1. The frightened child _______________(紧紧抓住母亲的手臂).

2. People _______________(往往会发胖)after giving up cigarettes because they turn to snacks as a substitute.

3. If we want to ________________(提前一个月完成这项工程的话),we have to hurry with it.

4. When he succeeded in finishing his design,the technician _______________(似乎忘乎所以了).

5. He is the sort of person ________________(你永远琢磨不透他讲的话).

参考答案及解析:

1. grips his mother’s arm
解析:在英语里,grip表示“紧紧抓住某人”,已经包含了“紧紧地”含义,因此不需要译成grip one’s arm tightly,但是可以说catch one’s arm tightly,考生一定要注意英汉表达差异。grip也可以引申为“吸引住(注意力、兴趣等)”,如:The story gripped our attention.(这个故事吸引了我们的注意力。)

2. tend to put on weight
解析:本句意为:很多人在戒烟后往往会发胖,因为他们会吃零食取而代之。“往往会发胖”表示一种趋势、发展方向,英文里要用tend这个词。有关用法是:tend to do(取向于做某事);have the tendency to do(有做某事的趋势)。“发胖”即put on weight或gain flesh.注意,overweight这个词往往带有贬义色彩,指重量超过正常、必要或被允许的限度的,要慎用。

3. complete the project a month ahead of time
解析:我们知道,if条件句通常表示假设情况,要用虚拟语气。但是,如果if条件句里的假设状况在现实中有可能会实现的话,提出的假设并不与现在、过去或将来事实想违背,那么,就不需要遵循虚拟语气原则,if条件句用一般时态即可。本题还考查了“提前某段时间”的英文表达“时间+ahead of time”。
4. seemed to let himself go
解析:本题考查习语“忘乎所以”的英译。Let oneself go表示尽情或尽兴、情不自禁、忘乎所以。如:Now that you come for dancing,you should let yourselves go.(既然你们来跳舞,就应该玩得尽兴。)

5. whose words you never can make out
解析:本句要从全句含义来把握。这句话实际是说:他是你永远琢磨不透他所讲的话的那种人。句子需填入部分是对先行词the sort of person的修饰。因此,我们需要的是一个由whose words引导的限制性定语从句,使全句结构紧凑。make out表示“理解、了解、猜得出”。本题也可以用并列复合句来翻译:and you can never make out his words。

Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a
different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel
pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wonder whether ___1___
they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like
children and may have had considerable experience with them, but ___2___
others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with
them. Many fathers and mothers have being planning and looking ___3___
forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy
was an accident what both husband and wife have accepted willingly ___4___
or unwillingly.
What the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the ___5___
shift from the role of husband to that of father is a different task. Yet,
unfortunate, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this ___6___
resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written
on American mothers, only recently have literature focused on the role ___7___
of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s role,
although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife
must make for the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a ___8___
complete tranformation in daily routine and highly innovative(创新的)
adaption, on the other hand, the father’s role is less demanding
and in immediate. However, even as we mentione the fact that growing ___9___
numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still
thought by many the breadwinner in the household. ___10___


答案及解析:
1. wonder -> wondering
while 此处表转折,others worry与Some feel pride相对,表示不同的两种态度;逗号后的wonder…good fathers是对worry的具体阐述,为修饰部分,二者是从属关系。现在分词可以作状语,表示伴随情况、陪衬动作、附加说明以及表示时间、原因、条件等。故将wonder改为wondering。

2. but -> /
在让步状语从句中,although/though和but不能同时运用,二者只能保留其一。所以将but去掉。

3. being -> been

4. what -> which / that
此处what引导的从句中缺宾语,what引导从句时相当于the thing which/ that,在此,the thing是accident,因此确定what用错了。定语从句中,先行词为物时,从句由which或that来引导。

