Indian summer is a short period of extremely fair weather and mild days in autumn. It comes in late October or early November while the leaves are changing color and falling from the trees. It has no definite day of beginning or ending.The pleasant weather follows the autumn’s first period of cold, wintry days. The days become warmer but the nights remain chilly. An Indian summer moon often has a soft yellow or orange hue. Indian summer lasts from a week to ten days and sometimes for two weeks. Then winter starts. Indian summer is caused by a large mass of warm tropical air. South winds carry these masses northward. The American Indian enjoyed Indian summer and called it a gift of a favorite God, Cautantowwit, the god of the southwest.

I’m Mr. Britain, the head librarian, and today I’d like to introduce you to the facilities in our university library and show you how to use them. The first room on our tour is the reference room, where you’ll find all sorts of reference materials: dictionaries, bibliographies, literature guides, even telephone books. You may use these books only in the reference room itself. The next room is the periodicals room, where you’ll find various newspapers, magazines and academic journals. The current issues are usually directly available to you on the shelves. And you can get an older issue by filling out a slip for the librarian. These items must also be used in this room. This next room contains the card catalogs. All the library’s books are listed here by title, by author and by topic. When you are looking for a book you must write the book’s call number, title and author on these slips and present them with your library card at the desk. The books themselves are kept in the stacks, which are open only to graduate students, faculty members and library staff. Our library has over a million volumes in these stacks which cover five floors. If you have any further questions about using the library, I’d be glad to help you after the tour. Thank you for your attention.
Questions 28 to 30 are based on the passage you’ve just heard:
28. What is the main topic of this talk?
29. Who is probably listening to Mr. Britain?
30. Which people are usually not allowed to use the stacks?
Today I’m going to discuss transportation and communication in the earty 19th century in the United States. At that time, inland waterways provided North America’s most popular form of long distance transportation. Travel by river was often more convenient than taking a wagon over primitive country roads, especially when shipping heavy loads of farm products or household goods. Where the natural waterways were inadequate, shallow canals were built. The Erie Canal, opened in 1825, connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River. It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City at the mouth of the Hudson at a much lower cost. From there, crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports. The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier. The City of Detroit grew up between two of the Great Lakes. Later a canal joined the Great Lakes with the Mississippi river system and Chicago became a thriving city. Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possible.
By the mid—1800’s faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined. Railroads could be used year round whereas canals were often frozen in the winter. During the first third of the century, however, transportation on rivers, lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States. Next week we’ll discuss the railroads in greater detail.
Questions 31 to 34 are based on the passage you’ve just heard:
31. What is the main idea of this lecture?
32. When was inland waterway travel most popular?
33. What was usually transported from west to east?
34.What was NOT a result of the inland water system in the United States?

11.答案A。
【試題分析】本題考查對(duì)文中詞匯的理解。
【關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)】overslept,missed the bus

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
短文大意
在小學(xué),孩子處在一個(gè)相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單的環(huán)境里,大部分時(shí)間與一位熟悉的老師打交道。而到了中學(xué),學(xué)生們面臨著一個(gè)較為復(fù)雜的環(huán)境,學(xué)生和老師都承受著學(xué)業(yè)上的壓力,孩子們的言行舉止更是與小學(xué)不同,他們需要作出自己的判斷。因此,學(xué)校希望學(xué)生們能夠獲得所需要的幫助去走好第一步,因?yàn)檫@是成年人世界的模式,只不過(guò)是沒(méi)那么復(fù)雜而已。
35.答案A。
【參考譯文】 根據(jù)短文,進(jìn)入中學(xué)的學(xué)生們遇到的問(wèn)題之一是許多老師給他們上課。
【試題分析】 本題測(cè)試的是對(duì)文章細(xì)節(jié)部分的理解。
【詳細(xì)解答】 文章在一開(kāi)始就指出,在小學(xué),孩子們大部分時(shí)間與一位熟悉的老師建立關(guān)系(... and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher.),言下之意是到了中學(xué)就有所區(qū)別了。隨后文章又提到Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff.可見(jiàn),老師比較多,學(xué)生們無(wú)法和他們每個(gè)人打交道,選項(xiàng)A符合題目的要求,是本題的正確答案。
36.答案D。
【參考譯文】 在中學(xué),每一個(gè)有問(wèn)題的學(xué)生應(yīng)該能夠和任何一位老師探討他的問(wèn)題。
【試題分析】 本題是道句意理解推論題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 本題的答案無(wú)法在文章中直接找到,但是可以根據(jù)第一段最后一句話進(jìn)行分析推斷。最后一句說(shuō):... good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available—but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.學(xué)校承諾可以提供幫助,而實(shí)際上對(duì)是否是這樣要提出疑問(wèn),那就說(shuō)明在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中并非如此。由此可見(jiàn),本題的正確答案應(yīng)該是D。
37.答案D。
【參考譯文】 在本篇關(guān)于中學(xué)的文章中,作者主要關(guān)心的是學(xué)生的個(gè)人發(fā)展。
【試題分析】 本題是道分析推斷題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 文章在第一段中就提到進(jìn)入中學(xué),學(xué)生們很快就知道了不能對(duì)老師隨便亂說(shuō)話,即使對(duì)他們的同學(xué)也不能(The pupils soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils.)。在最后一段中有這么一句話:He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people—often rather frighteninglooking people—and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made.從這里也可以看到學(xué)生們所面臨的處境,而這些都影響著學(xué)生們個(gè)人的發(fā)展,因此D應(yīng)該是本題的最佳選項(xiàng)。
38.答案B。
【參考譯文】 下列敘述中正確的是哪一項(xiàng)?
