答案及解析:
1. throw themselves into the revolution
解析:本句意为:他们做好了充分的准备投身革命。投身革命是使自己参与到革命当中,但如果用take part in the revolution,表达就略显平板。英文里有一个短语throw oneself into中使用了反身代词表示投身于某项事业,大家要记住。
2. nothing remains of its former glory
解析:翻译本句要注意防止漏译错译。当everything,anything,something,nothing作主语时,相应的谓语动词通常采用单数形式。昔日的可以用former作定语修饰glory,in former days通常在句中作状语。另外,本句还采用了反译法,原中文否定在动词谓语部分,而译文动词用了不带否定标记词的remain,否定含义体现在主语nothing上。
3. The accused is suspected of being involved in
解析:the+adj.作主语指某个人或某抽象意义时,谓语动词要用单数。这些形容词还可以被其他词语修饰,如:the extremely poor,the idle rich,the young at heart。若被bothand修饰,the可以省略,如:Both young and old volunteer to give a helping hand.本题第二个考点是如何准确表达涉嫌。涉嫌即被怀疑,因此用be suspected of doing较为准确。参与虽然可以说take part in,join in,participate in,但这些都有主动且比较积极的含义;如果是参与到/被牵涉到某件不好的事情中,通常用be involved in,考生要注意词语的感情色彩。
4. are extremely good
解析:本题旨在考查以-ics结尾的单词作主语时的单复数问题。acoustics在句中表示音响效果,是一个特定的事物,所以谓语要用复数are;当acoustics指学科声学的时候,谓语动词要用单数,如:Acoustics is a branch of physics.
5. went her hopes,courage,and strength
解析:本题考查状语位于句首,主句用倒装语序。这可以起到强调或使句子平衡的作用。随之消失的英文表达是go with,如:go with wind,go with memory,go with tide。如果还原本句的正常语序,就是:Her hopes,courage,and strength went with the last hours of the afternoon.
长喜版:
1. had he started the computer than it stopped working
解析:本题考查对no soonerthan句型的掌握。no soonerthan和hardlywhen都表示刚一就,注意其中连词的区别。该句型有两个特点:一是主句中一般使用过去完成时,而从句中一般使用一般过去时;二是no sooner或hardly位于句首时,要求句子采用部分倒装语序。本句中no sooner位于句首,故句子采用了倒装语序。
2. not what he said but the way he said it/ not what he said but the manner in which he said it
解析:本题考查对常见结构notbut的掌握。Notbut意为不是而是,用来连接两个并列成分,表示否定前者而肯定后者。他所说的话应用名词性从句what he said表示。的方式用the way 或the manner in which表示都可以,前者中的in which常省略。
3. more like a news report than a short story
解析:本题考查对morethan用法的掌握。morethan可以表示与其不如,该结构中可以使用形容词,也可以使用名词、代词、动词、介词短语等。如:He is more diligent than clever.本句中是表示更像,于是用了more like。
4. deprived him of his political rights
解析:本题考查对固定结构deprive sb. of sth.的掌握。Deprive sb. of sth.意为剥夺某人某物。政治权利常用political rights表达。court ruling意为法庭的判决。
5. while animal behavior depends mainly on instinct /whereas the behavior of an animal depends mainly on instinct
解析:本题考查对表示对比或相反情况的连接词的掌握。While或whereas都可以作为连词,表示前后的一种对比或相反的情况,意为然而。注意此处不要用however,因为however是表示一种强烈的转折关系,不强调前后情况的对比。
