大学英语四级考试翻译解析
大学英语四级考试翻译解析强调句1．It is/was +被强调部分+that/who…对于这个结构，需要注意以下几点：①强调句型中的系动词除is和was之外，没有其他形式的变化;②被强调部分如果是人，可以用who, 也可以用that,其他情况用that（常识性知识，一般不能作为考点）。
③在not…until句型里，如果强调由until所引导的时间状语时，not须跟在until之前，即构成It is not until…that结构。
It is because she is too inexperienced that she does not know how to deal with the serious situation.她不知道如何应对这种严重情况是因为她太缺乏经验了。
It is because the water had risen that they could not cross the river.正是因为水涨了，他们没有渡过河去。
注：强调的如果是原因状语从句，只能由because引导，不能由since, as或why引导。
It was not until the second year that he has adapted himself to the college life.直到第二年他才适应了大学生活。
真题重现【CET-6：2007.1】______________(直到截止日他才寄出) his application form.参考答案：It was not until the deadline that he sent (out)倒装句1．当“only+状语”位于句首表示强调时用倒装，如不在句首或虽在句首但不修辞状语时用正常语序。

Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423—among the top 2% in the country —on Newsweek‟s annual ranking of America‟s top high schools.

A A Hillsdale Hillsdale teacher teacher teacher who who who became became became principal principal principal last last last year, year, year, remembers sitting remembers sitting with with other other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, “How did that student graduate?”So So in in in 2003 2003 2003 Hillsdale Hillsdale Hillsdale remade remade remade itself itself itself into into into three three three “houses,” “houses,” “houses,” romantically romantically named named Florence, Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of “advisory” classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply deeply invested in the students‟ success.“We‟re constantly talking about one another‟s advisers,” invested in the students‟ success.“We‟re constantly talking about one another‟s advisers,” says English teacher Chris Crockett. “If you hear that yours isn‟t doing well in math, or see them sitt sitting outside the dean‟s office, it‟s like a personal failure.” Along with the new structure came a ing outside the dean‟s office, it‟s like a personal failure.” Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95.“It was rough for some. But by senior year, two -thirds have mo v ed up to physics,” says Gilbert ved up to physics,” says Gilbert “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.”But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution. The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism fo r its simplicity. B ut that is also its strength: it‟s easy for But that is also its strength: it‟s easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they‟d like.Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five sta states wrote to tes wrote to ask ask that that that their their their schools schools schools be be be excluded excluded excluded from from from the calculation.“It the calculation.“It is impossible impossible to to to know which know which high high schools schools schools are are are …the …the best‟ in in the the the nation, nation, nation, ”their ”their ”their letter letter letter read. read. read. in in in part. part. “Determining “Determining whether whether whether different schools different schools do do or or or don‟t don‟t offer offer a a a high high high quality quality quality of of of educatio educatio education n n requires requires requires a a look at man different measures, including students‟ overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent subsequent performance performance performance in in in college. college. college.

There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers.

Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First. Let's talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the "meeting" influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer "see you there at 8", but "text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are".Texting changes people as well. In their paper, "insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the "talkers" and the "texters"-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the "speakeasy": the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the "spacemaker": these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people's privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn't worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.81 when people plan to meet nowadays, theyA: arrange the meeting place beforehandB. postpone fixing the place till last minuteC: seldom care about when and where to meetD: still love to work out detailed meeting plans.82 According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen onA: TALKERSB; the "speakeasy"c. the "spacemaker"D. texters83 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters areA: quite revealingB: well writtenc: unacceptable by othersd; shocking to others84 according to the passage ,who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobilea: talkersb: the speakeasyc :the spacemakerd: texters85 an appropriate title for the passage might beA: the SMS effectb: cultural implication of mobile usec: change in the use of the mobiled: body language and the mobile phone!TEXT BOver the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class-whether a person is "working-class" or "middle-class"-are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers' jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity （or the education and training）to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid （whatever the type of job they may have）and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge,or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?A: life style and occupationB: Attitude and incomeC: income and job securityD: job security and hobbies87 the writer seems to suggest that the description of —— is closer to truth?A: middle -class ways of spending moneyB: working-class ways of spending the weekendC: working-class drinking habitsD: middle-class attitudes88 according to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle -class?A: desiring for securityB: Making long term plansC: having priorities in lifeD: saving money89 working -class people's sense of security increased as a resulf of all the follwoing factor except?A: better social securityB: more job opportunitiesC: higher living standardD: better legal protection.90 Which of the following statement is incorrect?A: Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.B: The gap between working -class and middle- class young people is narrowingC: different in income will remain but those in occupation will disappearD: middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class people!TEXT CFor several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighourhood called and some times stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, "do you think I'm handsome, Miss Eyre?"The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: 'No, sir.""ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.""Sir, I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that,""no, you shouldn't! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awaful faults to counterbalance your few good pointsI thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly," yes, you're right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn't my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you're sympathetic and give them hope."It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time."Don't be afraid of me, Miss Eyre." He continued. " you don't relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night."91:at the beginning miss Eyre 's impressions of Mr. Rochester were all exceptA: busyB: sociableC: friendlyD: changeable92, in "……and all my knowledge him was limited to occasional meetings about the house,…".the word about meansA: aroundB: onC: outsideD: concerning.93. why did Mr. Rochester say" ……and the you stab me in the back!" the （7thpara.A: because Jane had intended to kill him with a knifeB: because Jane had intended to be more critical.C: because Jane had regretted having talked to himD: because Jane had said something else to correct herself.94, from what Mr. Rochest told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted toA: Tell her all his troublesB: tell her his life experience.C: change her opinion of himD change his circumstances95, at the end of the passage , Mr. Rochester soundedA: rudeB: coldC: friendlyD: encouraging.TEXTDThe ideal companion machine-the computer- would not only look, feel, and sound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine would not be a passive participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinions; it would sometimes take the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to know another. At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulates attachment and intimacy. The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a wealth of powerful, well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user's life as revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and good-humored. The computer's own personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user. With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.96. Which of the following is not a feature of the ideal companion machine?A: Active in communicationB: Attractive in personality.C: enjoyable in performanceD: unpredictable in behaviour97. The computer would develop friendships with humans in a （n）——way.A: QuickB: unpredictableC: productiveD: inconspicuous.98. Which of the following aspects is not mentioned when the passage discusses the benefits of artificial relationships?A: Being able to pick up an interesting conversation.B: Being sensitive to earlier contact.C: Being ready to learn about the person's lifeD: Having a pleasant and adaptable personality.99 Throughout the passage, the author is _____in his attitude toward the computerA: favorableB: criticalC: vagueD: hesitant100. Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage?A: Articial relationships .B: How to form intimate relationshipsC: The affectionate machineD: Humans and computersPART ⅥWRITINGSection A CompositionRecently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700 students in Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, and Shenyang .

Imagine a book that never rend, a library with million floors, or imagine a research project with thousands ofscientists working around the clock forever. This is the magic of the internet.As the internet has potential for good or bad, one can find where organized information of websites. At the same time, one can also find waste for websites. Most websites are known as different internet of applications. These include online games, check rooms and so on. These applications have great power, too. Sometimes, the power can be so great. That young people may easily become victims to their attraction. So we need to recognize the seriousness of the problem. We must work together to use its power for better rents.PART ⅢCLOZE31.

Millions of us get up each morning already wear y over the day holds. “I just can’t get started,” p eople say. But it’s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.What you’re seeking is not physical energy. It’s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say, life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations. We encounter emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotionalfatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child, I observed people who were poor, or disabled, or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor. Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body, wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed.Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has no thing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can’t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.1. Do something new.Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of thi s sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire with a slow leak. You don’t notice it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. It’s up to you to plug the leak—even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your d ull routines of life. That’s where Maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago.Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline—a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.2. Reclaim life’s meaning.So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale.The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something,” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.3. Put yourself in the fun zone.Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,” she says. “It’s a challenge—and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.”We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly.4. Bid farewell to guilt and regret.Everyone’s pa st is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.5. Make up your mind.Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish—or too extreme?You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain.Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.6. Give to get.Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality; the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it.Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to know, then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you’re sucki ng energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person—and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage (按摩) to someone you love, or cook her dinner. Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient.After all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well. First. Let‘s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line fixed-line phone, phone, phone, is is is that that that a a a mobile mobile mobile number number number corresponds corresponds corresponds to to to a a a person, person, person, while while while a a a landline landline landline goes goes goes to to to a a place.If place.If you you you call call call my my my mobile, mobile, mobile, you you you get get get me. me. me. If If If you you you call call call my my my fixed-line fixed-line fixed-line phone, phone, phone, you you you get get get whoever whoever answers it. This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the ―meetingǁ influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting meeting place. place. place.

Texters Texters Texters were were were likely likely likely to to to report report report that that that their their their family family family would would would be be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well. Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the ―speakeasyǁ: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the ―spacemakerǁ: thes e people focus on themselves and keep out other people. Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people‘s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn‘t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk. 81 when people plan to meet nowadays, they A: arrange the meeting place beforehand B. postpone fixing the place till last minute C: seldom care about when and where to meet D: still love to work out detailed meeting plans. 82 According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen on A: TALKERS B; the "speakeasy" c. the ―spacemakerǁD. texters 83 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are A: quite revealing B: well written c: unacceptable by others d; shocking to others 84 according to the passage ,who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile a: talkers b: the speakeasy c :the spacemaker d: texters 85 an appropriate title for the passage might be A: the SMS effect b: cultural implication of mobile use c: change in the use of the mobile d: body language and the mobile phone! TEXT B Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned.

