Part I Writing
Precious Water
No one doubts the importance of water. Human beings live on water, animals live on water, plants live on water and all living things live on water. You can’t imagine what would happen if there were no water in the world!
China is one of the countries in the world that are badly short of water. Water problem has become more acute in recent years with the increase of water consumption and pollution. In big cities, the water problem has become even worse. With the growth of population, more and more water is needed. With the development of the industry, a large quantity of water has been and is being polluted. Water pollution is the most serious problem that China is facing. It has spread to rivers, lakes, and even the oceans.
In order to survive, man has to be wise enough to treasure water and try to prevent it from being polluted. Man should also know that all resources in the world are limited, including water. Make good use of them, otherwise, man will be punished by nature. To treasure water is to treasure life; to protect our environment is to protect ourselves.

Section A
47. Because Australia bans the use of certain antibiotics in livestock.
根据题干中的关键词Australia和low drug resistance定位到文章开头,可知一项研究发现,在澳大利亚,导致常见食源性疾病的细菌抗药性很低,这与美国和欧洲的情况有所不同;做出该发现的科学家表示,澳大利亚禁止对家畜使用特定抗生素,这有助于解释上述情况。

49. paralysis or death

Section B
Passage One
52. C 推断题。taboo意为“禁忌,避讳”,结合文章内容也可推断出,taboo是那些社会无法接受的行为,所以C正确。
53. D 推断题。由文章第二段第一句可知,在同一个社会中禁忌也是会改变的,以前被认为是禁忌的行为,后来可能变得非常自然、可接受,由此推断,肥胖在将来可能不再是什么禁忌,所以D正确。第三段第一句说fat是one of the newest taboos,排除干扰项C。
54. B 推断题。由文章第三段第二句可知,美国如今的肥胖禁忌跟其他的禁忌不同——人们经常讨论关于肥胖的话题,所以B正确。
55. D 语义题。解答此题的关键在于理解in与out在此处的含义:前者指“流行的,时髦的”,后者指“过时的,不再时髦的”。另外,由文章第三段中对thin及fat的描述也可推知,前者比较流行,后者过时,故选D。
56. B 推断题。由文章第三、四段可知,美国人认为肥胖是“禁忌”,他们追求苗条和年轻,所以热衷于锻炼,由此推断,B正确。
Passage Two
57. A 语义题。由文章第一段中的the population problem及rapid increase in the number可知,demographic的含义应该与“人口”和“数量”有关,而-graphic表示“写、画、记录的”,由此推断A(人口统计)正确。B(环境研究),C(人口的积聚),D(人类的发展),均与文意不符,故排除。
58. B 推断题。由文章第二段第二句和第三句的virtually stable or growing very slightly for most of human history可知,文章第一段最后一句的引申意思是:在人口缓慢稳定的增长之后会出现人口的激增。四个选项之中,只有B与其最相符,故选B。
59. B 细节题。由文章第二段倒数第二句可知,在人口统计学历史上的第一个阶段,社会常有覆灭的危险是因为很多地方人口死亡率比出生率高,所以B正确。
60. A 推断题。由文章第四段第三、四句可知,l650到1975年,世界人口增长至40亿,到2000年已经增长至62亿,由此可知,从l975年至2000年世界人口增长了22亿,故选A。
61. D 推断题。通读全文可知,文章主要描述了世界人口增长的历史和现状,作者的目的在于使读者能够清楚地了解世界人口的增长状况,所以D正确。B项对照历史上人口增长的两种模式是作者达到目的的手段。
Part VI Translation
72. the highest rates of this disease,almost twice that of Asia
“患病率”可用the rates of this disease来表示;“几乎……”应该作“患病率”的补语,可译为省略结构;“两倍”应为twice,此处指的是南非的发病率是亚洲的发病率的两倍,因此应译为twice that of Asia,其中that指代的就是the rates of this disease。
73. took proper steps to solve the traffic problems
该句包含it is time…的结构,该结构一般表示虚拟,其从句要用一般过去时。“采取措施”为从句谓语,因此要译为took steps或took measures;“来解决交通问题”为不定式表示目的,其中“解决问题”可译为固定动宾搭配solve problems。此处还可译为took proper measures to solve the traffic problems。
74. not only takes much time but is also harmful to health
由给出的中英文可知,playing video games应为句子主语,其谓语动词应采用单数第三人称形式。“既……又……”应译为not only…but also;“花费(时间)”可译为take,“有害(健康)”可译为be harmful to。
75. the majority of people believe that it is a lifetime study
结合给出的中英文可知,“教育是终生学习”可译为“认为”的宾语从句。“多数人”应译为the majority of people,“认为”可译为think或believe。而“终生学习”则为a lifetime study。
76. unless some steps are taken to stop it
结合给出的中英文可知,所译部分应为unless引导的条件状语从句。中文部分并没有明确给出是谁“采取措施”,因此应用被动语态;“措施”可译为measure或step,表示目的的“加以”可译为不定式的标志词to,还要注意“阻止”的宾语应为situation,翻译时可用代词it来指代。
