第二部分 题型解析与解题策略
听力理解部分
一 题型分析
三级的听力理解第一部分Section A（short dialogues）共10题，对话只读一遍，考生将有15秒钟的时
间答题。短对 话部分是日常生活中的一般对话，即衣、食、住、行、工作、学习等话题，可分为校园、公共场
所、家庭 等方面。该部分主要考查考生理解事实性信息的能力。要系统复习该部分首先要从功能意念开始，包
括友 好往来、交流补救、态度、情感、影响生活话语、时间表达、空间意念和比较关系等。
短对话部分常见的及应注意的题型有以下几种：
（一）地点类。例如：
1.（2005年12月考试真题）
W：Tom’s mother told me that he was in hospital.

A. On the plane. B. On the ship.
C. In a restaurant. D. In a coffee bar.
男士说让女士帮他那些面包和一杯咖啡。女士回答说可以，但是要 等机长关掉安全带指示灯。因此对话很可能
发生在飞机上。答案选A。
（二）人物关系类 例如：
1. （2005年6月考试真题）

M: Twenty were expected to come, but the number was double that.
Q: What is the actual number of people who attend the meeting?

4

A. 20 B. 25 C. 35 D. 40
男士说：“我们预期二十人回来，但是结果翻了番。”答案选D。
（四）言外之意类 例如：
（2007年12月考试真题）
M: You can’t drive long distances at night because you might get sleepy and drive off the road. But driving to the movie
theater is fine.

第二部分Section B（Short Conversations or Passages）有3段对话或短文，每篇听力材料后 有3-4个
问题，共10题。对话或短文读两遍。同样，每道题有15秒的答题时间。内容为题材熟悉、 情节不复杂的故事、
对话、新闻报道等。该部分主要考查考生理解总体和特定信息的能力。按照大纲对三 级听力的 “能够听懂英语
的一般性谈话或讨论”的要求，这部分的篇幅比较长（每段对话或独白大约2 00词左右），包含的信息量大，
比起短对话部分要难一些。要在这部分得高分应当学会理解主旨要义、 获取事实性具体信息、理解明确表达的
概念性含义、进行有关的判断、推理和引申、理解说话者的意图、 观点或态度等。这部分的基本题型可以归结
为以下几类：
（一）对话

5

B节的长对话是A节的短对话的延伸，它与A节的短对话有共同之处。与短对话一样，在 听B节的长对话
时，应注意说话的一切语域因素，包括说话双方的身份、相互关系、场合等，虽然这些并 不一定被考到，但是
他们有助于对谈话内容的理解。但是A节的短对话中的细节题比较多，而B节的长对 话中的综合性问题比较多。
1、互换观点类
2．采访类
（二）独白
1. 个人体验类
2. 故事类
3. 文化知识类
4. 科普知识类
二 解题策略
一、提高英语知识综合水平
听力理解是 诸多语言技能的综合运用，涉及到语音、语调、语法、词汇等语言和非语言等方面的知识。考
生要想提高 听力能力，要从以下几个方面努力：
1．语音和语调
(1)正确辨别音素。正确辨 别音素是听力的根本基础。不正确的发音必然会造成误解，从而干扰正常的思维判
断。现举几个常见的发 音错误：
／?／发成e／；／ai／发成e／或 ei／；／r／发成 l ； ／v／发成／w／；／z／发成s／
(2)注意重读和弱读。通常句子中除了有重要意义的词必须重 读之外，其他词往往弱读，如介词、助动词、人称
代词、连词等。

6

(3)连读。在一个意群中，如果前- 个词的尾音是辅音，则可以与后一个词词首的元音连起来读。连读使意群或
句子听起来比较连贯、流畅。
(4)句子重音。讲话者用来表达意思、态度、感情的一种语音手段，在听力考试中是考生理解话语的一 个重要依
据。
(5)语调。语调与句子重音一样，影响到说话人所要表达的意思。有时同样 一句话用不同的语调说出可以表示说
话人不同的意图、情感与态度。
以上几个方面考生可通过 跟读标准的英语得到改进和提高。众所周知，英语听说不分家。口语提高了，
听力自然也会提高。因此， 可借助录音机或复读机跟读标准的的英语，这样能强化语音语调，自然适应和习得
地道的发音规则，如失 去爆破、连读、弱读等等；跟读还能培养语感,增强记忆。
2．语法和词汇
考生要正确 理解所听到的信息，必须要掌握一定的语法知识。在听力测试中，有些题还直接涉及语法知识，
如说话者 用了虚拟语气、强调句型、比较结构等等。听力需要相当的词汇量作后盾，尤其是口语中常见的词汇，
要 掌握其在不同语境中的不同意义。此外考生还需熟悉一些常见短语。提高英语听力的水平单靠听是不能解
决问题的, 个人的听力水平的高低与其掌握的词汇量、对语法结构的熟悉程度、知识面、理解能力甚至阅读速< br>度等都密切相关。 因此，学生应注意全面提升自己听说读写的能力，尤其是语法和词汇量方面的积累。
3．功能意念表达
听力测试中，尤其是第一部分(小对话部分涉及生活中的各种场景)，人们通过话语表达各种功能意念。
如：
征求意见：
Could you work overtime tonight?
劝告与建议：
Why not get a taxi?
If I were you，I’d go on a diet．

7

同意和不同意：
I couldn‘t agree more．
抱怨：
I’m sorry to have to say this，but it’s too noisy here．
熟悉各种场景及人们表达的各种功能意念的句型，可以 帮助考生提高捕捉信息的能力，对所听到的内容情
景做出快速反应，有利于理解与记忆。
语言 知识和非语言知识在听解中有着各自的作用，绝不能因顾此而失彼，听能的培养当中，只注重侧重语
言知 识或是片面地强调熟能生巧都会事倍功半甚至是徒劳无功的。学习者在平时的自主学习当中，也要从这两
方面入手，着力提高语言知识水平，提高学习者利用非语言知识分析、归纳获取语言信息的能力。
另外，考生还应多听合适的听力材料，包括：各种考试真题和模拟题的录音带； 英美访谈类节目；大学 英
语一、二年级的教材，等等。总之，听力材料应根据个人水平选择，把握循序渐进的原则。选材不宜太 难，也
不宜太易。考生平时可多进行速记和记忆方面的训练， 听力考试要求考生在很短的时间内记住 听到的重要
信息，这需要很强的短期记忆能力。为加强短期记忆，考生可掌握一些速记的方法。比如利用 缩略词、符号、
首字母等记下重要的数字、时间、地点、中心词等。
二、考时注意临场发挥技巧
1.科学合理利用答题时间
考生在拿到试卷后，要利用 正式放音前的一段时间和录音间的停顿，迅速浏览问题和选项，找出关键词，
预见一下录音的内容，确定 要听的重点。通过浏览试卷上的问题和选项，考生划出关键词，并预见一下对话内
容，从而确定了要听的 重点。做完上一题，余下的几秒钟内看不完下一题的书面选择项时，则应把注意力放在
听上，而不要为了 看而耽误了听录音的内容。
2.听前预测，带着问题听
听力理解中的每一个问题都留有15 秒的答题时间。考生可充分利用这段时间去阅读试卷上各题的问题。正
式开始做题之后，要严格控制答题 时间，根据自己听懂的内容，尽快确定并标出答案。剩下的5秒钟用于浏览

8

下一题的问题和选择项。选项是信息的重要来源，这样，考生基本上可以预测出下一个对话的大致内容 ，并带
着问题集中锁定对话中的有关信息，从而使自己在听力测试中处于主动地位。
3.抓住主旨，边听边记
在听懂大意的基础上，抓住所听内容的主旨与有关细节，同时利用在 预读中得到的潜在信息，并用自己熟
悉的形式把关键信息、数字等迅速记录下来。做到耳眼并用，一边听 录音信息，一边浏览书面信息，边听边分
析整理。采取抓信息词，抓关键词，采用预测法，排除法等等一 切手段进行判断和选择，提高应试成功率。
词汇部分
词汇是语言的重要组成部分之一。学习 任何一种语言，都必须学习它的词汇。三级考试
卷中词语部分共20题，目的是测试考生认识和掌握常用 词汇及常用词组的能力。下面就大学
英语三级考试的词汇题型列举一些具有代表性、特殊性及规律性的例 子进行分析，介绍解题
思路、突出重点，讲明难点，旨在帮助学生扩大词汇量，顺利通过三级考试。
1、名词
英语名词有数、格的变化，掌握它们才能在解题时对名词范围内的结构考题作分析、 判
断，得出正确的答案。
【例1】The school staff gathered to hear the president speak.
A）is B）be C）are D）will
【分析】staff 是集合名词，明显地强调某组织或集合体的成员，动词应取复数形式，所以C项正确。类似的词还有：family, committee, police, cattle, audience, herd, crowd, troop, team等。
【例2】A large crowd expected at the football match.
A）is B）be C）are D）will
【分析】crowd 是集合名词，强调一个整体，具有单数意义，根据题意，A项正确。
【例3】Economics, several courses of which I have taken thus far, to be difficult but
useful for almost all students.
A）prove B）have been proved C）proves D）are proved
【分析】句中several courses of which I have taken thus far 是非限定性定语从句,其前后用逗号
与主句分开。主句主语Economics是以 s 结尾的表示学科名称的名词, 在句中作单数第三人
称看待, 因此应选C项, 以求句中主谓一致。英语中以 s 结尾表示学科名称的名词很多，如：
mathematics，st atistics，politics，physics，phonetics等。

9

【例4】Her sister works in college but I don’t know which one.
A）the women’s B) a women’s C）the women D) a women
【 分析】根据句意可以看出女子学院是泛指，不是特指，所以答案就在B、D选项中选一个，
选哪一个，这 就要按名词的所有格规则去判定。名词所有格规定：当名词与其它名词存在着
所有关系、主谓关系、动宾 关系或表示类别等意义时，该名词就采用所有格形式。上句中women
与college之间存在着类 别关系，因此答案B才是正确的。
2、动词
在遇到动词范围内的词汇时，要先弄懂整句的意 思，再看题中所给的选择内容是否是动
词短语型，要求选用某个固定词组还是及物动词或不及物动词的用 法等。还要注意时态和语
态。对于时态，主要找时间状语，如果句中无明确的时间状语的话要根据上下文 来判断；对
于语态，大家要注意主语和动词的关系：若是主动关系要用主动语态，若是动宾关系则用被< br>动语态。
【例1】When he heard the bad news，he completely.
A）broke away B）broke down C）broke up D）broke out
【分析】显然该题属于动词短语型。broke away 意为“离开”， broke out意为“突然爆发”，
broke up 意为“精神或体力上的衰退、衰老”，broke down则指“精神崩溃、感情失控”，所
以根据题意，正确答案为B项。
【例2】We have agreed the rules which will govern the competition.
A) from B) by C) on D) for
【分析】此题属于动词短语型。动词agree 后跟不同的介词时,各自有不同的含义。其区别如
下：agree onupon 用于在某一点上，双方取得或具有相同的意见，其后常跟terms，rules，date
等词。 agree with 用于同意某人说的话或观点，看法等，其后常跟idea，opinion，method等
词。 agree to用于同意某种计划、安排、建议等，其后常跟 proposal ，arrangement，principal
等词。所以上句的正确答案是C项。
【例3】I hope my teacher will take my recent illness into when judging my examination.
A) regard B) counting C) account D) observation
【分析】take……into account 为动词词组，意为“考虑、重视”，根据题意，C为正确答案。
【例4】The doctor an operation on him.
A) performed B) make C) take D) put
【分析】答案为A。因为表示“对……进行手术时”，“an operation on sb……”只能同动词“perform

10

（carry out）”搭配。
3、形容词和副词
熟练掌握形容词和副词范围内的常用结构会让你在解答 这类题时得心应手，如它们的前后缀、
同义、近义、比较级等。还需注意他们在句中的功用：形容词在句 中做表语和定语而副词在
句中主要是做状语修饰整个句子或动词。
【例1】No one imagined that the apparently businessman was really a criminal.
A) respectful B) respectable C)respective D) respecting
【分析】解该题时，要注意形容词近义及后缀的区别。后缀----able附在动词后构成形容词,< br>表示“可……的、能……的”，如：bearable，eatable等；----ful构成形容词表 示“充满……的，
有……性质，有……倾向”，如：peaceful，doubtful等；---i ve构成形容词表示“与……有关的，
具有……性质的”，如：creative，explosive 。本题中的respectful“尊重他人（showing respect）”
有主动意思；respectable 表示“受人尊敬（deserving respect）”有被动意思；respective则表示“各
自的”；respecting 常用作介词，表示“关于”，这样该题正确答案为B项。
【例2】The cost is much for me.
A) so much B) too much C)far too D)very much
【分析】为了强调副词程度的增加，常可在“too ＋ adj（adv）”的前面加上 much 或far，意
思是“实在太……”；为了强调程度的减少，可在其前面加上 a little，意为“稍微……”，如：
The coat is a little too large for me，又如 You have given much too little care to your work。因此
上句的答案应选C项。
【例3】My father’s only two expensive little socks were kept by my elder brother.
A) Chinese green antique silk B) Chinese antique green silk
C) antique Chinese green silk D) green antique Chinese silk
【分析】多个 形容词重叠在一起修饰名词时，词序是：限定词＋描绘性形容词＋littleoldnew
＋色彩形容 词＋色属形容词＋名词性形容词和其它修饰语＋被修饰名词。因此D项正确。
4、介词
介词 是英语中最活跃的词类之一，特别是一些常用介词，搭配力较强，可用来表示各种
不同意思。大部分的习 惯用语都是由介词和其它的搭配构成的。
1）在不同的形容词后有时常用不同的介词。
【例1】I am two years senior him.

