1990年考研英语翻译真题解析范文
1990年考研翻译真题解析46. Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors.结构分析在这个复合句中,代词those做主语,其后who引导的是个定语从句,修饰前面的those,其谓语是believe,后面that引导的是个宾语从句,从句里用了一个被动语态are largely determined by 。
核心词汇nature天性;personalities个性;behavior patterns行为模式;largely主要地,大多是;参考译文在这场争论中,那些赞成“天性”一方的人认为,我们的性格特征和行为模式大多是由生物因素所决定的。

For each question there are four answers. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points)Text 1In May 1989, space shuttle “Atlantis” released in outer space the space probe “Megallan,” which is now on her 15-month and one-billion-kilometer flight to Venus.A new phase in space exploration has begun.The planet Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth; it is the only other object in the solar system, in fact, that even comes close to earth’s size. Venus has a similar density, so it is probably made of approximately the same stuff, and it has an atmosphere, complete with clouds. It is also the closest planet to earth, and thus the most similar in distance from the sun. In short, Venus seems to justify its long-held nickname of “earth’s twin.”The surface temperature of Venus reaches some 900F. Added to that is an atmospheric pressure about 90 times Earth’s: High overhead in the carbon dioxide (CO2) that passes for air is a layer of clouds, perhaps 10 to 20 miles thick, whose little drops consist mostly of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Water is all but nonexistent.Born with so many fundamental similarities to earth, how did Venus get to be so radically different: It is not just an academic matter. For all its extremes, Venus is a valuable laboratory for researchers studying the weather and climate of earth. It has no earth’s oceans, so the heat transport and other mechanisms are greatly simplified. In addition, the planet Venus takes 243 earth-days to turn once on its axis, so incoming heat from the sun is added and distributed at a more leisurely, observable pace.16. Venus is similar to Earth in ________.[A] size and density[B] distance from the sun[C] having atmosphere(D)[D] all of the above17. The greatest value in studying Venus should be to ________.[A] allow us to visit there[B] understand Earth better[C] find a new source of energy(B)[D] promote a new space program18. The main idea of this passage is about ________.[A] problems of space travel[B] scientific methods in space exploration[C] the importance of Venus to Earth(C)[D] conditions on VenusText 2Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one ofRome’s main avenues.Italy’s political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been even more puzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to snake through centralRome.Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capital from all overItalyto demonstrate for “a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a society without violence.” So far, action to improve women’s opportunities in employment has been the province of collective industrial bargaining. “But there is a growing awareness that this is not enough,” says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for Workers.Women, who constitute 52 per cent ofItaly’s population, today represent only 35 per cent ofItaly’s total workforce and 33 per cent of the total number of Italians with jobs. However, their presence in the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerably in services, next to the public administration and commerce as their principal workplace. Official statistics also show that women have also made significant strides in self-employment. More and more women are going into business for themselves. Many young women are turning to business because of thegrowing overall in employment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices have disappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgments on purely business considerations without caring if it is a man or a woman.Such changes are occurring in the professions too. The number of women doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers and university professors increased two to three fold. Some of the changes are immediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as state police, railway workers and street cleaners.However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. A breakthrough in equal opportunities for women is now demanded.19. The expression “snake through centralRome” probably means “to move ________[A] quietly through centralRome.”[B] violently through centralRome.”[C] in a long winding line through centralRome.”(C)[D] at a leisurely pace through centralRome.”20. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] There are more women than men inItaly.[B] InItaly, women are chiefly employed in services.