当句首出现not only或only时,句子应采用部分倒装的结构,即只需把助动词或情态动词置于主语之前。

)06.687 Having spent some time in the city, he had no trouble ______(找到去历史博物馆的路).88 __________(为了挣钱供我上学), Mother often takes on more work than is good for her.89 The professor required that __________________(我们交研究报告)。
90 The more you explain, _________________(我愈糊涂).91 Though a skilled worker, _______________(他被公司解雇了) last week because of the economic crisis.06.687. finding the way to the history museum88. In order to support my university studies (或:to finance my education;to pay for my education/to pay my tuition fees)89. we(should) hand in our/the research report(s)90. the more confused I am91. he was fired by the company次汉译英命题并没有在词汇方面设置很高的难度,仅涉及到history, museum, education, research, report, confused, company等基本词汇。
对考生而言,选择正确的词形和句型则是更大的挑战。
如87题,题干中已经给出have no trouble,说明考察的是have (no)trouble (in) doing sth.这一词组,因此可以断定,关键采分点之一必然是看考生在答案中是否使用了动名词形式;88题,需要翻译的是目的状语,因此最好的方式必然是以“in order to”或“to”开头。
这一题中给出的参考答案使用了finance的动词用法,但如果考生能够使用raise money, support等相对基础的词汇,相信仍然能够得分。
89题,require that是建议句型的一个变体,这个句型补全之后的形式应为require that sb. (should) do sth.;90题,是考生应该十分熟悉的the more…, the more… 句型;同时,对“糊涂”的正确译法“be confused”相信也应是关键采分点之一。
91题则是让步状语从句之后的主句,关键采分点之一是看考生是否掌握though引导让步状语从句时,主句不应有but存在。
06.1287. Specialists in intercultural studies say that it is not easy to___(适应不同文化中的生活)88. Since my childhood I have found that ___________(没有什么比读书对我更有吸引力)89. The victim___________ (本来有机会活下来) if he had been taken to hospital in time.90.Some psychologists claim that people_________ (出门在外时可能会感到孤独)91.The nation’s population continues to rise_________ (以每年1200万人的速度)06.1287. adapt oneself to life/living in different cultures88. nothing is more attractive to me than reading或to me, nothing is more important than reading89. would have had a chance to survive或would have survived90. might feel lonely when they are far from home/ are not in their hometown/ traveling.91. at a speed/rate of 12 million per year 或at an annual speed of 12 million87. Specialists in intercultural studies say that it is not easy to____ (适应不同文化中的生活)答案:adapt oneself to life/living in different cultures常考词组adapt oneself to 这是往年词汇部分的常考重点词组,也是我们教学中一直强调的知识点。
其中最大的陷阱在于,其一,adapt需要增加一个反身代词作泛指主语oneself,其二,to后面应该跟一个名词,或者动名词doing,而不可以直接跟动词原型作不定式。
如果考生在to 后面直接加动词原型live则会马失前蹄。
88. Since my childhood I have found that _____ (没有什么比读书对我更有吸引力)答案:nothing is more attractive to me than reading或to me, nothing is more import ant than reading本题考察固定搭配noting is more important than… 这是作文老师历来推崇的精彩搭配,此外,由于英语和汉语的语言差异,汉语中的一些动宾结构常常在英语中以不及物动词表示,比如唱歌singing, 跳舞dancing, 开车driving 读书reading等等。
因此,“读书”正确的译文不应是reading books, 而应是reading。
至于该宾语从句的时态问题,则涉及到很多同学写作文时就时常困惑的一个问题。
我们的建议是,当写作目的是叙述时,使用过去时,如果表达的内容是议论或者常识性、真理性内容,则即使主句是过去时,从句也应是现在时。
89. The victim_____ (本来有机会活下来) if he had been taken to hospital in time答案:would have a chance to survive或would have a chance of survival本题考点之一是与过去相反的虚拟语气的基本规则用法。
考点之二是核心词汇survive (幸存)和基本词汇chance(机会)。
90.Some psychologists claim that people (出门在外时可能会感到孤独)答案:might feel lonely when they are far from home/ are not in their hometown/ tra veling.本题的语法考点仍是虚拟语气,考察了与六月份相同的考点――建议句型。
本题的词汇考点是lonely(孤独)和alone(独自)的辨析,而“出门在外”,同学们完全可以用自己的语言表达出来。
91.The nation’s population continues to rise (以每年1200万人的速度)答案:at a speed/rate of 12 million per year 或at an annual speed of 12 million本题基本没有语法考点,词汇考点之一是词组at a speed of… (以……的速度)07.687. The finding of this study failed to _____________(将人们的睡眠质量考虑在内).88.The prevention and treatment of AIDS is ____________(我们可以合作的领域) .89. Because of the leg injury, the athlete__________________(决定退出比赛).90.To make donations or for more information, please ________(按以下地址和我们联系).91.Please come here at ten tomorrow morning ______________(如果你方便的话).07.687. take people’s sleep quality/quality of sleep into account/consideration88. a field in which we can work together / a field in which we can cooperate89. decided to quit the match90. contact us at the following address91. at your convenience/if it is convenient for you87.本题考查对take …into account/consideration的掌握。