11

A）to B）than C）at D）for
【分析】形容词senior，junior（比……年长，比 ……年轻）后只接to，不接than。类似的短
语还有：be superior to，be inferior to。所以答案为A项。
【例2】Your arguments are foreign this question.
A) at B）on C）to D）in
【分析】形容词foreign意指“无关的”，它的搭配是be foreign to sth. 故该题的答案是C项。
另如：be loyal to，be fond of等。
2）在不同的名词后也常用特定的介词。
【例3】In addition，many exceptions the rules of English usage make it difficult to master.
A）of B）off C）to D）on
【分析】本题应选C项。英语中有些名词要求接介词to，构成固定搭配。另如：key to Test One，
the solutionintroductionapproach to，the obstacle to the progress等。
3）一些介词或短语介词在汉语意思上具有同义或近义时，我们解题时应加以区别。
【例4】The stage was bare a piano, a bench, and one empty chair.
A）in addition to B）only for
C）except for D）apart from
【分析】in addition to，except for，apart from均具有“除……之外，还有……”意思，但其
中in addition to和apart from具有肯定意义，而except for则具有否定意义，强调整体和局部
的关系，表示在主要 部分加以肯定后，仍有部分否定。根据题意应选C项。
4）在不同的动词后常常跟一特定的介词。
【例5】The noise of the plane died in the distance.
A）away B）out C）down D）off
【分析】die away（声音、风、光）渐渐消失；die out（家族、民族、风俗、思想）渐渐消灭；
die down（火、激动、情绪）减弱；die off相续死亡。根据题意，应选A项。
5、连词 一般来说，连词在英语中运用较多。它分为并列连词和从属连词。并列连词用来连接平
行的词、词组 或分句，从属连词只用来引导从句。解题时应注意其区别。
【例】Five minutes earlier， we could have caught the last train.
A）and B）or C）but D）so
【分析】本句是隐含虚拟语气，理解为“If we had been five minutes earlier，we could…”。And

12

连接词只表示条件，即前面部分是一种条件，后面部分是结果。此题应选A项。
6、近似词辨异
近似词包括拼写、语音相似的近形词、近义词、拼音词、同根词和同缀词等。 对于这种
类型的考题出现的频率也是比较高的，大家在平时记这类词时最好采用对比记忆法，如果是前缀或后缀词大部分是符合规律的，此前已叙。
【例1】Don’t this news to the public until we give you the go-ahead.
A）release B）relieve C）relate D）retain
【分析】答案为A项。这四个词为近形词。
【例2】The English language contains a（an） of words which are comparatively seldom
used in ordinary conversation.
A）altitude B）latitude C）multitude D）attitude
【分析】本题所给选项均以- titude结尾，很容易混淆，根据字首multi-（多、大量的），便可
选答案C项，a multitude of words即为“大量的词汇”。
【例3】American women were the right to vote until 1920 after many years of hard
struggle.
A）ignored B）neglected C）refused D）denied
【分析】答案为D项。这四个词为近义词。
【例4】The rain was heavy and the land was flooded.
A）consequently B）continuously
C）constantly D）consistently
【分析】答案为A项。这类词为拼写相似，读音相似，外形相似的一组词，常称谐音词。
【例5】There were no tickets for Friday’s performance.
A）preferable B）considerable
C）possible D）available
【分析】同缀词，即指用派生法构成的一组词，其前缀或后缀相同，此类词均有后缀- able（ible），
答案为D项。
【例6】Visibility was poor owing to the thick fog，and our plane had to make a landing.
A）forced B）forcing C）forceful D）forcible
【分析】同根词，即所给选项的词根均为force，几个不同的后缀-ed、-ing、-ful、- ible分别
有“被动”、“主动”、“充满”、“能够”之意，根据题意选答案A，即为“迫降着陆” 之意。

考点分析

16

动词完成式包括现 在完成时、过去完成时、将来完成时、过去将来完成时，前三种是方
法测试的重点，其考点如下：
1. 关于现在完成时应注意以下几点：
1）注意与现在完成时相关的状语。如：since、for、this year、today等，或 表示不确定概
念的副词，如：already、often、never、so far、yet、al ways等。另外，某些瞬时动词如ask、
begin、come、die、join等，不能跟表示 一段时间的状语连用。
2）在“this is +最高级序数词 the only+名词+that”结构中， that 从句中的谓语在完成时。
例如：
This is the best wine I have ever drunk.
This is the first time I have visited China.
2.将来完成时表示某时以前已经完成的动作。注意与此时态连用的时间状语the end of…、
by this time tomorrow、by then 等，例如：By this time tomorrow you will by home. 另外，在时
间或条件状语从句中，现在完成时也可以表示将来完成时。例如：your paper when you have
finished the test.
3.过去完成时应注意以下几点：
1）过去完成时表示过去某一时间或动作之前完成的动作， 常用的确状语有just、ever、
by that time、by the end of…、before等。例如：We had just had our breakfast when an old man came
to the door.
2)动词 expect、h ope、intend、mean、want、suppose等用过去完成时，表示过去的希望
意图、 愿望未实现。例如：They had intended to help, but couldn’t get here in time. (他们本来打
算来帮忙，不过没来得及赶到这儿)
3）在“It was+最高级序数词 the only +that”结构的从句中，使用过去完成时，例如：
There was a knock at the door. It was the second time someone had interrupted me that evening.
考题注释
① 本题题干中出现了一个时间状语since, 故应用完成时，又由于主句的主语large
crowds 为复数形式，故排除C）。
② 在this is the second time…结构中，其后从句中的谓语用现在完成时。
③ 译文为：“到这个月底为止，我们肯定能找到解决问题的方法。”时间状语为by the end
of this month , 故用将来完成时。
④ 本题中before 引导了一个 时间状语从句，从句的谓语为过去时，由此推知，主句的谓
语应是过去之过去，即过去完成时。

答案： 1.B 2.B 3.C 4.C
二、虚拟语气
虚拟语气是语言使用中出现的频率比较高的一种语言现象。同时在各种英语考试 中是必
考的内容之一。掌握虚拟语气的关键是要把握它的普通形式的表达和一些特殊形式的表达。
下面以三个经典考题来给予说明。
经典考题
1. If the whole operation beforehand, a great deal of time and money would have
been lost.
A) was not planned B) has not been planned
C) had not been planned D) were not planned
2. “You are very selfish. It’s high time you that you are not the most important person
in the world,” Tom said to his boss angrily.
A) have realized B) should realize C) realize D) realized
3. It is essential that these application forms back as early as possible.
A) must be sent B) will be sent C) are sent D) be sent
考点分析
1）普通型虚拟语气即以if引导的主从复合句中的虚拟语气，是虚拟语气谓语动词 形式基础，
包括与现在事实相反的谓语动词形式，与将来事实相反的谓语动词形式和与过去事实相反的< br>谓语动词形式三种，此三种形式需死记。

从 句 主 句
would should couldmight+
动词原形
would should couldmight+
动词原形
Would should could might
have+过去分词
与现在事实相反 过去式（be常用 were）
Should were
to+动词原形
had+过去分词
与将来事实相反
与过去事实相反
解题要诀：切记三种时间的谓语动词形式，特别是与过去事实相反的一类。 同时还要搞清
时间背景是解题的关键。
2）It is time 型，即it’s (high, about )time that …… 的句型中应采用的虚拟语气还未做的一种
意思，其从句谓语用过去时。
3）名词性从句（包括主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句）中的虚拟语气用法。句

18

子中的动词、名词或形容词若有“坚决要命”等含义（“坚”是指“坚持 、建议、推荐”；“决”
是指“决心、决定”等；“要”是指“要求、重要的、必要的”等；“命”是指 “命令、致命
的”等），则名词性从句的谓语动词用虚拟语气形式，即用should+动词原形或省略 should ,
直接用动词原形。
主语从句通常用于“It +is +形容词（或过去分词）+that 主语从句”结构。常见的引起虚
拟的主语从句的形容词或过去分词有：demanded (要求的)， essential（必要的），important(重
要的)，necessary(必要的)，o rdered(命令的)，required(要求的)，vital(致命的)，strange(奇怪的)< br>等等。
常见的引起虚拟的宾语人句的动词有：advise (建议) ，suggest ( 建议)，command(命令)，
decide(决定)，demand(要求)，desire(要 求)，insist(坚持)，order(命令)，require(要求)，
recommend( 建议)，prefer(宁愿)等等。
主句中的一些名词要求表语从句和同位语从句采用虚拟语气，这些名词常见的有：advice
(建议) ，command(命令)，demand(要求)，importance(重要)，mo tion（建议，提议），necessity(必
要)，order( 命令)，proposal(建议，提议), recommendation(建议)，request(要求 )，requirement(要
求)，suggestion (建议)等等。
以上所列引 起虚拟语气的单词，为了便于大家记忆，笔者将其统称为“坚决要命”含义
的词汇，另外，之所以称之为 “坚决要命”，还因为这类考题的确“要命”，几乎每次考试，
都无一例外地出现了此类考题，所以，我 们对此要倍加注意。
答案： 1.C 2.D 3.D
三、从句
从句在英语语言 使用中相当频繁，它是英语主从复合句的必要成分，与主句结合在一起
称为主从复合句。复合句中的从句 共有三种：名词性从句、定语从句和状语从句。各种从句
依靠不同的关联词与主句连接，这些关键词起着 桥梁的作用，也是掌握从句的关键。
一）名词性从句
1．之所以称之为名词性从句，首先是 因为其本质上具有名词的性质。名词可以充当主语、
宾语、表语和同位语，因此，名词性从句可以分为主 语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语
从句。
2．名词性从句靠关联词与主句连接起来，关联 词充当着桥梁的作用，其中有独木桥，即
只充当连接作用的关联词，也有双道桥，即充当连接作用，并有 其意义的连接词，还有三道
桥，即起连接作用，并在句中充当成份，还有其意义的连接词。掌握关联词， 也便掌握了从
句的关键。下面以2个小题给予说明。

19

经典考题
1. In some countries, is called “ equality ”does not really mean equal rights for all
people.
A) which B) what C) that D) one
考点分析
主语从句的连接词总共有四类：
（1） 由that 引导的主语从句。That 在从句中不充当任何成分，本身也无实际意义，只
起连接作用，可形象地比喻为“独木桥”。如： That he will come is certain.
（2） 由 whether 引导 的主语从句。whehter在从句中充当连接词，并且有其意义，故称
之为“双道桥”。注意，从句中 通常有or 或or not, 也是使用连接词whether的标志。
（3） 由连接代词who(ever)， whom, whose, what 和which 引导的主语从句。连 接代词
在句中可充当句子成份，也有其意义，当然也有连接的作用，故称之为“三道桥”。如：What
you need is practice.
（4）由连接副词when, where和why 引导的主语从句。连接副词与连接代词一样，也具
有三重作用，其充当的成份为状语。如H ow the prisoner escaped is a mystery.
注意： 有时为了求得句子的平衡，通常利用it 作形式主语而将主语从句后置。如：It’s
necessary that he return the book at once.
考题注释
在第1小题中从句缺少主语，因此应选一连接代词充当从句的主语。从意义上讲，w hich
意为“哪个（些）”，what 意为“所……的”。所以答案是 B
经典考题
2. There are signs restaurants are becoming more popular with families.
A) that B) which C) in which D) whose
考点分析
1）英语中某些名词如idea、fact、news、hope、belief等后可用同位语从句，其连接 词的
范围和应用方法与主语从句相同，但在测试中，主要考以that引导的同位语从句。
2）用作同位语连词的that与用作定语从句关系词的that有三点区别：
（1）同位语 从句中的that只起连接作用，不能充当成分，而定语从句中的that可作从句
成分。（2）同位语 从句修饰的名词是相等关系，是对前面名词的解释和说明；而定语从句与
所修饰的中心词之间是修饰与被 修饰关系。（3）同位语从句前的名词是特定的，而定语从句
所修饰的词是不特定的。

