The Ostrich The ostrich, the largest bird in
the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts.
Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it
is able to run at great speed over considerable distances. The female ostrich
normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich
begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes
off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of
them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her
own nest. Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than

1. There is not much time left; so I’ll tell you about it______.
A.in detail
B.in brief
C.in short
D.in all
正确答案:B
解析:本题考查介词短语辨析。not much time left(剩下的时间不多)提示,“告诉事情”应是“简短地说,节省时间地说”,故in brief(简言之,简单地说)为答案。in detail意为“详细地”。in short意为“总之,简言之”,用于对前面所详细论述内容进行简明扼要的总结。in all意为“总共,合计”,这均不符合语义,故均排除。
2. For those who admire realism, Louis Malle’s recent film succeeds because it
consciously shuns the stuff of legend and tells______story as it might actually unfold
with fallible people in earthly time.
A.a derivative
B.an antiquated
C.an unembellished
D.an ethereal
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查形容词辨析。根据空前的admire realism(欣赏现实主义)和shuns the stuff of legend(刻意避开坊间传奇的那些事儿)判断,空格处应填与realism相近、与legend相反含义的词,故答案为unembellished(未装饰的,未修饰的)。derivative意为“模仿他人的,缺乏创意的”;antiquated意为“过时的,陈旧的,老式的”;ethereal意为“缥缈的,超凡的”。这三项均不符合语义,故排除。

and with great______.
A.care
B.ease
C.tempo
D.dignity
正确答案:B
解析:本题考查名词辨析。you can do it well意为“你会做好它”,with
great______ 与此并列,意义上应该与此接近。with great care意为“小心翼翼地”。with great ease意为“轻而易举地”,符合题意,故答案为[B]项。with great tempo意为“以极大的速度”;with great dignity意为“威风凛凛”。如果填入care,tempo或dignity,与you can do it well的语义不符,故均排除。
2. She______to find new stories about her homeland, making sure her
American-born daughter did not grow up ignorant of Chinese culture.
A.dropped out
B.went out of her way
C.gave way
D.got down
正确答案:B
解析:本题考查动词短语辨析。drop out意为“离开,退出”。go out of one’s
way意为“不怕麻烦;特地”。give way意为“撤退;让路;退让;垮掉”。get down意为“沮丧;落下;吞下;写下”。本句意为:为了保证她在美国出生的女儿长大后不会对中国文化很生疏,她______找寻有关祖国的新鲜事。明显,在这里主要强调的是主语为做某事而付出的努力,因此[B]项最为符合题意,为答案。

题型有:1.3 billion, which will create a huge market for this new industry.
正确答案: 在上班时间去厕所一度是偷懒的一种办法,然而一切即将改变。 有数据显示,英国人每天平均查阅移动设备34次。一旦空下来,人们就会无节制地使用手机。热衷于充分利用员工这一习惯的精明老板如今给职员们提供特定任务的应用软件,以便他们能随时随地工作。此举就以提供所谓的生产力“微瞬间”(micro-moments)的方式,催生了一种全新的工作方式。 这是更大趋势的一部分,而这个趋势是随着企业应用软件的兴起而发展起来的。这些应用软件,即智能手机中与工作相关的应用程序,已经改变了我们私生活的方式。据报道,明年移动工作者的数量将超过13亿,这将为这一新兴产业创造巨大市场。
解析: 1.第一段由两个分句组成。分句间由分号相隔,但根据上下文可知,它们之间明显包含转折之意,故建议增译“然而”、“但是”这类表转折的连接词。另外,为了使表达更地道,翻译时某些词语需好好斟酌。比如,visit the
toilet不能简单直译为“拜访厕所”,译成“上(去)厕所”即可;avoid doing work译为“避开工作”显得生硬,建议可译成“偷懒”。 2.第二段第二句是个结构复杂的长句,翻译的关键是理清句子的结构关系。该句主句的主干为Clever
employers are now providing employees with task-specific apps。主语employer有两个修饰成分:Clever和keen to make...anything to do,第二个修饰语很长,若将它全部套在“老板”前面作定语,会导致译文头重脚轻和表意不清。此处建议拆分第二个修饰语,将obsessively tapping...anything to do独立成句,译作“一旦空下来,人们就会无节制地使用手机”,剩余部分则译作另一句,并用“这一习惯”指代上句所述行为,即译为“热衷于充分利用员工这一习惯的精明老板如今给职员们提供……”。此外,句末修饰apps的定语从句在翻译时,可将其转译成状语,如译作“以便他们能随时随地工作”,如此可避免出现apps“应用软件”的修饰语过长的情况,从而符合汉语多用短句的习惯,层次分明,易于理解。 知识模块:翻译

1. Even though he was guilty, the______judge did not send him to prison.
A.merciful
B.impartial
C.conscientious
D.conspicuous
正确答案:A
解析:本题考查形容词辨析。让步状语从句中的guilty(有罪的)和主句的意思(法官没有把他送进监狱)表明,该法官是一个“仁慈的”人,故merciful(仁慈的,宽厚的)为答案。impartial意为“公正的,不偏不倚的”;conscientious意为“认真的,勤勤恳恳的”;conspicuous意为“显眼的,明显的”,均与让步状语从句的意思不符,故均排除。
2. The education______for the coming year is about $ 4 billion, which is much
more than what people expected.
A.allowance
B.reservation
C.budget
D.finance
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查名词辨析。根据句意“来年的教育______约为40亿美元,这远远超出人们的预期”可知,横线处应填和“钱”有关的词,可首先排除reservation(预订;保留)。allowance意为“(定期发给的)津贴,补助”,不符合$4
billion(40亿美元)的语义,故排除。根据空后的the coming year(来年)可确定,本题答案为budget(预算,预算拨款)。finance(财政,金融)是指管理货币、债务、信贷和投资的商业或政府活动,也与语义不符,故排除。

A.sleep for
B.sleep off
C.sleep on
D.sleep out of
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查动词短语辨析。sleep on it为固定搭配,意为”(把重要的事)留待第二天决定”,故答案为[C]项。sleep off意为“用睡眠消除(旅途劳顿、暴饮暴食等行为引起的不适)”。没有sleep for和sleep out of的用法。
2. In the ______of the hurricane, many people’s homes were destroyed.
A.result
B.aftermath
C.consequence
D.upshot
正确答案:B
解析:本题考查名词的词义辨析。result意为“结果,效果”,为普通用词,含义广泛,侧重因某种原因所产生的最终结果,而不是眼前的结果。aftermath意为“后果,余波”,尤指灾难或不幸事件的后果,符合空后的hurricane…homes
were destroyed的语义,故为答案。consequence意为“结果,后果”,多指某一事件引起的必然或自然的结果,不强调直接的因果关系,而侧重事件发展的逻辑关系。upshot意为“最终结果,结局”,是一种决定性结果。

company______.
A.on his account

A.articulate
B.anticipate

sth.(in sth.)。monitor意为“监控,监视,监听”。句意为:医生预计他不会活很长时间。