【試題分析】 本題測(cè)試的是對(duì)文章細(xì)節(jié)部分進(jìn)行辨析的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 文章的第一句話就說(shuō)到在小學(xué),孩子處在一個(gè)相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單的環(huán)境里(In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting ...),文章大部分談?wù)摰挠质侵袑W(xué)的情況,由此可以判斷出第一句話中所說(shuō)的相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單是與中學(xué)相比較而言的,因此在所給四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中符合題意的是B項(xiàng)“小學(xué)的環(huán)境相對(duì)于中學(xué)的環(huán)境要簡(jiǎn)單一些”。
39.答案C。
【參考譯文】 本篇短文主要討論的是什么?
【試題分析】 本題是道歸納中心思想的題目。
【詳細(xì)解答】 雖然文章中提到了中學(xué)和小學(xué)的不同之處,但是這畢竟只是局部問(wèn)題,不是文章所談?wù)摰闹行模虼俗罹吒蓴_性的A項(xiàng)不是本題的答案。B和D所述明顯與文章不符,所以都要舍去。只有C項(xiàng)“中學(xué)學(xué)生個(gè)人發(fā)展問(wèn)題”與文章大意相符,是本題的最佳選項(xiàng)。
短文大意
每星期刊出的成千上萬(wàn)的廣告不斷反映了這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)社會(huì)經(jīng)歷的社會(huì)變革,即使是登婚姻廣告也不覺(jué)得尷尬,一改傳統(tǒng)的婚姻習(xí)俗。
40.答案A。
【參考譯文】 第三段的主要意思是印度的社會(huì)正在改變。
【試題分析】 本題是道邏輯分析推理題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 本段的主題句在第二句:The thousands of advertisements published each week increasingly reflect social changes that are coming to this traditional society.(每個(gè)星期刊出的成千上萬(wàn)的廣告不斷反應(yīng)了這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)社會(huì)經(jīng)歷的社會(huì)變革)。根據(jù)此主題句就不難找出本題的最佳選項(xiàng)應(yīng)為A項(xiàng)。
41.答案A。
【參考譯文】 盡管并未直接說(shuō),凱爾卡特市的商人可能同意在報(bào)紙上刊登婚姻廣告是個(gè)好主意。
【試題分析】 本題測(cè)試的是對(duì)文章句意的理解。
【詳細(xì)解答】 凱爾卡特市的商人雖然未直接發(fā)表觀點(diǎn),但是他說(shuō)“There’s nothing embarrassing about it.”(這樣做沒(méi)什么尷尬的)而且他是在登廣告找女婿時(shí)說(shuō)這句話的,因此句中的it指代的是advertising for a soninlaw.同時(shí)他認(rèn)為登廣告“It’s just another way of broadening the contacts and increasing the possibility of doing the best one can for one’s daughter.”(這是拓寬接觸面的又一種方法,同時(shí)增加了為其女兒選擇最合適人選的可能性。)同樣這句話中的it仍然指的是advertising for a soninlaw.通過(guò)這樣簡(jiǎn)單的分析,我們不難推斷出本題的最佳答案應(yīng)該是A項(xiàng)在報(bào)紙上登征婚廣告是一個(gè)好主意。
42.答案C。