20

答案是A
二）状语从句
状语从句是指在主句中作状 语的主谓结构。状语从句根据其在主句中的句法作用可分为
时间、地点、方式、原因、目的、结果、让步 、比较和条件等九种状语从句。掌握状语从句
的关键是熟悉能连接状语从句的从属连词的用法。下面以原 因、让步、条件状语从句为例子
来说明
经典考题
1. Although many people view conflict as bad, conflict is sometimes useful it forces
people to test the relative merits of their attitudes and behaviors.
A) by which B) to which C) in that D) so that
2. you are leaving tomorrow, we can have dinner together tonight.
A) For B) Since C) Before D) While
考点分析
能连接原因状语从句的从属连词有：because, as , since, for, in that (因为),now that (既然)
等。考点有：
1）in that, now that 引导的状态语从句，这是四级测试的一个重点。
2）as, because ,for 和since 引导原因状语从句的区别。笔者认为，应从两个层次对之进
行区分：一是从句 与主句的位置，二是从句与主句的关系。As 引导的从句常位于主句之前，
它说明的原因只是附带性的；because 引导的从句一般放在主句之 后，它用来表示直接原因；
for引导的从句只能放到主句的后面，它侧重于对主句的解释和说明；si nce引导的从句常放
在主句的前面，特别是表示“既然”时，它表示的原因通常是稍加分析后推断出来 的。
答案:1. C 2.B
经典考题
1. difficulties we may come across, we’ll help one another to overcome them.
A) However B) Whenever C) Wherever D) Whatever
考点分析
能引导让步状语从句的连接词有：although, as , ( even)though, even if ,ever 型（如
whatever 等），whether …of ( not )(不管、不论)，while (尽管)等。如Whatever you say, I will not
change my mind. whatever 后面接的是名词，而however 后面接的是副词和形容词。
答案:1. D
经典考题

21

1. We’ll visit Europe next year we have enough money.
A) provided B) unless C) until D) lest
考点分析
条件状语从句一般由if、unless、as long as （只有）、supposing(如果)、provided(如果，
假设)、on condition that (假设)等词引导，如：We can not study English well unless we practice it
from time to time.
答案:1. A
三）定语从句
1. 定语从句又被称为形容词性从句或关系从句， 其实质是修饰名词或代词的主谓结构，
被修饰的名词或代词叫先行词。
2. 连接名词（代词 ）和定语从句的关联词称为关系词，有关系代词和关系副词，掌握定
语从句的关键在于掌握关系词的用法 。
3. 定语从句分为限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句。限定性定语从句是主句意思不可
缺少的部分，如果把它去掉，主句的意思便难以完整。非限定性定语从句只对作修饰的词作
进一步的说明 ，它是一种插入语，旁白或注释，如果把它删去，主句的意思仍然完整。非限
定性定语从句与先行用逗号 隔开。
例如：You may select the one which is most to your taste. (限定性定语从句)
That man, whose work is important, has been a teacher.(非限定性定语从句)
（一）由关系代词引导的定语从句
经典考题
1. The few points the president stressed in his report are very important.
A) which B) who C) as D) where
2. All is a continuous supply of the basic necessities of life.
A) what is needed B) for our needs
C) the thing needed D) that is needed
考点分析
1）能引导定语从句的关系代词有：who (whom ,whose )、which 和 that。其中，who ( whom,
whose )指人，which 指物，that 既指人，也指物，例如：
The woman who (that )is speaking at the meeting is a famous writer.
The train which (that ) has just left is a new one.
2) 注意关系代词that 的使用：当① 先行词前有限定词（all、any 、every、no等）、序

22

数词、形容词最高级时；② 先行词本身是限定词或不定代词（nothing、 everything、anything
等）时；③ 先行词是既指人又指物的并列名词时，必须使用关系代词that。如：I like the people
and the places that I visited in Beijing last year.
3） 关系代词除连接句子外，一般在从句中作主语、宾语或定语。
答案:1. A 2.D
（二） 由关系副词引导的定语从句
经典考题
1. The day will come soon China will become a modern, powerful, socialist country.
A) when B) before C) since D) as
2. The village I once worked has taken on a new look.
A) which B) where C) when D) that
考点分析
1）能引导定语从句的关系副词有when(= at which )、where (= in which )和 why(= for
which ),它们既可引导限定性定语从句，也可以用来引导非限定性定语从句，如:That is the
reason why I did it.
2) 关系副词引导的定语从句可以与其先行词 分开，中间由谓语隔开，有的语法书称之为
割裂修饰，其目的是为了求得句子的平衡。如：The time has come when ordinary people can use
computers.
3) 关系副词除连接定语从句外，一般在从句中作状语成分。
答案:1. A2.B
（三）带介词的定语从句
经典考题
1. We need a chairman .
A) for whom everyone has confidence B) in whom everyone has confidence
C) who everyone has confidence of D) whom everyone has confidence on
考题分析
引导定语从句的关系代词可以作介词的宾语，形成带介词的定语从句，这种结构有两种：
1）从句由“介词+ which （表示事或物）或“介词+whom”（表示人）构成。
如：The man to whom he is talking is our president.
The school in which I studied is a famous university.
2) 从句由“名词（或代词）+of + which(或whom)”构成。

23

如：The citizens, most of whom were workers, welcomed the new law.
Mt. Tai, the summit of which is hardly seen, is often covered with snow.
答案:1. B
解题要诀
掌握常用介词的基本用法。
掌握常用的动词、形容词与介词之间的固定搭配，这是解题的关键。
（四）非限定性定语从句
经典考题
1. Helen was much kinder to her youngest child than she was to the others， ____ of course,
made the others jealous.
A) who B) that C) what D) which
考点分析
能引导非限定性定语从句的关系词有：who (whom, whose ),which , as, where， when。而
which 和as有时可用来表示整个句子。
答案:1. D
四、倒装
倒装是指英语中主谓顺序颠倒的一种语法现象。倒装的 原因有三：一是为了求得句子的
平衡，二是为了强调，三是为了追求某种特殊的效果，如修辞上的要求等 。倒装从形式上可
以分为全部倒装和部分倒装。前者指整个谓语都放在主语之前，后者指谓语的一部分（ 主要
是助动词、情态动词或系动词）放在主语之前，而另一部分放在主语后。下面我们将对这两
种形式在考试中经常考察的地方予以阐述。
经典考题
wanted to go .
A) and so her brother did B) and so did her brother
C) and too her brother D) and did her brother ,too
考点分析
在以so, nor, neither, no more 开头的并列句中，表示前面一句话中的谓所说的情况也适合于后一句话，采用倒装并且省去与前一句相同的成分。在此句型中，要注意后一句中所用的
助动词、 系动词、情态动词与前一句相一致。如：
I can’t answer this question, nor can Tom.
You are not preparing your lessons, neither are we.

24

答案:1. B
经典考题
1. Never him in such a good mood.
A) I have found B) have found I
C) have I found D) I found
2. Only under special circumstances to take make- up tests.
A) are freshmen permitted B) freshmen are permitted
C) permitted are freshmen D) are permitted freshmen
3. No sooner the bus than the waiting crowd got on it .
A) did … stopped B) has … stopped
C) had … stopped D) was… stopping
否定词（或否定词组）位于句首，引起后面的部分倒装。常见的形式有：
1）never （从不），seldom, rarely（不常），little, scarcely, hardly等表示否定意义的词或
含有no的状语如at no time （任何时候都不），by no means （一点也不），in no case (决不)，
no account （决不），under no circumstance （决不）等位于句首，引起半倒装。
2）由not until, only when 等或not until + 时间状语，only +介词短语作状语置于句首，
引起部分倒装。
3）从属连词no sooner had …than (一……就)，scarcelyhardly had…when ( 一……就)引
起部分倒装。在此种句型中，主句谓语通常用过去完成时，从句谓语一般用过去时，倒装时
将助动词had 放于主语前。
3）并列连词not only …but (also ), neither …nor 或将其中的not only, neither 放在句首，
引起部分倒装。如：
Not only did he show himself a good student, but he also proved himself a good athlete.
答案:1. C 2.A 3.C
五、非谓语动词 < br>非谓语动词又称作是非限定动词，是我们语法学习的重点。非谓语动词，顾名思义，是
指在句中不 能充当谓语的一种动词形式，它有动词不定式、动名词和分词。下面我们将分别
予以分析和讲解。
一）动词不定式
动词不定式在词性上具有名词、形容词和副词的功能，名词可作主语、宾语和 表语，形
容词可作定语、表语和宾补，而副词则可以作状语，由此推出，动词不定式也可以作主语、
25

宾语、表语、宾补、定语和状语。下面对不定式在句中作宾语、补语、定语等给予讲解。
经典考题
1. If you promise angry with me, I’ll tell you what I broke.
A) get not B) not get C) not to get D) not getting
4. He has no choice but to see him
A) go B) went C) going D) to go
考点分析
动词不定式作宾语时涉及以下考点：
1）在及物动词begin, choose, continue, decide, expect, fail, forget, happen, hate, help, hope,
intend, like, love, manage, mean, offer, plan, prefer, prepare, promise, refuse, remember, try, want,
wish 等后面常用不定式作宾语。这类动词无规律性，需靠强记和平时的积累才能掌握。（见
考题1）
2）动词不定式可作but（除……之外），except（除……之外）, save（除……之外）的宾
语，但当but, except, save 前有do的某种形式时（包括did , does, done），不定式符号to必须
省略，如：He does nothing but wait. 反之，如果无do 的某种形式，to 则不能省略，如：There
is no choice but to wait. 另外，在词组can not but (只好)，can not help but (不得不)，do nothing
but (只有，不得不)后，接不带to的不定式。（参见考题2）
答案:1. C 2.D
经典考题
1. The bank is reported in the local newspaper in broad daylight yesterday.
A) robbed B) to have been robbed
C) being robbed D) having been robbed
考点分析
动词不定式作宾补、主补涉及到以下两个考点：
1）有些动词后要求用不定式作宾补，如：allow, advise, ask, choose, enable, expect, fail, have,
hear, order, tell, think, wish 等。例如：Harry invited me to come to his p arty.常见的题型是考察
动词不定式作主补的情况。如果把动词不定式作宾补的句中的谓语由主动语 态变为被动语态，
则作宾补的动词不定式‘就成了主语的补足语。如上述的例子便由Harry invited me to come to
his party.变成了I was invited (by Harry) to come to his party. 在此类情形中，考题主要集中了当
谓语动词为believe, report, say, suppose 等时，其后作主补的动词不定式用完成时表示动作的
完成或提前。如：Mrs., Brown is supposed to have left for Italy last week.

26

2) 在consider, prove, think, know, feel, suppose, find等动词之后也跟“宾语+to beto have”
的形式，对此应加以注意。如:We all know him to be dead. (我们都以为他死了。)
答案:1. B
经典考题
1. She’s always the first guest and the last .
A) to arrive … to leave B) arriving …leaving
C) arrived…left D) being arrived… being left
考点分析
动词不定式作定语涉及两个考点：
1）动词不定式可作定语，如：Have you any other question to ask? 注意：当被不定式修饰
的名词与后面的不定式有动宾 关系（即逻辑宾语），该不定式中的动词又是不及物动词时，不
定式结尾表示动宾关系的介词不要丢掉， 如：I haven’t got a chair to sit on.
2) 由only, last, next 序数词或形容词最高级修饰的名词常用不定式作定语。另外，有些
名词后固定要 求用不定式作定语，像ability , right, effort 等，如：Energy is the ability to do work.
答案:1.A
二）动名词
动 名词在性质上比较单一，只具有名词的功能，因此只能作主语、表语和宾语。下面以
3个小题给予阐述。
经典考题
1. work means moving a body through a distance by a force.
A) Did B) Done C) Doing D) Being done
考点分析
动名词可以作主语，如：Reading newspapers can increase our knowledge. 当动名词短语作
主语时，有时可以用形式主语it 代替，it 放在句首而把实际主语放在句末，但大多限于像“It
is no use …”, “Is it no good…”, “It is useless… ”等一些习惯用法中。如：It is no use doing that
work.另外，动名词还可以用在There is no …结构中作主语。例如：There is no use calling him
at this hour.
答案:1. C
经典考题
2. That young man still denies the fire behind the store.
A) to start B) having started C) start

27
D) to have started

3. I have no objection your story again.
A) to hear B) to hearing C) to having heard D) to have heard
考点分析
对动名词作宾语要注意以下考点：
1）在某些动词后要求用动名词作宾语，不能用不定式，常见的这类动词有：admit, advise,
appreciate, avoid, consider, deny ,enjoy, escape, finish, imagine, keep, mind, miss, permit , risk,
suggest等。
2）动名词也可以作介词宾语。如：He went away without telling me .同时，要注意后面跟
介词的短语，动词后要求用动名词作宾语，常见的这类动词有：approve of, be capable of, be
objected to ,be used to , be accustomed to ,give up, keep on ,look forward to , put off, can’t help等。
答案:1. B 2.B
三）动词不定式与动名词比较
由于动词不定式也具有名词的性质和功能，因此，其用法在三个 位置上与动名词发生了
重合，即主语位置、宾语位置和表语位置，故有必在对此予以比较。两者在表语位 置上的用
法基本相同，且无考点，因此，我们将着重讲解两者在宾语和主语位置上的区别。
（一）宾语位置上的区别
1）有些动词要求跟动名词作宾语，有些动词要求跟不定式作宾语（ 参见动词不定式和动
名词作宾语的情况）。
2）有些动词后既可跟动名词，又可跟不定式，但意义不同。
经典考题
1. If I had remembered the window, the thief would not have got in .
A) to close B) closing C) to have closed D) having closed
考题主释
① remember 后既可以跟不定式，又可以跟动名词，前者意思是：记住做 某事（还没做），
后者的意思为：记得做了某事（做过了）。根据题意，窗户未关，因此小偷就进来了， 故A）
正确。相似的词还有forget ,regret。
（二）主语位置上的区别
经典才考题
newspapers can increase our knowledge.
A) Reading B) To read C) To be read D) Read

