes
C) to warn people the danger of some wastes
D) to introduce a new recycling plant
37.How many stages are there in the recycling process?
A) 3.
B) 4.
C) 5.
D) 6.
38.What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?
A) To deal with wastes in a better way.
B) It’s a good way to gain profits.
C) It’s more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.
D) Energy can be got at a lower price.
39.The first full—scale huge recycling plants ____.
A) have been in existence for 15 years
B) takes 15 years to build
C) can’t be built until 15 years later
D) will remain functioning for 15 years
40.Which of the following statements is true?
A) The word “rubbish” will soon disappear from dictionaries.
B) Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.
C) To recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.
D) Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.

Section B
Passage One
There Yale University professors agreed in a panel disussion tonight that the automobile was what one of them called“Public Health Enemy No. 1 in This Country”.Besides polluting the air and congesting the cities,automobiles could cause heart disease “because we don’t walk anywhere any more,”said Dr. H. P. Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and public health. Dr. Weinerman’s sharp indictment of the automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio program broadcast by Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. The program opened a threepart series on “Staying Alive”.“For the first time in human history, the problem of man’s survival has to do with his control of manmade hazards,” Dr. Weinerman said.“Before this, the problem had been the control of natural hazards.”
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.
11.What is the main idea of the passage?
12.Why could automobiles cause heart disease?
13.For the 1st time,what does the problem of man’s survival have to do with?
Passage Two
A small dog brought disaster to a small English town last week. It was trying to
cross a busy street but was too frightened to leave the strip in the middle of
the street.
A truck drive parked his truck on the side of the road and got out to help it. While he was going to get the dog, his truck rolled down the street. It smashed into four parked cars, crashed through a fence, rolled down a bank and smashed into a row of houses. Only the driver was hurt. The dog bit him on the hand while he was carrying it.
Here is another story about dogs. A nineyearold child who nearly drowned while she was swimming in a home swimming pool, was saved by the family dog on Saturday. The child was alone in the large pool at the time.
The family of the dog said it would receive an extra large bone as a reward.
Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.
14.What happened to the dog that brought disaster to the town?
15.Who was hurt in the disaster?
16.Where did the second story about dog take place?
17.What would be the reward given to the dog in the second story?
Passage Three
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You
are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year.
A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men’s work and his
own among people in different climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is
summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental
abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be
that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that
bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the nextbest season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good
time to take a long vacation from thinking.
Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.
18.What is the passage mainly about?
19.What is the best season for thinking?
20.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

機到巴黎。男士則說一分鐘之前我還在超市里見過她呢。由此,選項中的“撒謊”與“不撒
謊”并不確定,但是很明顯Jane 今天不在巴黎。
5. 【答案】B
【試題分析】推理判斷題。
【詳細(xì)解答】對話中女士對男士說:Bob 認(rèn)為你不該用你那么好的小刀去
做修理那種事情。但男士說:告訴他這不是他的小刀。從男士的說話中,我們可以推斷出男士認(rèn)為Bob應(yīng)該管他自己的事,言外之意為Bob是多管閑事。選項中詞組“mind one’s business”是“管閑事”之意。

【詳細(xì)解答】對話中男士問女士:此次聚會要持續(xù)多長時間?四點鐘,還要

【詳細(xì)解答】對話中男士問女士:為什么你顯得很焦慮?在你前面完成的就
只有一個人呀。女士則說:我已向我媽允諾過要拿第一的。由此,我們知道她焦慮是因為她
不能實現(xiàn)她的諾言。
8. 【答案】C
【試題分析】推理判斷題。
【詳細(xì)解答】對話中女士說:昨晚朋友在電話里和我聊了兩個小時。男士
則問:電話費免費嗎?該句中“toll”意指長途電話費,“free”是“免費”的意思。由此
我們可以推論出:男士認(rèn)為他們通電話的時間太長,得花多少電話費呀。
9. 【答案】D
【試題分析】地點題。
【詳細(xì)解答】對話中女士說:我們有這種顏色,但是很遺憾這種顏色沒有
中號的。男士則說:既然這樣,我就買藍(lán)色的。從此對話中的一些詞語“color, size, take the blue one”,可以推知對話發(fā)生在百貨商店里,是營業(yè)員與顧客間的對話。
10.【答案】B
【試題分析】細(xì)節(jié)信息明示題。
【詳細(xì)解答】對話中女士問男士:為什么你看起來如此沮喪?男士則說:“
professor Smith”讓他不得不換一個論文的主題。然后女士又說:我早就告訴過你你寫那

less intelligent in summer….”可知選項A不對。文章中明確提及“summer heat”對人

26.【答案】B
【譯文】當(dāng)一所大學(xué)想成為所有學(xué)生的萬能鑰匙時,其目的是把教育重心
放在了訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的各種技能上面。
【試題分析】意圖理解題。

a narrow-minded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision…”,可知
選項A正確。
29.【答案】D
【譯文】美國大學(xué)里本科生人數(shù)的一半都不能畢業(yè)的原因是美國大學(xué)更看
重學(xué)術(shù)研究和文章的發(fā)表,而不是教學(xué)。
【試題分析】細(xì)節(jié)題。
【詳細(xì)解答】從最后一段中此句“Teaching is important, we are told,
and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most.”可知,雖然被告

