44、I wasnt at all frightened. Perhaps I should have been. There was someone there. I felt somehow that the personand I couldnt see _23_ it was a man or a womandid not mean to harm me. _24_ I wasnt frightened, I still wasnt sure what to do. Should I walk on towards the end of the street and towards the
45、light and towards the person? Or should I go back the way I had come? I decided to walk on towards the light.The “guide”, as I called the person later, stood and waited _25_ I was halfway down the street, and then started walking ahead of me. Even now I couldnt describe him or her: he or she seemed
46、_26_ (dress) in a long gown, but there was a dim light all around him or her. Certainly I felt safe and followed the person down several streets that I did not know. It was a part of town, I realized, that I _27_ (warn) about, but nothing happened to me, and as soon as we were near the bright lights
47、 of the main road, my “guide” just _28_ (disappear).The following day I heard that a young person had been killed _29_ (walk) home alone not very far from _30_ I was that night.

49、路。结合句意表示“从回家的路上”，短语为on ones way home from。故填from。【22题详解】考查情态动词。句意：大多数人可能会感到害怕，也许是受惊，但我一点也不害怕。根据后文“perhaps terrified”可知，此处表示对过去情况的猜测，表示“将会”或“可能会”，应用would或might。故填would/might。【23题详解】考查宾语从句引导词。句意：不知怎么地，我觉得那个人我看不出是男是女并不想伤害我。此处为宾语从句，结合后文“it was a man or a woman”可知为短语whetheror，表示“是还是”。故填whether。【24题详解】考查状

52、，这是镇上的一个地方，有人警告过我，但我什么事也没发生，当我们靠近大路上的明亮灯光时，我的“向导”就消失了。此处缺乏谓语，结合上文“we were near the bright lights of the main road”可知，事情发生在过去，应用一般过去时。故填disappeared。【29题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：第二天，我听说一个年轻人在离我那晚所在的地方不太远的地方独自步行回家时被杀。a young person had been killed 9 (walk) home alone已有谓语 had been killed且无连词，动词walk在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑

The o
59、nly reason that this should spoil the trade deal talks, said Mr. Henig, was if one or both sides keep their positions on a matter of principle. Since the start of the talks, the EUs concern has been to avoid having a(n) _39_ competitor close to its single market, seizing an advantage through lax (宽松

72、in the late 17th century a tax was _50_ on malt, a basic ingredient of beer. The poor turned to water and gin, and in the 1720s the death rate began to rise again. Then it suddenly dropped. What caused this?Macfarlane looked to Japan, which was also developing large cities at the same time. Waterbor

On the other hand, a large number of progressives protest that literacy is much more complicated than a simple technical mastery of reading and writing. This second position
129、is supported by most of the relevant academic work over the past 20 years. These studies argue that literacy can only be understood in its social and technical context. In Renaissance England, for example, many more people could read than could write, and within reading there was a distinction betwe

He hoped that the ultra-healthy lifestyle he advocates to players had kept his own body young and healthy, too.( 当David Nurse 30岁时，他想知道自己的生理年龄和真实年龄之间的差异。他希望他向球员们倡导的超健康的生活方式也能让
156、他的身体保持年轻和健康。)”以及后文“It is reported that his biological age seems to be 28 years. Two years later, he took another test. (据报道，他的生理年龄似乎是28岁。两年后，他又参加了一次测试。)”可知，上文提到David Nurse想知道自己的生理年龄和真实年龄之间的差异，且后文提到了又参加一次测试，可推测本句与上文构成因果关系，说明David Nurse为此进行了测试，B选项中he指代上文中David Nurse。故B选项“所以他决定做个测试来评估他的端粒的长度。”符合语境，故选B。
157、【68题详解】根据上文“If you google “telomeres”, you are likely to find them described as an ageing clock. They are parts of DNA at the ends of each chromosome that become shorter every time a cell divides.(如果你搜索“端粒”，你可能会发现它们被描述为衰老的时钟。它们是DNA的一部分，位于每条染色体的末端，每当细胞分裂时，染色体就会变短。)”可知，上文提到了“端粒”会在细胞分裂时变短，可知本句承接上文继续说明这
158、种缩短的影响，E选项中shortening对应上文中shorter。故E选项“如果这种缩短发生的很慢，这表明你的身体正在良好地运转。”符合语境，故选E。【69题详解】根据上文“If only it were that simple. Weve discovered that telomeres are an unreliable ageing clock, which raises questions about the effectiveness of ageing tests based on them.(要是有那么简单就好了。我们发现端粒是一个不可靠的衰老时钟，这就提出了基于它们的衰老测
159、试的有效性的问题。)”可知，上文提到端粒是一个不可靠的衰老时钟，说明要判断端粒长度和生活方式选择之间的联系并不像我们想象的那么简单，F选项中straightforward对应上文中simple。故F选项“端粒长度和生活方式选择之间的联系并不像我们想象的那么简单。”符合语境，故选F。【70题详解】根据上文“In1982, Elizabeth Blackburn at the UC, Berkeley, and Jack Szostak at Harvard Medical School worked out the puzzle of how chromosomes remain unchang
160、ed when cells divide.(1982年，加州大学伯克利分校的Elizabeth Blackburn和哈佛医学院的Jack Szostak解开了细胞分裂时染色体如何保持不变的谜团。)”以及后文“The pair called these “telomeres”.

