A.thecapitaloftheMassachusettsBayColony

B.theMassachusettsBayColonyitscapital

C.itwasthecapitaloftheMassachusettsBayColony

D.sothatthecapitaloftheMassachusettsBayColony

参考答案：A

参考解析：句意：1630年英国清教徒定居波士顿后，它成为马萨诸塞州湾殖民

地的首府。thecapitalof…意为”是的首府"，且谓语became后应加形

容词或名词和名词短语。C、D两项均为从句，B项语序不正确。故选A。

determinetheyareheading.

A.towherethedirection

B.thedirectioninwhich

C.thatdirectionofwhich

D.wherethedirection

参考答案：B

参考解析：句意：船只和飞机的驾驶员使用罗盘来决定他们前进的方向。句中

缺少一个宾语，而theyareheading为这个宾语的定语从句，head是不及物动

词，其后需加介词再接宾语。A项中where引导定语从句时相当于“介词

+which”结构，故to与where重复，A项错误。C项of与head搭配错误。D项

中结构错误。故选B。

参考答案：随着美国和中国威胁要对从铝到葡萄酒的各种商品征收关税，两

国正在进行一场单独的经济战，这场战争可能决定谁将掌控下一波计算浪潮。

中国的大学以及像国际商业机器公司和微软等美国科技公司正竞相开发量子计

算机，这种类型计算机的处理预计将非常强大，足以革新制药商、农业公司和

汽车制造商发现化合物和材料的方式。量子计算利用亚原子粒子的运动来处理

现代计算机无法处理的庞大数据量。

参考解析：翻译要点：①imposetariffsonsth对...征收关税。②第一句话

中包含一个that引导的定语从句，可拆译为一个独立分句。③wageabattle

发动战争。④第二句中的同位语中嵌套着一个定语从句，而定语从句中又包含

so-that引导的结果状语从句，可以以该同位语为主语单独翻译成句。

1.在中国人的心目中(consensus),似乎没有一部小说可以与《红楼梦》比肩。2.

《红楼梦》既可以拥有亿万的读者(claim),也带有众多的谜团。3.这部小说是

中国古典小说的巅峰之作，有一般文化的人都可以读懂它(comprehensible),

但是即使很有学问的人也不敢说尽解其奥妙。正因为如此，4.近一百多年来，

这部小说被翻译成多种文字(translate)。5.在国外，这部小说赢得越来越多的

读者，为传播中国文化起到了积极的作用(positive)o

参考答案：1.ThereisaconsensusamongChinesepeoplethatno

novelcancompetewithADreamofRedMansions.

【分析】主要句型结构为：thereisageneralconsensusamongsbthat…

某些人有共识，一致同意某事。competewith竞争，与...抗衡。

2.ADreamofRedMansionsclaimshundredsofmillionsofreadersas

wellasmanymysteries.

【分析】claim声称拥有。拥有这一谓语带有两个宾语，可以用aswellas连

接。

3.ThisnovelisthepinnacleofChineseclassicalnovel,whichis

comprehensibletopeoplewithgeneralculture,buteventhemost

learnedpeopledarenottosaythattheyhavefullyunderstoodits

secrets.

【分析】pinnacle顶峰。第二个分句的主语可灵活变换为非限制性定语从句。

Becomprehensibletosb某人能懂的。

4.Becauseofthis,inthepasthundredyears,thisnovelhasbeen

translatedintomanylanguages.

【分析】translatesthintosth翻译；译。句子主语为这部小说，故用被动

语态。根据句意，翻译小说是过去发生并且已经完成的动作，会对现在造成影

响，从百年前一直持续到现在并且有可能还会持续，故用现在完成时。

5.Inforeigncountries,thisnovelhaswonmoreandmorereadersand

playedapositiveroleinspreadingChineseculture.

【分析】playapositiveroleinsth在...中起到积极作用。两个分句主语

相同，可通过and连接。
