Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
 Ascientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.

If an economist as asked which of three groups borrow most—people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes—he would probably answer:those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947—1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increase may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. “In a few months,” she said, “we’ll have to pay more for meat and milk; we’ll have less to spend on other things.” Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented and buyer’s resistance may be evoked.

The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conductive to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.

21.If a scientist wants to study consumer behavior, what must he do?
A) He must predict the way in which consumers will spend their money.

B) He must do scientific research.
C) He must know background of customers.
D) He must do research and learn the resources and motives of customers.

22.Which of the following groups borrow money most according to
traditional assumption?
A) People with rising incomes.
B) People with stable incomes.
C) People with declining incomes.
D) None of the above.

23.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to
the passage?
A) Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always
reliable.
B) The condition that most helps to produce spending appears to be price rising.
C) Maintaining stable prices is a common business policy.
D) The results of the investigation in America were not the same as
those in Great Britain.

24.The research survey in America have showed that when the
prices rise, ____.
A) people will hasten to buy
B) people will stop buying
C) people will postpone their purchase
D) people will buy more than they can use

25.The saving and spending patterns in America are ____ those at the same time in Britain.
A) different from C) the same as
B) much better than D) much worse than

Questions 26 to 30 are
based on the following passage.
In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising
five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On
the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to,
making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The breakup of the family occurs when the parents divorce. A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care for the children’s emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parent’s own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship. The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs indicate that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining. The rate of childbirth is rising. Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.

26.In the past, American families tended to be ____.
A) quite small C) quite large
B) medium sized D) small


27. To parents who take the responsibility for children’s
expenses, the cost of living increases because ____.
A) children attend school for more years
B) children are better dressed
C) children spend more money on entertainment
D) all of the above
28.What problems would broken families bring to both children
and parents?
A) Children grow up feeling unsettled and parents didn’t pay much attention to children.
B) Children grow up feeling free and one parent is responsible for raising the children.
C) Children are moved back and forth between parents and the single parent is busy working to make money to support himself/herself.
D) Children grow up feeling unsettled, and the parents have little
time for his/her own interests because one parent is too busy taking care
of children.

29.According to the author, the situations of American families
in the future may ____.
A) become worse C) get better
B) remain the same D) keep unchanged
30.The title of the article might be ____.
A) American Children C) American Mother
B) American Families D) American Parents

Questions 31 to 35 are
based on the following passage:
Albert Schweitzer was born in 1875 in Alsace. At that time, it was a part of
Germany. His generous spirit was first awakened through his training as a Lutheran minister. Besides gaining a reputation as a preacher, he also became respected for his ability to play the organ. He was a man of many talents. His concern for other people turned his attention to medicine. He had also acquired doctoral degrees in philosophy and music. His wife took an interest in medicine too and became a nurse. Many people thought that he should remain and lecture
in Europe to have a strong impact on Western civilization. Though he listened to their suggestions, he ultimately decided to follow his own conscience. This led him to Africa. Albert had felt that all men should accept the responsibility of helping others. He felt particularly concerned for black Africans who had been exploited by white men. He earned the money he needed by performing on the organ and by lecturing. With this money he bought equipment and opened a hospital in Africa. He was a man of great strength who faced great problems with courage. The threat of war, the reality of imprisonment during World War, one as a German citizen, and the unbearable heat in Africa did not deter him at all. He believed that man could overcome these obstacles if he had a sense of idealism. He died in 1965.

C) taking care of sick people, fighting as a soldier, lecturing
D) giving concert, making equipment, helping others
33.In spite of people’s suggestions, Albert decided to go to
Africa ____.
A) because he was born there
B) because he wanted to help others particularly black Africans who had
been exploited by white men
C) because he wanted to give a concert to African people
D) because he wanted to make money there
34.Why did the author think he was a man of great strength?
A) He always faced great problems with courage.
B) The threat of war and the reality of imprisonment during World War
didn’t discourage him.
C) The unbearable heat in Africa did not deter him at all.
D) All of the above.
35.Albert Schweitzer lived to be ____.
A) 70 years old C) 90 years oldB) 80 years old
D) 100 years old

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people aresimilar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are atleast customary and undisputed.

Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently
and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the nonmaterial, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements
rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.

Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it
comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies ( 一分为二). This is one reason why change has not come
more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,
because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.

