Youth is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement, both physically and morally. Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.

英语三级考试密押试卷答案
Part Ⅱ Structure
Section A
16.【答案】C
【译文】所有学生都十分渴望知道他们能否通过这次考试。
【考点】连词辨析用法
【解析】根据句意可以排除选项B和D。虽然连词if和whether都有“是否”的含义,但只有whether能与or not搭配。
17.【答案】D
【译文】当这对夫妻来到这儿时,他们会去公园。
【考点】动词时态
【解析】在这句中they _______to the park.是主句,When the couple _______ here是从句。当主句是将来时态或表示将来意义时,从句用一般现在时代替将来时。
18.【答案】B
【译文】“我在哪儿都找不到汤姆。”“他一定没走多远,我刚才还听见他打电话了呢”。
【考点】考查情态动词与虚拟语气用法
【解析】语境表示语气很肯定的否定判断推测:我刚才还听见他打电话了,因此他一定没走多远。用can‘t have done。shouldn’t have done表示本不应该做某事;mustn‘t have done表示禁止做某事;而needn’t have done指的是本来没必要做某事。
19.【答案】D
【译文】无论老少,人们的想法都能与时俱进。
【考点】动词短语
【解析】选项A与keep…with搭配时应为keep in contact with。选项B无法与keep…with搭配。选项C,keep touch with意为与…保持联系。只有keep pace with符合题意,意为与…并驾齐驱。
20.【答案】C
【译文】说实话,帮助他们戒除网瘾很困难,但是我们正在努力解决这个问题。
【考点】动词时态
【解析】根据语境意义,我们可知这个动作正在进行中,因此用现在进行时。
21.【答案】B
【译文】最近发生了一次地震,造成死亡l00人,300多人受伤。
【考点】非谓语动词
【解析】第一空用kill的现在分词作状语,表示主动含义和补充说明;第二空用过去分词后置“300(people)”,意为“受伤的”。
22.【答案】C
【译文】这个国家西南部50英里的地方坐落着一座美丽的高山。
【考点】倒装结构及主谓一致
【解析】首先要知道此句为倒装结构,另外根据句意可知,主语为“the famous beautiful mountain”,指的是一座漂亮的山,所以谓语也应该用单数。
23.【答案】A
【译文】每个人的生命里都有一段什么事情都看似十分艰难的时期。
【考点】定语从句
【解析】本题的关系词引导定语从句修饰periods,指的是一段时期,并在从句中作时间状语,因此选A。
24.【答案】B
【译文】只要你的作业是自己做的,刘老师并不介意你晚些再交上来。
【考点】动名词用法
【解析】mind和delay后都要接动名词形式。因此选B。
25.【答案】D
【译文】她从来也没准备要辍学。
【考点】倒装结构
【解析】当否定词或含有否定意义的词、短语放在句首时,句子一般要部分倒装,因此只能选择B或D。但因为be ready to do为固定搭配,意为“准备做某事”,故选D;B项缺少谓语。
Section B
26.【答案】is
【译文】《纽约时报》很受那些政治家们的欢迎。
【考点】主谓一致
【解析】在国家、报刊、学科和书名中虽有类似单词的复数形式出现,但它们只是构成这个词组的一部分,并不是真正的复数。此类词还有the united states,maths等。
27.【答案】more friendly
【译文】你们镇上的人比我们预料的更加热情。
【考点】形容词的比较级
【解析】根据句子结构及句中的than一词,可以知道是两种程度的比较。同时,friendly是多音节词,故在原型前加more,句中的“far”可以修饰比较级。
28.【答案】shorten
【译文】伤病问题可能会缩短篮球运动员的职业生涯。
【考点】词性转换
【解析】情态动词后应加动词原形,所以空格处应填写short的动词形式的原形。而形容词short的动词形式是在其后加上en,同类词还包括wide—widen,fast—fasten等。
29.【答案】told
【译文】我会代替你告诉玛丽,但我宁愿是你告诉她的。
【考点】虚拟语气
【解析】 would rather后接sb再加上动词时,要用一般过去时表示虚拟,可简记为would rather sb.did。
