　　1. not so much a scholar

　　解析：本句意为：与其说他是个学者不如说是个作家。考查的是与其......倒不如......的句型。句中所给部分已有as，所以最好用 not so much...as...。如：In many cases，nursing is not so much a job as a way of life.

　　2. to make their own choices

　　解析：考查目的状语以便的英文表达，正确答案可以是：in order to/to/so as to+动词，也可以用in order/so+that从句。具体要根据字数要求定。

　　3. make up their minds

　　解析：本句意为：许多大一新生打定主意要在本科毕业后继续争取硕士学位。打定主意、决定下来可选用：make up ones mind to do，be determined to do，decide to do。题中pursue表示坚持不懈地追求，如：She pursued the study of English for five years.

　　4. to participate in social practice

　　解析：本句意为：对学生而言，有必要深入社会实践，从而学到课堂上学不到的东西。深入事实上是指学生要参与社会实践，因此确切译法是to participate，社会实践可译成social practice或social activity。

　　5. has implemented a series of reforms

　　解析：本句意为：为了提高国有企业的竞争力，政府已经实行了一系列改革，其中一项是裁员。这里大家要记住国有企业的表达，而外资企业应译为 oversea-funded enterprise或foreign-based company。实行可选用implement，carry out，由于是一系列改革，因此reform要用复数形式。另外已经暗示句子应该用完成时态。
