9.So many section managersbeing absent (缺席),the board meeting had to be put off until next week.(absent)

分析 因为有那么多的部门经理缺席,所以董事会不得不推迟到下周进行.

解答 答案:being absent.
分析句子结构可知,本句的主句为the board meeting had to be put off until next week,而前面只有一个名词短语So many section managers结合汉语意思可知需要使用短语be absent,由此可知应该使用独立主格结构,部门经理和缺席之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词短语;故答案为being absent.

点评 翻译填空题考查的是词汇的记忆和运用能力,平时要注意积累和运用.

6.Etymology,the study of words and word roots,may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small,dusty rooms.Yet etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting job.They are in many ways just like archaeologists digging up the physical history of people and events.The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history,so to speak,through the words and phrases that are left behind.
The English language,in particular,is a great field to explore history through words.As a language,English has an extraordinary number of words.This is partly due to its ability to  adapt foreign words so readily.For example,"English"words such as kindergarten (from German),croissan (from French),and cheetah (from Hindi) have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings.So English-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore.
Another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries.No,etymologists do not go around solving murders,like the great detective Sherlock Holmes.What these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words
One of the biggest questions English language experts have  pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK.Though it is one of the most commonly used expressions,its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day.Even its spelling is not entirely consistent-unless you spell it Okay,it is hard even to call it a word.
Etymologists have been able to narrow OK's origin down to a likely,although not certain,source.It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Buren's run for president in 1840.His nickname was Old Kinderhook.What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known.It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary source Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for the initial source.However,it is clear that OK's popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it has been most clearly linked.