不定式和动名词都可以放到主语的位置，意思相差不大，因此，使许多考生感到难以下
手。做此 类题目，关键是掌握我们在属性篇中讲的各自的深层性质，即不定式一般表示一次
性、具体性、目的性， 而动名词则表习惯性、一般性、过去性。就此考题而言，读报能获得
知识是一种习惯性的长期过程，因此 ，用不定式便不合适，因为不定式只表示一次特定的动
作。
答案:1. A
四）分词
分词在性质上具有形容词和副词的功能，形容词可作定语、表语和宾补，而副词可作 状
语，由此推知，分词也可以作定语、表语、宾补和状语。分词有两类，现在分词和过去分词。
下面对分词在句中的部分功能进行阐述。
经典考题
1. You will see this product wherever you go.
A) to be advertised B) advertised C) advertise D) advertising
考点分析
1）单个分词作定语一般放在它所修饰的名词前；但也可 以放在名词后，其作用是强调分
词的动作性，但一般仅限于过去发词，如考题1。故答案是B
2）分词短语做定语必须放在被修饰的名词后，除“副词+分词”构成的短语外。
3）如果被 修饰的中心词与分词的关系是主动关系，用现在分词；如果被修饰的中心词与
分词的关系是被动关系，则 用过去分词。如：
The woman teacher giving us oral lessons is from America.
The story described in the book is easy to understand.
经典考题
2. in this way, the situation doesn’t seem so disappointing.
A) To look at B) looking at C) looked at D) To be looked at
考点分析
分词及分词短语作状态语可表示时间、原因、条件、结果、让步、方式或伴随情况，既
可以放在 句首也可以放在句末，通常用逗号与句子其他部分分开。分词前可带when ,while, as ,
once, until , if 等连接词。注意分词及其逻辑主语（即主句主语）的一致性。如分 词与逻辑主
语的关系是主动关系，分词用现在分词，如为被动关系，则用过去分词。故答案是C.
经典考题
1. The president promised to keep all the board members of how the negotiations were

29

going on .
A) inform B) informing C) be informed D) informed
考点分析
有些及物动词之后要求分词作宾补才能表达一个完整的意思。有 些动词之后既可用现在
分词作宾语，也可用过去分词，这就要看动词之后的名词或代词能否执行分词的动 作来确定，
能执行的用现在分词，否则，用过去分词。故答案是D此类动词常见的有：see, heat, feel, catch,
watch, notice, make, think, have, keep, want, order等。
分词的特殊形式
分词的特殊形式主 要指的是分词的复合结构，即分词的独立结构。一般而言，作状语用的分
词短语的逻辑主语为整个句子的 主语，但有时，分词的逻辑主语却与句子的主语不一致，这
时，分词必须带上自己的主语，称为独立结构 ，可以表示原因、时间、伴随等。
经典考题
1. All the tasks ahead of time, they decided to go on holiday for a week.
A) been fulfilled B) having been fulfilled
C) were fulfilled D) had been fulfilled
考点分析
这是一种非常重要的独立结构，在阅读和 写作中经常碰到，也是语法测试的重点。它通
常表示原因、时间、条件等，注意使用时应考虑以下步骤： ① 逻辑主语与分词的关系。若为
主要动关系，则用现在分词，若为被动关系，则用过去分词（或现在分 词的完成式的被动形
式）；② 分词与整句话谓语的动作先后关系。若两者无先后关系，用分词的一般式 ，若分词
发生在谓语动作之前，则用一般式的完成式。
故答案:1 B
阅读理解部分
阅读理解的主要测试题型有主旨题、细节题、推论题、语义题、态度题、
例证题、引证题、标题题、体裁题等。
1.主旨类考题
该类题主要测试对文章段落主题思想的掌握，涉及到文章的中心思想、主要
内容和标题等。标志词一般有“main idea”、“main topic”、“best title”、“subject”、“purpose of
the writer”等。这类题的 解题关键在于找出文章或段落主题句的位置，并排除干扰项。一般
说来正确的选项应具有概括性，能概括 文章的全部内容，既不能太宽也不能太窄；还应具有

30

宏观性和 抽象性，不应停留在个别事例或事实上；而干扰项一般都是些局部信息，或是一句
未展开讨论的话，或是 某一段的主要内容；干扰项还可能概括内容太大，把文章的内容无限
制的扩大化，包括的内容多于文章所 阐述的内容，过于笼统；还有一些干扰项是一些无关信
息，在文章中根本找不到根据。
有超过一半的文章主旨出现在文章的开头或结尾。例如：
As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every day by using a
light box of a similar bright light treatment. (Going to a brightly-lit climate, whether skiing or
somewhere hot, is indeed a cure.) The preferred level of light is about as bright as a spring morning
on a clear day and for most people sitting in front of a light box, allowing the light to reach the eyes,
for between 15 and 45 minutes daily will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms. The user does not
have to stare at the light, but can watch TV or read a book, just allowing the light to reach the eyes.
OUTSIDE IN have a complete range of suitable lights, all in line with the research findings from
medical and academic facilities. They are all available on our pioneering HOME TRIAL SYSTEM.
（2006年12月浙江省大学英语三级考试题）
Which of the following sentences best express the main idea of the paragraph?
A. Why people suffer from SAD.
B. How SAD patients can be treated.
C. How long can SAD treatment lasts.
D. Where people can go for SAD treatment.
此段主要讲述SAD的治疗方法，而不是人们患SAD的原因、治疗SAD需
要多长时间以及到何地去治疗，因此，B项的how说的是方法、方式，故选之。
还有相当多 的一些文章，没有明显的主题句，这就要求考生对全文内容或段落进行分析、
归纳、概括和推理，才能找 到其主旨大意。
2细节类考题
细节题在阅读理解中占有很大比例，涉及内容也很广。所谓细节题就是把文
章中某一句话、某 一个要点拿出来单独考，是针对原文具体叙述本身发问的。解题时必须立
足于原文，从原文中逐一查找核 实，然后再确定正确答案。例如：
Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary
risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is
not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be
estimated. （2005年6月浙江省大学英语三级考试题）
Which of the following can be covered by insurance?

31

A. All risks of business. B. All houses damaged by fire.
C. Goods with clearly marked prices. D. Things whose values can be estimated.
这是典型的细节性考题，要求考生根据此段落的内容作出回答。从次段 中可以看出，只
有可以估价的东西才可以投保，故D项正确。
我们在解题时，可依照以下步骤 ：１、根据题干中的中心词定位原文段落，如选项中有
内容超出此段落的可首先排除。２、选项中未含文 章或该段落中心词的，首先排除。３、如
果是“有无”或者“是非”题的话，则依题支的中心词定位原文 。４、定位原文后，仔细对
照，如果选项可以在文章中找到确切依据，则为正确选项；如找不到，则为非 正确的选项。
正确选项一般具有此类特征：一般不会与原文一模一样，通常是原文的“换个说法”。其表 象
形式为：１、如文中是双重否定，正确的选项一般会以肯定形式出现；文中肯定，正确的选
项 则可能会是双重否定。２、换词法，把关键词换为其同义词或近义词。（所换词多为名词（n）
或形容词 （adj.）３、很多时候，正确选项为段落的主旨句或强转折、强对比之后的观点。与
之相反，干扰项 具有以下的特点：１、内容是原文中的信息，但与题目不符。２、符合常理，
但文中未提及。３、含有原 文原句中的单词，尤其是生词、难词，但不一定是正确的选项。
４、将文章中的非绝对的观点绝对划，非 具体的内容具体化。５、偷梁换柱，张冠李戴。
3.推论题
这类题目要求考生不仅要理解文章的字面意思，还要根据所读材料进行一定
的判断和推论，从 而领会文章的隐含意义和深层意义，理解作者的言外之意。推论题的标志
词有：“inferinfer encesuggestimplyimplicationconcludeconclusion”等。推论 题的答案往往不
在文章的字面中。选项中某一选项和原文的某句话相同，则通常不是答案。推论既不能原 地
不动，也不能走得太远，即大大超越了原文。必须根据已知信息进行推理，一定要从原文中
找 到推理的依据，并在原来依据的基础上往前稍稍走一步。此外，文章中的一些特定词语的
特定含义常常是 解题的关键。
这类题通常要求考生判断作者写作的态度和意图，推断作者的写作目的，对细节进行推< br>理，推断文章的来源等。
例如：
Eye contact with an audience also lets a speaker know and monitor(观察) his listeners. It is, in
fact, essential to analyze an audience during a speech. Visual feedback(视觉反馈) from the
audience an indicate that a speech is boring, that the speaker is talking too much about a particular
point, or that a particular point requires further explanation. As we have pointed out, visual
feedback from listeners should play an important role in shaping a speech as it is delivered. （2006
年6月浙江省大学英语三级考试题）
What does the writer imply about visual feedback in this paragraph?

32

A. It can make the speaker adjust his speech.
B. It can make the speech more informative.
C. It may discourage and stop the speaker.
D. It may cause the speaker to make less eye contact.
此段最后一句讲到听众的视觉反馈在调整我们的讲话内容方面起着非常重
要的作用。我们在推论此题时，要着重推论 “shape”的意思， “shape”有“调整、调节”的意
思，故A项正确。
4.语义题
语义题也就是词义题，主要考核学生根据上下文推断词义的能力。标志词有
“the meaningstand forbe close torefer tomean”等。解题时可利用文中的例证。我们在答题
时，可采用以下方法：
1）利用与 这个词紧密相连的前后几个词作解题线索，特别是后面跟有文字说明词义的同
位语、定语、破折号、逗号 时，常常就是答案所在的位置；
2）利用文章中出现的与某生词或词组意义相反的内容；
3）利用文章中用不同的话对同一概念的解释；
4）利用基本的构词法，如前后缀、合成词等。
例如：
Adverse(不良的) drug reactions may cause the deaths of 100,000 U.S. hospital
patients each year, making them a leading cause of death nationwide, according to a report in the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
“The incidence(发生率) of serious and fatal adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in US hospitals
was found to be extremely high, ” say researchers at the University of
Toronto in Ontario, Canada.
They carried out an analysis of 39 ADR-related studies at US hospitals over the past 30 years
and defined and ADR as “any harmful, unintended, and undesired effect of a drug which occurs at
doses(剂量) used in humans for medical treatment.”
An average 6.7% of all hospitalized patients experience an ADR every year,
according to the researchers. They estimate that “in 1994, overall 2,216,000 hospitalized patients
had serious ADRs, and 106,000 had fatal ADRs.” This means that ADRs may rank as the fourth
single largest cause of death in America. （2007年12月浙江省大学英语三级考试题）
What does the word “fatal” (Para.2&4) mean in the passage?
A. Resulting in death. B. Lucky.