36.What kind of society tends to promote social changes?
A) A society where people are similar in many ways.
B) A society where there are only white people.
C) A society where there are only black people.
D) A society where there is a mixture of different kinds of people.
37.In a mixed society, there may be disagreement in ____.
A) ideas C) beliefs
 B) interests D) all of the above
38.Which of the following is not true, according to the passage?
A) Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society.
B) Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were old.
C) Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to promote
social change.
D) Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society.
39.Social change is less likely to occur in a society where
people are quite similar in many ways because ____.
A) people there are easy to please
B) people there are less argumentary
C) people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to change
D) people there have same needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty

答案部分


Part Ⅰ

1. 答案D。
【试题分析】 本题为间接推理题,需弄清谈话中所涉及的人
物之间的关系进行简单推理

【详细解答】听力播放之前,考生应迅速浏览四个选项,这
样可以对即将听到的内容有所
了解。如本题由选项推测,谈话将涉及到“谁要去巴黎”和“去巴黎看谁”的问题,带着问
题去听,不难抓住关键句子:Sarah的母亲去巴黎看她哥哥。据此可以判断她的哥哥在巴黎

2. 答案C。
【试题分析】 本题为间接推理题,需抓住关键词语及问题要
求。
【关键词语】 doorbell,ringing
【详细解答】 这是回答what的题,注意题目问的是男方要女
方做什么,而不是女方正在
做什么,如果不仔细,很容易误选A。
【作者建议】本题其实不难。但是考生必须集中精力,千万
不要因前一题的关系而漏听
了本题的第一句话,否则很难作出正确的判断。
3. 答案C。
【试题分析】 本题为人物关系推测题。
【详细解答】 这是一个询问说话人关系的题。当听到第一句
Can I help you?人们自然想
到服务行业的人,继续听下去才能搞清说话人之间对话的焦点,做这类似的题时,很多情况下
必须注意抓听某些关键词。
4. 答案C。
【试题分析】 本题为情景推测题。
【关键词语】 tables,near the bar
【详细解答】 这是回答谈话发生的地点Where的题,注意抓
住关键词table和near the ba
r (吧台;卖酒柜台)由此可以推断对话发生在餐厅。
【作者建议】本题亦可用排除法。
5. 答案B。
【试题分析】 本题为一般推理题。
【关键词语】 party,tonight, drive you over
【详细解答】 此题要注意的问题是:Mary今晚会做什么?第一句话,Mary说今晚的晚会
上该做什么她不能决定,如果听懂了此句加上问题就不难作出推测,B可能是正确答案。根据the man的话,再运用排除法,A错在是man开车而不是Mary自己,句中“drive you over”是“开车送你去”的意思。C、D均错在Mary要做的是参加party而不是看朋友,也不是去戏院。
6. 答案B。
【试题分析】 本题为测试时间题。
【详细解答】 由选项得知,此题需辨别某事发生的时间。对
这类题,考生必须边听边稍
作记录。男方想和Johnson先生有个约会,这种正式的会面一般与当事人秘书约定时间,此
题即为某先生与Johnson先生的女秘书之间的谈话,听时注意分清几个时间点。听到Woman的话的同时,迅速要地记下“get here 9:00 a.m., free for 10 or 10:20”男方又说他愿意在Johnson先生一来就见他,再看选项,首先很容易排除C。再据as soon as来排除1020,这里很容易误选为A。但是秘书说Johnson先生到后要休息10分钟再办公,所以答案应为9:10 a.m.。
【作者建议】考生在作简单记录时,应尽量简单明了,像数
词最好用阿拉伯数字,in the morning用a.m.代替,10 表示ten minutes等等。
7. 答案C。
【试题分析】 此题为判断是非题。
【关键词语】 dull
【详细解答】 此题要清楚Man是否喜欢他自己的推销员工作
,为什么?同时要明白dull与
boring是近义词,都表示“乏味”。谈话译文:W:“我从你的申请表得知你当了两年的推
销员,为什么你现在想换工作?”M:“我发现这工作很乏味。”问:此人喜欢当推销
员吗?此题听出关键词dull就很容易做对了。
8. 答案D。
【试题分析】 此题考查谈话内容的细节。
【详细解答】 听音前迅速浏览选项,应该清楚要求是回答“
谁在做什么”的问题。不要
一听到A的内容就划勾,因为A、B、C、D都是表示“正在做什么”且各不相同时,很有可能四个选项在谈话中都会出现,不一定按顺序,所以听音时一定要一边认真听一边作记录,眼睛要注意到A、B、C、D四个选项,听到Doing his homework时,在A后写上“Jack”,听到watching TV时在C后注上“Mary”,依次在D“ringing his girlfriend”后标明“Dick”,在B“playing with his dog”后写上Ben。问题也是关键,否则前面的记录作得再好,如果没听出问题就太冤枉了。当然,如果听清楚了问题要求,又对会话内容作了记录,就不会混淆人物跟事件的关系了。
9. 答案D。
【试题分析】 此题为句意理解题。
【关键词语】 brush up
【详细解答】 此题关键在于听清brush up my notes。brush
up意为study or practise
“温习,复习”。
10. 答案B。
【试题分析】 此题为推理题。
【关键词语】 drop you off
【详细解答】 由选项得知,此题应该回答乘何种交通工具的
问题。The woman (Joan) is going to the theatre ,但她觉得自己开车太累,乘公共汽车又不舒服,The man说他可以替她省出租车费,在上班途中让她下车。如果听清了这句话,又听清楚了问题:the man如何去上班,就不难选出答案B,其中词组drop sb. off意为“停车让某人下车”。