[C] InItaly, women are still at a disadvantage in employment.(B)[D] InItaly, about two-thirds of the jobs are held by men.21. About 200,000 women inRomedemonstrated for ________.[A] more job opportunities[B] a greater variety of jobs[C] “equal job, equal pay”(D)[D] both A and B22. The best title for this passage would be ________.[A] The Role of Women is Society[B] Women Demonstrate for Equality in Employment[C] Women as Self-employed Professionals(B)[D] Women and the Jobs MarketText 3The old idea that talented children “burn themselves out” in the early years, and, therefore, are subjected to failure and at worst, mental illness is unfounded. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright kids is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults.To find this out, l, 500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with these results:On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they had as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. 84 per cent of their group were married and seemed content with their lives.About 70 per cent had graduated from college, though only 30 per cent had graduated with honors. A few had even dropped out, but nearly half of these had returned to graduate. Of the men, 80 per cent were in one of the professions or in business management or semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had office, business, or professional occupations.The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents.In a material way they did not do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth.In fact, far from being strange, most of the gifted were turning their early promise into practical reality.23. The old idea that talented children “burn themselves out” in the early years is ________.[A] true in all senses[B] refuted by the author[C] medically proven(B)[D] a belief of the author24. The survey of bright children was made to ________.[A] find out what had happened to talented children when they became adults[B] prove that talented children “burn themselves out” in the early years[C] discover the percentage of those mentally ill among the gifted(A)[D] prove that talented children never burn themselves out25. Intelligence tests showed that ________.[A] bright children were unlikely to be mentally healthy[B] between childhood and adulthood there was a considerable loss of intelligence[C] talented children were most likely to become gifted adults(C)[D] when talented children grew into adults, they made low scoresSection III Close TestFor each numbered blank in the following passage there are four choices labeled [A], [B], [C], and [D]. Choose the best one and put your choice in the ANSWER SHEET. Read the whole passage before making your choice. (10 points)No one knows for sure what the world would be like in the year 2001. Many books have been written the future. But the 19th-century French novelist Jules Verne may be called a futurologist in the fullest of the word. In his fantastic novels “A Trip to the Moon” and “80 Days Around the World,” he described with detail the aeroplane and even the helicopter. These novels still have a great attraction young readers of today because of their bold imagination and scientific accuracy.Below is a description of what our life will be in the year 2001 as predicted by a writer.In 2001, in the home, cookers will be set so that you can cook a complete meal at the touch of a switch.Television will provide information on prices at the shops as well as news and entertainment. Videophones will bring pictures as well as to telephone conversations.Machines will control temperature, lighting, entertainment, security alarms, laundry and gardening.Lighting will provide decoration as well as wallpaper.At work, robots will take most jobs in the manufacturing industries. Working hours will fall to under 30 hours a week. Holidays will get longer; six weeks will be the normal annual holiday. Men and women will retire at the same age.Our leisure will be different too. The home will become the center of entertainment through television and electronic games. More people will eat out in restaurants they do today; also they will have a much wider variety of food available. There will be a change of taste towards a more savoury-flavored menu. New synthetic foods will form a part of people’s diets.Foreign travel will ; winter holidays will become more popular than summer ones.Also non-stop flights fromBritaintoAustraliaandNew Zealandwill be easily available and much cheaper. Education will become increasingly more important than ever before.26. [A] in[B] of[C] about(C)[D] for27. [A] sense[B] meaning[C] detail(A)[D] implication28. [A] for[B] of[C] on(A)[D] towards29.

