三、听力新闻（本题共2题，每题1.0分，共2分。）

WhichofthefollowingisINCORRECTabouttheexplosion?

16、WhichofthefollowingisINCORRECTabouttheexplosion?

A、Ithappenedalabusdepot.

B、Itkilledmorethan70peopleandinjured26.

C>ItattackedabusfortheUgandancapitalKampala.

D、Thebagexplodedduringthesecuritycheck.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：信息辨认题。根据新闻内容可知，这次爆炸发生在一个巴士停车场；

造成1人死亡，26人受伤；爆炸袭击的是一辆准备前往乌干达首都坎帕拉的大巴

车；爆炸起于一个即将装车的包裹，该包裹在安检过程中爆炸。因此可以判断

［A］、［C］、［D］均正确，［B］错误,为答案。

17、Whomightberesponsiblefortheexplosion?

A、Kampalaterrorists.

B、Nairobiterrorists.

C、Somaliinsurgents.

D、Notmentioned.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：信息推断题。题干关键词为mightbe。新闻最后提到，就在几个小时

前，乌干达警察局长已经警告人们提防圣诞节期间索马里反叛分子可能制造的袭

击。由此可以推测，本次爆炸很可能就是索马里反叛分子制造的。而且新闻中还提

到，去年7月份，索马里组织青年党宣称为造成乌干达首都70多人死亡的爆炸事

件负责，由此也可以作为线索进行推断。因此答案为［C］。［A］、|B］均属于无中生

有。

18、Theword^ephemeral"inthefirstparagraphprobablymeans.

A、well-known.

B、longlasting.

C、short-lived.

D、international.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：语义理解题。由题「定位至首段。首句提至I」aone-hit-wonderpop

star,第二句指出thestar'soriginalhitispaddedwithdrosshurriedlybundled

together,既然CD只是热卖一时，而且内容是匆匆拼凑起来的低劣的东西，可见

不会热很久，因此fame也会是暂时的，故［0为答案。

19、ThebookWorkforceCrisisaimstochangeacorporatepracticebecause

A、itisbadforthedevelopmentofacoipoiation.

B、manycorporateemployeesaregrowingold.

C、ithascalledforthalotofcriticism.

D、manycorporateemployershaverealizeditsproblem.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。由题干中的WorkforceCrisis定位至第二段。迅速浏览一下

上下文，发现第三段第二句提到该书的主旨；公司长期以来对年轻人投资多，把年

长员工推出去的做法必须改变。接着指出原因:...asbabyboomersage,故［B］为答

案。

20、Thebookreviewer'sattitudetowardsthebookisoneof

A^approval.

ambivalence.

C、ambiguity.

D^skepticism.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：态度题。第四段首句指出Theauthors'originalarticlewasalreadyon

shakyground,可见书评人认为该书作者的观点有些站不住脚。然后作者用

Mr.C叩pelli的观点分析原因：至少在美国，有很多方法对人力市场进行补充。例

如，许多生育高峰期出生的人延长下作时间。虽然其下一代人口减少了大约

16%,但再下一代人数比前两代人都多。此外，还有移民和外国人会进一步消除这

种不均衡。由此可以判断，作者对文章观点表示质疑，故［D］为答案。

21、Wecanlearnfromthefifthparagraphthat.

A、USBureauotLaborStatisticsottersinaccuratestatistics.

B、Mr.Dychtwaldobjectstotheauthors,opinion.

C、theUSlaborforcewilleitherrisegreatlyorfallsharply.

D、statisticscanbeusedtosupportdifferentopinions.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。直接定位至第五段。末句指出“首先这是些数据，之后才是

你想用它们来证明什么”，这说明数据是有选择地为人所用，这正是［D］表达的内

容，故为答案。由该句可知，不同的人对数据有不同的解释，这并非是USBureau

ofLaborStatistics提供的数据不准确，只是人们的立场不同面已，排除［A］。首句指

出bothsidescitedtheUSBureauofLaborStatisticsinsupponoftheirease,可以判断

后面提到的两个人是观点对立的双方。由上一段可知Mr.Cappelli认为该书观点

不正确，可以判断这里池是反对的一方，而Mr.Dychtwald则是持肯定态度的一

方，［B］与此矛盾，排除。［C］中的risegreatly和fallsharply在该段没有提及,排

除。

22、Whichofthefollowingcontentsdoesthebookpossiblycover?