【參考譯文】 在A person who has one can get what he wants中one指的是定居海外的批文。
【試題分析】 本題測(cè)試的是根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)詞義的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 這句話出現(xiàn)在文章的第九段。one在這里很明顯不可能是指人,只可能是指事,指的是前文所提之事:由于高失業(yè)率和貧窮的生活標(biāo)準(zhǔn),征婚廣告的最大魅力之一就在于獲得移居國(guó)外的批文,特別是到加拿大和美國(guó)。(... one of the best attractions a marriage advertisement can offer is a permit to live abroad, especially in Canada or the United States.)因此one指的是a permit to live abroad.C項(xiàng)是本題的正確答案。
43.答案C。
【參考譯文】 第十段給出了一個(gè)擁有移民批文的人能夠要求并希望得到的地位。
【試題分析】 本題測(cè)試的是對(duì)文章細(xì)節(jié)部分的理解。
【詳細(xì)解答】 文章第十段所舉事例是為了說(shuō)明前文所說(shuō)的:A person who has one can get what he wants.(一個(gè)人若擁有移居國(guó)外的批文就能得到他想要的)。在婚姻上也是如此,只要有這個(gè)批文,不論自己如何,他就可以任意選擇自己的新娘,因此本題的最佳答案應(yīng)該是C。
44.答案B。
【參考譯文】 本文的最佳題目是印度的婚俗在改變。
【試題分析】 本題測(cè)試的是綜合歸納概括的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 本文主要講述的是印度一改傳統(tǒng)婚姻習(xí)俗,通過(guò)廣告來(lái)尋找結(jié)婚對(duì)象,因此本題的最佳選項(xiàng)應(yīng)為B項(xiàng)而非其他。
短文大意
[FK(H040B0001#]一位著名的神經(jīng)學(xué)家指出,人類語(yǔ)言積累發(fā)展的過(guò)程是根據(jù)腦內(nèi)的生物時(shí)間表來(lái)進(jìn)行的。母語(yǔ)的學(xué)習(xí)是在孩子開(kāi)始處于“共鳴”狀態(tài)的時(shí)候進(jìn)行的,大約是從2歲到青春期開(kāi)始為止。臨床證明,腦部受到損傷的兩三歲孩子可能會(huì)失去全部或者部分記憶,但是還能夠重新開(kāi)始學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言,而且進(jìn)步比以前要快。4至10歲間患有失語(yǔ)癥的通?梢酝耆謴(fù)。但是青春期患上失語(yǔ)癥的人很少能夠完全恢復(fù),18歲以后患失語(yǔ)癥的人能夠恢復(fù)就是一種例外了。另外還發(fā)現(xiàn)語(yǔ)言多邊化的過(guò)程,絕大部分語(yǔ)言知識(shí)轉(zhuǎn)向左腦的進(jìn)程都是遠(yuǎn)不到青春期就已經(jīng)完成了,而且若控制語(yǔ)言的半球受到損傷,5歲以后將語(yǔ)言功能轉(zhuǎn)向小腦的能力就會(huì)消失了。
45.答案A。
【參考譯文】 如果孩子患有失語(yǔ)癥的話,在青春期開(kāi)始之前能夠完全恢復(fù)。
【試題分析】 本題測(cè)試的是對(duì)文章句意的理解。
【詳細(xì)解答】 本題答案的根據(jù)在文章的第一段。文中說(shuō)到:When children suffer aphasia between four and ten and begin learning language again, recovery is usually complete, even if requiring several years.而4至10歲正是屬于青春期之前,所以本題的正確答案應(yīng)該是A項(xiàng)。
46.答案C。
【參考譯文】 下列敘述正確的是哪一項(xiàng)?