奇怪,過半人數(shù)的本科生不能畢業(yè)了!豹
30.【答案】B

本文講述的是七十年代美國高等教育困難的諸多原因。七十年代,油價上漲,汽車業(yè)不景氣
,導(dǎo)致整個美國經(jīng)濟一派蕭條。到了上大學(xué)年齡的年青人上不了大學(xué),因為人們無錢供子女
上大學(xué),上了大學(xué)也找不到工作。因教育機構(gòu)的資金銳減而陷入危機,整個美國的高等教育面臨著困境。
31.【答案】B
【譯文】文章的中心大意是什么?
【試題分析】主旨大意題。
【詳細(xì)解答】選項A油價上漲導(dǎo)致了每件東西價格的上漲;選項C五十年代人口
出生率開始下降,都在文章中有提及,但不是文章的主旨。選項D高失業(yè)率引起諸多社會問題,沒有提及。選項B高等教育瀕臨困境的諸多原因,正是本文的中心大意。

【試題分析】細(xì)節(jié)題。
【詳細(xì)解答】從文章中此句“…the large, gasguzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers,…”可知美國汽車又大,又耗油,對美國消費者已沒有吸引力了。文章中還說,外國汽車生產(chǎn)商們開始大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)一些省燃料的小型汽車用于出口,美國人開始批量購買外國汽車。所有這些,都可推出B正確。
34.【答案】C

。
【試題分析】綜合分析歸納題。
【詳細(xì)解答】選項A學(xué)校沒有足夠的資金來繼續(xù)開辦學(xué)校,B年青人出不起
學(xué)費,D經(jīng)濟蕭條使得公眾事業(yè)需要更多政府資金的資助,文章中都明確提及了。選項C大學(xué)要維持在原水平需要更多的資金,沒有提及,故選項C不正確。
35.【答案】D
【譯文】除了哪一選項外,其余選項都是正確的。
【試題分析】綜合分析題。
【詳細(xì)解答】選項D,經(jīng)濟大蕭條導(dǎo)致了七十年代出生率的下降。這一句不
正確。從文章第一句,我們知道五十年代中期,美國的人口出生率下降,而七十年代,這批
五十年代出生的人就到了該上大學(xué)的年齡了。很明顯,選項D,七十年代經(jīng)濟蕭條導(dǎo)致的出
生率下降與原文意思不符,故不正確。而選項A、B、C文章中都明確提到了。
Passage Four
內(nèi)容概要:文章講述了未來的回收利用工程。它可使人們的垃圾變廢為寶。文章具體闡述了兩項工程:一項工程是近期開展的,它是調(diào)查一個五十萬人口的城市,看多少的原材料流進,流出,從而計算出一個城市回收廠的原材料的供應(yīng)量是多少。另一項新工程是找出切實可行的好辦法將垃圾分類。這種大規(guī)模的回收廠要建立的話,大概還得等15年。
36.【答案】A
【譯文】這篇文章的主要目的是什么?
【試題分析】主旨題。
【詳細(xì)解答】文章第一段告訴我們英國等國家應(yīng)該在未來十五年內(nèi)致力于
復(fù)雜的回收利用廠的建立工作,在第二、三段分別具體講述了兩個工程。因而從文章全文來
看,選項A向我們展示一種未來廢品循環(huán)利用的方式是正確答案。B講述回收利用的重要性只在第一段提及,不是文章的中心。C向人們警告廢品的危險性,文章沒有提及。D介紹一個新的回收利用廠,不正確,因為文章沒有向我們介紹一個廠,只是闡述了新的工程。
37.【答案】B
【譯文】循環(huán)回收過程要經(jīng)過幾個步驟?
【試題分析】綜合歸納題。
【詳細(xì)解答】從第三段,我們可以找到一些連接詞“First,…; then…; after that….Finally…”.由此可知共四步。故選項B正確。
38.【答案】C
【譯文】大城市建立循環(huán)回收工廠的主要原因是什么?
【試題分析】細(xì)節(jié)題。
【詳細(xì)解答】從文章中最后一句“…,with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.”可知,主要原因是運送垃圾的交通費用不斷不漲。因而C項:比到遠(yuǎn)處倒拉圾要省錢一些,或節(jié)約一些,故正確。
39.【答案】C
【譯文】第一批這種大規(guī)模的回收利用廠可能十五年后才會建立。
【試題分析】細(xì)節(jié)題及語義理解題。
【詳細(xì)解答】從文章最后一段第一句,“The first fullscale giant recyling plants are, perhaps, fiften years away.”可知要建立大規(guī)模的廠還有十五年的路要走。此句中“fifteen years away”的理解很關(guān)鍵。選項C中not…until,“直到…才”意為“十五年后,才能建立”與原意相符。
40.【答案】D
【譯文】下列哪一個句子是正確的?
【試題分析】綜合分析判斷題。
【詳細(xì)解答】選項A與原文第一段此句“The word rubbish could lose its meaning…”(單詞rubbish 會失去原來的本義…)不符,故不對;B項與原文第一段中“Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes could provide energy if nothing else.”(那些最危險,最讓人討厭的垃圾,即使不能提供別的,也能提供能源。)不符,故不對。
C項也不對,因為文章第三段明確提到紙和橡皮可被重新利用。D是正確的,最后一段提及了。

