11、 Pew Research Centre of Washington, DC, shows that people in emerging markets are within a whisker of expressing the same level of satisfaction as people in rich countries. It is the biggest qualification to the standard view of happiness and income seen so far. The Pew poll asks respondents to meas

26、分数：25.00）解析：thea解析 冠词误用。the second language的意思是“第二种语言”，表示特指，不符合句意，而a second language的意思是“另一种语言”，表示泛指，符合句意。该句的意思是“很少有美国人懂得另一种语言”，故将the改为a。解析：regarddisregard解析 语义错误。前文提到很少有美国人懂得另一种语言，可知该处的句意为“美国人忽视学习语言的重要性”，故将regard改为disregard。解析：to to 解析 介词冗余。该句的意思是“他们已经建立了理论并设想好了解决方案”。solution to sth. 表示“的解决方案”，to

27、后需接宾语，而此处solutions作posited的宾语，其后不用带to，故将to去掉。解析：aswhile解析 连词误用。该处前后句的意思分别是“小学中外语教授减少的现象主要出现在公立小学里”和“私立小学外语教授的比例还大致保持在51%的水平”。这两句话的逻辑关系为对比，故将as改为while。解析：samethe解析 冠词缺失。该处句意为“私立小学教授外语的比例还大致保持在51%的水平”，表示“和一样”应该用the same，故在same前加上定冠词the。解析：havehas解析 主谓不一致。该句的主语为the percentage，其为单数形式，谓语动词也应该用第三人称单数形式，故将

28、have改为has。解析：conductingconducted解析 非谓语动词误用。a nationwide survey和conduct之间为动宾关系，且后面出现了by.。过去分词作后置定语表示被动含义，故将conducting改为conducted。解析：thesethose解析 代词误用。who speak another native language为定语从句，先行词为代词的复数形式时，通常用those来指代，故将these改为those。解析：developedhave解析 时态错误。根据前文中的时间状语Since 1962，可推测该句时态应该为现在完成时，因此需加上助动词，且主

29、语programs为复数形式，故在developed前加上have。解析：inof解析 固定搭配中的介词误用。as of为固定搭配，意思是“直至，到时候为止”，故将介词in改为of。二、PART TRANSLATION(总题数：1，分数：12.50)1.“假若我再上一次大学”，多少年来我曾反复思考过这个问题。我曾一度得到两个截然相反的答案：一个是最好不要再上大学，“知识越多越反动”，我实在心有余悸。一个是仍然要上，而且偏偏还要学现在学的这一套。后一个想法最终占了上风，一直到现在。我为什么还要上大学而又偏偏要学现在这一套呢?没有什么堂皇的理由。我只不过觉得，我走过的这一条道路，对己，对人，都还有

Though evidence from opinion-polls and watertight studies chants time and again the merits of wealth which can ensure our very basic necessities such as food and accommodation, beyond the point of offering us a comfortable life, money can do much less than we expect. Money may well buy bling bling but it cant buy beauty; money can bring medicine to our door but it cant buy health; money can even materialize marriage but
