题目内容
2.Bamboo is one of the nature's most surprising plants.(61)许多人称这种植物为树,但它是一种草.Like other kinds of grass,a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground,but it will grow back very quickly.A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours!Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe.(62)There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains (平原).
Not all bamboo looks the same.Some bamboo plants are very thin.They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.This plant also comes in different colors,from yellow to black to green.
Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years.They often use bamboo for building new buildings.As a matter of fact,the cables (绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo.The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years,and is still holding strong.
In Africa,(63)engineers are teaching poor farmers how to use bamboo to find water .These African countries need cheap ways to find water because (64 )they save no money,and their fields often die from no rain and no water.It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use.Bamboo pipes and drills (钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields be watered.
任务一:将61处翻译成英文.

分析 文章介绍了竹子这一植物,提到了它的生长习性,种类,以及它的多种用处.
解答 61.It is called as a kind of tree by many people,but it is a kind of grass.汉译英题.分析所给汉语可知,此句可用被动语态翻译,用到的短语有be called as…by…表示被…称为…,主语用代词it代指bamboo,时态是一般现在时,be动词要用is;第二个句子同样用it作主语,用but表示转折,a kind of表示一种.由这些重点词汇与用法即可得出此句答案.
62.有一千多种竹子生长在世界各地的山地和平原上.英译汉题.翻译此句要熟悉there be句型表示某处有…;more than表示超过;还要分析这是一个that引导的定语从句,that后的从句修饰bamboo;both…and…表示(两者)都…熟悉以上短语和句型即能正确翻译出此句.
63.engineers are teaching poor farmers how they can use bamboo to find water.句型转换题.分析句子可知此句是简单句,变复合句的关键在于"疑问词+不定式"作宾语这个用法可以转换成一个宾语从句,此处是how to use,变为宾语从句要用how引导,再添加上主语they和情态动词can即可,要用陈述语序.
64.(these) Afican countries.细节理解题.由because可知they have no money是These African countries need cheap ways to find water的原因,所以they代替的就是because前的句子的主语these African countries.
65.Bamboo is one of the nature's most surprising plants.主旨题.阅读题的主旨通常在首尾段,通读全文可知此文讲的是竹子的生长习性,各类,并着重讲了它的作用,所以主题是竹子,中心句就是文章的第一句,句意为竹子是自然界最令人惊奇的植物之一.
点评 阅读题首先要快速浏览一遍文章,特别是对首尾段的浏览,因为主旨通常暗藏在首尾段;再带着问题有目的性地阅读,边读边找答案,通常问题的答案都暗含在原文中.
