1.By practicing these, I have been able to _____________ (在智育方面我一直能不断进步).
答案: make constant progress in intellectual education
解析:“不断进步”是指不断取得进步,“取得进步”用短语make progress。“不断”应选择constant。“在智育方面”作状语置于句末。
2.According to a recent survey, four million people ______________ (死于与吸烟有关的疾病)each year.
答案: die of diseases linked to smoking
解析:本句意为“由最近调查显示,每年有400万人死于与吸烟有关的疾病”。“死于……”既可以用短语die of也可以用die from,但考生应注意两者用法上的区别。“与……相关”可以选用related to,associated with,linked to。
3..______________(没有一项发明获得如此多的表扬和批评)than Internet.
答案: No invention has received more praise and abuse
解析:本题考点是关于“没有……比……更……”的表达,前后比较的是物——“其他发明”与“因特网”。它的基本结构是:no + sth. …more than…。也可以用于人的比较,如:Of all the people I know, perhaps none deserves my respect more than Miss Chang, my English teacher.
4.An increasing number of people are beginning to realize ______________ (教育不能随着毕业而结束).
答案: that education is not complete with graduation
解析:“随着……而结束/终结”要用be complete/ end with sth.,采用的是词性转换法。将句中的动词“结束”转换成英语里的形容词complete。当然,如果大家译成动词end也是可以的,即:that education cannot end with graduation。另外,本句需填入的是一个从句,因此不能遗漏that。
5.I replied to her that _______________ (我将会接受她的邀请).
答案: I would accept her invitation
解析:本题考点一是时态的一致。由于前半句时态是replied,因此“将要”应译为would。本题考点二是“接受”的英文表达。accept和receive都有表示接受的意思。receive指客观已经发生的情况。它只表明事实上收到某物而不管接受者主观上是否愿意接受。如:My father received a letter this morning. 而accept带有主动或赞许的意味,表示不但收下某物,而且内心也同意接受。如:Please accept my little present.下面这句话可以帮助大家分清两个词的使用域:He received an invitation yesterday but he did not accept it.(他昨天收到一份邀请,但却没有接受。)
