26. John is the (clever) student I have ever taught.

【答案】 cleverest

【解析】该题是语法结构题。考点是形容词/副词的级。答案的根据是the (clever) student

I have ever taught中，形容词clever前有定冠词the，而定语从句I have ever taught限定了一

个范围，提示此处用形容词的最高级。因此，形容词clever加后缀-est构成最高级cleverest。比较

级、最高级的构成：单音节词及部分双音节词加后缀-er构成比较级，加-est构成最高级；部分双音

节和多音节形容词在原级前面加单词more构成比较级,加most构成最高级。

词后缀-ive构成形容词effective。

28. Sixty people (employ) in this big factory last year.

【答案】were employed

【解析】该题是语法结构题。考点是谓语动词的语态、时态。答案的根据是employ是一个及物动词，

were employed。

【译文】去年这家大工厂聘用了60名工人。

29. It is difficult for a (foreign) to learn Chinese.

【答案】foreigner

【解析】该题是词性转换题。考点是形容词foreign的名词形式。答案的根据是for a (foreign) to learn Chinese中，a是冠词，要求后接名词，此外，此结构的意思提示这个名词是表示人的名词。

故，foreign加后缀-er构成名词foreigner。

【译文】对外国人来说，学习中文很难。

【答案】are

31. When Jenny came to Britain, she had to get used to (drive) on the left.

【答案】driving

【解析】该题是语法结构题。考点是get used to + n./V-ing。答案的根据是此处的to是介词，要

to等。

32. She is well-known for her excellent (achieve) in her career.

【答案】achievement

【解析】该题是词性转换题。考点是动词achieve的名词形式。答案的根据是for her excellent (achieve)

______ in her career中，for是介词，要求后接名词，可是her 和excellent都是形容词，这提

示此处需要一个名词。因此，动词achieve加名词后缀-ment构成名词achievement。

【译文】她由于事业上的杰出成就而非常有名。

33. The chairman required that every speaker (limit) himself to fifteen minutes.

【答案】(should)limit

【解析】该题是语法结构题。考点是虚拟语气。答案的根据是动词require要求宾语从句用原形虚拟。

因此，正确答案是(should)limit。原形虚拟：表示愿望、请求、建议、命令等意义的动词作谓语引导

宾语从句时，从句谓语形式用(should ＋) V。常见动词有：demand，insist，command，request，order，propose，desire，require，recommend，ask，prefer，advise，decide等。

【译文】主席要求每个人把发言限制在15分钟之内。

34. He is (confidence) even though he has failed several times.

【答案】confident

【解析】该题是词性转换题。考点是名词confidence的形容词形式。答案的根据是He is (confidence) ____ 中，be要求后接形容词，而confidence是名词。因此，需将confident的-ce该成-t，使之由

名词转换成形容词。相同变化规律的词：difference/different, convenience/convenient, importance/important等。

【译文】即使失败了好几次，他依然有信心。

35. No student is supposed (spend) so much money in school in a week.

【答案】to have spent

【解析】该题是语法结构题。考点是动词不定式的时态。答案的根据是分析非谓语动词spend与谓语 is supposed 发生的时间。be supposed to do sth.的意思是“应当……”，此外，该句子带有责备之意

该，这提示不定式的动作先于谓语动词的动作，要求用不定式的完成式to have V-ed2。因此，正确

答案是to have spent。动词不定式的时态：

【译文】没有一个学生应该在一周内花这么多钱。

Part III Reading Comprehension

①People today are still talking about the generation gap (代沟). Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all.

②What has gone wrong? Why-has the generation gap appeared?

③One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents like, and often to continue the family occupation.

④Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.

⑤Finally, the high speed of social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight (隔夜).

C)这件事情得由你父亲决定而不是你来决定。

D)这并不是为你而是为你的父亲才这样决定的。

【答案】 C- B-D- A

【解析】本题的翻译要点是 rather...than（而不是）和 for sb. to do sth.(某人做某事)。for your father to decide 意思是“由你父亲决定”。选项A）将for your father to decide这个表示动作的动词不定式翻译成了名词词组，不精确；选项B）把for your father to decide翻译成了“取决于你父亲的决定”，不准确，而且译文中出现“不该”，原文并无此意；选项D）将for your father to decide错误地翻译成了“为你的父亲决定”。

速记与打字shorthand and typing

【分析】求职信与普通信件一样通常由下列部分构成：信头、信内地址、称呼、信的正文、结束语、签名和附件。其格式也与普通信件相同。求职者需通过求职信来推销自己，因此求职信写得好与差，在很大程度上决定了求职者是否获得所期望的职位。好的求职信一般包含下面几个方面：

1．写信的目的。（通常包括希望应聘的职位及获得招聘消息的方式）

2．资历。（要突出对于招聘单位自己的价值所在，但要客观地陈述，不能夸大其词。）

3．请求招聘单位给予面试的机会。

4．联系方式。（一般包括邮政地址、电话号码等。）

【注意事项】

1．在求职信中最好不要提及薪金要求。

2．信中不能要求招聘单位为自己今后事业的发展作出承诺，而是应该强调要凭自己的能力使招聘单位受益。

3．信件写完之后认真检查是否有语法错误和拼写错误。
