4、 of different academic studies, especially those “all rounders“ with no particular interest. They should have longer time to decide in what subject they want to take their degrees, so that in later life, they do not look back and say, “I should like to have been an archaeologist. If I hadnt taken a

There is no doubt that gardens evidence an impossible urge to create, express, fashion, and beautify and that self-expression is a basic human urge;【F1 】Yet when one looks at the photographs of the gardens created by the homeless, it strikes one that, for all

10、their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative expression.One of these urges had to do with creating a state of peace in the midst of turbulence, a “still point of the turning world,“ to borrow a phrase from T. S. Eliot.【F2】A

11、 sacred place of peace, however crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed to shelter, which is a distinctly animal need.

At the beginning of century songbirds were supposed to be disappearing.【F1 】Scientists jumped to the rescue with some distinctly shaky evidenc

19、e to the effect that insects would eat us up if birds failed to control them. The evidence had to be economic in order to be valid.It is painful to read these roundabout accounts today. We have no land ethic yet,【F2】but we have at least drawn near the point of admitting that birds should continue as

It assumes, fa

27、bilities 作后置定语，修饰先行词 the course。翻译该从句时应将真正的主语内容译出。 2 【正确答案】 如果一个学生读大学是为了获得对生活前景更广泛的认识，为了拓宽思想境界和学会独立思考，那么毫无疑问，大学是对他有好处的。【试题解析】 本句考查的重点是：不定式作状语的译法。 本句是一个简单的主从复合句。句首为 if 引导的条件状语从句，主句为 he will undoubtedly benefit。条件句的主干为 If a student goes to university，三个并列的不定式结构作目的状语：to acquire，toenlarge，and to learn。

28、3 【正确答案】 学校由于受课程表和纪律的约束，气氛往往令人感到过于拘束，使学生没有充分时间对于规定他做的事有独立的见解。【试题解析】 本句考查的重点是：tooto结构的用法。 除了用于“too+形容词或副词+to do sth”外，也可用于 “too+形容词+aan+单数可数名词+to do sth”。句末为较长的不定式结构 to allow作结果状语。almosphere 和不定式之间插入的介词短语 with its time tables and disciplines 作状语，根据语义，可以译为汉语的原因状语。 4 【正确答案】 我认为大多数学生，尤其是那些不偏重于某一个课程的“全面发

29、展的学生”，经过一年左右的时间对各门不同学科的钻研，将会从中获益。【试题解析】 本句考查的重点是：宾语从句和介词短语的译法。 exploration 意为“探测，探索”，这里根据与 academic studies 的搭配，译为“钻研”；all rounder意为“多面手”，根据上下文译为“全面发展的学生”。该句的插入语部分 I believe可放在句子最前面，从而看成“主谓句+宾语从句”的句型，译为：我认为。宾语从句的主干是 Most students would profit by，介词短语 by a year ofstudies 做方式状语，修饰 profit，译为 “通过经过”。句末

32、d by，后一个是 spend time doing sth的结构。分词结构 emerging with a firstclass Honour Degree and very little knowledge of作结果状语，由于该部分较长，可单独译成一句。句末名词从句 what the rest of the world is all about 作介词 of 的宾语。8 【正确答案】 因此，有一个问题愈显重要，那就是如果要学生好好利用他们上大学的机会，就应该为他们提供大量关于课程方面更为详细的信息和更多的指导。【试题解析】 本句考查的重点是：形式主语和条件状语从句。 该句的主干是 It

41、gnized as members of the native forestcommunity，这里的“are recognized”是被动语态，处理被动语态时候注意翻译技巧中主被动的转化。本句的开头是 where 引导的定语从句，to be preserved 用来修饰 non-commercial tree species。within reason 的意思是“合情合理，在情理之中”。 18 【正确答案】 这一体系往往忽视并最终消灭很多陆地生物群落的物种，它们缺乏商业价值，但对整个生物群落的健康运行却至关重要。【试题解析】 本句考查的重点是：定语从句的译法。 本句的主干是 It tends to ignore many elements，句中的两个 that 引导的从句在语义上构成转折关系，结构上属于两个并列的定语从句，修饰 the land community。本句还有插入语、定语从句以及代词，在处理翻译时应注意正常的语序。
