1. _______________（让世界发展如此之快的）is the modern science and technology.
2.The doctor _______________（建议用一种新药来治疗这种病）.
3. The two parties differ very sharply from each other _______________（在采取正确的补救办法的问题上）.
4. An average student with average intelligence can be a top student ________________（只要仔细安排他/她的时间）.
5. A student must treasure his time and ________________（吸收尽可能多的知识）to lay a solid foundation for his future career.
答案及解析:
1. What makes the world develop so fast
解析：根据句子各部分语法功能判断，我们在这里需要的是一个主语，因此必须将需填入部分译成what引导的主语从句，全句意思为“什么让世界发展如此之快——是现代科技”。
2. suggests treating the case with a new drug
解析：考生容易将此句“治疗”翻译成cure，cure强调“治疗、治愈，侧重治疗效果”，如：The doctor used special medicines to cure him of the measles.（医生用特效药治愈了麻疹。）而treat强调医治的过程，后接sb.或sth.作宾语。另外，“建议做某事”通常可以用句型“suggest doing”或“suggest that”从句。
3. over the correct remedies to apply
解析：首先要看到differ…from的结构，它表示“和……不同”，“与……在某方面不同”要用differ…from…over/on/upon…。“问题”是范畴词，不需要译成over the question of the correct remedies to apply以避免累赘。考生要注意比较differ from与differ with的差别。differ with是说“不同意……的意见”，相当于disagree with，如：I differ with him on that point，though he may be right.（在那一点上，我不同意他的意见，尽管他可能是对的。）
4. if he plans his/her time carefully
解析：本题考查代词在人称、数、性上的一致性。全句意为：一个中等智力水平的学生只要安排他/她的时间也能成为优等生。Student是单数，但无法确定名词的性，因此条件句中可用阳性或阴性。
5. absorb as much knowledge as he can
解析：本句意为：学生应该珍惜宝贵时间并吸收尽可能多的知识以便为将来事业打下坚实的基础。“吸收”可选用absorb，drink in，take in.“尽可能多的”译为as many as或as much as，具体要看句中名词是可数还是不可数。lay a foundation for表示“为……打下基础”。
2.The doctor _______________（建议用一种新药来治疗这种病）.
3. The two parties differ very sharply from each other _______________（在采取正确的补救办法的问题上）.
4. An average student with average intelligence can be a top student ________________（只要仔细安排他/她的时间）.
5. A student must treasure his time and ________________（吸收尽可能多的知识）to lay a solid foundation for his future career.

and against war. She work for women’s right to vote and for improving ___6___
the situation of the blacks. She initiated country vocation program for
poor city children. Jane Adams had a great influence to the development ___7___
of social work in the United States and in other parts of the world She

the lives of the poor more meaningful. In 1931, Jane Adams was rewarded ___9___
the Nobel Prize for which she had done for the society. ___10___
答案及解析:
1. as -> that
此处是so…that…结构。....so distressed......that she left.....
2. slums前加the
slums后有of Chicago作后置定语，所以定冠词the 不能省略。
3. that -> /
that作引导词时，后面接的是句子，在本题中that后面是短语for factory workers，所以不用that。
4. well后加as
5. passive -> active
passive意为“消极的，被动的”。从文中可知Jane Adams是一位热心服务的人，因此她应该是积极的而不是消极地为人权而战。所以要把passive改为active“积极的”。
6. work –> worked
根据整篇文章的时态可知，此处应该是过去时。
7. to -> on
have an influence / effect / impact on为固定搭配，意为“对…的影响”。
8. was -> were
此处的主语是Settlement houses，所以谓语动词要用复数形式。
9. rewarded -> awarded
reward意为“报答，酬谢，奖励”；award意为“授予，给予”。此处的意思应该是Jane Adams被授予诺贝尔奖，所以要用award。
10. which -> what
此处what引导名词性从句作done的宾语，整个名词性从句what she had done for the society作介词for的宾语。

1. What upset me was ______________（不是他所说的话，而是他说话的方式）.
2. The customer complained that no sooner ______________（他刚起动这台计算机，它就不运转了）.
3. This piece of writing is ______________（与其说是短篇小说，不如说更像是新闻报道）.
4. The court ruling ______________（剥夺了他的政治权利）.
5. Human behavior is mostly a product of learning _____________（然而，动物的行为主要依靠本能）.
答案及解析:
1. not what he said but the way he said it/ not what he said but the manner in which he said it
解析：本题考查对常见结构“not…but…”的掌握。Not…but…意为“不是……而是……”，用来连接两个并列成分，表示否定前者而肯定后者。“他所说的话”应用名词性从句what he said表示。“……的方式”用the way (in which)…或the manner in which…表示都可以，前者中的in which常省略。
2. had he started the computer than it stopped working
解析：本题考查对no sooner…than句型的掌握。no sooner…than和hardly(scarcely)…when都表示“刚一……就……”，注意其中连词的区别。该句型有两个特点：一是主句中一般使用过去完成时，而从句中一般使用一般过去时；二是no sooner或hardly(scarcely)位于句首时，要求句子采用部分倒装语序。本句中no sooner位于句首，故句子采用了倒装语序。
3. more like a news report than a short story
解析：本题考查对“more…than…”用法的掌握。“more…than…”可以表示“与其……不如……”，该结构中可以使用形容词，也可以使用名词、代词、动词、介词短语等。如：He is more diligent than clever.（与其说他聪明不如说他勤奋。）本句中是表示“更像”，于是用了“more like”。
4． deprived him of his political rights
解析：本题考查对固定结构deprive sb. of sth.的掌握。Deprive sb. of sth.意为“剥夺某人某物”。“政治权利”常用political rights表达。court ruling意为“法庭的判决”。
5． while animal behavior depends mainly on instinct /whereas the behavior of an animal depends mainly on instinct
解析：本题考查对表示对比或相反情况的连接词的掌握。While或whereas都可以作为连词，表示前后的一种对比或相反的情况，意为“然而”。注意此处不要用however，因为however是表示一种强烈的转折关系，不强调前后情况的对比。

