2016年翻译资格考试高级笔译阅读理解全真模拟(3)

　　Some people associate migration mainly with birds. Birds do travel vast distances, but mammals also migrate. An example is the caribou, reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada. When the weather turns cold, they travel south until spring. Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air. Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal. These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea. The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over 3,000 miles. Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America. The females and young travel as far as southern California. The males do not journey so far. They swim only to the Gulf of Alaska. In the spring, males and females all return to the islands, and there the cycle begins again. Whales are among the greatest migrators of all. The humpback and blue whales migrate thousands of miles each year from the polar seas to the tropics. Whales eat huge quantities of plankton. These are most abundant in cold polar waters. In winter, the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to their young.

　　81.D[分析] 推断题型。

　　从文章前几句得知：一些人认为有迁徙习性的主要是鸟类……但哺乳动物也“迁徙”：其中一个例子是……。另一个迁徙的例子是……。由此推断出并不是所有的哺乳动物都迁徙;因此选项D是答案。本题也可用排除法做：选项A，B、C均是错误的，所以只有D是正确选项。

　　82.A[分析] 细节题型。

　　见上题分析，第二、三句提到哺乳动物也迁徙：其中—个例子是……。当然这个例子应是指迁徙的哺乳动物了。所以选项A是答案。

　　83.B[分析] 细节题型。

　　选项A和C在第三句中提及：选项D在第六句中提及：因此本题答案应为B。

　　84.D[分析] 细节题型。

　　见第三句、五句：An example is the caribou，reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada...Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air.因此答案为D。

　　85.B[分析] 是非题型。

　　见文章最后一句：In winter，the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to their young.因此选项B为答案。

　　86.C[分析] 细节题型。

　　[注意本题容易选错]从文章Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea. The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over 3,000 miles.Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America.The females and young travel as far as southern California.The males do not journey so far，中的划线部分可知，The females and young Alaska fur seal会从the Bering Sea(白令海——北太平洋的一部分)swim down the Pacific Coast of North America直到 southern California;而 The males也会从白令海南下(因为These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea.)，只不过他们没有the females and young走的远罢了。因此选项C为答案。

　　87.B[分析] 是非题型。

　　选项A(见文章最后一句)、选项C(见上题)和选项D(见第三句)的内容在文章中均有提及，所以选项B是答案。

　　88.A[分析] 细节题型。

　　见文章倒数第三、四句：Whales eat huge quantities of plankton(浮游生物)。 These are most abundant in cold polar waters，所以选项A为答案。也可用排除法：选项B指的是reindeer的习性，选项C文中未提及鲸以幼仔为生，选项 D指的是tropic water，与 polar water相反：所以只有选项A正确。

　　89.B[分析] 细节题型。

　　文章提及reindeer(第三句)，the Alaska fur seal(第六句)和Whales(倒数第五句)所以选项B为答案。

　　90.C[分析] 主旨题型。

　　阅读全文，本文主要讲的是一些迁徙的哺乳动物，未仔细谈及几种类型的迁徙;因此C为答案。