②不要急于动笔填写答案。如果听第一遍时就动笔填写,注意力集中在手上,势必忽略听
下文,加之录音语速较快,漏听了内容会造成被动局面,很难弥补。所以第一遍最好集中注
意力听懂,在第二遍专门给的时间里填写。
③提高书写速度适当采用缩写,听完后再补充完整。
11. 答案Poverty。
【试题分析】 此题考查单词拼写及对本文大意的了解。
【详细解答】 这是本文第一句话,也是统领全文的句子,由
上下文得知此处该填的是名
词。如果一时不知Poverty(贫穷)如何拼写,则可写下大致读音或可能的拼写方式,听完时
你会发现最后一句话中出现了该词,这是做题的技巧之一。其实有时需填的词甚至会在试卷
的别的部分出现,所以如果一时没能准确地拼写,不要停在此题思考。否则既浪费了时间,
又耽误了听下文内容。
12. 答案profession。
【试题分析】 此题考查对句意的理解及单词拼写。
【详细解答】 此空格该填名词,整句意思是他(教师)属于报
酬差的职业。profession这个词比较长,如果来不及,最好先写上“pro”,等有充足时间再补上,这也是速记的技巧。其实第四句话中便又出现了这个词。
13. 答案paid。
【试题分析】 此题为语义理解题。
【详细解答】 根据本句句子结构,此空需填某动词的过去分
词,因为第一,前面有“is”,第二,后面有副词短语“as little”修饰,整句意思是:他不能象工人一样生活,穿着不讲究。但他有时却和不需要技术的体力劳动者一样工资低下。
14. 答案labourer。
【试题分析】 此题考简单的构词法及对句意的理解。
【详细解答】 如果前一部分中听出了workman(工人),后一
部分就能迅速听懂labour一词
,在动词labour后加-er后缀便成为名词,意为“劳动者”尤指需要力气而非技巧的体力劳动者,unskilled意为“不需要技术的”。
15. 答案average。
【试题分析】 此题考查单词拼写和句意理解。
【详细解答】 本文前部分是讲在职业的高位有某些奖励,但
大多数普通老师通常不可能有
此待遇。average并不是陌生词,但要拼写无误。
16. 答案a life of respectable poverty。
【试题分析】 此题考查句意理解和速记能力。
【详细解答】 要听懂此短语是一个所有格的名词短语(即一
种贫穷的生活);同时听者要
能迅速明白respectable的意义,通常我们认为老师虽穷,但他们仍是令人尊敬的,所以本
文称为令人尊敬的贫穷。另外,句中的“be resigned to ”为固定词组,意为“be ready
to accept or endure uncomplainingly”(听任,顺从)。
【作者建议】当所填的不仅仅是一个单词时,需要记下其中
的表示句子意思的主要单词
,第三遍核对时再补上或听完听力之后再迅速补上。
17. 答案a symbol of success。
【试题分析】 此题为考单词拼写。
【详细解答】 这也是带所有格的名词短语。结构虽简单,但
要正确听出写出symbol“象
征, 标志” 一词, 同时不要将success 写成succeed。
18. 答案 it is always painful。
【关键词语】painful
19. 答案there will always be young people who need teaching。
【试题分析】 此题既考句子语法结构,又考速记能力。
【详细解答】 此题属复合句,听者要抓住there is句型,同
时还要听出定语从句修饰young people;明白这两点就比较容易写出整句,因为此句所含单词都是听者极熟悉的词,而且跟前半句“The job is secure”(这份工作很稳定)结合在一起考虑要听出后半句(即工作稳定的原因)就很容易“因为总会有需要受教育的年轻人”。在定语从句who need teaching中,动名词teaching作need的宾语,相当于to be taught这是高中学过的语法。
20. 答案whom we remember with hatred。
【试题分析】 此题考查句子语法结构及单词拼写。
【关键词语】 Whom, hatred
【详细解答】 所写部分在整句中是一个定语从句,由whom引
导,关键词hatred是hate的
名词形式。

