【21題詳解】
考查動詞。句意:然而,這些生物是生物群落的成員,如果其穩(wěn)定性取決于其完整性,它們就有權(quán)生存。根據(jù)上文中的“mst members f the land cmmunity have n ecnmic value”和句中的“these creatures are members f the bitic(生物的) cmmunity and, if its stability depends n its integrity”可知,大部分生物是沒有經(jīng)濟價值的,但這些生物都是整個生物群落的一部分,如果這個群落的穩(wěn)定性是以其完整性為基礎(chǔ)的,那么所有生物都有權(quán)生存下去。entitle意為“使有權(quán)利,使有資格”,為及物動詞,空前有are,entitle和they之間是動賓關(guān)系,所以用過去分詞。故選J。
【22題詳解】

【23題詳解】
考查副詞。句意:科學(xué)家們急忙救助,針對影響提出明顯不可靠的證據(jù),大意是如果鳥類不能控制昆蟲,昆蟲會吃掉我們。空處用副詞,修飾shaky。根據(jù)上文中的“if we happen t lve it, we invent excuses t give it ecnmic imprtance”和句中的“insects wuld eat us up if birds failed t cntrl them”可知,我們會編造借口去拯救那些沒有經(jīng)濟價值但受人類喜歡的物種,這里編造的關(guān)于鳥的理由明顯不可靠。distinctly意為“清楚地,明顯地”。故選K。
【24題詳解】

考查形容詞。句意:直到最近幾年,我們才聽到比較誠實的觀點,即捕食性動物是群落的成員,沒有任何特殊利益集團有權(quán)為了自己的利益而殺死它們,無論是真實的還是虛構(gòu)的。根據(jù)空前的“real r”可知,空處應(yīng)用形容詞fancied,意為“虛構(gòu)的”,表示無論是真實的還是虛構(gòu)的。故選C。
【27題詳解】
考查形容詞。句意:一些樹種被有經(jīng)濟頭腦的林學(xué)家“排除在外”,因為它們生長太慢或銷售價值太低而無法作為有前景的作物創(chuàng)收??仗帒?yīng)用形容詞,修飾crps。根據(jù)句中的“have t lw a sale value t pay”可知,這些樹種銷售價值低,不是有經(jīng)濟前景的作物。prmising意為“有希望的,有前途的”。故選G。
【28題詳解】
考查形容詞。句意:森林及其組成物種和地面動植物的相互依存被認(rèn)為是理所當(dāng)然的。根據(jù)空前的“the frest”和空后的“species”可知,這里指組成森林的物種。cnstituent意為“組成的,構(gòu)成的”。故選A。

【30題詳解】
考查動名詞。句意:它錯誤地認(rèn)為,生物群落的經(jīng)濟部分將在沒有無經(jīng)濟價值部分的情況下運轉(zhuǎn),而無經(jīng)濟價值部分對其健康運作至關(guān)重要。根據(jù)“the ecnmic parts f the bitic cmmunity will wrk withut the unecnmic parts”可知,這里指無經(jīng)濟價值的物種對生物群落的健康運轉(zhuǎn)很重要。functining意為“運轉(zhuǎn)”,是動詞functin的動名詞形式。故選D。