【試題分析】 本題是道細(xì)節(jié)辨別題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 文章第一段中清楚地闡明了:When children suffer aphasia between four and ten and begin learning language again, recovery is usually complete, even if requiring several years.從這句話可以推斷出本題的正確答案應(yīng)該是C項(xiàng)“在青春期之前患有失語(yǔ)癥的孩子可能要用幾年時(shí)間才能完全恢復(fù)”。
47.答案B。
【參考譯文】 轉(zhuǎn)移語(yǔ)言功能的能力在5歲以后將會(huì)消失。

【詳細(xì)解答】 文章的最后一段為本題答案的選擇提供了依據(jù):Further, the ability to transfer language function from the languagedominant hemisphere to the minor one when the former suffers damage also seems to disappear after five, ... 由此可見(jiàn)本題的正確答案是B而非其他了。
48.答案A。
【參考譯文】 兩三歲的孩子從失語(yǔ)癥恢復(fù)了之后能夠在學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言上取得比以前更快的進(jìn)步。
【試題分析】 本題是道細(xì)節(jié)題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 文章第一段中有一句話為本題答案的選擇提供了依據(jù),那就是:Children aged two or three who suffer brain damage may lose all or part of the language they have learned, but are able to begin the learning process again, often progressing at a faster rate than before.據(jù)此可知A是本題的正確選項(xiàng)。
49.答案D。
【參考譯文】 本文主要談?wù)摰氖钦Z(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的關(guān)鍵階段。
【試題分析】 本題是道中心思想題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 文章雖然談?wù)摿撕芏嘤嘘P(guān)失語(yǔ)癥的問(wèn)題,但是讀完全文就可以發(fā)現(xiàn),談?wù)撌дZ(yǔ)癥也是為談?wù)撜Z(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的關(guān)鍵階段而服務(wù)的,因此本題的最佳選項(xiàng)應(yīng)該是D而非其他。
50.答案D。
【參考譯文】這篇文章主要是關(guān)于[CD#4]。
【試題分析】本題為宗旨題。

如今的澄清。而關(guān)于莎士比亞本人,他的出生地及瑪麗·雅頓的童年文中并未涉及。因此D
為正確選項(xiàng)。
51.答案B。
【參考譯文】新近公布的一項(xiàng)歐盟民意測(cè)驗(yàn)結(jié)果顯示,[CD#4]的人認(rèn)為外語(yǔ)是一項(xiàng)有用的技能。

【翻譯技巧】本題主要采用了增詞法、語(yǔ)態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)換法和詞序調(diào)整法。
【翻譯要點(diǎn)】該句的主干是there was no means,其中by which 引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾means;介詞with 引導(dǎo)的是獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)作句子的原因狀語(yǔ)。在翻譯時(shí),可將三個(gè)獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)譯為三個(gè)分句,因其表達(dá)與漢語(yǔ)的表述相近,可用順譯法,incentive原意為“刺激; 鼓勵(lì), 動(dòng)機(jī)”,這里意譯為“勞動(dòng)積極性”。本句的難點(diǎn)在于如何翻譯there was no means by which technical progress could be achieved,可將被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)換為主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),并增譯“社會(huì)”一詞,同時(shí)將句首的thus移到此處來(lái),使譯文更連貫。
S2.【譯文】一般地說(shuō),癌細(xì)胞分裂的速度比正常細(xì)胞快得多。但是,癌組織的增生與正常組織的生長(zhǎng)之間的區(qū)別與其說(shuō)是在于前者中細(xì)胞分裂的速度快,還不如說(shuō)癌組織中的癌細(xì)胞的增長(zhǎng)部分失控或完全失控。這些癌組織不能轉(zhuǎn)化為那種具有正常組織均衡功能特征的,有用的,大小限定的組織。
【翻譯技巧】本題主要采用了分譯法和語(yǔ)序調(diào)整法。
【翻譯要點(diǎn)】西方人喜歡采用“濃縮型”的思維方式,習(xí)慣將眾多的信息靠各種手段凝聚于一個(gè)句子單位加以思考,句子結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜,縱橫交錯(cuò);而中國(guó)人往往更趨向于按時(shí)間順序、邏輯順序把問(wèn)題層層鋪開(kāi),用節(jié)節(jié)短句逐點(diǎn)交代,這種“展開(kāi)型”的思維方式更利于把問(wèn)題說(shuō)清說(shuō)透。因此,在翻譯這樣信息量大又復(fù)雜的句子時(shí),可考慮將but之前的分句分譯為一句,而第二分句也可拆開(kāi)譯成兩句,其中not so much…as…意為“與其說(shuō)……不如說(shuō)……”。differentiate在生物學(xué)中意為“分化,不斷發(fā)生進(jìn)行的發(fā)展變化”;為符合漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣,定語(yǔ)從句 that characterizes the functional equilibrium of growth of normal tissue應(yīng)挪到所修飾語(yǔ)之前來(lái)譯。
S3.【譯文】環(huán)保意識(shí)要求我們不僅承認(rèn)生態(tài)層的復(fù)雜性與互相之間的依賴性,而且必須保持地球上生態(tài)與文化的多樣性,必須保持自然界的完整性與穩(wěn)定性,必須保持人的尊嚴(yán)與自由。
【翻譯技巧】本題主要采用了順譯法、重譯法和增詞法。