5. What -> Whatever
此处Whatever引导让步状语从句。

6. unfortunate -> unfortunately
Unfortunate为形容词,不能衔接句子。一些副词可独立成句,置于句中火句尾,起强调、转折或解释作用,如ultimately/evidently/obviously等。

7. have -> has
only置于句首修饰状语时,句子要部分倒装,故have提前。本句的主语是literature,主谓在数上应保持一致,故将have改为has。

8. for -> to
transition to为固定搭配,意为“向…转变”。

9. as -> though
由however和even可推断,该句含有转折意味,而as只表示原因、时间、和伴随,且很少与even搭配。even though为固定搭配,意为“虽然,尽管”,可以引导让步状语从句,表示转折。

10. the 前加as
breadwinner意为“挣钱养家的人”;be thought as为固定用法,意为“被看作是…”。

Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous
ages in knoeledge, there has been not corresponding increase in ___1___
wisdom. But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define “wisdon”
and consider means of promoting them. There are several factors ___2___
that contribute to wisdon. Of there I should put first a sense of
promotion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors
in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become
more difficult than it used to owing to the extent and complexity of the ___3___
special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for
example, that you are engaging in research in scientific medicine. The ___4___
work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. You
have no time to consider the effect what your discoveries or inventions ___5___
may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say) as
modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lower the infant ___6___
death rate, not only in the Europe and America, but also in Asia and
___7___
Africa. This has the little entirely unintended result of making the food
supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the
world that has the greatest populations. ___8___
Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom
becomes less necessary, for every such increase augments(增强)our ___9___
capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity
for evil, unless our purposes are unwise.___10___


答案及解析:
1. not -> no
Not和no都有否定意义,但not强调“不是”,而no强调“没有”;no修饰名词,not则修饰形容词或情态动词或助动词。此处corresponding increase为名词性短语,所以要用no。

2. them -> it
此处的代词指代上一行的wisdom,所以要把them改为it。

3.. used to -> used to be
owning to为固定短语,意为“由于,因为”,后接名词、动名词或名词性从句;used to用于表示过去的状态或常做的动作,后接动词原形。通读全句可知,本句为含有that引导的比较状语从句的复合句。在比较状语从句中,如果从句的谓语与主句的谓语为同一动词时,从句的谓语可以省略。本句中,主句的谓语是has become而从句的谓语是used to be,因此此处的be不能省略。

4. engaging -> engaged
be engaged in sth / doing sth为习惯用法,意为“参加,忙于”,强调状态;engage in sth / doing sth同样意为“参加,忙于”,但强调动作,一般不使用现在进行时。

5. what -> that / which或 /
此处是定语从句,先行词the effect在从句中作have的宾语,所以这里要用that或which。而what只引导名词性从句。

6. lower -> lowering
此处是suceed in sth / doing sth,这里要把lower改为动名词形式作介词in的宾语,in (enormously) lowering。

7. the -> /
洲和国家简称前不加定冠词。

8. has -> have
本句中,that引导的是定语从句,先行词为the parts,of the world是作后置定语,所以从句中的谓语要用复数形式。

9. less -> more
less与for引导的原因状语从句在语意上矛盾。从句是在解释“如果我们的目的是不明智的,那么随着知识不断增长的能力只能被用于邪恶”。

10. unless -> if
if意为“如果”,unless意为“除非”,若unless正确,那么就与前面的therefore augments our capacity for evil在语意上矛盾。
1. Generally speaking,______________(按照说明服用时),the drug has no side effect.

2. Being out of work and having two young children, ______________(夫妻俩发现勉强维持生计是不可能的).

3. Some people argue that most crime ______________(可归咎于对金钱的贪婪).

4. ______________(发现很难适应那里的气候),he decided to move back to the north.

