  (Passage One)

  The young people who talk of the village as being dead are talking nothing but nonsense,as in their hearts they must surely know. No,the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that village life is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline(衰落)about a hundred years ago,when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away,and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work,and home was where work was.

  The are still a number of people alive today who can remember. What village life meant the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.

  Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war,new ideas,new attitudes,new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make village life and town life almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high level social welfare for all,there is no point whatever in talking any longer about village life. It is just life,and that a better life.

  Finally,if we have any doubts about the future,or about the many changes,which we have seen in our lives,we have only to look in at the school playground any mid morning;or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed,better clothed,better educated,healthier,prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.

  11.By saying that village is not dead,but village life is dead,the writer suggests that .

  A.those young people who talk of the village as being dead are wrong

  B.the two statements are against each other

  C.village life today is rather uninteresting

  D.village life today is no longer like what it used to be

  12.It was that village life began to take a sharp turn.

  A.about a century ago

  B.during the two world wars

  C.with electricity and motorcars introduced into the village

  D.only recently

  13.As is suggested in paragraph 2,villagers in the past .

  A. lived a simpler life than villagers today

  B. knew fewer people than villagers today

  C. found it difficult to enjoy themselves

  D. liked to wash themselves with cold water

  14.The expression“there is no point whatever in talking any longer about...”in paragraph 3 means that .

  A. there is no end to the talking about

  B. it is harmful to talk about

  C. it is not meaningless to talk about

  D. there is no reason fortalking about

  15.From the passage we can see that the writer' s attitude toward village life is .

  A. positive

  B. negative

  C. neutral

  D. unclear

  (Passage Two)

  One of Britain' s few distinctive contributions to the world culture may be doomed,according to a survey that suggests holiday postcards are being emailed and texted into extinction. More than half of the 1 ,000 holiday-makers interviewed said they had decided to send fewer cards,turning instead to their electronic rivals. A quarter of the respondents dismissed postcards as old-fashioned and slow to arrive. A further 14% admitted that thinking of something to fill the space was too challenging,compared with a call home. Although officially invented by a Hungarian,Emanuel Herrmann,1869,the idea of illustrated cards was taken up with most enthusiasm in Victorian Britain,joining Gothic architecture and landscape gardening as fields in which the country excelled. “If the British postcard did become extinct we would lose for ever something of great importance to the nation,” said Chris Mottershead of Thomson Holiday,which commissioned the poll. He was backed by Marie Angelou of Sussex University,who has investigated the importance of sending and receiving postcards.“Postcards are nothing like phone calls,instant texting and direct photo shots via mobile,”she said.“All these are useful,practical devices,but postcards offer something else,something additional that is not mundane and simply functional,but imaginative and personal. They can evoke the real atmosphere of our holiday in a way that nothing else can do. They' re also for more than a moment with some people adding them to collections built up over years and years.” Postcard-collecting,or deltiology,is third only to coins and stamps in Britain's allied tradition of collecting things. The country's uniquely postcard-related achievements include the invention in 1902 of the“divided back”.With the address taking up half of the writing area,brief postcard scribes became the precursor to today's cryptic text messages.

  16.Based on the survey,the conclusion is that .

  A.holiday postcards were not popular among those interviewed

  B.half of the British are thinking of quitting postcards

  C.holiday postcards may have a gloomy future

  D.a quarter of the interviewed threw away their postcards

  17.Which of the following is NOT a reason why people refuse to send cards?

  A.Sending cards is not fashionable.

  B.Sending cards is slow.

  C.It is difficult to think of something to write on the cards.

  D.It's difficult to find a suitable card to send.

  18.According to the text,the significance of postcard is that it is one of those that .

  A.were invented by foreigners

  B. have a long history

  C. were Britain's s own creation

  D. Britain used to be proud of

  19.According to Marie Angelou, .

  A.postcards are totally different from phone calls,instant texting,and the like

  B.postcards don ,t function as well as phone calls,instant texting,and the like

  C.postcards function better than phone calls,instant texting and the like

  D.there is more to postcards than its practical functions

  20.What is NOT a reason why some people support cards?

  A.They can evoke the atmosphere of holiday.

  B.They are convenient.

  C.They can be collected.

  D.They are imaginative and personal.

  (Passage Three)

  Before the grass has thickened on the roadside verges and leaves have started growing on the trees it is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full of discarded fast food cartons. Years ago I remember travelling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags,discarded bottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays,Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?

  The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away,it stays in the undergrowth for years:a semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now. Firstly,it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However,it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago,the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister,Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested,of course. However,they need not have bothered;the idea was killed before it could draw breath,leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.

