[解析] 本题考查同位语从句。同位语从句通常由that引导,对其前面的名词作进一步解释,that只起连接作用,不担当从句的伍何成分。A项which只能引导定语从句,并在从句中作为某一语法成分;B项what引导主语、宾语,表语从句,并在从句中担当某一语法成分,D项how也引导主语、宾语、表语从句,并在从句中作为某一语法成分。所以C项为正确答案。 [参考例句] We were all excited at the news that our annual sales had more than doubled. (我们都为年销售量翻了一倍多的消息感到激动。)

[解析] 本耳考查动词时态.本题应将从句中的时间状语作为切人点,“by the end of next month”是个具有标识性的表示将来时间的时间状语,因此应用将来完成时。所以选项D正确。 [参考例句] By the end of this year the factory will have produced 20,000 cell phones.(到今年年底,这家工厂将生产出两万部手机。)
6. It is important to provide an environment ______ people are encouraged to make suggestions at all lev- els of the company.

A.did I realize
B.I did realize
C.I have realized

A B C D
A
[解析] 本题考查not until结构。当not until置于句首时,句子需要部分倒装,即把谓语的一部分 (通常为助动词或系动词)置于主语之前。另外,句中that day表明应用过去时。所以A项为正确答案。 [用法拓展] 几种常见的应用倒装的结构:a)句首为否定词或含有否定意义的词,如:seldom, rarely, hardly, never, no, little, few, at no time, not only...but also...,no sooner...than...hardly/scarcely...when...等;b)句首为only+副词/介词词组/状语分句:c)在虚拟语气中省略if,把 were, should, had放在主语前;d)在as引导的让步状语从句中,把形容词、副词、名词置于句首。 [参考例句] (1)Not until midnight did it stop mining.(直到午夜雨才停。) (2)Seldom have I seen such a beautiful creature.(我从未见过这么漂亮的生物。) (3)Hardly had the teacher entered the classroom, when his pupils stopped chatting.(老师一走进教室,学生们就停止交头接耳。) (4)Only in this way can we lean English well.(只有这样我们才能把英语学好。)

C
[解析] 本题考查宾语从句的引导词。句中on为介词,意为“关于”,其后应选用what引导的名词性从句,作介词on的宾语,what在从句中担当主语,而that引导宾语从句时,that在句子中不担当任何语法作用。所以C为正确答案。 [参考例句] (1)He said that he had finished his homework.(他说已经作完作业了。) (2)He asked what else he should finish.(他问还有什么应该完成。)

A B C D
B
[解析] 本句是一个含有宾语从句的主从复合句,而宾语从句中又含有一个定语从句。宾语从句中的 meet the requirements应译为“符合要求”,而A项译为“履行职务”不正确。C项和D项的翻译中出现的“得知你们招聘电气工程师”偏离本句原意,因此均不正确。因此,B为正确答案。
2. As you have done the market survey, I would like to discuss with you the possibility of selling our prod- ucts in the US.
A.因为美国产品有市场,所以我们要研究开发我们产品的可能性。
B.因为你有市场资料,所以我希望与你讨论美国产品的销售情况。
C.你已经做了市场调查,所以我想和你讨论在美国销售我们产品的可能性。
D.你已了解了市场,因此我希望能与你商讨在美国开发我们产品的可能性。
A B C D
C
[解析] 本句是一个含有原因状语从句的主从复合句。翻译要点在于:do the market survey意思是“做市场调查”,选项D译为“了解市场”不准确;B项译为“有市场资料”也不准确,另外没有译出possibility为“可能性”,A项则完全偏离了原意.所以选项C为最佳答案.
3. The general manager must act as a kind of public relations person as well as the head of the company's management.
A.总经理不仅要当好公关人员,而且要领导好公司。
B.总经理作为公关人员,也一定要当好公司的领导。
C.总经理不仅是公司的管理首脑,还必须起某种公共人员的作用。
D.总经理要管理好自己的公司,首先必须管理好公司的公关人员。
A B C D
C
[解析] 简单句。其中的as well as为固定词组,意为“不但……而且……”。在翻译成汉语时,要特别注意其逻辑顺序和英语相反.而选项A,B和D都译错了此结构的逻辑顺序。另外act as应译为“作为……起作用”,而不应仅翻译为“作为”。因此,综合来看,选项C为最佳答案。
4. The study shows that our computers are superior to those of our competitors in terms of functions and speed.
A.研究表明,我们的计算机在功能和速度两方面都优于我们的竞争对手。
B.研究表明,我们的计算机与我们的竞争者的产品在功能和速度两方面有差异。
C.研究表明,我们的计算机在效率和速度方面都与不同。
D.研究表明,我们的计算机面临着高速发展的其他厂商的竞争。
A B C D
A
[解析] 本句是一个含有宾语从句的主从复合句。翻译的关键在于对be superior to的理解。be superior to是“优于”的意思,而B项译为“有差异”,C项译为“不同”,D项则漏译。另外function意为“功能”而不是“效率”。因此,综合以上分析,选项A为最佳答案。
5. Movie-goers(电影院常客)across China will now only pay half price for tickets Tuesday, which will start in July. Any movie shown on Tuesday will be half price, even for new movies. The purpose is to bring people back to the cinema on Tuesday, when numbers of audiences are the lowest of the week. Some cinemas in Beijing and Shenzhen that began offering such discounts in advance have seen an increase in audiences Tuesday evenings.
[解析] 本文为说明文,介绍影院推出的周二打折优惠政策的背景和目的。说明文翻译时应做到清晰明确,避免含糊不清。在翻译非限制性定语从句时,应适当运用分译法,即将其与主句分别译为两个并列句。例如第一句中的which will start in July单独成句,译为“此规定将从七月开始”。再如第三句中的非限制性定语从句when numbers of audiences are the lowest of the week也应单独成句,译为“周二的影院上座率在一周内是最低的”。采用分译法等翻译技巧就是要避免英语和汉语在句子结构上的差异带来的理解错误。