33

C. Leading to happiness. D. Worried.
该题考查考生根据上下文猜测生词意义的能力。文章第一段就说leading cause of d eath(导
致死亡的原因)。第四段最后一句话又说“这就意味着不良药物反应在美国可能是导致死亡 的
第四大杀手”，因此很容易推断出fatal的是“致命的”。 A项与fatal的意思吻合，故为正确
选项。
语义题的检验方法是根据该词或词组出现的上下文的语境。
5.态度题
态度题一般 考作者的态度，有时也考文中某人的态度。态度题最重要的是“看清楚是谁对
谁的态度、谁对什么的态度 ”。 作者的态度一般会孕于文章的行文之中，一些形容词、副词
都能表现作者的态度。eg：seem 常表示作者对所论问题的否定、批评态度。only也常表示否
定态度。双重否定表示作者的强烈肯定或 强烈否定，所以，此时作者的态度便不太可能是
objective（客观的）了，一般多掺进了作者自 己的感情好恶。有时作者也不直接表明态度，
会通过举例或引用他人的话来说明自己的态度。此时应注意 ，所引、举的例子与作者所论述
的观点是否一致，可借此来判断作者自己的态度。例如：
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy
farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms,
for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and re fed on food
which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also
produce eggs which lack important vitamins. （2006年12月浙江省大学英语三级考试题）
What is the writer’s attitude towards chickens fed on battery farms?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Hopeful. D. Negative.
在此段中作者指出，架层式养鸡场里养的鸡不仅吃起来没有味道，而且下的 蛋也缺乏重
要维生素。显然他对此持否定态度。故D项符合作者的态度。
我们在答题时，有必 要记住一些表态度的词汇：indifferent（漠不关心的）（当问作者其
所论内容的态度时，如 当备选答案中有该词时，可首先排除，因为如果作者是漠不关心的话，
就不会写文章论述了。）、sub jective（主观的）、objective（客观的）、positive（肯定的）、
nega tive（否定的）、optimistic（乐观的）、pessimistic（悲观的）、biased（ 有偏见的）、partial
（片面的、偏见的）、impartial（公平的、无偏见的）、puz zling（困惑的）、relevant（适当
的、中肯的）、appreciative（欣赏的） 、indignant（愤怒的）、supportive（支持的）、apprehensive
（担 忧的）等。

34

6.例证题
例证题考查的是文章的逻 辑结构。这样的文章结构一般是“先举例后论点”或“先论点后举
例”。 我们在遇到问“作者举某一或 某几个例子的目的”时，有关例子本身的选项一定不是正
确的选项。在此类题中，正确选项的特征一般为 ：跳出例子本身，从宏观上概括，全面而合
情合理。但有的时候会专门考所引的话的意思，这样的题就属 于例子本身题，可具体问题具
体分析。例如：
Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive(欺骗). When someone tells you something that
is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false
impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(抽彩给
奖法). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred
dollars!” This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We when discover that he bought two
hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that
was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths
are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Dishonest politicians often use this method. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term,
her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of
the politicians opposing her runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one
million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor
Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims, so they try
to mislead you with the truth. An ad might claim, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills
to cure nose pimples(丘疹).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them
work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the
truth can lie as well. （2005年6月浙江省大学英语三级考试题）
What does the writer want to tell us with the example of the lottery winner?
A. People lose a lot of money in buying lottery tickets.
B. Lottery makes its buyers dishonest.
C. He was lucky to win the lottery.
D. He did not tell the whole truth.
作者用中奖者的例子，想要告诉我们他没有说出全部的事实，即“买多中少”。

35

D项符合作者的意图，故此项为正确答案。
7.引证题
引证题是指对关于于文章中作者引用别人的话或是名言，或是他人的观点等等而设 置的
问题。做此类题一定要注意看作者所引用的观点与作者自己的观点是否一致，如果一致，可
从整篇文章的思路推理，如不一致，可从文章的反向考虑。我们在答此类题时，一定要返回
原文，仔细比 较。例如：
Why don’t birds get lost on their long migratory(迁徙的) flight? Scientists have puzzled over
this question for many years. Now they are beginning to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight
hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial(人造的) stars have proved
conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow stars in their long-distance flights.
One such bird─a warbler─had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural
sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an
artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by
his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the
direction of his flight.
Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But stars are
apparently their main means of directed flight in the night. What do they do when stars are hidden
by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines and
river courses. But when it is too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to find their
way. （2005年12月浙江省大学英语三级考试题）
What does the passage say about warblers’ sense of direction?
A. They are not able to see clearly at night.
B. They get lost under star-filled sky.
C. They lose their way when it is too dark.
D. They usually depend on clouds for direction.
在此篇文章中，作者首先引用了科学家的观点，即鸟在白天靠太阳导航；接
着又引用科学家的 观点，提到鸟在夜晚靠星星导航。在文章的最后一部分，作者提到在乌云
遮住星星的晚上，鸟靠地标导航 ；但是，当夜晚太黑的时候，鸟看不到地标，就无可奈何了，
只好在空中盘旋。不管文章的最后部分是作 者的观点，还是作者引用科学家的观点，但最后
部分却是作者同意的观点。C项是对有关次嘴莺方向感的 正确表述，为正确选项。
8.标题题

36

标题题一般 考的是对文章的概括能力。正确选项一般具有这样的特征：简明而全面地概
括全篇内容，含有中心词，只 说明了文章某个或某几个段落的观点的，不是正确的选项。例
如：
How men first learned to invent words is unknown. All we really know is that men, unlike
animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so
that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called
letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down.
Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations─ the things they bring up before our minds.
Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain
words recall to us the happy and sad events of our past; the more we read and learn, the larger the
number of words that mean something to us becomes.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in
words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This attractive use of words is what we
call literary style. Above all, the real peot is a master of words. He can express his meaning in
words which sing like music, and, by their position and association, can move men to tears. We
should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our
speech dull and silly. （2005年12月浙江省大学英语三级考试题）
What is the best title of the passage?
A. How Language Came into Being B. Language and Human Experience
C. Poet: a Master of Words D. Language and Its use
该题是一道典型的标题题，考查考生对全文的掌握。短文介绍了词（即语言）的起源，
然后介绍语言的作用。D项简明全面地概括了全篇内容，可以作为文章的标题，故正确答案
为该 项。
9.体裁题（或出处题）
考查文章的体裁。真题目前为止只涉及过三类体裁：pref ace（序言）newspaper（新闻、
报刊）bookview（书评）。
省时间、高质量的阅读方法是：一次完成法。即只细读一次，边读边做题，
阅读完成，答题完 毕。此阅读方法就需要与之相适应的步骤，即先看题后看文章，读一段做
一题。如果题目涉及多段，则看 完所有相关段落后，最后再答题。此方法及步骤的优点在于：
易于精准定位，节省时间，提高正确率。每 篇文章最重要的就是第一段的第一句，最后一句，

37

以及每段的 第一句和最后一段的最后一句。因为这些往往是中心句，对于文章的思路，架构，
作者的态度，有很强的 说明性。

翻译部分
一、题型分析
翻译题旨在考察学生的综合英语能力 ，它包括英译汉和汉译英两个部分。其中，英译汉
要求考生将一篇约350字左右实用性短文中画线的5 个英语句子译成汉语。要求译文准确、
完整、通顺。主要测试考生理解、表达和实际应用能力。需要翻泽 的句子往往句型结构较复
杂，通常含有定语从句、状语从句、独立结构或者分词结构等，句子意思不容易 把握。而汉
译英则是要求将5个独立的句子译成英语，同样要求译文准确通顺。主要测试学生英语理解< br>能力和应用能力。
要做好这类题目，既需要具备一定的英话基本功，同时也需要一定的翻译技巧 。从历年
的考试情况来看，这一部分试题是考生的薄弱环节，所以考生必须掌握翻译的一些基本常识和技巧，以免在考试中一筹莫展，无从下手。
1. 通读全文。从整体上把握文章的内容，根据上 下文弄清画线句子中的各个代词的所指，以
及每个词的意思。
2. 分析画线句子的结构。找 出句子的主语、谓语和宾语，以明了句子的主干结构，然后再分
析句子是否有省略成分以及句中主、从句 之间的关系。
3. 句意的理解表达。在弄清句中虚、实词意义的基础上，理解全句的整体意义。注意 全句的
意思并不等于所有词语意思的相加，考生需要考虑中英文表达方式的差异，译文要符合汉语
的表达习惯。
4. 检查核对并润色。对照原文，检查有无错漏，修改译文中译错或表达不够准确的 句子、词
组或词汇；有无错别字；标点符号是否有误。发现译文中存在的问题并予以修改，尽可能使自己理解和表达的内容准确、通顺。
5. 汉译英因为句子一般都相对较短，又是母语，所以理解 起来比较容易，只需在做题时把握
每句话的考点，考虑如何将句子意思用英语难确地表达出来即可。
二、常用翻译方法和技巧
1.词类转译法
在翻译过程中，由于英汉两种语言在使用 范围，表达方式方法和习惯上都不尽相同，常
常要把原句中的词类或语法成分进行转换。

38

1）转译成动词。
[例1]We are
exporters
of the above goods, having a background of some 30 years.
我们
出口
上述商品，已经经营了30来年。（名词转译成动词）
在句中“exporters”原为动词加后缀形成的名词．在句中含有较强的动作意味，且后
面又跟有 of加名词词组的结构，这类词在翻译时往往译成动词。
[例2] In his article the author is
critical
of man’s negligence toward his
environment.
作者在文章中
批评
了人类对自身环境的疏忽。（形容词转译成动词）
在句中形容词“critical”在译文中被转译成了动词。英语中作表语的形容词往往可以
译成动词 ，从而完整通顺地表达原文的意思。另外，用以表示知觉、感情和欲望等心理状态
的形容词在翻译时往往 可以转换成动词。如
He was fully
aware
what the consequences would be.
他十分清楚地
知道
后果该会如何。
[例3] I barreled straight ahead,
across
the harbor and out
over
the sea.
我笔直向前高速飞行，
越过
港口，
飞临
海面。（介词转换成动词）
在句中介词“across”“over”在译文中被转译成了动词。英语中介词使用得特别多，
这与汉语不同。很多构成状语的介词短语在翻译时可将其中的介词译成动词，而介词短语中
的名词则成 了动词的宾语。经过这样处理后，译文才符合汉语的表达习惯。
[例4] He opened the door to let the dog
out
.
他打开门让狗
出去
。（副词转换成动词）
在句中副词“out”在译文中被转译成了 动词。英语中具有动态意义的名词、形容词、介
词和副词，在汉译时常常转译成动词。
2）转译成名词。
[例1]His speech
impressed
the audience deeply.
他的演讲给听众留下深刻的
印象
。（动词转译成名词）
在句中动词“imp ressed”在译文中被转译成了名词。一些由名词派生的或由名词直接转用
的动词在翻译成汉语时往 往找不到相应的动词，可将其转译成名词。
[例2]The new contract would be
good
for 5 years.
该新合同的
有效期
为五年。（形容词转译成名词）
在句中形容词“good ”在译文中被转译成了名词。有些形容词很难在汉语中译成相应的形
容词，而改译成名词后，就摆脱了原 文的束缚，从而使译文通顺流畅。

39

[例3]Aside from offering financial support, work can keep us healthy not only
physically
but also
mentally
.
工作除了能给我们提供财政上的支持外，还能够保持我们的
身心
健康。 （副词转译成
名词）
在句中副词 “physically”“ mentally”在译文中被转译成了名词。
[例4]The unit of weight is the gram,
that
of length is metre, and
that
of capacity
is litre.
重量的 单位是克，长度的
单位
是米，容积的
单位
是升。（代词转译成名词）
在句中代词 “that”在译文中被转译成了名词。
3）转译成形容词。
[例1]Independent thinking is an absolute
necessity
in study.
独立思考对学习是绝对
必要的
。（名词转译成形容词）
在句中名词 “necessity”在译文中被转译成了形容词。
[例2] 那个家伙总是
滔滔不绝地讲个不停
。
That fellow is very
talkative
. （动词转译成形容词）
在句中动词 “滔滔不绝地讲个不停”在译文中被转译成了形容词“talkative”。又如：
Let me try it on to see if it
fits
.让我试试看它是否
合适
。
[例3]The president had prepared
carefully
for his journey.
总统为这次出访作了十分
周密的
准备。（副词转译成形容词）
在句中副词 “carefully”在译文中被转译成了形容词。带有形容词意味的动词、由形容词< br>派生的名词、带不定冠词作表语的名词和—些副词等在翻译时往往转译为形容词。
4）转译成副词。
[例1]When he catches a glimpse of a potential antagonist, his
instinct
is to win
him over with charm and humor.
只要一发现有可 能反对他的人，他就
本能地
要用他的魅力和风趣将这人争取过来。（名
词转换成副词）
在句中名词 “instinct”在译文中被转译成了副词。
[例2]In order to make
better
use of the materials people have studied their
properties.
为了
更好地
利用这些材料，人们研究了其特性。（形容词转译成副词）
在句中形容词 “better”在译文中被转译成了副词。

40

2. 增减法
增减法是指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达方式，在翻译时适当添
加或删减 一些词、短句或句子，以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义，使译文在语法、语
言形式上符合译文习惯 和文化背景。
1）加词法
[例1]He dismissed the meeting without a closing speech.
他没有
致
闭幕词就
宣布
结束会议。（增加动词）
在句中为了使译文通畅，译文中增加了动词“致”和“宣布”。
[例2]Day after day she came to his work——sweeping, scrubbing, cleaning.
她每天来干话——扫
地
，擦
地板
，收拾
房间
。。（增加名词）
在句中译文把英文原文中的不及物动词sweep, scrub和 clean的逻辑宾语补充了出来，
在译文中分别增加了名词“地”、“地板”和”房间”。
[例3]Jefferson’s courage and idealism were based on knowledge.
杰斐逊的勇气和理想主义是以
广博的
知识为基础的。（增加形容词）
在句中译文增加了形容词“广博的”。
[例4] At the meeting he made a speech——eloquent and energetic．
他在会上发表了讲话——
非常
动听有力。（增加副词）
在句中译文增加了副词“非常”。
[例5] 你明天不去，他们会生气的。（增加连词）

If
you don’t go there tomorrow, they’ll get angry.
在句中为了表达原文中的连接关系，在译文里增加了连词 “if”。
[例6]How about calling him right away?
马上给他打个电话，
你觉得
如何? （语法加词）
在句中，为了符合汉语的 表达习惯，译文增加了主语和谓语。由于英汉两种语言在句型
和语法结构上存在很大的区别，在翻译时为 了保持译文正确的逻辑性和流畅的表达，往往需
要增加一些在原文中被省略的成分或者词语。
2） 减词法
[例1] I put on
my
zip suit and went out.
我穿上拉链服．走了出去。（省略代词）
[例2] The fox may grow grey, but never good.
狐狸会变老，但是不会变好。（省略冠词）