161、一样。)”可知，上文提到了Elizabeth Blackburn和Jack Szostak解开了细胞分裂时染色体如何保持不变的谜团，后文则提到了“端粒”，可知本句应承接上文说明他们的研究结果，D选项中They指代上文中chromosomes。故D选项“它们的末端有重复的DNA单位，阻止它们分离。”符合语境，故选D。第II卷 （共40分）IV. Summary Writing 71.

175、the words given in the brackets. 72. 意外在所难免，一个人必须学会几项求生技能。（in case）(汉译英）【答案】One should learn several/some skills to survive in case of something unexpected.One should learn several/some skills to survive in case something unexpected occurs.【解析】【详解】考查状语从句，情态动词和动词。分析句子可知，句子用一般现在时。主句是“一个人必须学会几项求生技能”，主语
176、“一个人”译为one，should“应该；必须”，接动词原形“learn学会”作谓语；宾语“求生技能”译为“skill to survive”，由several或some修饰用复数。“意外在所难免”用in case引导的目的状语从句，或者in case of短语；“意外的事情”译为“something unexpected”；“发生”译文occur，主语是不定代词，谓语动词用单数。故译为One should learn several/some skills to survive in case of something unexpected.One should learn several/
177、some skills to survive in case something unexpected occurs.73. 身处逆境时, 要处乱不惊, 越怕越糟糕。（the more) (汉译英）【答案】The more fearful/frightened you are, the worse the situation will be, so keep calm and think soundly/wisely when you are in trouble.Keep calm and think soundly/wisely when you are in trouble, becau

180、 but missed Yu Garden cannot claim/say that they have been to the city.No wonder people say that no one can claim/say that he has been to/ visited Shanghai, if he missed Yu Garden/if he hasnt been to / visited Yu Garden.【解析】【分析】【详解】考查动词时态、定语从句和名词性从句。句意：难怪人们说: “到上海不去豫园就不算去过上海”。No wonder难怪；people人们；sa
181、y说；those那些；who have visited Shanghai but missed Yu Garden到过上海不去豫园的人；cannot claim/say不能说；they have been to the city他们去过上海。分析句子结构，除了定语从句中的谓语动词have visited和missed，句子中还有四处谓语动词no wonder、say、cannot claim/say、have been to，因此可以处理为三个宾语从句，no wonder后面需用that引导宾语从句，从句不缺成分；say后面需用that引导宾语从句，这个从句中those为主语，cannot c
182、laim/say为谓语；they have been to the city.为第三个宾语从句，不缺成分，用that引导。整个句子主干陈述客观事实，为一般现在时，定语从句和最后一个宾语从句使用现在完成时。故可译为No wonder that people say that those who have visited Shanghai but missed Yu Garden cannot claim/say that they have been to the city.。或者no wonder难怪；people人们；say说；that no one can claim/say that h
183、e has been to/ visited Shanghai没有人能说他到过上海；if如果，此处处理为条件状语从句；he missed Yu Garden/if he hasnt been to / visited Yu Garden.他错过了豫园/没去过豫园，故可译为No wonder people say that no one can claim/say that he has been to/ visited Shanghai, if he missed Yu Garden/if he hasnt been to / visited Yu Garden.。故答案是No wonder
184、that people say that those who have visited Shanghai but missed Yu Garden cannot claim/say that they have been to the city.No wonder people say that no one can claim/say that he has been to/ visited Shanghai, if he missed Yu Garden/if he hasnt been to / visited Yu Garden.75. 是他的过于自信造成了这种局面；他还没有真正理解
185、“兼听则明” 的道理。(result) (汉译英）【答案】It was his being over-confident ( about himself )/ too self-confident that resulted in the situation because he hasnt fully understood / didnt fully understand the truth that if you listen to both sides, you will hear the truth.【解析】【分析】【详解】考查强调句，原因状语从句，以及同位语从句。第一个分句强调“是他
186、的过于自信”，在英语中强调除谓语动词之外的其它句子成分，用强调句表达，强调句结构是“it +be+被强调部分+that/who+其他句子成分”；“他的过于自信”用his being over-confident ( about himself )/ too self-confident表达；提示词“result”意为“导致，造成”，是不及物动词，后面跟宾语时，要加介词in，构成短语 result in；“这种局面”用the situation表达；结合句意可知，此处讲述的是发生过的事情，应用过去时态，所以第一个分句可翻译为：It was his being over-confident ( a
187、bout himself )/ too self-confident that resulted in the situation。分析句意可知，前后两个分句之间为因果关系，第一个分句“是他的过于自信造成了这种局面”表示结果，第二个分句“他还没有真正理解 兼听则明的道理”表示原因，做原因状语，原因状语用because引导；分析第二个分句句意可知，此处应用现在完成时态或一般过去时态；“还没有真正理解”用hasnt fully understood / didnt fully understand；“道理”用抽象名词truth表示，“兼听则明”用if you listen to both side
188、s, you will hear the truth表达，是对名词truth的具体内容的描述，且句子中不缺成分，这符合同位语从句的概念，所以此处用同位语从句结构the truth that if you listen to both sides, you will hear the truth；第二个分句完整的翻译为：because he hasnt fully understood / didnt fully understand the truth that if you listen to both sides, you will hear the truth。故整个句子可翻译为：It
189、was his being over-confident ( about himself )/ too self-confident that resulted in the situation, because he hasnt fully understood / didnt fully understand the truth that if you listen to both sides, you will hear the truth.【点睛】汉译英时，首先要分析句子结构，确定是简单句还是复合句。如果是复合句，就要进一步分析并确定复合句的类型，以及所需要的连词；再逐个分析各个句子成