(20 points)People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions. (1) They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other. The controversy is often convenientl y referred to as “nature vs. nurture.”(2) Those who support the “nature”side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors. (3) That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory.Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is pre-determined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.Those who support t he “nurture”theory, that is, they advocate education, are often called behaviorists. They claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. F.Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. (4) The behaviorists maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.Let us examine the different explanations about one human characteristic, intelligence, offered by the two theories. (5) Supporters of the “nature”theory insist that we are born with a certain capacity for learning that is biologically determined. Needless to say: They don’t believe that factors in the environment hav e much influence on what is basically a predetermined characteristic. On the other hand, behaviorists argue that our intelligence levels are the product of our experiences. (6) Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development.The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. (7) In the United States, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature”proponents to conclude that blacks are biologically inferior to whites. (8) Behaviorists, in contrast, say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy.Most people think neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior.翻译Section VII: English-Chinese Translation (20 points)1. 他们想要说明,为什么我们具有某些性格特征和表现出某些行为。

1986考研英语一真题及答案
1986考研英语一真题及答案哎呀,说起 1986 年的考研英语一真题,那可真是有得聊啦!我记得当年我准备考研的时候,到处搜罗各种真题资料,当我拿到1986 年的这份真题时,心里那叫一个期待又紧张。
打开试卷,首先映入眼帘的是那些密密麻麻的英文单词和句子。
就说阅读理解部分吧,那些文章的主题五花八门,有关于科学研究的,有探讨社会现象的。
其中有一篇讲的是关于新型能源的开发利用,文章里的专业术语可真不少,读起来还真有点费劲。
不过我静下心来,一个词一个词地去理解,一句一句地去分析,慢慢就找到了感觉。
再看看翻译题,那可真是对词汇量和语法知识的双重考验。
有一个句子是“ The importance of environmental protection cannot be overemphasized” 当时我就在想,这可不能翻译成“环境保护的重要性不能被过分强调”,得调整一下语序,变成“环境保护的重要性怎么强调都不为过。
” 做完这道题,我深深地吸了一口气,感觉自己像是打了一场小战役。
还有作文题,要求写一篇关于“科技对生活的影响”的议论文。
我当时就在脑海里迅速搜索各种例子和观点,什么智能手机让人们的沟通更便捷啦,互联网让信息获取更容易啦。
但是想要把这些想法有条理地用英语表达出来,还真不是一件容易的事儿。
现在回过头来看1986 年的考研英语一真题答案,真的是感慨万千。
每一道题的答案背后,都隐藏着无数的知识点和解题技巧。
比如说,那道关于词汇辨析的选择题,答案选的是“prevalent”而不是“dominant”,仔细一分析,原来是因为语境强调的是普遍存在的情况,而“prevalent”更能准确表达这个意思。
总的来说,1986 年的考研英语一真题虽然和现在的题型、难度有所不同,但它所考察的英语基础知识和运用能力的核心是不变的。
通过研究这份真题,我们可以更好地了解考研英语的出题思路和规律,为我们的备考打下坚实的基础。
就像我当年,通过反复钻研这些真题,不断总结经验,英语水平有了很大的提高。

questions.Put your choice in the brackets on the left.(10points)Text1①There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization.②You find these careersin engineering,in production,in statistical work,and in teaching.③But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance,people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field.④There is,in other words,a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees,of making general judgments.⑤We can call these people“generalists.”⑥And these“generalists”are particularly needed for positions in administration,where it is their job to see that other people do the work,where they have to plan for other people,to organize other people’s work,to begin it and judge it.下一站考研主要经营:【1】公共课全程视频【2】上百门专业课视频【3】各种考研书籍【4】全国500所院校专业课真题与解析(下一站考研信息网QQ号:3116711802)①The specialist understands one field;his concern is with technique and tools.②He is a“trained”man;and his educational background is properly technical or professional.③The generalist—and especially the administrator—deals with people;his concern is with leadership,with planning,and with direction giving.④He is an“educated”man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation.⑤Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator.⑥And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field.⑦Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions.⑧It is your task to find out,during your training period,into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit,and to plan your career accordingly.①Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you--but this is pure accident.②Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job.③At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job;it is primarily a training job,an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.11.There is an increasing demand for________.[A]all round people in their own fields[B]people whose job is to organize otherpeople’s work[C]generalists whose educational backgroundis either technical or professional[D]specialists whose chief concern is toprovide administrative guidance to others12.The specialist is________.[A]a man whose job is to train other people[B]a man who has been trained in more thanone fields[C]a man who can see the forest rather than thetrees[D]a man whose concern is mainly

strong in thehumanities[D]a man who is an“educated”specialist14.During your training period,it isimportant________.[A]to try to be a generalist[B]to choose a profitable job[C]to find an organization which fits you[D]to decide whether you are fit to be aspecialist or a generalist15.A man’s first job________.[A]is never the right job for him[B]should not be regarded as his final job[C]should not be changed or people willbecome suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D]is primarily an opportunity to fit himself forhis final jobText2①At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and,until recent times, unknown to man.②It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain.③Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps.④Man has explored,on foot,less than one per cent of its area.⑤Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions.⑥The Arctic is an ocean,covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe,Asia,and North America.⑦The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined,centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world--the Atlantic,Pacific,and Indian Oceans.①The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre,thus,the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions.②This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the oppositeend of the globe are inhabited.③Thus,more than a million persons live within2,000miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska,Siberia,and Scandinavia--a region rich in forest and mining industries.④Apart from a handful of weather stations,within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree,industry,or settlement.16.The best title for this selection would be________.[A]Iceland[B]Land of Opportunity[C]The Unknown Continent[D]Utopia at Last17.At the time this article was written,ourknowledge of Antarctica was________.[A]very

within2,000miles ofthe South Pole[C]weather conditions within a2,000mile radiusof the South Pole make settlements impractical[D]only a handful of natives inhabit AntarcticaSection III English-Chinese TranslationTranslate the following passage into Chinese.Only the underlined sentences are to be translated.(20points) It would be interesting to discover how many young people go to university without any clear idea of what they are going to do afterwards.(21)If one considers the enormous variety of courses offered,it is not hard to see how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to his interests and abilities.(22)If a student goes to university to acquire a broader perspective of life,to enlarge his ideas and to learn to think for himself,he will undoubtedly benefit.(23)Schools often have too restricting an atmosphere,with its time tables and disciplines,to allow him much time for independent assessment of the work he is asked to do.