30.【答案】will have been
【译文】到大学毕业后,我将已经做了15年的学生了。
【考点】动词时态
【解析】by the time接将来时间或一般现在时的句子,表示将来预计完成的动作,主句要用将来完成时。
31.【答案】be translated
【译文】这首美丽的诗应该被翻译成中文,因为它很值得一读。
【考点】被动语态
【解析】情态动词should后加动词原形;同时,poem和translate之间为被动关系,所以应为be translated。
32.【答案】economics
【译文】根据最新报道,越来越多的年轻人倾向于学习经济学和社会科学。
【考点】词性转换
【解析】由句意可知是学习某一门学科,economy为“经济”之意,经济学应为“economics”。
33.【答案】had gone
【译文】如果这个舞者是搭乘飞机去美国的话,她可能在坠机事故中遇害了。
【考点】虚拟语气
【解析】根据句意,可判断出此句是对过去的虚拟,此时,主句要用would/might/could have done的形式,而从句要用had done,即过去完成时。故应填had gone。
34.【答案】Caught
【译文】因为偷窃而被店主抓获时,这个男孩显得很羞愧。
【考点】分词作状语
【解析】根据句子结构分析,可知catch和the boy之间是被动关系,且前一部分作句子的时间状语。当分词作状语,逻辑主语和动作之间为主动时,用现在分词;而表示被动时,则用过去分词。
35.【答案】making
【译文】很明显你是有意要伤害我的自尊的,因此道歉是没有用的。
【考点】动名词用法
【解析】it‘s no use后要加动名词形式。指的是“做…是没有用的”。要在其后加动名词的短语还包括there is no point,be worth,look forward to等等。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Task1
36.【答案】C
【题型】细节题
【解析】题干意为“根据文章,英语是…”。由第一句话我们可知,英语并不像中文那么悠久古老,故应选C。not so…as…意为“不像…那么…”。
37.【答案】C
【题型】推理题
【解析】题干意为“汉堡最初是…”。由文章的第三段,我们可知,一些来自汉堡的德国人误认为美国人问他们来自哪里,所以回答到我们来自汉堡。然后美国人发明了一种面包,称之为汉堡包的。因此,汉堡最初只是德国的一个城市。
38.【答案】D
【题型】细节题
【解析】题干意为“根据文章,下列哪一个陈述是正确的”。汉堡最初是德国的一个城市,故A项是错误的。文中并没有提到美国人喜不喜欢汉堡包,因此B选项也是错误的。文中第二段提到汉堡包并不是由火腿做的,因此C也是不正确的。第三段提到一百多年前,由后文我们也可知美国人在那个时候发明了汉堡包。故选项 D是正确的。
39.【答案】A
【题型】细节题
【解析】题干意为“…最开始卖汉堡包的。”由第三段我们可知,A选项“美国人”是正确的。
40.【答案】D
【题型】推理题
【解析】题干意为“在读了这个故事之后,我们可知‘汉堡包’这个词来源于…”。阅读文章,我们知道是美国人看到了来自德国汉堡的人吃一种圆片状牛肉而发明汉堡包,因此汉堡包这个词来源于美国。
41.【答案】B
【题型】主旨题
【解析】题干意为“文章旨在告诉我们…”。通过阅读全文我们可知,文章告诉我们做一个优秀的少年应具备的四大品质。故选B。选项A,C,D都是这几个条件中的一个,过于片面了,不能代替全文的思想。
42.【答案】D
【题型】细节题
【解析】题干意为“作为优秀的青年首先要拥有…”。文章说了the basic,是the first的转换说法,故应选择D,健康的身体。
43.【答案】A
【题型】细节题
【解析】题干意为“一个优秀的年轻人应该帮助他人…”。根据文中的我们应该乐于且毫无怨言地帮助那些陷入困境的人,可以看出答案是A。
44.【答案】C
【题型】细节题
【解析】题干意为“从文中我们可以知道合作和交流是…”。文中提到交流和合作的时候用到了词组play all important role,意为“起到重要的作用”,而且后文中也多次提到no one和nobody。可以看出合作和交流对任何人都是很重要的。
45.【答案】C
【题型】细节题
【解析】题干意为“作者认为,爱国的人必须…”。文中提到一个爱国的人应该是那些做任何祖国要求他们做的事情。题干中的need them to do是文中asks him to do的另一种说法。
46.【答案】Specific activities