短文大意

一个科学家如果要研究经济心理学,要预测消费者花钱的方式,必须研究消费者的行为表
现。假如问及某经济学家这样一个问题——收入较高的,收入稳定的和收入较低的人当中,
谁最爱借钱——他很可能回答后者,而事实上1947——1950年间调查表明是前者——收入较
高的人,这表明传统的关于收支的假设并不一定可靠。另一传统假设认为价格上涨时,人们
会迅速购买。人们同时在美国和英国对此进行了调查,其结果不大相同,但都似乎表明保持
价格稳定这一常见的商业政策是建立在正确理解消费者心理的基础上的。
21.答案D。
【参考译文】 如果一个科学家要研究消费者行为,他必须研
究消费者的经济来源和消费
动机。
【试题分析】 本题考查对长句子的理解。
【详细解答】 这是一个寻找具体信息的题。见第一句话:“
一个科学家要研究经济心理学
,要预测顾客花钱的方式,必须研究顾客行为。”第二句话说明了如何研究的。“他必须获得
两手资料,一是消费者的财力,二是消费者的动机。”显然本题选D最为合适。
22.答案C。
【参考译文】 根据传统假设(观念),下面哪组人最爱借钱?
【试题分析】 本题为寻找并区分具体信息题。
【详细解答】 做本题时要仔细区分文中提到了两种说法,一
种是传统认识, 一种是1947—1950年的回答。本题问的是传统认为,根据文章第二段第一句话应选C:“一般认为收入偏低的人越爱借钱。”如果是问从1947—1950 年的答案来看,则应选A,在那段时间收入高的人最爱借钱。
23.答案B。
【参考译文】 根据本文内容,以下哪种说法不对?
【试题分析】 本题为判断正误题。
【详细解答】 此题既可用直接法也可用排除法。如用直接法
, 从最后一段中间一句可以
找到答案。文章谈到“有助于消费的情况是价格稳定,”而B却说是“价格增长” 与文章说
法不一致,故选B。如用排除法,A说“传统关于收支说法不总是可靠的”,可在第二段中间找
到答案。C说“ 保持价格平稳是常见的商业政策”可在最后一句找到答案。D项较难判断。
文中第二段说调查表明传统说法与现在调查不相符,在第三段开头说明了这是美国情况。然
后下一句又说英国调查却与传统说法相符,因此我们可以说英,美的结果不相同。 既然A,C,D
均能从文中找到根据,自然B便是答案了。
24.答案C。
【参考译文】 美国研究统计表明,价格上涨时,人们会延迟
购买。
【试题分析】 此题为寻找并理解具体信息题。
【详细解答】 此题问当价格上涨时,人们会怎样。 文中通过
机械师一家的表现回答了这
个问题。机械师一家本准备购买一辆新车,但他们延迟了购买。 用他太太的话说:“几个月
后我们将花更多的钱买肉和牛奶, 但其他方面花的钱却要少些了。”这说明当价格上涨时,
人们会推迟购物,故选C。
25.答案A。
【参考译文】 在储蓄和消费模式方面,美国与英国在同一时
期是否相同。
【试题分析】 此题为间接推理题。
【详细解答】 回答此题的中间项是关于收入和消费的传统看
法。 美国的调查结果与传统
说法不相符,而英国却一致,因此美国和英国的调查结果是不同的, 至于说到哪好哪坏,文中
没有提到,故此题选A。