5. Over a third of the population was estimated _____________(没有机会享受医疗保健服务).

答案及解析:

1. when taken according to the direction/instruction
解析:本题考查对分词短语作状语及词组according to的掌握。本句中分词短语作状语表示条件,相当于if the drug is taken…,分词的逻辑主语the drug与take之间是被动关系,所以应用过去分词短语作状语。词组according to意为“依照、按照”。

2. the couple found it impossible to make ends meet
解析:本题考查对常见句型find it+adj.+to do sth.及短语make ends meet的掌握。Find it impossible to do sth.意为“发现……是不可能的”,it是形式宾语,impossible为宾语补足语,动词不定式是真正的宾语。短语make ends meet是“使收支相抵,勉强维持生计”之意。

3. can be attributed to the greed for money
解析:本题考查对短语attribute to及常见搭配the greed for的掌握。attribute to意为“归咎于”,可表示“归功于”,也可表示“归咎于”,crime与attribute是动宾关系,因此谓语要用被动语态(can be attributed to)。“对……的贪婪”用the greed for…表示。

4. Finding it difficult to adapt to the climate there
解析:本题考查分词短语作状语及短语adapt to的用法。句子主语he与动词“发现”是主谓关系,故应用现在分词短语作状语表示原因。常见句型find it difficult to do sth.表示“发现很难做某事”,短语adapt to意为“适应”。

5. to have no access to the health service
解析:本题考查对不定式和have (no) access to固定搭配的掌握。空格处在句中作主语补足语,不定式变成被动语态以后,都必须加上to。have (no) access to为固定搭配,表示“(没)有接近(或进入、享用)的机会”。

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of
reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of
news from local crime to international politics , from sprort
to business, from fashion to science, and the range of comment
and special features as well. A news paper is even though more ___1___
remarkable for the way one reads it: never complete, never ___2___

in and out glancing at one piece, reading other article all the way ___3___
through, reading just a few parargraphs of the next. A good
modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different
readers, but far more than any one reader is inerested in. That ___4___

immediate relation to what is happening in your world and
your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that
go with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper ___6___

techniques of reading.



答案及解析:
1. though -> /
even though为复合连词,须引导从句,但本行中even though 后是一短语,故可确定even其中一个是多余的。若删掉even,though仍可以连接句子,还有根据后面的more可判断这里应该把though删去。


2. complete -> completely
此处never complete和never straight through都是修饰动词read;read sth (straight) through为习惯用法,意为“认真彻底地阅读”;而complete是形容词,不能修饰动词,故将它改为complete。

3. other -> another
从上个分句的one piece和下个分句的the next可知,这是在进行三者之间的比较,another表示三个之间的一个;而other为“其它的”,其名词形式为the other,意为“(两个之中的)另一个”。


4. That -> What
one reader is interested in为定语从句修饰any (variety);通读That brings….now可知,本句尾含有一个主语从句和一个宾语从句的复合句。That引导主语从句时,在从句中不充当任何成分,也没有实际意义;what引导主语从句时,在从句中既可以作宾语也可以作主语。此处that不能作brings的主语,所以要将其改为what。

5. whose -> its
此处immediate relation to…..your locality now为名词性短语作同位语,而whose引导定语从句,故将whose改为its。

6. go -> goes
本句的主语是immediacy and the speed of production,故谓语mean保持原形;本句中第一个that引导定语从句,修饰the speed of production,从句中的动词应该在数上与之保持一致,故将go改为goea。

7. not -> no

8. pages前加the
Pages后有后置定语of that day’s paper,故pages为特指,因此在pages前加定冠词the。the pages为固定用法,只报纸中不同板块儿,如the sports / fashion page。

9. with -> without
此处的意思是“既不漏掉要读的东西,也不浪费时间是很有难度的”,故将with改为without。

10. demand -> demands
本句中reading newspaper efficiently是主语,谓语是demand,中间which引导的是非限制性定语从句,修饰reading newspaper efficiently。当单个动名词短语作主语是,谓语动词要用第三人称单数,故将demand改为demands。(本题还可以根据从句中的谓语means判断此处demand错了,因为它们的主语都是reading newspaper efficiently。)