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
Nt lng ag I jined in a frum n the rle f the American press. The purpse f the frum, as I understd it, was t examine the respnsibilities f the media and t suggest the best ways t meet thse respnsibilities.
During the pen-discussin perid, a gentleman addressed a questin t a distinguished anchrman. Why, he asked, are the newspapers and televisin news prgrams s disaster-prne? The anchrman reacted as if he had been blamed fr the existence f bad news. Newsmen, he said, are nly respnsible fr reprting the news, nt fr creating r mdifying it.
It didn’t seem t me that he had answered the questin. The gentleman was just wndering why distrtins are mst reprted. The news media seem t perate n the philsphy that all news is bad news. Why? Culd it be that the emphasis n dwnside news is largely the result f traditin — the way newsmen and newswmen are accustmed t respnding t daily events?
Perhaps it wuld be useful here t examine the way we define the wrd news fr this is where the prblem begins. News is suppsed t deal with happenings f the past 12 hurs — 24 hurs at mst. Anything that happens s suddenly, hwever, is likely t be eruptive: a sniper kills a presidential candidate; a plane crashed int a muntain…
Fcusing nly n these details, hwever, prduces a misshapen picture. Civilizatin is a lt mre than the sum ttal f its disasters. The mst imprtant ingredient in any civilizatin is prgress. But prgress is nt eruptive. Generally, it cmes in bits and pieces, very little f it clearly visible at any given mment, but all f it invlved in the making f histrical change fr the better.
It is this aspect f living histry that mst news reprting reflects inadequately. The result is that we are under-infrmed abut psitive develpments and ver-infrmed abut disasters. This, in turn, leads t a public md f defeatism, which in themselves tend t prevent prgress. A persistent diet f eruptive news drains the essential human energies a free sciety needs.
I am nt suggesting “psitive” news be designed as a cuntermeasure t the disasters n page ne. What I am trying t get acrss is the ntin that the respnsibility f the news media is t search ut and reprt n imprtant events whether r nt they cme under the heading f cnflicts r disasters. The wrld is a splendid cmbinatin f heaven and hell, and bth call fr attentin and examinatin.
The anchrman was right in saying newsmen were nt respnsible fr shaping the wrld, but they are respnsible fr affecting ur attitude. News peple prvide us with the nly picture f urselves and the wrld. It had better be a true prtrait-and nt a caricature (漫畫)— fr it’s this picture n which we will base ur decisins and arund which we will plan ur future.
46. The authr learned frm the frum that ______.
A. the public tended t blame newsmen fr reprting nly bad news
B. there were cncerns abut the media’s t much fcus n bad news
C. the American press failed t deliver n its prmise t refrm the media
D. the public expected factual and unmdified news reprts frm newsmen
47. What des the authr suggest is the primary reasn fr the dminance f negative news cverage?
A. The news media wrks n the principle that all news is bad news.
B. News reprters are prfessinally trained t reprt daily disasters.
C. News traditinally refers t events that ccur suddenly within a day.
D. Reprting nly tragic events may blind the public t scial prgress.
48. Which f the fllwing statements might the authr agree with?
A. News reprters shuld give their attentin t a wider range f imprtant issues.
B. The cnflicts and disasters cause public despair and rb sciety f human energy.
C. Newsmen are duty-bund t create mre psitive news t fight against disasters.
D. Newsmen can strive t find a balanced prtrayal f events t shape the wrld.
49. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A. Why is all news bad news?B. Where is the news leading us?
C. Why is it time t create mre psitive news?D. Hw can the news media thrive against all dds?

【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。這篇文章主要討論了美國新聞媒體的報道傾向,特別是其對負(fù)面新聞的過度關(guān)注及其對公眾態(tài)度和社會氛圍的影響。
【46題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Why, he asked, are the newspapers and televisin news prgrams s disaster-prne? The anchrman reacted as if he had been blamed fr the existence f bad news. Newsmen, he said, are nly respnsible fr reprting the news, nt fr creating r mdifying it.(他問道,為什么報紙和電視新聞節(jié)目如此容易報道災(zāi)難?主持人的反應(yīng)就好像他因為壞消息的存在而受到責(zé)備。他說,新聞記者只負(fù)責(zé)報道新聞,而不負(fù)責(zé)創(chuàng)造或修改新聞)”可知,有人擔(dān)心媒體過分關(guān)注壞消息。故選B。
【47題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Perhaps it wuld be useful here t examine the way we define the wrd news fr this is where the prblem begins.

Anything that happens s suddenly, hwever, is likely t be eruptive: a sniper kills a presidential candidate; a plane crashed int a muntain…(也許在這里檢查一下我們定義“新聞”這個詞的方式會很有用,因為這就是問題的開始。新聞應(yīng)該處理過去12小時——最多24小時內(nèi)發(fā)生的事情。然而,任何突然發(fā)生的事情都可能引發(fā)爆發(fā):一名狙擊手殺死了一名總統(tǒng)候選人;一架飛機墜毀在山上。)”可知,作者認(rèn)為負(fù)面新聞報道占主導(dǎo)地位的主要原因是傳統(tǒng)上,新聞指的是一天內(nèi)突然發(fā)生的事件。故選C。
【48題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“What I am trying t get acrss is the ntin that the respnsibility f the news media is t search ut and reprt n imprtant events whether r nt they cme under the heading f cnflicts r disasters. The wrld is a splendid cmbinatin f heaven and hell, and bth call fr attentin and examinatin.(我想要表達的是這樣一種觀念,即新聞媒體的責(zé)任是找出并報道重要事件,無論這些事件是否屬于沖突或災(zāi)難的范疇。這個世界是天堂和地獄的完美結(jié)合,兩者都需要關(guān)注和審視)”可知,作者認(rèn)為新聞記者應(yīng)該把注意力放在更廣泛的重要問題上。故選A。
【49題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Nt lng ag I jined in a frum n the rle f the American press. The purpse f the frum, as I understd it, was t examine the respnsibilities f the media and t suggest the best ways t meet thse respnsibilities.(不久前,我參加了一個關(guān)于美國媒體角色的論壇。據(jù)我所知,論壇的目的是審查傳播媒介的責(zé)任,并提出履行這些責(zé)任的最佳方法)”以及這篇文章主要討論了美國新聞媒體的報道傾向,特別是其對負(fù)面新聞的過度關(guān)注及其對公眾態(tài)度和社會氛圍的影響。故B選項“這條新聞把我們引向何方?”最符合文章標(biāo)題。故選B。
(B)

