They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. City-dwellers are obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have the time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to pavement may remind that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium. Tall buildings blot out the sun. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere. Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.

Task 5 Directions: After reading it, you are required to complete the answers that follow the questions (No. 1 to No. 5). You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly. There are many ways of putting out a fire. You may have seen people put out burning cigarettes by stepping on them. Stepping on a burning cigarette shuts off the air and puts out the fire. Many fires are put out with water. Water cools the material that is burning. It helps smother(熄灭) a fire, too. Some of the water is changed into steam when it strikes the hot fire. The steam shuts off air from the fire and helps put it out. Some fires cannot be put out with water. They have to be smothered with sand or with chemicals of some kind, such as those used in some fire extinguishers (灭火器). Suppose a tank full of gasoline is on fire. Gasoline is lighter than water. If you poured water into the tank of gasoline, the water would sink to the bottom of the tank. The gasoline would float on the top of the water and would probably keep on burning. If you keep on putting water on the fire, the gasoline would flow over the edge of the tank. Then the fire would spread.

water, sand or chemicals.
[解析] 细节题。本题考查文中提到的灭火方法有哪些,答案见第2段“You may have seen people put out burning cigarettes by stepping on them”,第3段“Many fires are put out with water”,第4段 “Some fires cannot be put out with water. They have to be smothered with sand or with chemicals of some kind”。

Part Ⅳ Translation—English into Chinese Directions: This part, numbered 1 to 5, is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. Each of the four sentences (No. 1 to No. 4) is followed by three choices of suggested translation marked A, B, and C. Make the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. And then write your translation of the paragraph (No. 5) in the corresponding space on the Translation/Composition Sheet.
1. Retired people may feel lonely for being away from their former work and colleagues.______
A.退休的人虽然摆脱了繁忙的工作,却常常喜欢找老同事聊天。
B.退休的人由于离开他们过去的工作和同事,可能会感到孤独。
C.退休的人会觉得难以适应,因为失去了熟练的工作和老同事。
A B C
B
[解析] Retired peoplemay feellonely for being away from their former work and colleagues. 比较三句译文,只有B项的语义最符合原文。原文中的lonely意为“孤独的;寂寞的”;for意为“因为”;former work意为“过去的工作”;colleagues意为“同事”。C项中的“难以适应”“失去了熟练的”,翻译不精确。而A项中的“繁忙的工作”“聊天”等均未出现,故为错误选项。
2. This foreign ventured business declared that it would open up 10 branches in China, which could create about 10,000 job positions.
3. Normally a well-mixed diet can supply the vitamins necessary for a healthy body.
A.正常情况下如果饮食搭配合理,就可提供维持人体健康必需的各种维生素。
B.健康人体内的维生素都是由一般的搭配合理的饮食提供的。
C.一般的搭配合理的饮食都可保证对人体健康所需的各种维生素的供给。
D.一般的搭配合理的饮食和充足的维生素供应是维护身体健康必需的。
A B C D
A
[解析] 本句中包括一个省略形式的定语从句,原句中的vitamins necessary for a healthy body如补充完整应为vitamins which are necessary for a healthy body(维持人体健康必需的各种维生素)。另外副词normally意为“在正常情况下,一般情况下”;well-mixed diet意为“搭配合理的饮食”。结合上述分析,综观四个选项可以发现,选项A提供的译文最贴近原意。选项C的问题在于错将副词normally译为形容词“一般的”,因而不妥;选项B除包括选项C的错误之外,还错将for理解为in,漏译necessary,故不及选项C;选项D完全没有理清饮食结构和维生素的关系,将二者并列起来,与原意出入最大,故最不可取。
4. China's consumer price index in July dropped by 0.9 percent from a year earlier, against a decline of 0.8 percent in June.