Working Working-class -class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.

There seems to be much less difference than in previous generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups. 86, which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?

TEXT C For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighourhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal. During During this this this time, time, time, all all all my my my knowledge knowledge knowledge of of of him him him was was was limited limited limited to to to occasional occasional occasional meetings meetings meetings about about about the the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them. One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, ―do you think I‘m handsome, Miss Eyre?ǁThe answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: ‗No, sir.ǁ“Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.ǁ“Sir, I‘m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn‘t matter, or something like that,ǁ“N o, you shouldn‘t!

Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.ǁI thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly,“Y es, you‘re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different.I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn‘t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you‘re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you‘re sympathetic and give them hope.ǁIt seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn‘t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time. “Don‘t Don‘t be afraid be afraid of me, me, Miss Miss Miss Eyre.ǁ Eyre.ǁ Eyre.ǁ He He He continued. continued. continued. ― you ― you don‘t don‘t relax or relax or laugh laugh very very very much, much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you.

2006-2012四级真题翻译答案及详细解析2006至2012年四级翻译答案2006年12月1.adapt oneself to life// adapt oneself to living in different cultures【解析】考查短语adapt oneself to sth. /to doing sth.2.nothing is more attractive to me than reading 【解析】考查比较级3.would have a chance to survive// would have a chance of survival【解析】考查与过去事实相反的虚拟语气4. might feel lonely when they are far from home//whey they are not in their hometown/ when they are traveling.【解析】考查情态动词。
5. at a speed/rate of 12 million per year / /at an annual speed of 12 million.【解析】考查短语at a speed of2007年6月1.consider the quality of human's sleep【解析】从词汇角度考察的是固定搭配take … into account/take…into consideration；语法的角度来看，考察的是fail之后的非谓语动词形式的选择 (fail to do)。
Fail to do 和take…into account 均为四级老题型词汇与结构单选题反复考察的重点，因此，如果考生能够在冲刺阶段以四级老题型为参考，进行有重点的复习巩固，相信会顺利拿下这一题。
2.one field of our cooperation【解析】汉语部分为“的”字连结的定语和修饰语组合，因此很明显考察的是定于从句。
题目中的语法难点在于，“合作”和“领域”之间有一个汉语原文没有出现，但是英文表达中不可或缺的介词－in。
因此，在这个定语从句中，先行词field(领域)出现之后，在定于从句的关系代词前必须有介词in,而考前反复强调的介词之后关系代词不可用that,只能用which的知识点，这一完形填空传统考点被迁移并应用到了汉译英中。
3.decided/decides to quit the match【解析】汉语部分看似不易找到合适的译文，实际上考察的是固定搭配quit sth.如果考生在复习中注意到在听力段对话中经常出现的quit一词，如 quit the class, quit the job等，就可以从中获得启发，写出quit the match这一表达。
本题着眼于考察考生灵活应用动词固定搭配的能力。
本题的语法考点是从汉译英首次考察以来每次必考的一个基础语法考点——谓语动词形式。
因为主语为单数形式 the athlete, 谓语“决定”只能选择第三人称单数或者过去时decided 。
谓语动词的数和时态之所以反复考察，就是因为考生很容易忽视这种基础语法问题，在考试这种高度紧张的状态下，十分容易顾此失彼，出现令人遗憾的stupid mistakes4.contact us at the following address【解析】题语法考点是大多数考生比较熟悉的祈使句，今年的考题首次放弃了建议句型，转而考察同样要使用动词原型而难度相对降低的祈使句句型，估计是因为本题的词汇用法考点不易得分。
本题重点考察固定用法con tact sb. at … address。
5.at your convenience【解析】考察的也是不太常用的固定用法at your convenience。
本次考试的最后两题，都明显侧重于实际交际中的英语常用表达掌握，语言的本质是交流的工具，90和91题显示，四级新题型的指导思想越来越明显地表现出对这一宗旨的强调。
2007年12月1．Thanks to/Owing to series of new inventions 【解析】此句翻译的关键是“多亏了”这个短语，翻译成thanks to 或owing to 要比because of 或due to 好得多。
I feel/get tired more easily than before【解析】此句中翻译比较结构不是难点，比较级more ….than , 大家应该都能翻，但是如果把这句简单翻译成 I feel more easily tired 得分应该不会太高。
2.no matter what sacrifice I am going to make/ /whatever sacrifice I will make/ /no matter how much I would sacrifice【解析】此句的难点在于“无论”的翻译，no matter whatever 是重点。