(C)
The recent trust crisis has led many scientists t take up arms t defend their enterprise, but in their attempt t fight back against varius frms f science denial, sme scientists say things that just aren’t true - and yu can’t build trust if the things yu are saying are nt trustwrthy.
One ppular mve is t insist that science is right - full stp - and that nce we discver the truth abut the wrld, we are dne. Anyne wh denies such truths is ignrant. Or, as Nbel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg said, “Even thugh a scientific thery is in a sense a scial cnsensus (共識), it is unlike any ther srt f cnsensus in that it is culture-free and permanent.” Well, n. Science is a prcess f learning and discvery, and smetimes we learn that what we thught was right is wrng. Even a mdest familiarity with the histry f science ffers many examples f matters that scientists thught they had reslved, nly t discver that they needed t be recnsidered.
Anther ppular mve is t say scientific findings are true because scientists use “the scientific methd”. But we can never actually agree n what that methd is. Sme will say it is empiricism: bservatin and descriptin f the wrld. Others will say it is the experimental methd: the use f experiment t test hyptheses (假設(shè)). Recently sme prminent scientists claimed the scientific methd was t avid fling neself int thinking smething is true that is nt, and vice versa.
Each f these cmmnly-held views has its merits, but if the claim is that any ne f these is the scientific methd, then they all fail. Histry and philsphy have shwn that the idea f a singular scientific methd is, well, unscientific. In fact, the methds f science have varied between disciplines and acrss time. Many scientific practices, particularly statistical tests f significance, have been develped with the idea f aviding wishful thinking and self-deceptin, but that hardly cnstitutes “the scientific methd”. Scientists have bitterly argued abut which methds are the best, and, as we all knw, bitter arguments rarely get reslved.
In my view, the biggest mistake scientists make is t claim that this is all smehw simple and therefre t imply that anyne wh desn’t get it is dumb. Science is nt simple, and neither is the natural wrld; therein lies the challenge f science cmmunicatin. What we d is bth hard and, ften, hard t explain. Our effrts t understand and prtray the natural wrld are just that: effrts. Because we’re human, we ften fall flat. The gd news is that when that happens, we pick urselves up, brush urselves ff, and get back t wrk. Understanding the beautiful, cmplex wrld we live in, and using that knwledge t d useful things, is bth its wn reward and why taxpayers shuld be happy t fund research.
Scientific theries are nt perfect cpies f reality, but we have gd reasn t believe that they capture significant elements f it. And experience reminds us that when we ignre reality, it sner r later cmes back t bite us.
53. The qute frm Steven Weinberg is intended t ______.
A. illustrate that scientific theries are free frm cultural influences
B. stress what was believed t be true may turn ut t be false theries
C. shw even great scientists may be unfamiliar with the histry f science
D. serve as an example f the belief that science prduces permanent truths
54. What can be learned frm all the ppular pinins n “the scientific methd” mentined in the passage?
A. One way t make scientific discvery is ding experiments t bserve and describe the wrld.
B. Sme hld the scientific methd fcuses n prving hyptheses crrect thrugh experiments.
C. Sme suggest emplying the scientific methd t avid self-deceptin in scientific inquiry.
D. The scientific methd has evlved ver time and varied acrss scientific disciplines.
55. The underlined phrase “fall flat” in Paragraph 5 is clsest in meaning t ______.
A. fail t achieve a galB. lie n ne’s back
C. fall behind the timesD. rise t challenges
56. Which f the fllwing statements des the authr prbably agree with?
A. It’s pintless t agree n a single scientific methd as science is right in itself.
B. Science can’t supply abslute truths abut the real wrld, but it brings us clser.
C. Reflectin n the histry f science may help scientists restre public trust in science.
D. Making scientific theries easily understandable is the biggest challenge fr scientists.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章主要探討了在信任危機下科學(xué)家捍衛(wèi)科學(xué)事業(yè)時存在的問題,包括忽視科學(xué)是一個不斷學(xué)習(xí)與發(fā)現(xiàn)的過程,認(rèn)為某種單一的科學(xué)方法更好,以及將科學(xué)簡單化,同時指出科學(xué)不能提供關(guān)于現(xiàn)實世界的絕對真理,但它使我們更接近真理。
【53題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“One ppular mve is t insist that science is right - full stp - and that nce we discver the truth abut the wrld, we are dne. Anyne wh denies such truths is ignrant. Or, as Nbel Prize-winning physicist Steven Weinberg said, “Even thugh a scientific thery is in a sense a scial cnsensus (共識), it is unlike any ther srt f cnsensus in that it is culture-free and permanent.” (一種流行的做法是堅稱科學(xué)是正確的——到此為止——一旦我們發(fā)現(xiàn)了世界的真相,我們就完成了任務(wù)。任何否認(rèn)這些真理的人都是無知的?;蛘撸缰Z貝爾獎得主物理學(xué)家Steven Weinberg所說,“盡管科學(xué)理論在某種意義上是一種社會共識,但它不同于任何其他類型的共識,因為它不受文化的影響,而且是永恒的?!?”可知,Steven Weinberg認(rèn)為科學(xué)理論與文化無關(guān),是永恒的,這支撐了前面提到的科學(xué)產(chǎn)生永恒真理的觀點,是對其例證。故選D項。

