2020年CATTI笔译三级词汇和语法专项试题(七)
来源 :中华考试网 2020-10-02
中请从以下四个选项中挑出最符合句子意思的选项:
A thorough check of the accounts has revealed ___ a tax evader.
A. him being
B. him to be
C. that he be
D. that he had been
参考答案:D. that he had been
解析:这一句的语法知识主要考的是动宾结构的特殊用法。通常,动词后面的宾语都是动作的接受者。不过,有一种情况是,宾语有更多的内容补充或说明。因此,有v+sb+sth的结构。不过,通常这个结构可以用定语从句来替换。具体到这一句,reveal sb后面接的是一个名词词组。如果a tax evader是一个补语,那么就应该是reveal him a tax evader——这个并没有出现在选项之中。定语从句that he had been就是第二选择了。
请从以下四个选项里挑选出最符合句子意思的选项:
The ___ of the football match will be shown on TV tonight.
A. guideline
B. entertainment
C. masterpieces
D. highlights
参考译文:D. highlights
解析:从整个句子的意思来看,应该是the football match 的一部分将会在电视节目里播放,而这一部分会是什么呢?首先,可以排除的是entertainment(娱乐)和masterpieces(代表作);其次, guideline(指南)如果是“比赛指南”话,肯定不会是单指一场赛事,而是tourment games。Hightlights 的意思除了“标记”或“高亮”之外,还有就是“最精彩部分”,即The highlights of an event, activity, or period of time are the most interesting or exciting parts of it. 例如,a match that is likely to prove one of the highlights of the tournament./可能是本届锦标赛最精彩的赛事之一。
请从以下四个选项里找出符合句子意思的选项:
Do you feel like __ to a film or would rather __at home?
A. going…stay
B. to go...stay
C. going.. staying
D. going..to stay
参考答案:A. going...stay
解析:这一句英文是一个选择句,用or来连接两个分句。不过,由于连接的谓语动词feel (like)和would (rather),因此,这里涉及到两个语法点,一个是feel like,另一个是would rather。like在这里是介词,后接名词或动名词,而feel like的意思是“想要……”,即“have an inclination for something or some activity”。例如:Although sometimes I feel like bothering, as often as not I don't./虽然我有时会觉得这是在找麻烦,但是通常并不会这样。Would rather的意思是“宁愿/不愿;宁可/宁可不”,即 If you say that you would rather do something or you'd rather do it, you mean that you would prefer to do it. If you say that you would rather not do something, you mean that you do not want to do it. 由于rather在与would搭配里,它是一个副词,于是,would (rather)+动词,例如:If it's all the same to you, I'd rather work at home./如果对你来说没什么差别,我宁愿在家中工作。
请从以下四个选项中选出符合句子意思的选项:
Foreign students are facing unprecedented delays, as visa applications receive closer __ than ever.
A. scrutiny
B. appraisal
C. retention
D. scanning
参考译文:A. scrutiny
解析:从句子的意思来看,海外学生面临延误问题,而原因是visa application受阻,而visa application受阻的原因是什么呢? 通常,visa application提交到大使馆之后,会由使馆的签证官员对申请材料进行审核,并在一定的周期内完成这项工作。因此,空格里的词应该是与“审核”有关。这四个选项里,与这个意思相关的就只有A. scrutiny,即“详细地检查或审查”,If a person or thing is under scrutiny, they are being studied or observed very carefully.
请从以下五个选项中挑出最适合以下句子的一项:
Some illnesses, such as malaria, which have been virtually eliminated in the United States, are still ____ in many place abroad.
A. disscussed
B. prevalent
C. scarce
D. unkown
E. hospitalized.
参考译文:B. prevalent
解析:句子的意思分析,可从which which have been virtually eliminated in the United States, 与still in many other places. 之间的语义关系来分辨。也就是说,最为关键的词是still, 即You use still to emphasize that something remains the case or is true in spite of what you have just said.于是,在美国几乎灭绝的情况,在其他国家却仍然会是与“几乎灭绝”相反的。在五个选项中,与virtually eliminated 意思相反的词,就是prevalent了。
请从以下四个选项中挑出最合适的一项:
--Can you tell me the way to the station?
--I'm sorry, I'm __ here myself.
A. stranger
B. strangers
C. a stranger
D. strange
参考译文:C. a stranger
解析:从对话的语境来看,提问者是在问路,而回答则不知道“车站”的所在地。四个选项的内容来看,回答的意思应该是“我自己不熟悉这个地方”,或是“我也是外来者,不是本地人”。Strange的意思来看,“陌生的,不熟悉的”,即A strange place is one that you have never been to before. A strange person is someone that you have never met before. 例如:I ended up alone in a strange city./结果,我独自一人来到了一个陌生的城市。不过,由于回答人后面还说了myself,应而所修饰的不会是一个形容词,要是一个名词,即stranger,即If you are a stranger in a place, you do not know the place well. 这时就要带上不定冠词a,也就是选项C,a stranger。
请从以下四个选项中挑出最符合以下句子意思的一个选项:
Xiao Yan was somewhat short-sighted; she had the habit of ____ at people.
A.glancing
B.peering
C.gazing
D.scanning
参考译文:B. peering
解析:这一句里有一个前提,就是Xiao Yan有点“近视”,于是看东西有点吃力。这四个选项里的词都有“看”的意思,但方式各不相同。不过,先可以排除的是D.scanning,因为这个词的意思与视力不好无关,其意思是"粗略地看;快读;浏览",即When you scan written material, you look through it quickly in order to find important or interesting information. 例如:She scanned the advertisement pages of the newspapers./她浏览了一下报纸的广告页。另外,scan 并不与at搭配。可与at搭配的glance 的意思则是“迅速地看一眼”,即If you glance at something or someone, you look at them very quickly and then look away again immediately. 例如:He glanced at his watch./他匆匆看了一下手表。另一个能与at搭配的则是peer,意思是“(通常因难以看清而)盯着看,凝视,端详”,即If you peer at something, you look at it very hard, usually because it is difficult to see clearly. 例如:I had been peering at a computer print-out that made no sense at all./我一直盯着看一张毫无意义的计算机打印稿。这个意思正与句子的意思一致。
请从以下四个选项中找出符合句意思的选项:
Movie directors use music to ___ the action on the screen.
A. contaminate
B. compliment
C. contemplate
D. complement
参考答案:D. complement
解析:这四个选项中,有两个词形相近的词,即B. compliment和C. complement. 这两个选项的意思却全然不同。Compliment在做动词时的意思是“赞美;恭维”,即If you compliment someone, you pay them a compliment. 例如:They complimented me on the way I looked each time they saw me./每次见到我,他们都称赞我的外貌。不过,这个意思与整个句子的意思并不是相符——在电影里,音乐与动作之间的关系里,音乐肯定不会“恭维”动作的,应该是“衬托”的关系。表达这个意思的词正是complement,即If one thing complements another, it goes well with the other thing and makes its good qualities more noticeable. 例如:Nutmeg, parsley and cider all complement the flavour of these beans well. /肉豆蔻、西芹和苹果酒都能很好地突出这些豆子的味道。
