possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have
heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
11.A.South Korean Women. B.American citizens.
C.People in industrialized countries. D.People with economic improvements.
12.A.High premature deaths. B.Overweight citizens.
C.A lack of public health care. D.A shortage in new medical technologies.
13.A.More facilities should be established.
B.Additional pressure should be put on pensions.
C.People should retire at an earlier age.
D.People should be provided with more payments.
【答案】11.A 12.D 13.A
【原文】M: A new study predicts that South Korean women will be the first group in the world to
have an average lifespan of more than 90 years. Researchers at Imperial College London and the
World Health Organization studied the lifespans of people in 35 industrialized countries. Their
findings suggest that by 2030 people will be living longer. It also says the gap between men and
women could start to close in most countries. According to the study, the increase in life
试卷第 32 页,共 32 页expectancy was caused by decreases in deaths from infections and long-term diseases in children
and adults. The study says gains in life expectancy are a result of economic improvements. These
games have led to improved use, nutrition, increased access to primary and secondary health care
and the development of new medical technologies.
The US is behind other developed countries. Americans continue to have one of the lower life
expectancies among developed countries. The writers of the study said life expectancy increases
were smaller partly because of a lack of universal healthcare in the United States. The study also
said problems such as relatively high death rates in children and high rates of obesity were to
blame. In other words, most people are too fat. The study said that with longer life expectancy,
there will also be new pressures on health and social services. The number of people needing long
term care in their old age will increase, which will put stress on available facilities given this care.
The study suggests that either more facilities will need to be built or healthcare may need to be
provided at home. There will also be additional pressure on pensions and social security. These
are programs that provide money to people after they retire from work. With people living longer,
they will require more pension and social security payments than earlier generations. The study
suggests that either the retirement age will need to be increased, or plans will need to put in place
to transition workers to retirement at a later age.
Question 11: Which group will probably be the first to live beyond 90 years old?
Question 12: Which is not a factor leading to a lower life expectancy in the US?
Question 13: What can be done to deal with the pressures on health services?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
14.A.Suggestions on how to think up great ideas.
B.Proposals of how to set up your own business.
C.Tips on how to be a successful businessman.
D.Ideas about how to treat your customers.
15.A.Because your chances of success will be increased.
B.Because your business idea will be more creative.
C.Because it will help decide whether to pursue the idea.
D.Because you can’t do your work without business learning.
16.A.They enter the market with their eyes open.
试卷第 29 页,共 32 页B.They believe the more failures, the better.
C.They were born to be great risk takers.
D.They do a careful study to ensure their success.
【答案】14.C 15.A 16.D
【 原 文 】 Today, I want to talk about how to be an entrepreneur. In other words, a great
businessman. In fact, many people are amazed with how the entrepreneurs mind works. How does
an entrepreneur become successful? The following tips may be useful to you. One, you need to
think up great ideas. You have to research if your business idea is feasible. After gathering all the
needed information, you can now decide if you will pursue the business idea or do it in the future.
Besides, you can’t work your way to success if you don’t know some concepts, such as return on
an investment, speed of business returns, and many others. So having the proper educational
background will help you a lot in succeeding in the business world. Two, be a risk taker. Most
entrepreneurs are not afraid to take risks. This does not mean that entrepreneurs enter the market
with their eyes closed, hoping for success. Entrepreneurs are willing to take risks, especially if
after a careful study, they can see high chances of success. On the other hand, an entrepreneur
learns a lot from past failures. It’s all part of life, and so you should not be scared. Three, be
friendly and genuine to your customers. If you can build goodwill and you can win the trust of
your customers and subscribers, your business will surely succeed. If you have these qualities,
then you’re on your way to becoming a successful entrepreneur. You can choose between online
internet businesses, or you can start by putting up a business in your local area.
Questions
14. What does the speaker mainly talk about?
15. Why is it important to continue your business related learning?
16. Why are entrepreneurs willing to take risks?

17.A.Beautiful scenery in the countryside.
B.Cross-country skiing.
C.Dangers of winter sports.
D.Pain and pleasure in sports.
18.A.He can’t find good examples to illustrate his point.
试卷第 32 页,共 32 页B.He can’t find a peaceful place to do the assignment.