(24)Most students would,I believe, profit by a year of such exploration of different academic studies,especially those“all rounders”with no particular interest.They should have longer time to decide in what subject they want to take their degrees,so that in later life, they do not look back and say,“I should like to have been an archaeologist.If I hadn’t taken a degree in Modern Languages,I shouldn’t have ended up as an interpreter,but it’s too late now.I couldn’t go back and begin all over again.”(25)There is,of course,another side to the question of how to make the best use of one’s time at university.(26)This is the case of the student who excels in a particular branch of learning.(27)He is immediately accepted by the University of his choice,and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist,emerging with a first-class Honour Degree and very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about.(28)It therefore becomes more and more important that,if students are not to waste their opportunities,there will have to be much more detailed information about courses and more advice.Only in this way can we be sure that we are not to have,on the one hand,a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside of their own subject,and on the other hand,an ever increasing number of graduates qualified in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.。

历年翻译真题原文及参考译文(1)
历年翻译真题原文及参考译文(1)1.1990年英译汉试题及参考译文People have wondered for a long time how their personalities,and behaviors are formed.It is not easy to explain why oneperson is intelligent and another is not,or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are,of course,extremely interested in these types of questions.(61)They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors.There are no clear answers yet,but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed.As one might expect,the two approaches are very different from each other.The controversy is often conveniently referred to asnature vs.nurture.(62)Those who support thenatureside of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors.(63)That our environment has little,if anything,to do with our abilities,characteristics and behavior is central to this theory.Taken to an extreme,this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts.Those who support thenurturetheory,that is,they advocate education,are often called behaviorists.They claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act.A behaviorist,B.F.Skinner,sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings.(64)The behaviorists maintain that,like machines,humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior.Let us examine the different explanations about one human characteristic,intelligence,offered by the two theories.(65)Supporters of thenaturetheory insist that we are born with a certain capacity for learning that is biologicallydetermined.Needless to say,they don't believe that factors in the environment have much influence on what is basically a predetermined characteristic.On the other hand,behaviorists argue that our intelligence levels are the product of our experiences.(66)Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli whichdevelop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development.The social and political implications of these two theories are profound.(67)In the United States,blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests.This leads somenatureproponents to conclude that blacks are biologically inferior to whites.(68)Behaviorists,in contrast,say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy.Most people think neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior.1990年英译汉试题参考译文长期以来人们完全不知道他们的性格特征和行为模式是怎样形成的。

一、文章结构分析(1986)本文强调了要为大学生提供更多课程方面的信息,从而使他们在对各门不同学科进行钻研之后,选择符合自己兴趣和能力的学科。
二、试题具体解析21. 本题考核的知识点是:主从复合句、形式主语。
【句子结构】该句为主从复合句。
