[選項分析][A]充足的 [B] 著名的 [C] 完美的 [D] 必要的 首先,根據(jù)本句題干 “That’s?because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking 3 for making investments for the future.”譯為“因為快樂與對未來投資有______長遠(yuǎn)考慮相聯(lián)系。”要求填寫形容詞, 我們要考慮其搭配與其修飾成分。空格處搭配介詞for, 并且修飾“長遠(yuǎn)考慮”。因此D選項最符合語境要求。
[選項分析] [A]發(fā)出回聲 [B] 想念,錯過 [C] 破壞 [D] 改變 根據(jù)原文語境,“would 5 the way companies invested.”本題考查動賓搭配,賓語為“公司投資的方式”只有D選項搭配最為合理。

[考點分析]上下文語義及動詞詞義辨析
[選項分析] [A]想象 [B] 衡量,測量 [C] 發(fā)明 [D] 假定,設(shè)想 “So they compared U.S. cities’average happiness 6 by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.”譯為“他們把蓋洛普咨詢公司所_____的美國城市平均幸福指數(shù)與該地區(qū)的上市公司投資活躍度進(jìn)行對比。” 根據(jù)原文語境,蓋洛普咨詢公司所做的應(yīng)該是一個“既定事實”所以排除ACD。因此,B選項為最佳選項。
[選項分析] [A]廣告的 [B] 劃分的 [C] 課稅過重的 [D]位于總部的 根據(jù)原文“ firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were 8 . ”譯為“足以肯定的是,公司投資與研發(fā)力度與公司______的幸福指數(shù)相關(guān)。”in which 引導(dǎo)表示地點的定語從句,先行詞為area.對比四個選項,ABC不足以說明此地點的真實含義。因此,D選項,搭配前文area,構(gòu)成“總部所在地”最為合理。
9.[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案][A]explain
[考點分析]上下文語義及動詞詞義辨析
[選項分析] [A]解釋 [B] 夸大 [C] 概述[D]重點強(qiáng)調(diào) 根據(jù)原文“…or ould something else about happier cities 9 why firms there spend more on R&D?” A選項 “explain”常和后文 “why” 搭配使用。

controlled for various 10 that might make firms more likely to invest – like size, industry, and sales…”本題中,破折號后面 “大小,產(chǎn)業(yè),銷售”這些都是 “讓公司有更多投資的”因素。因此,B選項最符合原文語境。
11.[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [A] desirable
[考點分析] 上下文語義和形容詞
[選項分析] 該空填的是形容詞,用來修飾前面的名詞place,并且在意義上也是對后面like growth in wages or population的解釋,可以看出來應(yīng)該是填褒義詞,并且能修飾place.所以只有[A]desirable合適的 符合文章。[B]social 社交的 [C]reputable 受尊敬的 [D]reliable 可依靠的。
[考點分析] 本空考察動詞詞組,且該詞組詞義應(yīng)與and前面意思保持一致,且作用對象為研發(fā)。[A]pray for 祈禱 [B]lean towards 傾向 [C]give away 放棄,泄露 [D]send out 放出,給予。只有[B]選項能表達(dá)一種遞進(jìn)含義。
解析:此題是文中人物觀點題。根據(jù)Cortina定位到第二段前三句。Cortina認(rèn)為盡早接觸計算機(jī)科學(xué)是有益的。第三句It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. 譯為在轉(zhuǎn)變思維程序方面小孩不像年齡較大的學(xué)生一樣困難,即B remodel the way of thinking 轉(zhuǎn)變思維方式即為同義替換。
23 答案 A help students learn other computer languages
解析:文中人物觀點題。題干問的是Deborah Seehorn認(rèn)為在Flatiron這里所學(xué)到的技能將能怎么樣,據(jù)此定位到第五段But處,和題干基本一致,該句指出“But the skills they learn…appl to any coding language”,意思是他們學(xué)到的技能可以應(yīng)用于任何編碼語言。對比答案選項,A選項的意思是“幫助學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)其他的計算機(jī)語言”屬于原文定位處的同義替換。
24 答案 C become better prepared for the digitalized world
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。題干指出:根據(jù)最后一段,F(xiàn)latiron的學(xué)生被期望去干什么。據(jù)此定位到最后一段的These kids are going to be處,是題干的同義復(fù)現(xiàn)。定位句“These kids are…be surrounded by computers for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think…….the better.”,意思是學(xué)生們越早學(xué)越好。C選項“為數(shù)字化的未來做更好的準(zhǔn)備”是同義概述。