,因而”;D) however “無論如何,不管怎樣”,根據(jù)句意,D正確。
44.【答案】D
【譯文】雖然多次警告過那孩子不要玩火,但是他聽不進去。
【試題分析】本題測試句子結(jié)構(gòu)。
【詳細(xì)解答】此句中“but”是并列連詞,連結(jié)兩個并列句,因而“but”
前面應(yīng)是一個分句,選項A可排除。狀語“many a time”放在句首,句子要倒裝。選項D是正確的。
45.【答案】B
【譯文】他不可能現(xiàn)在完成論文,十分鐘前我離開他時,他還沒有寫一個字。

【譯文】一想到明天的這個時候我就在陽光明媚的沙灘上玩耍,難道不是
一件快樂的事嗎?
【試題分析】本題測試句子結(jié)構(gòu)。
【詳細(xì)解答】“will+不定式進行體”表示將來時間。有兩種用法:1)表示
將來某一時間正在進行的動作。2)“單純”表示將來要發(fā)生的動作。這一結(jié)構(gòu)在口語中用得
多。它與“will+不定式結(jié)構(gòu)”有區(qū)別,在于它不帶情態(tài)色彩,表示“純粹”將來,但正由
于其不帶情態(tài)色彩,在某些場合便能表示婉轉(zhuǎn)口氣。從而現(xiàn)代英語用will+being 表禮貌的詢問、請求等。eg. ①When will you be visiting us again? ②When will you visit us again?句①不帶請求意愿色彩,口氣較隨使,婉轉(zhuǎn);②則有需求對方表態(tài)之意,口氣不夠婉轉(zhuǎn)。
47.【答案】C
【譯文】難道你不知道這是他第一次出席這種會議嗎?
【試題分析】測試句子結(jié)構(gòu)。
【詳細(xì)解答】在“It’s the 1st time that…”結(jié)構(gòu)中,that——分句中的
動詞用現(xiàn)在完成體。
48.【答案】D
【譯文】如果你采納了我的建議,你現(xiàn)在就不會為你的失敗后悔了。你就
在為你的成功而慶祝了。
【試題分析】本題測試混合虛擬語氣。
【詳細(xì)解答】當(dāng)主句與從句時態(tài)不一致時,主句與從句分別使用與各自時
態(tài)相應(yīng)的虛擬語氣。此句中從句與過去事實相反,主句與現(xiàn)在事實相反,因而選項D正確。
49.【答案】D
【譯文】我寧愿出去找一份工作,也不要每天在這里閑蕩。
【試題分析】本題測試短語結(jié)構(gòu)。
【詳細(xì)解答】would rather+動詞原形,表示“寧愿”。

【試題分析】本題測試名詞性從句的用法。
【詳細(xì)解答】A) if引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句,不合題意;B) that引導(dǎo)名詞從句
,但“that”是引導(dǎo)詞,不做任何成分,此句意思肯定,即“他是工作的合適人選”與后面
的“controversial”相矛盾;C) whether 引導(dǎo)名詞從句,“是否”,合乎題意;D) 是B句
中“that”的省略,也不對。
54.【答案】B