【翻譯要點(diǎn)】本句的結(jié)構(gòu)并不復(fù)雜,而且句子的表達(dá)順序也符合漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)順序,因此可采用順譯法。本句的難點(diǎn)在于如何翻譯such an awareness would recognize。首先,根據(jù)上下文,我們可知such an awareness指的是environmental awareness,應(yīng)在譯文中明確指代;同時(shí),按照漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣應(yīng)是“環(huán)保意識(shí)要求我們承認(rèn)”,而不是“意識(shí)承認(rèn)”,故應(yīng)用到增詞法;為了起到強(qiáng)調(diào)作用,應(yīng)重譯the need to preserve,并將名詞need轉(zhuǎn)譯為動(dòng)詞“必須”。在翻譯時(shí),還應(yīng)注意句中的一些抽象名詞如complexity, diversity, integrity和stability的譯法。
S4.【譯文】通常,在緩刑期間,如果違法犯罪分子遵守緩刑法令,不再次違法犯罪,則不會(huì)受到其它處罰;但是,如果違法犯罪分子違背緩刑法令,或者再次違法犯罪,則會(huì)被押回法庭,為他前一次所犯的罪以及這次犯的罪一并受罰。
【翻譯技巧】本題主要采用了語(yǔ)態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)換法和詞序調(diào)整法。
【翻譯要點(diǎn)】本句是由but連接的兩個(gè)分句組成的并列句;其中第一個(gè)分句中,句子主干為no other penalty is imposed,第二個(gè)分句的句子主干為he can be brought back before the court and punished for the original offense;每個(gè)分句中,都有一個(gè)由if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語(yǔ)從句。在翻譯第一個(gè)分句時(shí),可將套在條件狀語(yǔ)從句中的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句while it is in force挪到前面來(lái)譯,使之更符合漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)習(xí)慣;其中it指的是the offender, 可省去不譯;in force意為“在緩刑期間”。應(yīng)注意在漢語(yǔ)中一般很少用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),所以可將no other penalty is imposed轉(zhuǎn)為主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。punished for the original offense as well as the later one 可簡(jiǎn)單地譯為“兩罪并罰”。
S5.【譯文】有些犯罪分子,違章駕駛犯罪被判刑后,再次使用機(jī)動(dòng)車輛犯同樣的罪。一些國(guó)家允許法庭取消這種犯罪分子的駕駛資格,其目的在于防止犯罪分子再次犯這樣的罪。
【翻譯技巧】本題主要采用了分譯法和語(yǔ)序調(diào)整法。
【翻譯要點(diǎn)】本句的主干部分是Some countries allow courts to disqualify。句中介詞短語(yǔ)from driving把動(dòng)詞不定式to disqualify和其賓語(yǔ)those offenders…分割開(kāi)了;who引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾those offenders,在此從句中還套有一個(gè)由for which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾the crime;with the aim of 為獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)作主句的目的狀語(yǔ)。為了使表達(dá)明晰,可將who引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句分譯為一個(gè)獨(dú)立的句子,并移至最前面來(lái)譯;同時(shí)將名詞詞組in the commission of crime 翻譯成了動(dòng)詞詞組。to disqualify意為“使不合適;剝奪資格” ;hinder…from 意為“阻止;阻礙”。

Deepen China’s Reform
The achievements of China’s reform have established a firm foundation for deepening reform. Politically, China has adopted the principle of “governing the country according to law.” China’s economy is vitalized, and people’s living conditions have been improved. Moreover, China enjoys a stable political environment and makes rapid progress in economic construction.
` However, the road of deepening reform is uneven. To begin with, further reform means overcoming rooted defects in our political structure and changing unreasonable factors in economic structure, so it will run up against all kinds of resistances and differences. Besides, some old perceptions and conventional ideology are still influential. And not all people welcomes further reform.
To strengthen our country we must continue making our efforts to deepen reform. The depth of reform, to some extent, determines the future development of our country. Therefore, we ought to take full advantage of the best development period, adhere to opening up policy and accelerate the speed of reform so as to attain our goals.