句首为if引导的条件从句,主句为it is not hard to see …,可以采用顺译法,保留句子原来的顺序。
主句中it为形式主语,不定式结构to see …为真正的主语。
how difficult it is … abilities为see的宾语从句。
从句的主干结构为how difficult it is for a student to …,其中it为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式结构to select the course,过去分词短语most suited to his interests and abilities做后置定语,修饰先行词the course。
翻译该从句时应将真正的主语内容译出。
【词义确定】variety (of sth)意为“不同种类,多种式样”;suited to sth意为“合适,适当”。
【翻译】如果想一想那些为学生设置的门类繁多的课程,我们就不难发现,对一个学生来说,要选一门符合他的兴趣和能力的课程是多么困难。
22. 本题考核的知识点是:主从复合句、不定式结构。
【句子结构】该句为主从复合句。
句首为if引导的条件从句,主句为he will undoubtedly benefit。
条件句的主干为If a student goes to university,三个并列的不定式结构做目的状语:to acquire … to enlarge … and to learn …。
【词义确定】acquire意为“获得,取得,学到”;perspective意为“看法,观点”。
【翻译】如果一个学生进大学是为了想获得一个对生活前景更广泛的认识,为了扩大思想境界和学会独立思考,那么毫无疑问,进大学对他是有好处的。
23.本题考核的知识点是:固定结构、不定式结构、状语。
【句子结构】该句的主干为Schools often have too restricting an atmosphere to …。
注意,too … to … 结构除了用于“too + 形容词或副词+ to do sth”外,也可用于“too + 形容词+ a / an + 单数可数名词+ to do sth”。
句末为较长的不定式结构to allow …做结果状语。
Atmosphere和不定式之间插入的介词短语with its time tables and disciplines做状语,根据语义,可以译为汉语的原因状语。
【词义确定】restricting意为“限制的”;atmosphere意为“气氛”;allow (sb sth)意为“给予……”;assessment意为“估价,评估”。
【翻译】学校由于受课程表和纪律的约束,气氛往往令人感到过于拘束,使学生没有充分时间对规定要他做的事情有独立的见解。
24. 本题考核的知识点是:插入语,方式状语,主语补语【句子结构】该句的插入语部分I believe可放在句子最前面,从而看成“主谓句+宾语从句”的句型,译为:我认为……。
宾语从句的主干是Most students would profit by …,介词短语by a year of …studies 做方式状语,修饰profit,译为“通过/经过……”。
句末especially those …是从句主语的补语,翻译时可提前跟在主语后。
【词义确定】exploration意为“探测,探索”,这里根据与academic studies的搭配,译为“钻研”。
all rounder意为“多面手”,根据上下文译为“全面发展的学生”。
【翻译】我认为大多数学生,尤其是那些没有偏重某一门课程的“全面发展的学生”,经过一年左右的时间对各门不同学科的钻研,将会从中获益。
25. 本题考核的知识点是:there be句型、后置定语【句子结构】该句的主干结构为there be句型,即There is another side,介词短语to the question …做后置定语,修饰名词side。
其中question后跟有介词短语of how to make the best use of one’s time at university做后置定语,说明其具体内容。
【词义确定】side意为“方面”;介词to意为“属于,关于,对于”;make the best use of意为“充分地利用”。
【翻译】当然,关于一个人如何最充分地利用上大学的时间,还有另外一个方面。
26. 本题考核的知识点是:定语从句【句子结构】该句的主干是This is the case of the student,who引导的定语从句修饰先行词student。
【词义确定】case意为“情形,情况”。
excel in意为“在……方面出类拔萃”;branch of learning 意为“知识的一门分科”。
【翻译】某一学科中出类拔萃的学生就属于这种情况。
27. 本题考核的知识点是:分词结构、名词转译为动词【句子结构】该句的主干为He is immediately accepted by … , and spends his three or four years becoming … , 其中谓语部分为and连接的两个动词短语,前一个是被动语态is accepted by,后一个是spend time doing sth的结构。
分词结构emerging with a first-class Honour Degree and very little knowledge of …做结果状语,由于该部分较长,可单独译成一句。
句末名词从句what the rest of the world is all about做介词of的宾语。
【词义确定】the University of his choice和little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about中choice和knowledge都有动作含义,应译为“选择大学”和“了解外界”。
emerge意为“露头,出现”。
【翻译】他一毕业马上就被一所他自己选中的大学所接受,再花三、四年时间成为一名专家。
结果他以优异的成绩取得荣誉学位,但对外界的一切却几乎一无所知。
28. 本题考核的知识点是:主语从句、条件状语从句【句子结构】该句的主干是It therefore becomes more and more important that …,其中it为形式主语,that从句是真正的主语。
主语从句中嵌套了if条件句,主语从句的主干为there will have to be much more detailed information。
由于主语从句较长,可以先单独译成一句话。
【翻译】因此,如果要学生好好利用他们上大学的机会,就应该为他们提供大量关于课程方面更为详尽的信息和更多的的建议。
这个问题显得越来越重要了。
三、全文翻译发现有多少上大学的年轻人对将来要做什么没有任何明确的想法,将是一件有趣的事情。
(21)如果想一想那些为学生设置的门类繁多的课程,我们就不难发现,对一个学生来说,要选一门符合他的兴趣和能力的课程是多么困难。
(22)如果一个学生进大学是为了想获得一个对生活前景更广泛的认识,为了扩大思想境界和学会独立思考,那么毫无疑问,进大学对他是有好处的。
(23)学校由于受课程表和纪律的约束,气氛往往令人感到过于拘束,使学生没有充分时间对规定要他做的事情有独立的见解。
(24)我认为大多数学生,尤其是那些没有偏重某一门课程的“全面发展的学生”,经过一年左右的时间对各门不同学科的钻研,将会从中获益。
他们应该有更长的时间来决定想拿什么学科的学位,以便在以后的岁月里回顾过去时不会说,“我希望自己是一名考古学家。
如果我没有获得现代语言的学位,就不会成为一名翻译,但现在为时已晚。
我不能回头再重新来过了。
(25)当然,关于一个人如何最充分地利用上大学的时间,还有另外一个方面。
(26)某一学科中出类拔萃的学生就属于这种情况。
(27)他一毕业马上就被一所他自己选中的大学所接受,再花三、四年时间成为一名专家。
结果他以优异的成绩取得荣誉学位,但对外界的一切却几乎一无所知。
(28)因此,如果要学生好好利用他们上大学的机会,就应该为他们提供大量关于课程方面更为详尽的信息和更多的的建议。
这个问题显得越来越重要了。
只有这样,我们才能确保:一方面,我们不会有一帮对自己学科以外的事情完全无知的专家,另一方面,我们不会有越来越多的毕业生具备这个工作世界很少或没有需求的学科的知识。
一、试题结构分析(1987)本文先论述城市对于人类生活的重要性,接着提到城市带来的问题。
最后介绍有关目前这样的城市是否应该保存下去而产生的不同意见。
二、试题具体解析26. 本题考核的知识点是:并列分句。
【句子结构】该句是but连接的两个并列分句,前一分句的主干为Life may seem inconceivable,其中主语后介词短语without urban areas做定语;后一分句的主干是cities are relatively recent development。
【词义确定】inconceivable意为“不可思议的”。