【試題分析】本題測試句子結(jié)構(gòu)。
【詳細(xì)解答】此句是定語從句,關(guān)系代詞代的是前面整個句子,即“He has won the 1st place.”四個選項中C、D都不是關(guān)系代詞,選項A雖是關(guān)系代詞,但不引導(dǎo)非

Part Ⅳ Translation
S1.【答案】遠(yuǎn)離其他地方的主要污染源和復(fù)雜的地理、生態(tài)體系
,相對于在世界其它地區(qū)所做的科學(xué)測量來說,在南極洲做的科學(xué)測量更精確,更容易作出
解釋。
【翻譯技巧】順譯法,分譯法,語序調(diào)整法。
【翻譯要點】這句話包含的信息很多。首先分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),此句的主干為
“Antarctica makes possible scientific measure ments”。前面的“Remote from…”是
補充說明“Antarctica”的,可以直接順譯為“遠(yuǎn)離…”,其后面的“that are…the worl
d”是定語從句,用來修辭“scientific measurements”(科學(xué)測量)。此定語從句較長,而
且用的比較級,我們就把它單獨拿出分譯,并且將其語序的結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整,那定語從句就成為主
謂結(jié)構(gòu),從句中的比較部分“than…”,單獨拿出,放在了前面。
S2.【答案】學(xué)生們有很多選擇,可以挑選所學(xué)課程,拿到學(xué)位。
【翻譯技巧】語態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)換法,減詞法。
【翻譯要點】此句是個并列結(jié)構(gòu),并且采用了被動語態(tài)。在漢語里,小分
句很多,因而英語里的“and”,不直接譯出,譯成小分句,就比較符合漢語的語法習(xí)慣。
另外,漢語中一般很少用被動語態(tài),因而根據(jù)漢語習(xí)慣,將其變成主動句,也就是“studen
ts are offered…and allowed…”“被給予…,被允許…”;譯為主動句“學(xué)生們有……,學(xué)生們可以……”。
S3.【答案】另外,年輕學(xué)者常有的抱怨是,“盡管行政人員和同
事對所出版的文章內(nèi)容幾乎沒有任何興趣,出版的壓力還是很大”。
【翻譯技巧】順譯法,語序調(diào)整法。
【翻譯要點】此句中的句子主干是“a complaint is that…”。在翻譯時
,主句順序不變,可譯為“抱怨是…”,英語里的“among young scholars”,按照漢語習(xí)
慣,轉(zhuǎn)為其相應(yīng)的定語,置于被修辭語“抱怨”的前面,就成了“年輕學(xué)者常有的抱怨是……”。從句中,“…,although…”引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句,也要根據(jù)漢語習(xí)慣,把“雖然……”放
在前面,更上口些。
S4.【答案】70年代還發(fā)生了其它的事兒:油價暴漲引發(fā)了幾乎所
有東西的價格上揚,使美國人意識到他們的寬敞的小汽車耗油太多。
【翻譯技巧】順譯法,分譯法。
【翻譯要點】此句的難點在后面,冒號后是一個從句,主干為“the price
of oil increased…,”其后的“driving up…and making Americans aware that…”,
是分詞作狀語。而且“making…aware that…”,又是一個賓語從句。句子結(jié)構(gòu)比較復(fù)雜,
我們根據(jù)漢語習(xí)慣,把它們譯成為小分句,“油價暴漲,引發(fā)了…,使…意識到…”。賓語
從句可直譯。
S5.【答案】那些最危險、最讓人討厭的垃圾,即使不能提供別的
,也能提供能源。
【翻譯技巧】順序調(diào)整法,增詞法。
【翻譯要點】此句翻譯的難點在于理解從句“if nothing else”的意思。
nothing else 是“沒有其它的,沒有別的”意思,根據(jù)上下文,可譯為“不能提供別的”
,并根據(jù)漢語習(xí)慣把“if…”從句從句尾提到了前面。

Should College Students Take Parttime Jobs?
Nowadays, many college students are taking parttime jobs in their spare time.
On this phenomenon, different people have different views.
Opponents, especially parents of those students, think that the major task for college students is to study. Taking parttime jobs will cut into their time for
study. Book knowledge is the most important. The socalled social experience can be acquired after they graduate and enter society.
Supporters see many advantages in college students taking parttime jobs. Firstly, it provides the students a chance to realize that money is always earned in a hard way so that they’ll learn to be economical. Secondly, from a practical point of view, students can earn some money to relieve the financial burden on their parents. Thirdly, parttime jobs may lead the students out of the ivory tower to see the real world.
Although opinions vary as to whether students should take parttime jobs or not, it is up to the students themselves to make the decision after sizing up their
own special case. If they can handle their study very well, taking a parttime
job might be fun.