(最近,一些著名的科學(xué)家聲稱,科學(xué)的方法是避免欺騙自己,使自己誤以為某事是真的,反之亦然。)”可知,一些人建議采用科學(xué)的方法來避免在科學(xué)研究中自我欺騙。A項“進行科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)的一種方法是通過實驗來觀察和描述世界”與第三段中“Sme will say it is empiricism: bservatin and descriptin f the wrld. (有人會說這是經(jīng)驗主義:對世界的觀察和描述。)”不符,觀察和描述世界是經(jīng)驗主義的方法;B項“一些人認(rèn)為科學(xué)方法的重點是通過實驗證明假設(shè)是正確的”與第三段中“Others will say it is the experimental methd: the use f experiment t test hyptheses (假設(shè)). (其他人會說這是實驗方法:用實驗來檢驗假設(shè)。)”不符,實驗是用來檢驗假設(shè)的,假設(shè)有可能被證偽;D項“科學(xué)方法隨著時間的推移而發(fā)展,在不同的科學(xué)學(xué)科中也有所不同”與第四段中“In fact, the methds f science have varied between disciplines and acrss time. (事實上,不同學(xué)科和不同時代的科學(xué)方法是不同的。)”不符,科學(xué)方法在不同時代不同不意味著它隨著時間的推移而發(fā)展。故選C項。
【55題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)畫線部分的上文“Science is nt simple, and neither is the natural wrld; therein lies the challenge f science cmmunicatin. What we d is bth hard and, ften, hard t explain. Our effrts t understand and prtray the natural wrld are just that: effrts. Because we’re human (科學(xué)并不簡單,自然界也不簡單;這就是科學(xué)傳播的挑戰(zhàn)所在。我們所做的事情既困難又難以解釋。我們理解和描繪自然界的努力僅僅是努力。因為我們是人類)”可知,科學(xué)和自然界都不簡單,人類在理解和描繪自然界上面臨挑戰(zhàn),存在局限性。由此可知,我們經(jīng)常會失敗,畫線部分意思應(yīng)該與fail t achieve a gal“目標(biāo)達成失敗”意思相近。故選A項。
【56題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“Science is a prcess f learning and discvery, and smetimes we learn that what we thught was right is wrng. (科學(xué)是一個學(xué)習(xí)和發(fā)現(xiàn)的過程,有時我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)我們認(rèn)為正確的是錯誤的。)”、倒數(shù)第二段中“Science is nt simple, and neither is the natural wrld; therein lies the challenge f science cmmunicatin. What we d is bth hard and, ften, hard t explain. Our effrts t understand and prtray the natural wrld are just that: effrts. (科學(xué)并不簡單,自然界也不簡單;這就是科學(xué)傳播的挑戰(zhàn)所在。我們所做的事情既困難又難以解釋。我們理解和描繪自然世界的努力僅僅是努力。)”和最后一段中“Scientific theries are nt perfect cpies f reality, but we have gd reasn t believe that they capture significant elements f it. (科學(xué)理論并不是對現(xiàn)實的完美復(fù)制,但我們有充分的理由相信,它們捕捉到了現(xiàn)實的重要元素。)”可知,作者指出,人類在理解和描繪自然界上存在局限性,而且科學(xué)本身是學(xué)習(xí)和發(fā)現(xiàn)的過程,其中也會發(fā)生錯誤,但科學(xué)理論的確可以揭示現(xiàn)實的某些重要方面。由此可知,作者的觀點可能是“科學(xué)不能提供關(guān)于現(xiàn)實世界的絕對真理,但它使我們更接近真理”。故選B項。