25 答案 B persuade
解析:詞義句意題,結(jié)合上下文來解題。根據(jù)coax此單詞,定位到最后一段最后一句“how to coax the machine into producing what they want”,考察固定搭配“persuade…into…”。A選項挑戰(zhàn),B選項勸服,C選項使恐慌,D選項誤導(dǎo)?忌鲱}時一定要注意結(jié)合上下文來推測生詞的詞義,這是命題人的出題 規(guī)律。
Text 2
26 答案 A its drastically decreased population
解析:此題是原因細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第一段But前后關(guān)于lesser prairie chickens 數(shù)量2million和22,000的強(qiáng)烈對比。此外第二段第二句“the lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation”都可以得知A its drastically decreased population 數(shù)量的急劇下降為正確答案。
27 答案 C granted less federal regulatory powers
Grant 動詞-同意允許;授予賦予
名詞-補(bǔ)貼
解析:此題是原因細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第二段第四句,They had …, a state that gives federal officials greater regulatory power. 而But 之后是截然相反的事實,即政府授予了更少的管理權(quán)。故而C granted less federal regulatory powers為正確答案。
28 答案 A agree to pay a sum for compensation賠償補(bǔ)償 薪酬
解析:推斷題。題干問的是從第三段推出來:無意傷害的那些人是不會被檢舉的如果怎么樣。根據(jù)題干定位到第三段首句“it would not prosecute….as long as ….”,題干中問的if即原文的as long as的同意替換,原文as long as的意思是:只要他們簽署了計劃。下一句說道,該計劃要求個體和企業(yè)去支付基金。對應(yīng)選項A選項“贊同支付賠償”屬于同義替換。
29 答案 D the states
解析:此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第三段最后一句the idea is to let the“states”remain in the driver’s seat for managing the species, Ashe said. 其中in the driver’s seat對應(yīng)題干中的the leading role, 故而D states為正確答案。
解析:題干問的是“empty bottles”暗喻證明了人們在做什么方面有壓力,empty bottles直接可以在文中Gary Eberle所說的話中找到:“The future comes at us like empty bottles…”。其所說的話證明的目的必然是為了說明前一句的觀點。因此,該題定位到三段“try to slot…but not the most fulfilling kind”,該句就指出:只會處理目標(biāo)集中的閱讀,這是有用的,但不是最有滿足感的。結(jié)合選項B使流逝的時間更有滿足感,是原文的同義替換。
33 答案 D achieve immersive reading
解析:文中人物觀點題,注意區(qū)分文中人物觀點和作者觀點。題干問的是Eberle贊同為閱讀設(shè)定規(guī)定性時間幫助什么。根據(jù)題干精確定位到第四段第二句:“You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, E…..into soul time”,意思是你會認(rèn)為這可以提升效率性思維設(shè)定,但實際上這些行為幫助我們跨入到靈魂閱讀時間。對應(yīng)選項D,獲得深入閱讀,屬于同義替換。
34 答案 A reading becomes your primary business of the day
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。題干指出:總是帶一本書會起作用如果怎么樣。根據(jù)題干定位到末段中間部分“carry a book with you at all times can actually work, too … so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business.”,意思是這樣的話閱讀就成為默認(rèn)狀態(tài),偶爾會出來管理工作(注意business并非默認(rèn)狀態(tài),非主要事情)。對應(yīng)選項A 閱讀成為每天的主要任務(wù),是該句的同義替換。
解析:此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第二段第一句Across generational lines,…including getting married, having children…即成功的標(biāo)志包括結(jié)婚生子,故而正確選項是B having a family with children.