【解析】由文中第一段第二句话“everyone will find out,at first,specific activities that help to improve your English”可以找到答案。
47.【答案】materials

【解析】由文中第三段最后一句话“people can go to Tin Ping building on the 4th floor or email your name,ID card N0.and date of joining the tour to Miss Feng at feng@cahk.edu.hk”可以找到答案。

Part IV Translation—English into Chinese
61.【答案】D-B-A-C
【解析】译好本句的关键在于弄清句子结构。这是一个非限定性定语从句,which have many advantages修饰electronic computers。同时,也要了解短语C8ffl“y out(进行)的意思。选项A错在把carry out译为“理解”。选项B把原句中本为并列结构的“creative work”和“replace man”理解为承接结构。选项C把本意为“优点”的“advantage”误译为了“缺点”。
62.【答案】B-D-C-A
【解析】It must be admitted that…意为“应该承认…”,is reflected意为“被反应在…”。选项A和D虽然理解了这个句子的含义,但是它的翻译方式并不符合中文的特点。选项C是翻译中常见的“增译”现象。原句中并没有“确实”,“潜在”这样的字眼。
63.【答案】A-C-B-D
【解析】这是一句商务英语。重点在对句中party和this agreement is signed的理解。party在句中的含义应为双方而不是党派。sign为“签约”的意思。故选项A最为准确。
.【答案】C-D-A-B
【解析】译准这个句子的关键在于对“only if”的理解。only if意为“只有”,表示~种条件上的虚拟。A选项把only if误译为“只要”,B选项漏译了“continue to”。D选项虽然理解较为准,但不符合中文的话语特征。
65.【答案】刘老师,我写信给您是希望在下学期能搬入到一个新的寝室。我对我的室友很不满意。因为他做事不顾及别人的感受。他的朋友们经常来寝室找他,而且还定期举行嘈杂的聚会。另外,他有时还未经我的允许动用我的物品。在这种环境下,我很难专注于学业。若您能为我找到另一个寝室,我将十分感激。
【解析】本题相当于一封投诉信。意在写清被投诉人的不合理行为及投诉人的希望。翻译时要注意以下的词和短语:dissatisfaction with意为“对…不满意”,inconsiderate意为“不顾及别人的感受”,constantly意为“经常地”,under these circumstances意为“在这种情况下”。

Part Ⅱ Vocabulary & Structure
Section A
16.【答案精解】A。句意:艾伦先生说他不想承担更多的责任。本题考查的是动词词组的不同搭配以及意义。take on承担;put on穿、戴上;get on上车、进展;look up向上看,查(字典)。因此只有A符合题意,故选A。
17.【答案精解】C。句意:到机场后,我才发现忘记带飞机票了。本题考查倒装结构。当only置于句首时 主句使用部分倒装结构,即将谓语部分的助动词置于主语之前。由从句中的过去完成时推知主句中应是过去时.因此C项正确。
18.【答案精解】D。句意:为了准备期末考试,近来他每天夜里熬到凌晨一点。本题考查的是相关动词词组的词义辨析。show up揭露,露出,露面;show off炫耀,显耀;stay in在家,不外出;stay up熬夜,不睡觉。
19.【答案精解】C。句意:为了寻找逃跑的犯人,决定询问每一个走这条路的人。本题考查引导词whoever的用法,whoever=any who,题中强调的是“任意谁,无论谁”who和whom不能表达这一意思,而whomever在从句中做宾语成分.不合题意。
20.【答案精解】D。句意:早餐是一天中的第一顿饭。本题考查几个同类词的辨析。food食品;dinner正餐;lunch午餐,这三个词都不可以与breakfast划等号,而只有a meal“一顿饭”可以等同于breakfast。因此应该选D。
21.【答案精解】B。句意:他几乎不理解老师在说什么,我也如此。本题考查倒装结构。hardly表示否定的意思,即“几乎不…”,所以后面不能使用表肯定的so,而是使用表示否定的neither或nor,这样就排除了C和D:且谓语的助动词要前后一致,本题中用的是can,所以A是错误的。