What happened t the nble art f the manly cry?
One f ur mst firmly established ideas f masculinity (男子漢氣概) is that men dn’t cry. Althugh he might shed bitter tears at a funeral, a real man is expected t quickly regain cntrl. Crying penly is fr girls.
____57____ One study fund wman reprt crying five times mre ften than men d. S it’s perhaps surprising t learn that the gender gap in crying seems t be a recent develpment. Histrically, men rutinely wept. In dcuments f the Middle Ages, we find ambassadrs bursting int tears when addressing the king; in medieval rmances, knights cried because they missed their girlfriends. There’s n mentin f men trying t hld back their tears.
S where did all the male tears g? There was n anti-crying mvement. N leaders f church r state intrduced measures t discurage them. ____58____ Frm there, it was a shrt leap t the pker-faced heres f Ernest Hemingway, wh culdn’t express their grief by any means but drinking and shting buffal.
The mst bvius pssibility is that this shift is the result f changes that tk place as we mved frm an agricultural sciety t ne that was urban and industrial. In the Middle Ages, a typical village had nly a small number f inhabitants related by bld r marriage. ____59____ But frm the 18th century, the ppulatin became increasingly urbanized, and peple were living amid thusands f strangers. Furthermre, changes in the ecnmy required men t wrk tgether in factries and ffices where emtinal expressin was discuraged as time-wasting.
____60____ There’s reasn t believe that hlding back tears can be harmful t yur well-being. Research has suggested a link between stress-related illness and inadequate crying. S it might be better t return t the free-flwing tears f the past. When misfrtune strikes, feel free t cry until ur sleeves are saked.