这是一篇人物介绍,Albert Schweitzer(1875—1965),出生于阿尔萨斯(当时属德国),
他是有名的传教士,且因为他能演奏风琴而受到人们的尊敬。他很有才干,关心别人,这使
他开始注意医学。他获得了哲学和音乐的博士学位,他的妻子也对医学感兴趣而成为护士。
许多人都建议他在欧洲传教,但他最终还是决定去了非洲,他认为每人都有责任帮助别人。
他尤其关心受白人剥削的黑人,他自己挣钱购买设备并在非洲开了一家医院。战争的威胁,
作为德国公民在世界大战期间会被关押的现实,非洲难以忍受的酷热都丝毫未能阻碍他。
31.答案C。
【参考译文】 Albert Schweitzer是位人道主义者。
【试题分析】 此题为推理题。
【详细解答】 此题最好用排除法。Albert善于演奏风琴,而
不是钢琴,因此A 不对。他出
生于Alsace属德国一部分,而不是非洲人,所以B不对。 他妻子是护士,而他不是,D也不对,C
说他是人道主义者,与文章意思相符。
32.答案B。
【参考译文】 他在……方面有才干。
【试题分析】 此题为细节题。
【详细解答】 此题用排除法比较好。从文章得知, 他的妻子
是自己对医学感兴趣而成为
了一名护士。A说他训练妻子成为护士就不对了。C中称他“ 作为战士战斗”,文中没提到。
事实上他是用钱买设备,而不是make equipment, 且帮助他人也不应算作是才干,天才范畴,
故D不对。B项中的三点在文章第四句,第六句,倒数第六句都提到了,所以选B。
33.答案B。
【参考译文】 尽管人们建议(他在欧洲传教),但他决定去非
洲……。
【试题分析】 此题考查文章细节及对全文的理解。
【详细解答】 从文中倒数第七句话来看,Albert感到有责任
帮助他人,尤其是关心
受白人剥削的非洲黑人,所以B项正确。A错在他出生在德国而不是非洲,C他在非洲举办过
音乐会是为了购买设备和建医院帮助他人, 但举办音乐会并不是他去非洲的目的,D称他去非
洲是为了挣钱就更不对了。
34.答案D。

在一个社会中,如果人们在很多方面很相似,那么社会变革就不容易发生;因为在这样的
社会中,很少有变革的需要和机会。相反地如果一个社会中人们在很多方面都各不相同,即
在一个混合型的社会里,社会变革就更容易发生,因为混合人种的社会在观点、兴趣和信仰
方面有更多的分歧。而这种分歧或争论促进社会变革。
类似地,在同一社会内部,社会变革在物质文化方面比非物质文化方面更容易发生;而且
社会变革更容易逐渐地进行。
36.答案D。
【参考译文】 哪种社会容易发生社会变革?

社会变革, 所以C 是对的, 第二自然段第五行说得很清楚,social change is also likely to occur in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society.显然社会变革在社会的基本和情感方面会遇到更多的困难。 因此只有B是不对的。 第二自然段的中间也指出Social change is likely to occur in what has been learned lately in life rather than what was learned early. B的说法正好与此相反。

根据空白后的宾语bricks,
可排除被动形式的being made,又根据过去分词短语用作状语, 很多都说明动作发生的背景

【试题分析】 此题为语法题,考查倒装句及助动词need的用
法。
【详细解答】 此题有两个考点:①表示否定意义的little放
在句首时,应使用倒装句式
,将相应的助词(或be动词)提到主语前面。②need这个词既可以作实义动词,后接动词不
定式,也可作助动词,后接动词原形作谓语,后者尤其用于否定句中,而且need作为助动词
跟其他助动词一样,可以提到主语前面,也可直接加not构成否定句。根据此句倒装要求,A
是正确的,B项错,后面应加to,因为如果将did提前则表示need是实义动词,后接动dwell时,应用need to do的形式,另外句中“dwell on”意思是“细思,详述”。

数目。
【试题分析】 此题考查动词remember的搭配。

动名词表示“ 记得做过某事
”;用不定式表示“记得去做某件事。” 本句意思是“ 我记得那件工作别人已付了钱给我,
但具体多少我已忘了。” “我”与“付钱”是被动关系, 应用被动形式,所以选B。 D中的receive是收到的意思, 应用主动语态形式“receiving pay”。

是否定意义,助动词是第三人称单数形式does,所以选B。D 错在too( 也) 不能用于否定句。

样。
【试题分析】 此题为语法题,考查while的用法。
【详细解答】 while在这里的意思是although(虽然)。除此
之外while 作连词还可以表示
“当……时候”,或“而(whereas)”。