37 答案 C attach importance to pre-marital finance
解析:此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第三段第一句Young people…to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children…即年輕人認(rèn)為夫妻在結(jié)婚前或者生小孩前應(yīng)該在經(jīng)濟(jì)上是穩(wěn)定的,故而C attach importance to pre-marital finance為正確答案。
38 答案 D reach almost all aspect=respect 方面s of American life
解析:此題是細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第四段第一句…those just starting…will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects …即這些期待即將滲透到美國生活的各個方面,故而D reach almost all aspects of American life為正確答案。
39 答案 D getting established is harder for the young
解析:此題是文中人物觀點題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第五段第一句…it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. 即與年長者相比,現(xiàn)如今的年輕人維持生計更加困難,故而D getting established is harder for the young為正確答案。
40 答案 C His parents’ good life has little to do with a college degree.
解析:此題是正誤判斷題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到第六段第五句Looking back…his parents could provide a comfortable life for the children even though neither had completed college when he was young.即父母即便沒有上過大學(xué)但仍舊可以為孩子提供舒適的生活,故而His parents’ good life has little to do with a college degree.為正確答案。
41. C 表達(dá)情感。開頭以問句的方式:“孩子悲傷時會怎樣?孩子生氣時會如何?他們的表達(dá)方式與大人不同,成人更多會選擇壓抑情感,并且會有不好的后果,比如致病。緊接著最后一句算是總結(jié)句:我們要找到一種合適的方式表達(dá),像孩子那樣。重點在哪里?整段不離的中心意思,重復(fù)的出現(xiàn)那就是情感的表達(dá)嘍。選項為 C
43. A 一句話出現(xiàn)在第二句。問句之后,如果我們能夠“愚蠢“那么一點點,我們將會有各種好處,對不對。那么這一段幾乎大段的篇幅都花在這一句上了,主旨更加明顯那就是:去這樣做吧。Be silly.
44.B 這一段講到成人的世界里的確有太多讓人煩惱的東西,But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love 享受自己喜歡的東西也是很重要的。接下來舉例子,各種具體事例說明那些我們可以做的可以享受的事情,并且最后說出了他們的好處。從前往后一直再說我們應(yīng)該放松,享受。所以啊,在剩下的可選擇的選項中只有have funs比較合適了。
I’m writing to express my gratitude for your congratulation on my success in the translation contest.
As regard to my experience, I would like to offer you some proposals in this part. First and foremost, I strongly suggest you that you need to practice with painstaking effort in this field. What’s more, you had better have more communication with foreigners, which guarantees that you have a deep understanding of foreign culture. Last but not least, you are supposed to participate in some international events to accumulate a wealth of practical experience.
Thanks again and I do hope you could take my suggestions into consideration. I wish you have good luck and make a great success in your future study.
As is clearly reflected in the above pie chart, the purpose of students travelling abroad demonstrates obvious differences in one college of China. According to the data given, the purpose of enjoying the beautiful landscape takes a comparatively large share, accounting for 37%, while that of relieving pressure also takes away 20% of the whole proportion.
What triggers this phenomenon? It is not difficult to put forward several factors responsible for this phenomenon. To start with, with the rapid economic development of economy, people, including college students, are becoming increasingly wealthy, which enables them to afford the once-deemed- expensive oversea traveling. In order to enjoy the charming landscape all around the world, a large proportion of students choose to travel abroad.
What’s more, along with the ever-accelerating improvement of economy and society is also the ever-increasing work and life pressure. Consequently, the purpose of relieving pressure ranks the second among all the purposes for folks to travel around the world.
In view of the arguments above, we can conclude that the current phenomenon is of no surprise. And therefore, it can be predicted that admiring the scenery and alleviating pressure will still be the main purpose for people to arrange a traveling to other countries.