  What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined effort,both individual and collective,before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast municipal rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy,people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by squalor,they behave squalidly. Now,much of Britain looks pretty squalid.What will it look like in five years?

  21.The writer says that itis agood time to see Britain before the trees have leaves because .

  A. Britain looks perfect

  B. you can see Britain at its dirtiest

  C. you can see how dirty Britain is now

  D. the grass has thickened on the verges

  22.According to the writer,things used to be .

  A. worse abroad

  B. the same abroad

  C. better abroad

  D. worse,but now things are better abroad

  23.To solve the problem of plastic bags,Michael Meacher .

  A.followed the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags

  B.tried to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags

  C.made no attempt to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags

  D.had problems with the plastics industry who weren’t bothered about the tax

  24.As to what can be done,the writer thinks .

  A.it is too late to do anything

  B.we are at the tipping point

  C.there is more than one way to solve the problem

  D.we need to work together to solve the problem

  25.The writer thinks that .

  A.people are squalid

  B.people behave according to what they see around them

  C.people are clean and tidy

  D.people are like a vast municipal rubbish tip

  (Passage Four)

  The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth,so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.

  In the international market,goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances,they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations,we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market,what prices they are quoting (报价),what features their products have,who are their regular customers,etc. Then,how can we obtain such information?

  There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor’s offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays,our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot. Certainly,face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course,there are some other ways of making market investigations.

  26.In making market investigation,one should .

  A. get enough information concerned

  B. advertise his products

  C. produce high quality goods

  D. none of the above

  27.The word“indispensable”in the first line means .

  A. impossible

  B. essential

  C. advisable

  D. available

  28.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

  A.The relationship between market investigation and sales promotion is just as that of the lips and teeth.

  B.It is impossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigation.

  C.There are various ways of making market investigation.

  D.Production goes before market investigation.

  29.Making market investigation is very important because .

  A.in market,goods on sale are numerous

  B.every producer is facing keen competition

  C.it can greatly promote sales

  D.all of the above

  30.All the following are channels to get market information EXCEPT .

  A.to have commercial counselor’s office of our embassies stationed abroad

  第四部分 英译汉

  【答案】

  1.第一句:本句包含一个由though引导的让步状语从句。句子比较简单,翻译时直译即可。应注意had在此处不要直接翻译成“有”,要引申一下它的含义,翻译为“赚取,获得”比较合适。

  2.第二句:本句包含一个由that引导的宾语从句,从句中的there would be是虚拟语气。句子难度不大,翻译时直译即可。

  3.第三句:本句是一个简单句,翻译时直译即可。注意the richest指的是一类人,不是单纯的形容词最高级形式。

  4.第四句:本句包含一个由when引导的时间状语从句。句子主干是he left behind him money and will。句子难度不大,翻译时直译即可。应注意will的译法,will在此处不是情态动词而是名词,意思是“遗嘱”。

  5.第五句:本句是一个简单句,主干是his money was placed in a fund。according to his will在句中作状语,为了符合汉语的表达习惯,在翻译时可以适当增译,译为“根据他遗嘱的内容”。句子比较简单,翻译时直译即可。

  6.第六句:本句是一个简单句。句子结构简单,翻译起来不难,顺译即可。注意此处的interest应译为“利息”,而非“兴趣”。

  7.第七句:本句是一个简单句,顺译即可。

  8.第八句:本句是一个简单句,顺译即可。

  9.第九句:本句是一个复合句,句子后半部分的the country they came from中包含一个省略了that/which的定语从句。句子难度不大,翻译时直译即可。需要注意的是,句中的be chosen for意为“因……而被选中”,for表示原因。work的含义可以适当引申为“成就,事业”。同时,在翻译the country they came from时,可以直译为“他们来自的国家”,也可以意译为“他们的国籍”。

  【参考范文】

  To Work or to Study Further

  Some people hold the view that there is no need to go to college because they can immediately find a job after graduating from high school,while some think it is necessary to attend university for better development in the future. As far as I'm concerned,it's essential to go to college.

  For one thing, college diploma helps us to get more job opportunities. There is no denying that most companies prefer students who have been well educated. In this way, they can save lots of money and energy in training the staff. Besides, some senior positions,such as senior manager and executive officer,usually make explicit demands for master degree or above. For another,university is a perfect place for students to broaden horizons and acquire professional knowledge. We can make friends with people from different places and backgrounds there.

  In a word,although different people may have different choices about work or study,I think going to college will definitely enrich our life experiences and prepare ourselves better for future development.