22.【答案精解】B。句意:那个年轻的女演员这么快就与摄影师结婚了,我感到惊讶。因为她不可能对他已经非常了解。本题考查情态动词+have done的用法。情态动词can/must+have done表示对已经发生的事物的一种推测.can表示推测(惊讶、怀疑、不相信的态度)时,用于疑问句、否定句和感叹句中;must表示推测时,只用于肯定的陈述句中。
23.【答案精解】B。句意:有些人说我们生活在计算机时代。本题考查介词in的用法。in表示时间,指“在某段时间之内”:on表示“某一天或某个具体的日期”;for表示“动作持续的时间” 本题中的时间是指一段时间,所以应该选B。
24.【答案精解】C。句意:彼得今晚可能会和我们一起,但他还不是很确定。本题考查情态动词的用法。根据题意。应该选一个表示“可能”的情态动词。call和may都表示“可能”,但是call没有may正式,所以应该选C。
25.【答案精解】C。句意:我经常听他提起你。在主动语态里,在see,watch,notice,observe,hear,listen to,feel等感官动词后,to要省略。因此只能选择c。
Section B
26.【答案精解】more comfortably。句意:他们的新车坐起来比旧的舒服多了。本题考查的是副词的比较级。因为comfortably是多音节副词,按照规律应在它的前面加more来构成比较级。
27.【答案精解】be improved。句意:汤姆在学汉语,他对汉语的正确理解能力需要提高。本题考查need做实意动词时的用法,此时是“需要”的意思,后面可以接动名词或不定式的被动形式,即need doing=need to be done。
28.【答案精解】surely。句意:不要担心,只要你肯努力就一定能通过考试。本题考查的是词形的转换,根据题意,所填的词应该是副词用来修饰动词pass,所以答案应该是将sure变为surely。
29.【答案精解】description。句意:这本书值得一读,因为它详细地描述了美国内战。本题同样考查词形的转换。根据题意,空格处应填写一个名词来充当作定语的形容词detailed的中心词,所以答案是describe的名词形式,即description。
30.【答案精解】had worked。句意:他在上大学之前已经在农场工作了五年。本题考查动词的时态,根据题意,他上大学这件事发生在过去某个时间,那么谈到在此之前的他在农场工作的事情,自然要用过去完成时,即had done sth.的形式。
31.【答案精解】known。句意:她让所有的同学都知道她买了一双新鞋子。本题考查被动语态,因为know和后面的代词it之间是被动关系,所以应该用过去分词形式,即known。
32.【答案精解】receiving。句意:我们盼望着再次收到你的来信。本题考查什么情况下用动名词形式。在短语look forward to中,to是介词,所以应接动名词形式,即receiving。注意,要和to do不定式中to后面加动词原形区分开来,避免在做题时误选。
33.【答案精解】hadn't done。句意:我宁愿你没有做过那件事。本题考查虚拟语气的用法。虚拟语气是语法中的难点、重点,一定要熟练掌握和运用。本题中,虚拟语气在动词wish/would rather/had rather/would sooner/would just as soon后面的宾语从句中,对过去的情况进行的假设要用had加动词的过去分词。本题的意思是“宁愿你没有做那件事”,所以用否定语气,即hadn't done。
34.【答案精解】valuable。句意:看来,最为珍贵的东西是这份礼物中所表达出的友谊。本题考查词性转换,形容词valuable修饰名词thing。
35.【答案精解】kindness。句意:约翰对那些帮助他找到护照的人的友善表示感谢。本题考查词性转换,介词后面应跟名词,kind的名词形式是kindness。 来源:考试大-国家英语三级考试站

Part Ⅳ Translation
61.【答案精解】C-B-D-A。not wishing to alarm her作为伴随状语,原意是“不希望她惊慌”,但根据本句的语言环境,翻译成“为了不让她惊慌”更为恰当,表示目的。serious在此处的意思是“严重”,而非“认真”。
62.【答案精解】C-A-D-B。纵观四个选项,A、C、D的意思均与原句相近,但相比之下C选项的结构和用语最为准确,也最能同原句相对应。A选项次之。
63.【答案精解】C-D-A-B。本句是宾语从句,主句是“他们说”。distribute意思是“分配”而非“兑现”;as follows意思是“按下述方法”。