短文改错(Error Correction)
Prolonging human life has decreased the dependency load. In all societies ___1___
people are disable or too young or too old to work are dependent on the ___2___
rest of society to provide them. In hunting and gathering cultures old people ___3___
who could keep up might be left behind and die. In times of famine infants ___4___
might be allowed to die because they could not survive when their parents
starved; whereas when their parents survived they could have another child.
In most contemporary societies people feel it a obligation to keep people
live whether or not they can work. There are a great many people who live ___5___
the past age in which they want to work or are able to work; there are rules ___6___
that require people to retire at a certain age. If these people are able to save ___7___
money from their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the Unite
states many people live on social security checks, which are so considerable ___8___
that they must live in near poverty.
Elder people are more liable to become ill than young or middle-aged people; ___9___
therefore they are wealthy or provided with private or government insurance, ___10___
they must often “go on welfare” if they fall seriously ill.
答案及解析:
1. decreased -> increased
根据下文提示，退休的老年人由工作的壮年人为其提供生活补助，可知此处地意思是“人类寿命的延长会增加社会负担”，所以此处应该用increased。
2. people后加who或that
分析句子结构，此句出现了两个谓语（系动词）are，故有一个必是从句。根据句子的主干可知，前部分are disable or too young or too old to work应该是定语从句，且缺少了引导词，又因为先行词是people，故加上相应的引导词that或who。
3. provide后加for
此处从句的意思是“没有工作能力的人由有工作能力的人来养活”。provide for sb是“养活某人”的意思。
4. could后加not
根据上下文理解，此处的意思应该是“老年人跟不上时代步伐，将被弃之不管或死去”。故要在could后加not。
5. live -> alive
这里是词组keep sb alive。
6. in -> at
此处的意思是“今天还有很多人超过了能够工作的年龄…..”。定语从句的先行词是age，复原后的词组是at the age。故用at which。
7. If -> Unless
意思是“除非人们能位退休后的生活存钱，否则必须由别人来养活他们”。
8. considerable -> little
根据上下文的理解，在美国，许多人靠社会救济生存，这笔钱很少，以至于人们生活在贫困的边缘。
9. Elder -> Older
elder意为“年龄较长的；资格老的，地位高的”，older意为“上年纪的”。此处指的是老年人，故用older。
10. therefore -> unless
意思是“除非他们富有或有政府或私人的保险，否则生病时只能依靠救济金”。故将therefore改为unless。

5. live -> alive
这里是词组keep sb alive。

1. All things have passed; _______________（昔日的荣耀荡然无存）.
2.They’ve fully prepared to _______________（投身于革命）.
3. ________________（被告涉嫌参与）a murder case.
4. The acoustics in the Festival Hall _______________（效果好极了）.
5. With the last hours of the afternoon ________________（她所有的希望、勇气和力量都随之消失了）.
答案及解析:
1. nothing remains of its former glory
解析：翻译本句要注意防止漏译错译。当everything，anything，something，nothing作主语时，相应的谓语动词通常采用单数形式。“昔日的”可以用former作定语修饰glory，in former days通常在句中作状语。另外，本句还采用了反译法，原中文否定在动词谓语部分，而译文动词用了不带否定标记词的remain，否定含义体现在主语nothing上。
2. throw themselves into the revolution
解析：本句意为：他们做好了充分的准备投身革命。“投身革命”是使自己参与到革命当中，但如果用take part in the revolution，表达就略显平板。英文里有一个短语throw oneself into…中使用了反身代词表示投身于某项事业，大家要记住。
3. The accused is suspected of being involved in
解析：“the＋adj.”作主语指某个人或某抽象意义时，谓语动词要用单数。这些形容词还可以被其他词语修饰，如：the extremely poor，the idle rich，the young at heart。若被both…and…修饰，the可以省略，如：Both young and old volunteer to give a helping hand.（年轻人和老人都主动来帮忙。）本题第二个考点是如何准确表达“涉嫌”。“涉嫌”即“被怀疑……”，因此用be suspected of doing较为准确。“参与”虽然可以说take part in，join in，participate in，但这些都有主动且比较积极的含义；如果是参与到/被牵涉到某件不好的事情中，通常用be involved in，考生要注意词语的感情色彩。
4. are extremely good
解析：本题旨在考查以-ics结尾的单词作主语时的单复数问题。acoustics在句中表示“音响效果”，是一个特定的事物，所以谓语要用复数are；当acoustics指学科“声学”的时候，谓语动词要用单数，如：Acoustics is a branch of physics.（声学是物理学的一个分支。）
5. went her hopes，courage，and strength
解析：本题考查状语位于句首，主句用倒装语序。这可以起到强调或使句子平衡的作用。“随之消失”的英文表达是go with…，如：go with wind，go with memory，go with tide。如果还原本句的正常语序，就是：Her hopes，courage，and strength went with the last hours of the afternoon.
2.They’ve fully prepared to _______________（投身于革命）.
3. ________________（被告涉嫌参与）a murder case.
4. The acoustics in the Festival Hall _______________（效果好极了）.
5. With the last hours of the afternoon ________________（她所有的希望、勇气和力量都随之消失了）.