41

[例3] If winter comes, can spring be far?
冬天来了，春天还会远吗？（省略连词）
3.反译法
英语和汉 语中往往均可用肯定形式或否定形式表达同一概念。但是，由于英汉表达习惯
的巨大差异，有时，英语中 的肯定形式可以甚至必须译成汉语中的否定形式、而英语中的否
定形式却宜译作汉语中的肯定形式。
[例1]Wet Paint! 油漆
未干
！（正说反译）
[例2]I have read your articles, but I expect to meet an older man.
我读过你的文章，但没料想你这样
年轻
。
[例3]I regret to learn that you have failed in the examination.
得知你
未能
通过考试，深表遗憾。（正说反译）
[例4]How she longed to
unsay
her tactless words!
她多么希望收回她那些不得体的话啊! （反说正译）
[例5]The sea was,
unfortunately
, very rough that day.
可惜，那天的海浪很大。（反说正译）
[例6]This bird is an
unusual
winter visitor to Britain．
这种鸟很少冬季到英国来。（反说正译）
4.分译法与合译法
分译法是把一个长而复杂的句子译成若干个较短、较简单的句子。合译法是把若干个短
句合并成一个长句 。
[例1]What is good, I suppose, is that many people are concerned about TV’s influence
and that we have the power to change what we don’t like.我以为，好在有许多
人关心电视的影响，而我们也有能力改变我们所不喜欢的东西。
此句中有一个插人语，同时还包含有—个主语从句和两个表语从句。翻译时，为了使译
文符合汉语的表达习惯，须将原文进行拆分，译成相对独立的分句。
[例2]There are men here from all over the country. Many of them are from the South.
从全国各地来的人中有许多是南方人。
此句中，译文将原文里的两个分句合译成了一个单句，使其比较符合中文的表达习惯。
5.被动语态的译法

42

英汉两种语言都有被 动语态，但由于表达习惯上的差异，两种语言对被动语态的运用却
不尽相同。同一个意思，英语往往习惯 用被动语态来表达，而汉语则用主动语态来表达，因
此，翻译时经常进行语态的转换是十分必要的。在英 译汉时，大量被动语态的句子需要通过
种种方法加以处理，以保证译文通顺流畅地表达原意。
1）译成汉语主动句
英语中很多被动句子在表示行为主体的词前都加上by，翻译时可将这类by
结构中的宾语译 成主语，而将原来的主语译成宾语。有些英语被动句并未在句中出现表示行
为主体的词或词组，在翻译这 类句子时．可适当增添一些不确定的主语．如“人们”、“有
人”、“大家”、“我们”等。
[例1]Heat and light can be given off by this chemical change.
这种化学反应能放出热和光。
[例2]Salt is known to have a strong corroding effect on metals.
大家知道，盐对金属有很强的腐蚀作用。
2）译成汉语无主句
英语中有些被动句不 需要或无法说出行为的主体，因此，翻译时往往译成汉语的无主句。
这时，原句中的主语一般译成宾语。
[例1]Water can be shown as containing impurities.
可以证明，水含有杂质。
[例2]That question needn’t be brought in.
不必牵涉这个问题。
3）译成汉语被动句
有些英语被动句着重被动的动作。因此，翻译时仍应译成被动句，以突出 原句的被动意
义。由于汉语的动词无词形变化，所以只能通过添加词的方法来表示被动。常添加的词一般
有“被”、“由“、“受”、“给”、“为”等。
[例1]She was blamed for everything her sisters did.
她为妹妹们所做的事而受指责。
[例2]An invitation to come to the home for a meal or a longer visit is usually given
by the hostess.
通常，邀请客人到家吃饭或是作较长时间的访问，都是由女主人发出的。
4) 译成汉语判断句

43

有些英语被动句着重描写事物的过程、性质 和状态，这类句子实际上与系表结构很相
近，因此，翻译时可将原句的主语仍译成主语，后跟“是……的 ”结构。
[例1]The decision to attack was not taken lightly.
进攻的决定不是轻易作出的。
[例2]Printing was introduced into Europe from China.
印刷术是从中国传入欧洲的。
6.定语从句的翻译
定语从句在英语中大量 出现，它有长有短，结构有简有繁，对先行词的限制有强有弱。
定语从句有时起补充说明和分层叙述的作 用，或在逻辑上表示原因、目的、条件、让步和结
果等等意义。在语序上，英语的定语从句位于被其修饰 的词语之后。所以汉译时必须正确体
会原文的逻辑概念，合理安排译文的语序，按汉语的表达方式处理行 文。
1）压缩法
这种译法就是把英语的定语从句压缩成汉语的一个句子成分，也就 是译成汉语中带
“的”的词组。当定语从句较简短而且与先行词关系密切，则把这个带“的”的汉语定语 词
组置于被其修饰的词语之前，从而把英语的复句译成汉语的单句。
[例1]That’s the reason
why she spoke
.
这就是她
为什么发言的
理由。
[例2]The war,
which had gone on for more than ten years
, was over.
那场
延续了十年之久的
战争结束了。
2）溶合法
把定语从句译成汉语的谓语，同时把主句译成汉语的词组作主语，二者溶 合，译成独立
的简单句。由于限制性定语从句与主句的关系密切，所以此法较适用于翻译带限制件定语从
句的复合句，尤其是翻译“there be…”结构的句子。
[例1]There was another man
who seemed to have answer
．
另外有一人
似乎胸有成竹
。
[例2]This poem
which almost everybody knows
is by Tennyson.
丁尼生写的这首诗
几乎人人皆知
。
3）拆译法
如果定语从句冗长复杂，不论是限制性的或是非限制性的．往往可以译成 并列句，放在
主句的前后，有的还可以完全脱离主句而独立成句。
[例1]There will come a day
when he will become a well- known musician
.

44

将来总有那么一天，
他将成为一位著名的音乐家
。
[例2]We are the first to be faced with decisions
that will determine whether the earth
our children will inherit will be habitable
.
我们是第一个将要面临抉择的—代 。
我们的抉择将决定我们的孩子所要继承的地球还能
否居住
。
4）转译法
英语中有些定语从句在逻辑上对主句起着状语的作用，说明原因、结果、条件和让步等
等关系。翻译时可译成各种并列句，或转化为相应的状语从句后译成汉语的偏正复句。
[例1]There was something original, independent, and heroic about the plan
that pleased
all of them
.
这个方案富于创造性，独出心裁，很有魄力，
所以他们都很喜欢
。
[例2]Don’t you feel it strange that she should be so much ungrateful to Jack,
who
did so much for her when she was in poverty
?
在她穷困 之时杰克帮了她那么多忙
，但她竟然对杰克如此忘思负义．难道你对此不觉得
惊讶吗?
7.长难句译法
长句中从句、短语互相交替，句子复杂，增加了翻译的难度。但是不管句子有 多长，基
本结构都是一样的。所以在翻译长句时，首先要找出主句和从句，理清句子的主语、谓语和宾语，逐一分析各句子的意思和各层意思之间的逻辑关系，然后再按照汉语的习惯表达方式
把句子意 思准确表达出来。
1)顺译法
如果英语原文中描述的一连串动作发生的时间和长句 的逻辑关系与汉语表达方式相近，
可以按原文的顺序译出。例如：
If we wish to find out the truth of a matter, we must approach the question with
as nearly open a mind as we can and with a deep awareness of our own limitations and
predispositions.
如 果我们希望发现一件事的真相，我们就必须尽可能地以开放的心态来看待问题、并且
要充分意识到我们自 身的局限性和倾向性。
2)逆译法
有些英语长句表达顺序与汉语表达习惯不同甚至 完全相反，为了使汉语通顺可以按照汉
语叙事说理的习惯重新组合句子，逆序翻译。例如：

45

Such is human nature in the west that a great many people are often willing to
sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers.
许多人常常宁愿放弃比较高的工资以换取成为白领工人的社会地位，这在西方倒是人之
常情。
这句句子的主句为Such is human nature in the west，翻 译时．将such引导的主语
从句先译，然后将主句放在最后翻译，作为定论，这更符合汉语的表达习惯 。
3)分译法
有些英语长句．主句和从句或修饰部分之间的关系不很紧密，而 汉语常使用短句表达，
翻译时可以把长句中的从句和修饰部分译成短句，分开来表达。例如：
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose shadow we stand today, signed
the Emancipation Proclamation.
100年前，一位美国伟人签署了《解放宣言》；今天，我们就站在他的纪念像前。
4) 拆译法
有些英语长句中的从句、短语等在翻译时往往可以从主句中独立出来，单独形成句子，
这些句子可前置、亦可后置。在翻译中采用拆译法可使译文简洁流畅，符合汉语的表达习惯。
This land, which once barred the way of weary travellers, now has become a land
for winter and summer vacations, a land of magic and wonder.
这地方现在已成了冬夏两季的休假胜地，风光景物蔚为壮观,而从前精疲力尽的旅游者只
能到此 止步。
原文中主语有一个非限制性定语从句，翻译时将此定语从句拆译，放在主句的最后，这
样就很好地表达了原文的意思，又使译文符合汉语的行文习惯。
在很多情况下，翻译一个句子 并不只是单纯地使用一种翻译方法，而是要求我们把各种
方法综合使用。着眼篇章，以逻辑分析为基础， 或按照时间的先后，或按照逻辑顺序，顺逆
结合、主次分明地对全句进行综合处理，同时使用转换法、反 译法、增减法、分合法等多种
翻译技巧，以便把原文通顺忠实地翻译过来。以下列举10道大学英语三级 翻译真题。
1.“Wealth”in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things
that money can buy. （2005.6真题）
译文：从这个意义上来讲，“财富”不是钱，因为我们不是靠钱维持生命，而是靠用钱买来

Part IV Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 3 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 center.
Passage One
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:
Today television is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the home. Some people in places
where television reception is good may think that television has taken the place of radio. Television, however, is
actually a kind of radio. It uses special equipment for sending and receiving the picture. The television sound
system uses the same type of equipment that is used in other forms of radio.

52

Exchanging messages with ships at sea was one of the first uses of radio. Modern radio is still used for this
purpose and for communication across oceans. On land radio provides a means of instant communication even
with moving vehicles such as taxicabs or service trucks.
Police forces use two-way radio to get information to and from officers in squad cars (警备车) and on
motorcycles. Small portable sets make it possible to communicate with a central exchange while walking or riding
in a city or over a rural area. Observers in airplanes can report traffic accidents, and traffic jams by radio to police
officers on the ground.
Radiotelephones are used in many places. Connection with the regular telephone service can be provided for
boats, trains and cars. Isolated places in deserts, forests, and mountainous regions are linked by radiotelephone in
many parts of the world. Thus by means of radio people can communicate with others wherever service is
provided.
ing to the passage, television _____
A )has taken the place of radio
B)is no longer popular in the home
C) can be regarded as a kind of radio
D)has nothing in common with radio
paragraph two, “this purpose” refers to _____.
A)exchanging messages with ships at sea
B)communicating across oceans
C)sending and receiving the picture
D)instant communication with moving vehicle
ing to the passage, radio is used in the following ways EXCEPT _____.
A)at sea
B)on land
C ) in the air
D)underground
word “Isolated” in the last paragraph means _____.
A)sandy and mountainous
B)clean and not polluted
C )without any living things
D)separated or distant
best title for the passage is _____.
A) Television and Radio
B)Radio and Its Uses
C)Radio and Radiotelephones
D)Modern Communication
Passage Two
Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:
The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when
Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog
had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he
was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would
murmur “Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning Prince ran off to
the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams’s daily paper but with a half-ounce packet
of William’s favorite tobacco, John Rhiney’s Mixed. A gun-dog (猎狗) by breed, Prince possessed a large soft

53

mouth specially evolved (进化) for the safe carrying of hunted creature, so the paper and the tobacco came to no
harm, never even showing a tooth mark.
Williams was a railway man, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil fuel. He had
no work at odd times – “days”, “late days” or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work
and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If
Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of
the family. On his return, Williams’s slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously
undelivered.
A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and the ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and
fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in
bed for three days and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing
over fifty pounds.

Passage Three
Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:

54

The failed Skylab (空间站) will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month, but
it will fall we know not where.
That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.
The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12-sstory building, will
break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4000 mikes long.
We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our
attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.
What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere.
Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of
hundreds of miles an hour, and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.
What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and small
pieces, although project officials say there is very little chance that anyone will be injured by them.
That is good to know, but it does not remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear
accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what scientists had assured us as to the
safety of the nuclear reactor.
the Skylab will fall _____.
A)cannot be predicted even by computer
B)is kept secret from the whole world
C)is made public to all countries
D)is predicted by the scientists involved in the program
broken Skylab will _____.
A)be in two lumps – one weighing 2 tons and the other weighing 10 tons
B)fall with the force of a 12-story building
C)cover a large round area
D)break into 12 big pieces and hundreds of smaller ones
the fourth paragraph, we are told that _____.
A)people usually do not pay attention to the environment
B)people expect to be exposed to dangers in their daily existence
C)the accident makes people worry about our safety on the earth
D)most people consider their life boring
author refers to the accident of Three Mile Island _____.
A)to express his doubts about scientists’ assurance
B)because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear reactor
C)to remind the reader of the terrible accident
D)because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were built by the same company
does the author mainly try to tell us in the passage?
A)Science and technology need improving.
B)Science may bring disasters to the human race.
C)People should not readily believe experts.
D)Ordinary people are more imaginative than scientists.
Part V Translation from English into Chinese
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined sections, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the
passage carefully, translate the underlined sections into Chinese. Remember to write your translation
on the Translation Sheet.