【答案】17.B 18.C 19.A 20.D
【原文】Tony: Hello, Professor Jones.
Professor Jones: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?
Tony: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn’t coming up right. What I thought I
was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me, one I take part in。
Professor Jones: What sport did you choose?
Tony: I decided to write about cross country skiing.
Professor Jones: What are you going to say about skiing?
Tony: That’s the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.
Professor Jones: So why is that a problem?
Tony: As I started describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much
effort it takes to keep going. Cross country skiing isn’t as easy as some people think. It takes a lot
of energy, but that’s not part of my paper. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I don’t know
how to explain the feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It
all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds rolling by. That’
s different.
Professor Jones: Then you’ll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross country
skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of a point you knew beforehand, but
part you discovered, as he wrote. That’s common, right?
试卷第 29 页,共 32 页Tony: Yeah, I guess so.
Questions
17. What is the topic of the man’s writing assignment?
18. What problem does the man have while working on this paper?
19. What does the woman say is common in writing papers?
20. What is the conversation mainly about?
II. Grammar and Vocabulary (每题1分;共20分)
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and
grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form
of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working
out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill
after a meal, to 21 (calculate) your household bills. But many fear the moment
22 they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion.
It can seem daunting, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone.
And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers
who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may
be 23 (likely) to be affected. The Programme for International Student
Assessment found around 31%of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very
nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60%
said maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School
of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is
critical, especially 24 a young age”. She thinks the key is 25 (get)
people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear 26 maths
arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer —
试卷第 32 页,共 32 页there’s no room for bluffing — 27 make you more worried about
underperforming.” And 28 we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid
solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists 29 (try) to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out
in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your
fears can loosen 30 control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a
challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second
chance.
【答案】
21.calculating 22.when 23.more likely 24.at 25.to get 26.why 27.
may/can/could/might 28.once 29.have been trying 30.their

语,真正的主语是空格后的从句,所以空格处应该用连接词引导主语从句,且意义为“为什
么”,所以用连接副词 why。故填 why。
试卷第 29 页,共 32 页27.考查情态动词。句意:但事实是,有正确或错误的答案——没有诈唬的余地——可能会

能会做的事情。根据句意和空格后的句子可知,空格处应该用连词引导条件状语从句,且意
义为“一旦”,所以用连词 once。故填 once。
29.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:心理学家一直在试图弄清楚为什么心算能让我们大汗淋漓。

been trying。
30.考查形容词性物主代词。句意:恐惧的种子可能有很多来源,但有些人认为,表达你的
恐惧可以放松他们对你的控制,鼓励孩子们把数学考试视为挑战,而不是威胁。空格处作定
语,修饰空格后的名词 control,且代指上文的 fears,所以应该用形容词性物主代词 their。
故填 their。

Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used
only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Today’s children are exhausted, and not just because one in three kids is not getting enough
sleep. Sleep deprivation in kids (who require at least nine hours a night, depending on age) has
been found to 31 decrease academic achievement, lower intelligence test scores, slow
physical growth, and 32 to moodiness and irritability. While the argument for
protecting our children’s sleep time is convincing, there is another kind of rest that is 33
and beneficial to our children’s academic, emotional, and creative lives: daydreaming.
Not all mental downtime (停 工 休 息 期 ) is alike, of course. Downtime spent playing a
videogame or watching a television show may have its 34 , but the kind of downtime I
试卷第 32 页,共 32 页am talking about is different. I’m talking about the kind of mind-wandering that happens when the
brain is free of interruption and allowed to get rid of the 35 of the day. Television,
video games, and other electronic 36 prevent this kind of mental wandering because
they interrupt the flow of thoughts and memories that 37 the foundation of positive,
productive daydreaming.
There is, however, another way of looking at mind wandering. For the individual, mind
wandering offers the possibility of very real, personal reward, some immediate, some more
38 . These rewards include self-awareness, memory consolidation, future planning, simulating
the 39 of another person, evaluating the implications of self and others’ emotional
reactions, moral reasoning.
In other words, daydreaming only seems lazy from the outside, but viewed from the inside or
from the perspective of a psychologist, such as Kaufman, or a neuroscientist, such as Mary Helen,
a complicated and extremely 40 neurological process is taking place. Viewed from the
inside, our children are exploring the only space where they truly have autonomy: their own minds.
【答案】

