D.电子邮件使全世界的家庭和朋友们能更加便利地进行交流。
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题句型为allow sb. to do sth. 意思是“使某人做某事”。主语是E-mail;谓语是allows;宾语是families and friends around the world,其中around the world作定语修饰families and friends;communicate在本句中是“交流”的意思,at a low price是“以低价”的意思,作方式状语修饰communicate;所以本题的最佳翻译是B项。
3. It is only recent years that man found that the protection of our environment is no small matter to our fives.
A.直到近年来人们才发现,保护环境对我们的生存至关重要。
B.直到近年来人们才发现,环境保护在我们的生活中并不是一件小事。

A B C D
[解析] 本段第一句中,with后面跟的是伴随状语,在翻译成中文的时候,鉴于其同前面句子有着因果关系,因此翻译成汉语时用因果关系的并列句较好,这样句式结构才符合汉语的说法。同样,最后一句也是with后面跟状语,此时,因为后面的状语部分较长,因此把这句话拆开翻译较好。最后一句中that this sea-side resort has to offer直译的话就是“这个海滨胜地提供的…”,也不符合汉语的语言习惯,因此在翻译时,应省略掉has to offer,直接翻译成“这个海滨胜地的…”。