【答案】57. F 58. A 59. C 60. E
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章分析了男人不哭泣的原因。
【57題詳解】
文章第一段講到男性很少哭泣。根據(jù)空格后的句子“One study fund wman reprt crying five times mre ften than men d.(一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn),女性哭泣的頻率是男性的五倍)”可知,F(xiàn)項“This isn’t just a scial expectatin; it’s a scientific fact.(這不僅僅是一種社會期望;這是一個科學(xué)事實)”填入空格處和下文是順接關(guān)系,F(xiàn)項中的scientific fact和下文的ne study fund是對應(yīng)的。故選F項。
【58題詳解】
根據(jù)空格后的句子“Frm there, it was a shrt leap t the pker-faced heres f Ernest Hemingway, wh culdn’t express their grief by any means but drinking and shting buffal.(從那時起,就有了歐內(nèi)斯特·海明威筆下那些面無表情的英雄,他們除了喝酒和射殺水牛之外,無法用任何方式表達自己的悲傷)”可知,空格處的句子應(yīng)該提到某一時期或地點,從那里開始發(fā)生了變化。所以,A項“Nevertheless, by the Rmantic perid, masculine tears were reserved fr pets.(然而,到了浪漫主義時期,男性的眼淚是留給詩人的)”填入空格處,符合語境,下文的frm there指的是A項中的the Rmantic perid。故選A項。
【59題詳解】
根據(jù)空格前的句子“In the Middle Ages, a typical village had nly a small number f inhabitants related by bld r marriage.(在中世紀(jì),一個典型的村莊只有少數(shù)有血緣或婚姻關(guān)系的居民)”可知,空格處的句子應(yīng)該提到在中世紀(jì)環(huán)境下,男人表達情感是什么情況,且與下文的變化“Furthermre, changes in the ecnmy required men t wrk tgether in factries and ffices where emtinal expressin was discuraged as time-wasting.(此外,經(jīng)濟的變化要求男人在工廠和辦公室里一起工作,在那里不鼓勵表達感情,認(rèn)為這是浪費時間)”形成對比,所以,C項“If men cried, they did s with peple wh wuld empathize.(如果男人哭,他們對感同身受的人這樣做)”填入空格處,符合語境。故選C項。
【60題詳解】
空格處是該段的主題句。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容“There’s reasn t believe that hlding back tears can be harmful t yur well-being. Research has suggested a link between stress-related illness and inadequate crying. S it might be better t return t the free-flwing tears f the past. When misfrtune strikes, feel free t cry until ur sleeves are saked. As the Old Testament has it: “They that sw in tears shall reap in jy.”(有理由相信忍住眼淚會對你的健康有害。研究表明,與壓力有關(guān)的疾病和哭泣不足之間存在聯(lián)系。因此,回到過去自由流動的淚水中可能會更好。當(dāng)不幸降臨的時候,盡情地哭,直到我們的袖子濕透。正如《舊約》所言:“含淚播種的,必歡喜收割?!?”可知,人們在該哭泣的時候,就應(yīng)該哭泣,哭泣是人類天生的。所以,E項“Yet human beings weren’t designed t swallw their emtins.(然而,人類并不是生來就能咽下自己的情緒的)”填入空格處,符合語境。故選E項。

N lnger d yu have t sit thrugh endless meetings r check email bsessively.
But wrk has many benefits. As the survey reveals, it gives peple a purpse in life. The first mnth f retirement may seem pleasant, but bredm is bund t fllw. Grand plans t learn languages and travel the wrld can quickly fall thrugh. Furthermre, the friendship f clleagues prvides a scial netwrk; spending all week at hme can lead t lneliness.
Of curse, many peple are wrking lnger nt because they enjy what they d, but because they cannt affrd t quit. Cmpanies have been phasing ut pensins linked t final salaries and wrkers end up with a pt f savings at retirement that needs t be reinvested. The incme frm such pts has been reduced by very lw interest rates. Therefre, they need t keep wrking.
Hwever, emplyers may be held back. One in three 55-t 65-year-lds in develped cuntries either lacks cmputer experience r cannt pass technlgy tests. Such deficits can be tackled with prper training, rganized by the gvernment r by cmpanies themselves s that the ver-55s can becme silver surfers as their livelihd may depend n that.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了在許多發(fā)達國家,勞動力人口正在老齡化,更多的55至64歲的人加入了勞動力大軍。盡管退休很有吸引力,但許多人仍然喜歡繼續(xù)工作更長的時間。工作可以給他們生活的目標(biāo)和社交網(wǎng)絡(luò),同時經(jīng)濟需求也是這一趨勢的驅(qū)動力。然而,缺乏計算機技能可能會阻礙老年工人的發(fā)展,因此需要適當(dāng)?shù)呐嘤?xùn)。
【詳解】1.要點摘錄
①Acrss the develped wrld, the wrkfrce nw cmes in varius shades f grey. Since2008, the average labr-frce participatin rate f 55-t 64-year-lds in develped cuntries has risen by eight percentage pints.

2.縝密構(gòu)思
文章第一段講述勞動力老齡化的現(xiàn)狀;第二段講述許多人喜歡繼續(xù)工作更長的時間;第三段講述工作帶來的好處;第四段講述人們不得不繼續(xù)工作的經(jīng)濟原因;第五段講述老年工人缺乏計算機技能的問題及解決辦法。將第二段和第三段整合為一點,即許多人喜歡繼續(xù)工作,因為工作帶來好處;將第四段和第五段整合為一點,即許多人不得不繼續(xù)工作,因為他們負(fù)擔(dān)不起退休的費用,而且老年工人缺乏計算機技能,需要適當(dāng)?shù)呐嘤?xùn)。
3.遣詞造句
The wrkfrce in develped cuntries is aging. Many enjy wrking lnger despite retirement's appeal because wrk prvides benefits. Financial needs als drive this trend as many cannt affrd t quit, and lack f cmputer skills may hinder lder wrkers, requiring prper training.