55

English is not only used as a foreign language, it also has some kind of special status (地位) in those countries
where it has been chosen as an official language. This is the case in Ghana and Nigeria, for example, where the
governments have chosen English as the main language to carry on the affairs of government, education,
commerce, the media, and the legal system. (76) In such cases, people have to learn English if they want to get
success in life. (77) They have their mother-tongue to begin with and they start learning English, in school
or in the street, at an early age. For them, in due course, English will become a language to fall back on – when
their mother-tongue proves to be inadequate for communication – talking to people from a different background,
for example, or to people from outside the country. For them, English becomes their “second” language.
In 1985, the population of India was estimated to be 769 million. English is an official language here, alongside
Hindi. (78) Several other languages have special status in their own regions, but English is the language of
the legal system; it is a major language in Parliament; and it is a preferred language in the universities and in the
all-India competitive exams for senior posts in such fields as the civil service and engineering. Some 3,000
English newspapers are published throughout the country. There is thus great reason to learn to use the language
well. In real terms, (79) the English speakers of India may only number 70 million – a small amount
compared with the total population. On the other hand, this figure is well in excess of the population in Britain.
When all the estimates for second-language use around the world are added up, we reach a figure of around 300
million speakers – about as many as the total of mother-tongue users. But we have to remember that most of these
countries are in parts of the world (Africa, Sough America) where the population increase is four times as great as
that found in mother-tongue countries. (80) If present trends continue, within a generation mother-tongue
English use will have been left far behind.

Part IV Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 3 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 center.

Passage One
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:
Many people who are rich are also well-known. Ted Sweeney was an exception to this rule. His family moved
to San Francisco from Los Angeles when he was one month old. That’s where he grew up. At the age of seventeen
he was hit by a train. Although he was not seriously hurt, the railroad paid him $$25,000. Instead of going to
college he bought a small store. Six months later the government bought his land to build a new highway. He sold
it for $$95,000.
With this money he moved to Detroit. He started a small company that made parts for the car manufacturers. It
was very successful and by the time he was 23 he was a millionaire. When he was 24 he got married. He and his
wife had three daughters in the next five years. By the time he was 30 he had over ten million dollars.
Then tragedy struck. He was involved in a traffic accident. He did not die but his wife and daughters did. Six
months later he sold everything he owned and put his money in stocks. Ted then moved to New York. He lived for
the next forty years in a one-room apartment.
He spent most of his days wandering through the city looking in garbage cans for food. He never worked. He
rarely talked to anyone except himself. Most people were afraid of him. His clothes were always old and dirty.
Shortly before he died he moved back to Los Angeles. After spending two weeks there he was put in jail
because he had no money and no job. City workers tried to help him. They offered him work but he would not
work. Towards the end he would not talk to anyone at all.
When he died, he was a lonely man. But someone remembered his name. They knew he had lived in Detroit
and had been successful. It was learned that he had put his stocks in a box at a Detroit bank. After they were sold
and all the taxes paid, there was still over a hundred million dollars left.

61. Where did Sweeney grow up?
A、Los Angeles
B、Detroit
C、San Francisco.
D、New York.

62. Sweeney became successful in business by _______.
A、making car parts

61

B、selling his land to the government

D、depositing money at a bank

63. Which of the following statements about Sweeney's life in New York is implied in the passage?
A、He led a poor life there.
B、He made many friends there.
C、He was not allowed to work there.
D、He stayed in jail for some time there.

64. How old probably was Sweeney when he died?
A、Over 50. B、Over 60.
C、Over 70. D、Over 80.

65. What can we conclude from the passage?
A、People may not be aware of their wealth.
B、Sweeney became rich by selling food cans.
C、Sweeney lost all his money in the stock market.
D、People may be rich but not well- known.

Passage Two
Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:
If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find
the gifted few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system,
however, has no such choice, for the jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily upon
science and technology for our progress, we produce specialists in many fields. Because we live in a democratic
nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to
support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and
users of scientific services.
In education, there should be a balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking
and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance
involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts, but also relative emphasis
among the natural sciences themselves.
Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is
continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be
allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis of courses for
beginners.

66. According to the passage, the task for the public school system is _______.
A、easy
B、unnecessary
C、complicated
D、simple

67. Whom must the public school educate according to the writer?
A、Specialists only.

62

B、Both common people and specialists.
C、Common people only.
D、Both experts and officials.

68. The writer believes that the public school education must take care of_____.
A、the natural sciences only
B、the social sciences only
C、the arts only
D、all useful fields

69. Which of the following does the writer think most important to students?
A、Both newly-found and well- established knowledge.
B、The basis of courses for beginners.
C、The latest developments in science and technology.
D、The work of experts.

70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A、Judging the Work of Experts.
B、Education and Knowledge.
C、Subjects in Public School System.
D、Balance in Education.

Passage Three
Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:
Dear Mr. Paul,
Well, I’ve just signed the lease(租约) and I’m opening my own radio and TV repair shop. Even though I
haven’t finished half the course yet, the practical experience I had before I started and what I’ve learned from you
folks so far makes me feel I can make a go of it.
I guess that gives you some idea why I’ve gotten a little behind in my payments. I think I owe you for three
months right now. It takes a lot of money to start a shop, fix it up and get all the tools and equipment.
Everybody’s been very nice to me. The companies I approached have all agreed to give me credit even though
I'm new and never did any business with them before. Well, you folks have known me for nearly six months now
and until recently I’ve always paid on time. You know what can be made in this business and from the good
grades and reports I’ve had on my assignments I think you know I have what it takes to make this business a
success.
So I’m asking you to do what the people who don’t know me have done. I want to complete the course just as
fast as I can. The more I know the better I can do, but I want you to give me credit. I want to finish the course and
pay you when the shop starts earning money.
Maybe six months from now, I’ll have an easy time paying. In the meantime keep me going and you can count
on getting your money when I’m through. I’ve got to hold on to all my money for working capital.
I'll appreciate your cooperation.

Very truly yours,
John Johnson

71. This letter was written to ask for permission _____.

73. How does the writer feel about his new business?
A、Uncertain.

C、Satisfied.
D、Confident.

74. In the letter writer promises that he will _____.
A、try hard to earn money
B、eventually pay for the course

B、“make the business expensive”
C、“get the business started”

Part V Translation from English into Chinese
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined sections, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the
passage carefully, translate the underlined sections into Chinese. Remember to write your translation on the
Translation Sheet.

Nearly every day, giant tankers carry 8 million barrels of oil from Saudi Arabia (沙特阿拉伯) to refineries (炼
油厂) around the world. But after the recent bombing in Riyadh, energy analysts (分析家) are nervously
reassessing(重新评估) the stability of supplies of crude from the oil kingdom.
Since oil prices are relatively high entering winter, Americans will notice any further problems in Saudi Arabia
as they fill up their gas tank or pay for home heating oil.(76) The price for West Texas crude closed above $$32 a
barrel last week, the highest point since the beginning of October and up from about $$25 a barrel last year at this
time. The higher price of crude is already reflected in steeper costs than last season: home heating oil is up some
19 cents a gallon, and gasoline is 9 cents a gallon higher. “The only thing keeping prices above $$25 a barrel is fear
of terrorist (恐怖分子) activity,” says Dennis Gartman, publisher of the Gartman Letter, an influential political
and economic newsletter. (77)“All things being equal and if there are no terrorist attacks, these are very high
prices.”
The US depends heavily on Saudi Arabia for oil. In terms of that arrangement,(78) one key concern, says Mr.

64

Gartman, is the long distance that Saudi Arabia moves its oil to terminals (终点). “The pipelines are long and
exposed as they move across the desert,” he says. “I don’t care how vigilant (警觉) you are, there are places that
you are not defending.”
So far, however, there have been no attacks on the pipelines, producing areas, or terminals. The most recent
attack was on a housing complex. But energy analysts are taking seriously such a target - more political than
economic - particularly since (79) Saudi Arabia is the second-largest supplier of oil to the United States and
represents one-third of all oil produced by OPEC (石油输出国组织).
(80)“The problems should remind us how dependent we are on Saudi oil production,” says Robert Hormats,
vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International in New York. “We have an interest in a stable Saudi Arabia.”

Part IV Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or some 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 center.

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
One of the best –know proverbs must be “early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy ,and
wise .” The promise of health ,wealth , and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retirees and rises must
be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society .There is no doubt that one of the greatest
concerns of modern man is his health .It is estimated that in the United States $$200 billion are spent on healthcare
each year. The medical filed has grown into such a big business that it employs 4.8 million people .
Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent years .This is probably due to the
increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an
important role .In his book Aerobics ,Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so
effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail ,and literally millions of readers have put on their
sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over 17 million
people are jogging .Many of these are so serious that they trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards of
the hard and tiring marathons (马拉松) that are organized all over the country .The last time I was in Honolulu ,I
was amazed to see hundreds of people ,young and old ,running for their lives .And I discovered many of them
have run in the Hawaiian Marathon .Exercise has also become a major part of conversation .At a dinner party
recently ,the president of a bank asked me ,”you look like a runner how far do you run each day ?” A few days
later when I appeared on a national television show ,the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner .On both
occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found that this is a subject on many people’s
minds.
61 The “early rises” mentioned in Paragraph 1 are ______.
A) people who go to bed early B) people who have a lot of money
C) people who get up early D) people who give up their work early

62 What does the writer think of the $$200billion spent on health care each year?
A) It’s a big sum of money
B) It’s a huge waste of money.
C) Most people can’t afford the expensive medical treatment.
D) The medical field provides a lot of job opportunities.

63 According to the passage ,nowadays what people are interested in is ______.
A) how to be a millionaire
B) how to keep fit
C) how to win the Hawaiian Marathon
D) how to develop aerobics in America

64 Why are the examples of conversation in the second paragraph used?
A) To show a usual way of starting a conversation
B) To show the change in people’s conversation topics.
C) To show the importance of running
D) To show people’s interest in exercise .

72

65 Aerobics is a book about ______.
A) marathon B) preventive medicine
C) traveling D) exercise

Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:
Teacher evaluations(评价) have been carried out in a lot of schools in recent years .Every term the students
are given the opportunity to evaluate their teachers. The students are supposed to judge their teacher’s
lectures ,interests in students’ problems ,methods of exercise, and general ability to conduct a class .Then ,when
the teacher has left the classroom ,they must write their evaluation on the forms provided .They are not supposed
to exchange views or discuss their responses .After everyone has completed the forms, one student collects and
puts them in envelopes.
It is very difficult to evaluate another person’s performance fairly. For example ,Santa recently wrote
irresponsible remarks about her teacher because she was failing the course .Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous
description of the same teacher because he was receiving an A in the course .Both Santa and Sam were not fairly
evaluating the teacher .they were influenced by the grades they were earning and were unfair in their judgments.
Another irresponsible form of evaluation occurred when James rated his teacher excellent because the
teacher is “easy”. He gives few tests and only assigns (分配) one paper during the entire term .His lectures are
often filled with jokes and endless stories about his family .On the previews and post-test reviews, and packed his
lectures with information.
Santa ,Sam ,and James have not though about their teacher’s teaching abilities .They have written unfair
evaluations and have not given thought to their evaluations .They have not made fair judgments, but instead have
been influenced by their own personality and have equated(使等同)little work with excellence in teaching.

66 Santa and Sam judged their teacher by ______.
A) his teaching ability B) his humorous stories
C) the grades that they were earning D) his marvelous remarks

67 James’ evaluation was influences by ______.
A) the amount of coursework B) his own performance
C) the teacher’s ability D) the teacher’s family background

68 The word “easy” (line 2,para.3 ) most probably means ______.
A) not difficult B) not proud
C) not strict D) not serious

69 The students didn’t evaluate their teachers fairly because ______.
A) it was difficulty for them to do it .
B) they didn’t know how to make judgments
C) their personality affected them a lot
D) they received unfair treatment.