A、Solutionstotheshortageoflabor.

B、Discussiononthewasterofresources.

C、Methodsofthearrangementofwork.

D、Possibilityofthereductionoflivingstandard.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：细节题。按照题目顺序定位至末段。第二，三句介绍了Workforce

Crisis这本书的主要内容。第三句提到adiscussionaboutwaysinwhichcompanies

canredesignwork,［C］符合文意，故为答案，首句提到“人力短缺”和“资源浪费”，

这是人们争论的内容，并非书中涉及内容，排除［A］和［B］。第二句提到该书在开篇

提到长期大量的人力短缺会严重降低生活水平。这里并非探讨生活水平降低的可能

性，而是警醒人们注意这一现象带来的负面影响，为后面内容做出铺垫，引起人们

的阅读兴趣，排除［D］。

五、常识（本题共10题，每题1.0分，共10分。）

七、汉译英（本题共1题，每题分，共I分。）

43、人的一生好比马拉松赛跑。人人都有最后一圈，这一圈通常属于人生道路漫

长的老人。七老八十的人，穿过艰难的世途，穿过芸芸众生，穿过重重障碍，于是

到了人生的最后一圈。这一圈路程有长有短，跑得有快有慢。有的人稳健有力，

从容不迫：有的人歪歪凯扭，步子不正：有的人拖拖沓沓，蹒跚不前。也有跑入歪

道的人，或跑不快还要老道的人，或不按竞赛规则乱跑的人，都是注定要失败的。

谁能跑好这最后一圈，谁就是胜利者。

标准答案：Humanlifecanbelikenedtoamarathonrace.Allpeople,especiallythe

agedwhohavealreadyseenmuchoflife,havetofacethelastlap.Septuagenariansand

octogenariansarconthelastlapoftheirlivesafterexperiencingthetwistsandturnsof

sonic,beingslowthemselves,mayintentionallystandinthewayofothers;somemayrun

inviolationofthecompetitionrules.Suchpeoplearcdoomedtofail.

知识点解析：1.第一段第一句话中的“好比”可译为canbelikenedto。2.第一段

第二句中，“这一圈通常属于人生道路漫长的老人”指的是“尤其是那些年长的人需

要面对人生最后一圈”。3.第一段第三句中，“七老八十的人”可以直译为

septuagenariansandoctogenarians。“穿过”在句中指的是“经历”，可根据宾语分别泽

为experiencing,meeting和goingthrough。“艰难的世途”指的是“人生的曲折”,可

译为twistsandturnsoftheirlife；而“芸芸众生''这里指的是“形形色色的人“，可译

为allvarietiesofmortalbeingso4.第二段第二句中的四字格较多，翻译时应注意

英语选词的押韵和对仗工整。具中，,、稳健有力，从容不迫”可译为withsteadyand

easysteps；“歪歪扭扭，步子不正''指的是"脚步蹒跚不稳”，可泽为staggerand

totter；而“蹒跚不前"指的是"犹豫不定”,可译为falteringsteps或是hesitantsteps0

5.翻译第二段第三句时可以在最后一个逗号处断句。“跑入歪道”这里指“耍一些欺

人手段“注定”在此句中有贬义的意味，因此可译为bedoomedto…。

标准答案：因此，谈论美国文学并不是要断称它与欧洲文学截然不同。总体而

言，美国和欧洲一直是同步的。在任何一个时刻，旅行者都可以在两地找到相同的

建筑，相同的服装款式，在它们的书架上也可以找到相同的书。思想像人及商品一

样自由地越过了大西洋，尽管有时要慢一些。当我提到“美国''习惯、思想等时，我

的意图是在该词前加上某种限定性说明，因为美国与欧洲(尤其是英国)之间的差别

经常只表现为程度上的差别，有时仅仅是很小程度上的差别。差异的幅度是非常微

妙的，可能会让一个看待美国的英国人感到困惑，因为此时他所审视的国家从根本

上讲乃是从自己的国家中产生的，在一些方面与自己的国家十分相似，然而却又是

一个地地道道的外国。两国之间有着许多奇特的相同之处以及截然不同的地方。例

如，当我们向街对面的人打招呼时，却发现对方毫无反应，原来自己把一个陌生人

当做朋友了。此时，我们不会感受到(两国间的)亲缘关系，相反，会突然产生一种

陌生感。