III. Reading Comprehension (41 – 55题,每题1分;56 – 70题,每题2分;共45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Is there anything nicer than a cooling ice cream on a hot summer’s day? This traditional
treat is centuries old, but our tastes and consumer habits are 41 . How is the ice cream
production process changing, and who is driving this 42 ?
Making ice cream is a 43 process. While the recipe is 44 -milk, sugar and
fat, plus flavors and colors-ice cream has a complex chemistry. Getting the 45 right
试卷第 32 页,共 32 页between ice, fat and air is important if the ice cream is to have the right texture. To achieve this,
the ingredients need to be mixed and heated, then cooled and frozen-a process that takes time and
uses a lot of energy. Designers and engineers are working to 46 the production process
with new specialized equipment to make it increasingly automated. For now, 47 , even
with the help of robots and 3D printers, it can take up to two years from testing a new frozen
dessert product to it being 48 to consumers.
And demand is only going up. According to the food packaging company Tetra Pak, more
than 25 billion litres of ice cream were eaten 49 in 2021. While the US and China are
the biggest consumers, data from Nielsen IQ shows that people in the UK bought 28% more ice
cream during the UK’s record-breaking summer compared to a year earlier. 50 , rising
temperatures can explain why some people are buying more ice cream, but it’s not the only
explanation. The pandemic has seen people 51 pleasures they can enjoy at home,
which include eating indulgent (放纵的) foods. And worries about the cost-of-living crisis could
have a 52 effect, as even a premium (高端的) ice cream is an affordable treat.
So, what new things can we expect on a stick or in a cone? Consumers of all ages buy ice
cream, but it is millennial consumers who are driving interest in more original flavors, including
spices. Dairy still 53 , but plant-based ice cream, sorbets (雪糕) and low-calorie
choices are a growing part of the frozen dessert market. But, according to Elsebeth Baungaard,
portfolio manager (投资组合经理) at Tetra Pak, the next worldwide 54 will be less
about innovation and more about portion size. “I’m sorry to say it’s simply 55 ,” she
says. “But the quality will be higher.”

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I
know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe
that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my
patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day.
Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me
试卷第 32 页,共 32 页it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both
physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as
a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want
my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.
Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as
a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my hip, and my
recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last
three operations usually did his rounds late at night.
He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking
Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his
offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more
importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and
obeyed everything he told me to do.
Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I
have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least
never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made
that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have
failed them as a physician and as a person.
56.According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean?
A.It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it.
B.It gives him the power to order tests and treatments.
C.It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble.
D.It helps communicate his care towards his patients.
57.The author mentioned his own experience as a patient, which of the following is NOT his
intention?
A.Showing his gratitude for the surgeon
B.Demonstrating his action of giving blankets
C.Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patients
D.Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors
58.What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply?
试卷第 29 页,共 32 页A.The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing them
blankets.
B.A good physician should understand patient’s needs.
C.It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients.
D.The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs.
59.The passage is manly about __________.
A.emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patients
B.emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patients
C.emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heart
D.emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship

(C)
For companies who bottle pure mountain air, like one in Canada, dropping air quality is a
business opportunity. For the rest of us, it’s a killer. While billions of people live in a fog of
harmful airborne particles each day, the business of Vitality Air, which sells bottled Canadian
mountain air, is booming.
“Our Chinese website keeps crashing. We are getting orders from all over the country, not
just the wealthier cities,” said Harrison Wang, China representative for Vitality Air. “When the air
is bad, we see increase in sales.” While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s
national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities,
plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air.
The past week has also identified the cause for this smoggy malaise (难以捉摸的问题).
The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric
试卷第 29 页,共 32 页concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human
history. Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂
dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter.
Indeed, if humans vanished tomorrow, our great contributions will not be non-hovering
hover boards, but our pollution. Recent research concludes that on vast geological timescales,
humans will leave behind just a layer of plastic and a blanket of planet-warming greenhouse gases.
Cities, where most pollution dwells, are perhaps ahead of national governments in realizing
the crisis we all now face. In the US, the Clean Air Act has lifted the smog from many large
American metropolises and have banded with other urban areas from around the world to do more
to tackle climate change. Paris has placed a monthly ban upon cars along the Champs-Elysee,
while Santiago in Chile last year temporarily banned 40% of its 1.7m vehicles.
But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear
that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment
and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their
energy needs. Otherwise we will run out of places to bottle clean air from.
63.Which of the following statement about Vitality Air is TRUE?
A.It sells bottled pure mountain air only to wealthy cities in China.
B.The Canadian company profits by transporting national parks’ air to Chinese people.
C.It is a technology company whose website keeps crashing.
D.Its products cause serious environmental problems.
64.What is the root of the world’s air pollution problem?
A.The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide.
B.The excessive burning of fossil fuels.
C.The dissolving Great Barrier Reef.
D.The trillions of tiny pieces plastic.
65.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Plenty of other nations were not able to buy clean bottled air from Vitality Air.
B.Innovative technologies would be the consequence if humans disappeared on the earth.
C.The warm winter in Alaska is caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
D.National governments are working on the smoggy problem through a joint effort.
试卷第 32 页,共 32 页66.Which of the following is the best title?
A.Bottled air: far from a silver bullet to air pollution
B.Dropping air quality: the killer hunting all of us
C.A global dilemma: pollution has both upsides and downsides
D.An emergent call: we are running out of clean bottled air

