【题目】唐诗翻译: 《望夫石》(共1题;满分4分)

望夫处,江悠悠。化为石,不回头。

山头日日风复雨,行人归来石应语。

【答案】

Where she awaits her husband

On and on the river flows

Never looking back,

Transformed into stone.

Day by day upon the mountain top,

Wind an rain revolve.

Should the traveler return.

This ston would utter speech.

【解析】

试题分析:望夫处,江悠悠 意思是“在等待丈夫的地方,江水滔滔不绝地流淌着。”where she awaits her husband 为地点状语从句,修饰主句谓语动词flowa;用及物动词await代替wait for旨在简练,主句On and on the river flows中,on和on的连用强调了江水“悠悠”的这种意境。第二句把伴随状语的现在分词短语Never looking back提至句首,意在强调某种效果,而Transformed into stone是She was transformed into stone 的省略。第三句把时间状语Day by day upon the mountain top提至句首予以突出 revolve意指wind和rain循环交替出现。第四句“行人若能回来的话,那么石头也应该说话了。”在作者看来这将无法实现。多少年过去了,都杳无音讯,再说石头也不可能能言,因此此处应使用与将来相反的虚拟语气。英语中表示与将来情况相反的虚拟语气,在if条件句中要用shouid+动词原型或者were+动词原型为了简练,条件从句中的if省略,而把shouid提前构成倒装。句子还原后应该是if the journeyer shouid return ,the stone wouid utter speech此句真正含义是 行人回来的可能几乎没有,要是真的有的话那石头也该会说话了

【题目】Nuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima (Japan) last year the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided— some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.

After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power. But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic energy. In fact, almost 80% of France’s electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”

Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn’t create greenhouse gases. So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain’s chief scientific adviser (John Beddington) supports this view. He recently said that the world doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring nuclear energy.

Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they’re expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer. So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills. This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape.

The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn’t safe. For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high-profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands.

The nuclear energy issue is very complex. And it doesn’t look like it’ll be resolved anytime soon. As a Japanese commentator recently said, “it’s been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’, but I don’t think they’re down and out yet.” The battle continues.

【1Which of the following may NOT be the advantage of nuclear energy over other energy sources?

A. Nuclear energy doesn’t produce any greenhouse gases.

B. Nuclear energy can help prevent the climate damage.

C. Nuclear energy is more environmental-friendly than other green energy sources.

D. Nuclear energy can save the consumers some money, compared to other renewable energies.

【2What does the underlined word “this refer to in paragraph 4?

D. support the idea that nuclear energy is not safe.

【4We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.

B. the nuclear energy issue will be soon settled.

C. a battle will break out in the future.

【题目】Far from the land of Antarctica, a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.

For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.

Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish’s blood and measured its freezing point.

The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88°C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05°C. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.

The scientists’ next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish’s blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.

Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.

【1】Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?

A. The seawater has a temperature of -1.88°C.

B. It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture

C. A special protein keeps it from freezing.

D. Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05°C.

2What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. A type of ice-salt mixture.

B. A newly found protein.

C. Fish blood.

D. Sugar molecule.

3What does “glyco-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?

A. sugar B. ice C. blood D. molecule

4What is the best title of this passage?

A. Discovery of the AFGP.

B. A special fish living in Antarctica.

C. The ice shelf around Antarctica.

D. Protection of the Antarctic cod.