[高分句型2] Many enjy wrking lnger despite retirement’s appeal because wrk prvides benefits. 這句話使用了despite表示轉(zhuǎn)折,同時,because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句也清晰地解釋了人們喜歡繼續(xù)工作的原因。表達非常高級。

62. 我剛剛沖出教室,這時腳下一滑,重重地摔了一跤。(hardly)(漢譯英)
_________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Hardly had I rushed ut f the classrm when I slipped and fell heavily.
【解析】
【詳解】考查倒裝句和固定句型。根據(jù)句中的“剛剛……這時……”可知,這里用句型,主句一般用過去完成時,從句用一般過去時,hardly位于句首時,主句使用部分倒裝,將助動詞had提到主語之前;“沖出”可表示為rush ut f;“教室”可表示為classrm;“腳下一滑”可表示為slip,為不及物動詞;“重重地摔了一跤”可表示為fall heavily。故本句可翻譯為:Hardly had I rushed ut f the classrm when I slipped and fell heavily.
63. 在陽光明媚的午后,沒有什么比呆在寢室里打個盹更愜意的事情了。(than)(漢譯英)
_________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】There’s nthing better than taking a nap in yur drm n a sunny afternn.
【解析】
【詳解】考查比較級,固定句型,時態(tài)和主謂一致。根據(jù)句意可知,句子描述客觀事實,時態(tài)用一般現(xiàn)在時,“沒有什么”用there be句型,翻譯為There’s nthing,“比……更愜意”是better than,“打個盹”是take a nap,用動名詞taking作賓語,“呆在寢室里”是in yur drm,“在陽光明媚的午后”是n a sunny afternn,因此整句話翻譯為There’s nthing better than taking a nap in yur drm n a sunny afternn.
64. 盡管本季度金價一路飆升,但絲毫沒有打消消費者對黃金飾品的購買熱情。(discurage)(漢譯英)
_________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Despite the fact that the price f gld has sared this quarter, it has nt discuraged cnsumers’ enthusiasm fr purchasing gld jewelry.
【解析】
【詳解】考查短語、時態(tài)和同位語從句。陳述過去事情對現(xiàn)在影響,用現(xiàn)在完成時?!按蛳呈隆庇枚陶Zdiscurage sth.;“盡管本季度金價一路飆升”翻譯為despite the fact that the price f gld has sared this quarter,名詞fact后接that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句對其進行解釋說明;“消費者的熱情”用cnsumers’ enthusiasm,“對黃金飾品的購買”用介詞+動名詞結(jié)構(gòu),表示為fr purchasing gld jewelry。結(jié)合其他漢語提示,故翻譯為Despite the fact that the price f gld has sared this quarter, it has nt discuraged cnsumers’ enthusiasm fr purchasing gld jewelry.
65. 這款角色扮演類游戲視覺效果逼真,互動體驗絕佳,自發(fā)布以來便贏得了業(yè)內(nèi)人士和玩家們的高度贊揚。(characterize)(漢譯英)
_________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】This rle-playing game characterizes realistic visual effects and excellent interactive experience, and has wn high praise frm industry insiders and players since its release.
【解析】
【詳解】考查動詞、名詞和形容詞。根據(jù)中文提示可知,表示“這款角色扮演類游戲視覺效果逼真,互動體驗絕佳”應(yīng)用句子This rle-playing game characterizes realistic visual effects and excellent interactive experience,其中This rle-playing game (這款角色扮演類游戲),為主語;characterizes(使……具有特點),為謂語,時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時表客觀情況; realistic visual effects and excellent interactive experience(視覺效果逼真,互動體驗絕佳),為名詞短語作賓語;表示“自發(fā)布以來便贏得了業(yè)內(nèi)人士和玩家們的高度贊揚”應(yīng)用句子and has wn high praise frm industry insiders and players since its release,其中has wn(贏得了),為謂語動詞,時態(tài)用現(xiàn)在完成時強調(diào)對現(xiàn)在的影響;high praise (高度贊揚),為賓語;frm industry insiders and players(業(yè)內(nèi)人士和玩家們的),為介詞短語作定語;since its release(自發(fā)布以來),為介詞短語作狀語。故翻譯為This rle-playing game characterizes realistic visual effects and excellent interactive experience, and has wn high praise frm industry insiders and players since its release.