Not All Waste Has to Go to Waste
Most of the world’s 2.22 billion tons of annual trash ends up in landfills or open dumps.
Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South Wales in
Sydney, Australia, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories.
There little trash processors — some as small as 500 square feet — house a series of machines
that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with the new technology. 67
Sahajwalla launched the world’s first waste micro factory targeting electronic waste, or
e-waste, in 2018 in Sydney. A second one began recycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is
working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented microfactory
technology. 68 The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on
location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission treks between recycling processors
and manufacturing plants. With a microfactory, gone are the days of needing separate facilities to
collect and store materials, extract elements and produce new products.
69 Her invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and
creating something different. “The kids don’t look like the parents,” she says.
For example, the microfactory can break down old smartphones and computer monitors and
extract silica (from the glass) and carbon (from the plastic casing), and then combine them
together. This generates a common material with many industrial uses. 70
In 2019, just 17.4 percent of e-waste was recycled, so they ability to re-form offers a crucial
new development in the challenge recycling complex electronic devices. “We can do so much
more with materials,” says Sahajwalla.
A.Traditional recycling has not worked for every recycling challenge, especially the recycling of
试卷第 32 页,共 32 页e-waste.
B.She says the small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on
renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants.
C.Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R”, adding “re-form” to the common phrase
“reduce, rouse, recycle.”
D. Electronics contains various poisonous chemicals and materials that are released into the
environments if they are not dealt with properly.
E.The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust.
F. Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products — like
melting down plastic to make more plastic things.
【答案】67.E 68.B 69.F 70.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了 Veena Sahajwalla 发明的废物微工厂,可解决大量垃圾
问题,还阐述了其优势、工作原理及在电子废物回收方面的重要意义等。
67.根据上文“Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South
Wales in Sydney, Australia, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste
microfactories. There little trash processors — some as small as 500 square feet — house a

international, high-emission treks between recycling processors and manufacturing plants.(这种方
法还将使城市能够在当地将废物回收制成新产品,避免了回收加工商和制造工厂之间漫长的、
通常是跨国的、高排放的长途跋涉)”可知,本段提到 Sahajwalla 的微工厂,且空后 also 证明
了这个微工厂的另一个好处,因此,空处应提到微工厂的好处,B 项“She says the small scale
of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most
large manufacturing plants.(她说,这些机器的小型化将使它们未来更容易使用可再生能源,
这与大多数大型制造工厂不同)”说明微工厂的的好处之一,承上启下,符合语境,故选 B 项。
69. 根 据 下 文 “Her invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and
creating something different. (她的发明通过从旧产品中提取材料并创造出不同的东西来发展
这一理念)”可知,这里是在说明传统的回收方式与 Sahajwalla 的发明的不同之处,可推理出
空处说的是传统的回收工厂的回收方法的特点,F 项“Traditionally, recycling plants break
down materials for reuse in similar products — like melting down plastic to make more plastic
things.(传统上,回收工厂将材料分解以便在类似产品中重复使用——比如熔化塑料来制造更
多塑料制品)”说明传统的回收方法,与下文形成对比,符合语境,故选 F 项。

monitors and extract silica (from the glass) and carbon (from the plastic casing), and then combine
them together. This generates a common material with many industrial uses.(例如,微工厂可以分
解旧智能手机和电脑显示器,从玻璃中提取二氧化硅,从塑料外壳中提取碳,然后将它们组
合在一起。这产生了一种有许多工业用途的常见材料)”可知,这里在举例说明微工厂的回收
过程,它的特点是重新生成了一种有许多工业用途的常见材料,C 项“Sahajwalla refers to this
process as “the fourth R”, adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce, rouse, recycle.”
(Sahajwalla 将这一过程称为“第四个 R”,在常见的“减少、唤醒、回收”短语中加入了“重新