70 The best title for this passage is ______.
A) Teacher Evaluations B) Students Judgment
C) Easy and Tough teachers D) How to be Fair


73

Questions 71to 75 are based on the following passages:
There is probably no sphere of human activity in which our values and life styles are reflected more vividly
than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear .The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that
communicates a complex set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are
formed .Traditionally ,women cared much about their clothes ,while men took pride in the fact that they were
completely lacking in clothed consciousness.
This type of American culture is gradually changing as men’s dress takes on greater variety and color .Even
as early as 1995.a research in Michigan revealed that men attached rather high importance to the value of clothing
in daily life .White-collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol of control, which could be used to
impress or influence others ,especially in the work situation. The white-collar worker was described as extremely
concerned about the impression his clothing made on his superiors .Although blue-collar workers were less aware
that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing ,they recognized that they would be laughed at by their
fellow workers if they were any different from the accepted pattern of dress.
Since that time ,of course ,the patterns have changed :the typical office worker may now be wearing the blue
shirt ,and laborer a white shirt but the importance of dress has not decreased .Other investigators in recent years
have helped to establish its significance in the lives of individuals at various age levels in different social and
economic groups.
71 Our values and lifestyles are probably reflected most vividly in ______.
A) any sphere of human activity B) the clothes that we wear
C) the sign language people use D) complex set of information

72 In a word of changes, men’s clothes have become ______.
A) various and colorful B) traditional and formal
C) fashionable and colorful D) reasonable and formal

73 Traditionally ,people thought that ______.
A) men were proud of the clothes they wore
B) women were concerned greatly with their clothes
C) both men and women paid great attention to their clothes.
D) neither men nor women showed great interest in clothes .

74 Blue-collar workers were aware of their clothes because ______.
A) they were extremely concerned about their impression on their superiors.
B) they knew clearly that people would judge them by their clothes.
C) they wanted to impress and influence their fellow workers
D) they didn’t want to be laughed at by their fellow workers

75 The passage mainly suggests that______.
A) women pay more attention to their clothes than men do
B) women always like beautiful dress
C) people have attached more importance to dress
D) American culture is changing greatly

carefully ,you should translate the numbered parts into Chinese .Remember to write your translation on the

74

Translation Sheet.
It has been found that less than one shopper in five makes a complete shopping list before going to the
store .(76)The reason for this is that seven out of ten of today’s purchases are decided in the store ,where the
shoppers tend toward impulse (冲动)buying .(77) Buying groceries on impulse has risen for the past forty
years ,and this rise has coincided(重合)with the growth of self-service shopping .However ,in grocery stores
where clerks wait on customers there is much less impulse buying .(78) It is hard for people to buy on impulse if
they have to address a clerk.
Psychologists have joined forces with merchandising experts .It is their job to persuade people to buy
products which they may not need or even want until they see them attractively presented. It was discovered by
the psychologists that shoppers want help in their purchases.(79)Having so many choices confuses them ,and they
prefer the package that attracts them .Therefore it is now more usual for food packers to pay attention to their
package design.(80)Attraction depends heavily on the position of the product on the
shelf ,however .Thus ,persuading the shopper to buy s easier if the product is located at eye-level.

Part IV Reading Comprehension
Direction: There are 3 passage 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 single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:
In some countries as many a nine out of ten adults read at least one newspaper a day. Seen in purely
business terms, few products can ever have been so successful in reaching as much of their market. Why do so
many people read newspapers?
There are five basic functions of a newspaper to inform, to comment, to persuade, to instruct and to
entertain. You may well think that this list of functions is in order of importance but, if so, you would not be in
agreement with the majority of the reading public. Of the two broad categories of newspaper, the popular and
the quality, the former has a readership of millions, while the latter, only hundreds of thousands. Yet the
popular papers seem largely designed for entertainment. They contain a lot of comment and persuasive
language. The quality newspapers put a much higher value on information and a much lower one on
entertainment.
It is not only in content that the two kinds of paper differ. There is a difference, too, in the style in which

79

the articles are written. The popular papers generally use more dramatic language with a lot of word-play.
Their reporters tend to use shorter sentences and avoid less well-known vocabulary. This means that popular
newspapers are easier for a native speaker to understand, though probably not for a non-native speaker.
In order to decide whether a newspaper is quality or a popular one it is not even necessary to read it, since
you can tell simple by the way it looks. Popular papers are generally smaller with fewer and shorter articles.
But they have bigger headlines and more photographs.
of 500,_______adults read a newspaper every day according to the passage.
A)400 B)425 C)450 D)475
does the writer describe a popular newspaper?
A)It carries many articles and few photographs.
B)It is intended to educate people.
C)It contains a lot of information.
D)It aims at entertaining people.
of the following words could be used in place of “categories” in Paragraph 2
A)forms B)types C)texts D)parts
tend to read a quality newspaper more often?
A)Politicians B)Foreign visitors C)Sports fans D)Housewives
does the last paragraph tell us about the two kinds of newspaper?
A)Their difference in appearance and volume.
B)Their difference in the information given.
C)Their difference in readership and price.
D)Their difference in the language used.
Passage Tow
Question 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:
“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good.”These are the statements my mother used to
make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push
our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was
all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them
calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to teachers and went on vacation.
Now, teachers,faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years are
realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who say of her students-“so
passive”-and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television says Klompus,
contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus. “We’re talking
about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for
them .Instead of saying ‘go look it up ’,you tell them the answer .It takes greater energy to say no to a kid .”
Yes ,it does. It takes energy and it takes work .It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to
work .It’s time to take the car away ,to turn the TV off , to tell them it hurts you more than them ,but it’s for their
own good .It’s time to start telling them no again.

Directions :In this part there is a passage 5 underlined parts ,numbered 76to reading the passage
carefully ,you should translate the numbered parts into Chinese. Remember to writer your translation
on the Translation Sheet.
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday
perceptions( 感觉，知觉) ,the bases for the decisions we make ,and the roots of our habits and skills are to be
found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory .
(76)Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use . It includes not only
“remembering” things like arithmetic or historical facts ,but also involves any change in the way an animal
typically behaves .(77)Memory in involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has smelled something
wrong in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child to swig a baseball bat.
(78)Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers,
for example, contain devices for storing data for later use It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity
of a computer with that of a human being. The instance memory of a large computer may hold up
to100,000”words”—read for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about
100,000words of English.(79)However, this is only a very small part of the total amount of information which the
teenager has stored.
Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.
(80)The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem- solving intelligence of human beings. A large part
of a person’s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.

Part IV Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 3 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
center.

Passage One
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:
Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days’ holiday with an
uncle who had just returned from abroad. He rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely
spent much time there. The cottage, however, had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the
windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle had
had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey
that I would have preferred to go to bed, but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting
tales.
He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had, when there
was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” shouted my uncle, with a loud laugh.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met our
eyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed (坍塌), falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I
was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have
been seriously injured, perhaps killed.
That night we all slept on the floor of the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our
lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for
London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the
kind of adventure he cared for, either!
61. What does the writer say about his uncle during the war?
A ) He had a lot of adventures. B ) He fought as a soldier.
C ) He made a lot money. D ) H e enjoyed many of his adventures.
62. When did the story most likely happen?
A ) In the spring. B ) In the summer.
C ) In the fall. D ) In the winter.
63. Why did the writer wish to go to bed at first?
A ) His uncle’s stories made him sleepy.
B ) He thought his uncle’s stories would be boring.
C ) He was really tired from the long journey.
D ) He had the habit of going to bed early.
64. Why was the writer glad after the accident?
A ) He realized he would have a good sleep.
B ) He had a narrow escape from death.

88

C ) He had heard many exciting stories.
D ) He had experienced a great adventure.
65. What did the writer’s uncle most likely do with the cottage after the accident?
A ) He sold it to others. B ) He returned it to the landlord.
C ) He bought it and had it repaired. D ) He gave it to his neighbors.

Passage Two
Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:
Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risks of some sort. The house
owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship owner knows that
his vessel may be lost at sea; the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family
the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, nor every vessel lost at sea. If
these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few
who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the
many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured” and
those who control the pool of the contributions as “insures”.
Not all risks lend themselves to bring covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary
risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is
not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be
estimated.
The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract on thick
paper of the best quality. It states that in return for regular payment by the insured of a named sum
of money, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of
money for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens.
66. Why does the writer mention the father in the passage?
A ) The writer uses the father as an example to illustrate his point.
B ) The writer believes the father knows better than mother.
C ) The writer wants to persuade the father to buy insurance.
D ) The writer wishes to set an example for fathers.
67. Which of the following can be covered by insurance?
A ) All risks of business. B ) All houses damaged by fire.
C ) Goods with clearly marked prices. D ) Things whose values can be estimated.
68. What do insurers firmly believe?
A ) No one can avoid any risks. B ) People don’t like to spend their money.
C ) Almost all people trust insurance. D ) Most people like to help others.
69. What does “premium” (Para.3) most probably mean in the passage?
A ) The money paid for the loss. B ) The contribution of insurers.
C ) The money paid by the insured. D ) A printed form of contract.
70. What is main idea of the passage?
A ) Insurance is a way of sharing risks among people.
B ) Only a few people suffer loss in their daily life.
C ) Insurance is not worth buying.
D ) Insurance has a solid legal basis.
Passage Three
Question 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:
Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (欺骗). When someone tells you something

89

that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For
example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (抽奖给奖法). It was great. I took that
dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe
not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser! He
didn’t say anything that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That’s called a half- truth.
Half-truth are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Dishonest politicians often use this method. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last
term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of the
politicians opposing her runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost millions!” That’s true.
However an honest statement would be have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two
million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims, so they try to mislead
you with the truth. An ad might claim, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimple (丘
疹).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes are the truth
can be lie as well.
71. What does the writer want to tell us with the example of the lottery winner?
A ) People lose a lot of money in buying lottery tickets.
B ) Lottery makes its buyers dishonest.
C ) He was lucky to win the lottery.
D ) He did not tell the whole truth.
72. What does the passage imply about Governor Smith?
A ) She created more job opportunities than ever before.
B ) She was opposed by many people in her state.
C ) She did a good job in her last term.
D ) She was most honest politician.
73. What does the writer mainly say about half-truths?
A ) They are false claims. B ) They are popular with people.
B ) They are nothing but lies. D ) They are as dishonest as lies.
74. What is the writer attitude toward half-truths?
A ) Doubtful. B ) Negative.
B ) Neutral. D ) Positive.
75. What does the word “mislead” ( Para. 3 ) most likely mean in the passage?
A ) Mistake. B ) Inform.
C ) Cheat D ) Guide.

Part V Translation from English into Chinese
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the passage
carefully, you should translate the numbered parts into Chinese. Remember to write your translation
on the Translation Sheet.

The “standard of living” of any country means the average person’s share of the goods and
Services which the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore, depends first and
Foremost (最重要地) on its capacity to produce wealth. ( 76 ) “Wealth” in this sense is not money,
for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: “goods” such as good and
clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainment.

90

( 77 ) A country’s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which
have an effect on another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’s natural resources,
such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on.
( 78 ) Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is, perhaps as
well as the U.S.A. , rich in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external
wars, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable
political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural
resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well
served by nature but less well ordered. ( 79 ) Another important factor is the technical efficiency
of a country’s people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous
skilled craftsmen (工匠) and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose
workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. ( 80 ) As a country becomes wealthier,
its people have a large margin (余地) for saving, and can put their savings into factories and
machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working days.
76. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can
buy:

center.
Passage One
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:
Why don’t birds get lost on their long migratory(迁徙的)flight? Scientists have
puzzled over this question for many years .Now they are beginning to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago ,experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours ,But what

95

about birds that fly mainly by night ?Tests with artificial(人造的)stars have proved conclusively that certain
night-flying birds are able to follow stars in their long-distance flights .
Once such bird—a warbler—had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky .Yet it
showed an inborn ability to use stars for guidance .The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at
migration time .The bird tired to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor change in the
position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight .
Scientists think that warblers ,when flying in daylight,use the sun for guidance .But stars are apparently their
main means of directed flight in the night .What do they do when stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently,they find
their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges ,coast lines and river when it is too dark to see
these ,the warblers circle helplessly ,unable to find their way .

A)Some birds fly mainly by night .

C)To know the right words D)TO know the answer .
Passage Two
Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage :
How men first learned to invent words is unknown .All we really know is that men ,unlike
animals ,somehow invented sounds to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things ,so that they could
communicate with each other;and that later they agreed upon certain signs ,called letters ,which could be
combined to represent those sounds ,and which could be written down .Those sounds ,wheather spoken or written
in letters ,we call words .
The power of words,then,lies in their associations –the things they bring up before our minds .Words
become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer we live,the more certain words recall to us the
happy and sad events of our past;the more we read and learn ,the larger the number of words that mean something
to us becomes .
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which
appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings .This attractive use of words is what we call literary style .Above

96

all ,the real poet is a master of can express his meaning in words which sing like music ,and ,by their
position and association,can move men to tears .We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and
use them correctly,or they will make our speech dull and silly.

Passage Three

In the 1800’s,train roared into stations, They were symbols of progress and expansion .They played as much of
a role in American’s history as presidents and generals .
The first American railroads were built in the late 1820’ early railroads provided cheap transportation for
shippers and travelers .To encourage the railroads to expand into unsettled lands ,President Millard Fillmore
signed a series of landgrant acts(土地拔赠法案)in the 1850’ acts gave the railroad companies ownership