Part Ⅳ
71.【参考译文】 一个科学家如果要研究经济心理学,要预测消费者花钱的方式,
必须研究消费者的行为表现。
【翻译技巧】 此题需用溶合法(即把原句中的主语与定语从句溶合在一起译成一个独立句
子的方法)和前置法(即把从句译成带有“的”字的定语词组,放在被修饰词之前,从而将复
合句译成汉语单句的方法),此外还要注意兼有状语职能的定语从句的翻译方法。
【翻译点评】 本句结构比较复杂,主句的主语A scientist(①)带有两个并列的定语从句who does research in economic psychology(②)和who wants to…their money(③),而后一个定语从句的宾语the way又带有自己的定语从句in which consumers…their money(④),主句的谓语是must study(⑤),宾语是consumer behaviour(⑥)。弄清本句结构后,不难发现两个并列的定语从句之间在逻辑上有条件关系,所以可以加上“如果”;另外,主语A scientist与定语从句溶合在一起来译,更符合汉语习惯,否则,译成“想要研究……而且要预测……的一个科学家”就太瞥脚了。
72.【参考译文】 人们同时在英国进行了调查,结果表明其储蓄和消费模
式与传统的假定一致。
【翻译技巧】 长句短译法、增词法、词类转换法。
【翻译点评】 翻译时,有时会碰到一个较长的句子,通常是并列或复合句,而从汉语的表达
方式来看,往往句子比较短。因此对较长的句子,有时可以把从句,短语分开翻译,可适当地增
加一些词,译成相对独立的短句, 也就是所谓的长句短译。
73.【参考译文】 这些单亲父母必须关心孩子们的情感和心理的需求,同
时还得从经济上资助他们。
【翻译技巧】 分句法(把分词短语译成句子)。
【翻译点评】 while可以表明“当……之时”,“而且”的意思,在此句中它表示两个同
时发生的动作,因此可将后面的分词短语译成与前面部分相并列的句子。
74.【参考译文】 战争的威胁,作为德国公民在世界大战期间会被关押的
现实, 非洲难以忍受的酷热都丝毫未能阻碍他。
【翻译技巧】 本句使用“语序调整法”,并根据上下文推测
词义。
【翻译点评】 此句翻译时有两点值得注意:第一,主语是相并列的几个名词性短语;第二,
要推测deter的意思。 从此句的前一句“他充满勇气地面对一些巨大的困难”。此句接着说
这些困难都完全未能deter他,可以推断deter是“阻止,制止,阻碍”的意思。
75.【参考译文】 在一个社会中当人们在很多方面都很相似时,就很少有能
够发生变化的需要和机会, 因为似乎一切事物都是千篇一律的。
【翻译技巧】 注意定语从句的翻译,使用溶合法并注意将定
语从句适当转换为时间状语

【翻译点评】 此题翻译时一方面要把where 引导的定语从句翻译出来, 另一方面此句中there are句型在翻译时可将for people中的people作后一句的主语来译。

写作指导
这是一篇给出各段首句的议论文,要求对每句——即各段的主题句进行适当展开论述。议
论文通常由论点、论据、结论构成。本文已给出三个分论点,要求考生分别写出论据、结论
,并使三段话形成统一的整体。
第一段主题句意思是:竞争是我们社会生活中常见的现象,抓住Common phenomenon,从
生活中找出一些存在竞争的情况,但要注意情况的典型性、普遍性,以便紧扣Common一词。这一段是引言段,写好十分重要,考生所给出的竞争现象应该与下文具体分析竞争与合作时
的论据、例子有关系,否则全文会显得不紧凑。
第二段首句“我们常常发现竞争和合作同时并存”,下面的范文就举了一个恰当的例子,
在足球比赛时,竞争与合作的对立统一关系很好地得到证明。
第三段首句是:“提倡竞争的同时,我们不能忘记合作。”这一段应该进一步阐述竞争与
合作的辨证关系,从而得出结论:只有在合作的基础上竞争才能很好地帮助我们实现目标,
满足我们国家现代化建设的需要。
Sample Writing
Competition and Cooperation

Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. We compete when we
play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and there is
constant competition for jobs, money and so forth. We can say to some extent, competition is one of the motive forces of the development of society.
We often find competition and cooperation at the same time. Think of a football game. Each team is competing with the other team, but each member of the team is cooperating with his or her teammates. In most cases, we can’t have competition without cooperation. Thus they are equally important.

While we are advocating competition, we can not forget cooperation.
Nothing is to be carried to extremes. Pure and exclusive competition leads to failures. Only competition together with cooperation helps us a great deal in obtaining our goals and satisfying our needs, especially in modernizing our country.