试卷第 32 页,共 32 页71.Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point
(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Read with Eyes or Ears
Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading nook, ignoring the world around you,
absorbed in a tale. You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of
an absolute page-turner. But, there’s a hot debate-physical books vs. books vs. audiobooks. Does
the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book?
Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s attention span, reasoning,
reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen
communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. So,
whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits.
But, let’s look at the pros to reading with your eyes-that’s physical books and e-books.
They can help to retain information better. This is because when you can actually see the words,
your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back
and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which it likely will at some point
or other.
On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and
the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film-in your head. From a scientific
perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy as
you hear the emotion of the narrator. We can more easily understand inflection and intonation.
Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain, heightening the intensity and imagery,
making you enjoy it more.
All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks.
Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may
just change your whole literary experience.

你的文学体验。

V. Translation (第1-2句,每句3分;第3句,4分;第4句5分;共15分)
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
72.买很多不需要的东西有意义吗? (point)
【答案】Is there any point buying too many unnecessary things?
【详解】考查固定句式和 there be 的一般疑问句。陈述客观情况,用一般现在时,固定句式
there is no point doing,做……是没有意义的,转换为一般疑问句形式为 Is there any point
doing? 形容词 unnecessary(不需要的)修饰名词 things,故翻译为:Is there any point buying
too many unnecessary things?
73.志愿者们蹑手蹑脚地走进养老院以免吵醒熟睡中的老人们。(tiptoe)
【答案】Volunteers tiptoed into the nursing home to avoid waking up the sleeping elderly.
【详解】考查动词短语和不定式。句子陈述过去的动作,用一般过去时。“志愿者们”为
Volunteers,作主语。句中的“蹑手蹑脚地走”译为 tiptoe,“蹑手蹑脚地走进养老院”作动词短
语 tiptoe into the nursing home,“以免吵醒熟睡中的老人们”表示目的,使用不定式短语 to
avoid waking up the sleeping elderly 来表达。故翻译为:Volunteers tiptoed into the nursing home
to avoid waking up the sleeping elderly.
74.对一个作家来说,没有比看到自己付出心血的作品放在书架上无人问津更烦心的事了。
(There...)
【答案】There is nothing more frustrating to a writer than to see the work he has worked so hard
for sitting on a shelf.
【详解】考查固定句型、形容词、定语从句和动词短语。根据句意以及句子的提示要求可知,
该句为 There is nothing more…than…的固定句型,表示“没有什么比……更……”;表示“令人
沮丧的”为形容词 frustrating;表示“看到作品”应为动词短语 see the work;后接省略关系代词
that 的定语从句,在该定语从句中,表示“努力工作为了……”应为动词短语 work so hard for…,
陈述已经完成的动作用现在完成时;表示“在书架上”为 sit on a shelf,sit 和逻辑主语 work
试卷第 29 页,共 32 页之间为主动关系,用现在分词作宾补。故翻译为:There is nothing more frustrating to a writer
than to see the work he has worked so hard for sitting on a shelf.
75.这部时长两个多小时的电影,在九月底首发,激起了中国人民心底强烈的爱国之情。
(launch)
【答案】The movie that/which lasts more than two hours, when (it was) first launched at the end
of September, has aroused great patriotic feelings from the bottom of Chinese people’s heart.
【详解】考查定语从句,状语从句的省略以及动词时态。表示“电影”用 the movie,为句子
的主语,表示“这部时长两个多小时的电影”用 which/that lasts more than two hours,此处使用
that/which 引导的定语从句对 movie 进行修饰,引导词在从中作主语,从句表述客观事实,
故使用一般现在时,表示“持续”用 last;表示“在九月底首发”用 when (it was)first launched
at the end of September,此处使用 when 引导状语从句,it 指代 the movie,表示“发行”用 launch,
二者之前为被动关系,同时表示“首先”用 first,表示“九月底”用 at the end of September,其
为一般过去时的时间标志,故从句使用一般过去时的被动语态,或者可以构成状语从句的省
略结构即省略 it was;同时表示“激发,激起”用动词 arouse,此处表示动作发生在过去,对
现在有影响,故使用现在完成时即 has aroused,其为主句的谓语动词;表示“强烈的爱国之
情”用 great patriotic feelings 为句子的宾语;表示“从中国人们心底”用 from the of Chinese
people’s heart,使用 from 构成的介词短语作状语。故翻译为 The movie that/which lasts more
than two hours, when (it was) first launched at the end of September, has aroused great patriotic
feelings from the bottom of Chinese people’s heart.
