39.【答案】C【译文】第二段中的“defective”是“有缺陷的，有瑕疵的。”【试题分析】语义理解题。【详细解答】第二段中两次出现“defective”这个词：Otherengineersarewritingnewprogramsallowingrobotstomakedecisionssuchaswhethertodiscarddefectivepartsinfinishedproducts.Todothis,therobotwillalsohavetobecapableofidentifyingthosedefectiveparts.从上下文可以推测出其词义：其他工程师们正在编写新程序让机器人在成品中剔除的零部件。很显然，不会让机器人去剔除好零部件，肯定是要剔除坏的、有缺陷的零部件，所以可以断定defective是“有缺陷的，有瑕疵的”的意思，即imperfect,havingseriouserrors。40.【答案】B【译文】本文的最佳的题目是未来机器人将会“看见”，“触摸”和“思考”。【试题分析】主旨理解题。【详细解答】很清楚，本文的第一个句子就是开门见山地说出了本文的中心思想，它是主题句：“Thenextgenerationofrobotswillbeabletoseeobjects,willhaveasenseoftouch,andwillmakecriticaldecisions.”即Futurerobotswillsee,touch,andthink.随后文章具体地说明了机器人将会拥有的这些能力。　PartⅢVocabularyandStructure41.【答案】D【译文】他甚至在出生时就命中注定要接他父亲的班，当一个鞋匠。【试题分析】单词辨析题。【详细解答】beinterestedin(doing)something其后不接动词不定式todosomething；而suggest在任何时候都不接动词不定式todosomething；C和D在语法结构上都讲得通，但词意不一样：bedeterminedtodosomething是“决心做某事”，而bedestinedtodosomething是“命中注定做某事”。42.【答案】C【译文】你把他列为世界上伟大的政治家之一吗？【试题分析】单词辨析题。【详细解答】arrange指“安排”；classify指“把……分类”；rank指“排列，列为，名列”；occupy指“占领，占据”。43.【答案】A【译文】新水坝将在其后形成一个大的人工湖。【试题分析】近义词辨析题。【详细解答】artificial指“人造的”；unnatural指“不自然的”；false指“假的，虚伪的”；unreal指“不真实的，虚幻的”。44.【答案】C【译文】毫无疑问，林肯在内战中显示了领导才能。【试题分析】单词辨析题。【详细解答】observe指“观察，遵守”；expose指“暴露，揭露”；demonstrate指“展示，证明”；emphasize指“强调”。45.【答案】C【译文】当时美国拒绝给予几百万黑人投票权。【试题分析】近义词辨析题。【详细解答】refuse指“拒绝”，只接单宾语；ignore指“不理睬，忽视”；deny有两个意思：“否认”、“拒绝给予”。deny在本题的词义是“拒绝给予”，后接双宾语；neglect指“忽视，疏忽”。46.【答案】C【译文】医生说吉姆会逐渐好一些，不过不要指望一下子就好了。【试题分析】形近短语辨析题。【详细解答】onceover指“再一次”；forthetimebeing指“暂时”；allatonce指“突然，一下子”；onceinawhile指“偶尔，不时”。47.【答案】D【译文】今年将修建几个新的实验室，已经请了当地的几家公司来承担此项工作。【试题分析】单词辨析题。【详细解答】assign指“分配，指派”；manufacture指“制造，加工”；provide指“供应，规定”；undertake指“承担，担任”。48.【答案】C【译文】家用燃油消费量从冬天最高峰的每月1500加仑到七、八月几乎没有。【试题分析】同义词辨析题。【详细解答】alter,change,vary,和transfer都有“改变，变化，转变”的意思，但只有vary在句法上讲的通：varyfrom...to...是固定搭配，意为“从……到……不等，在……和……之间变动”。49.【答案】D【译文】因为人们经常所说的“人口爆炸”的原因，本世纪粮食供应问题已变得更为严峻。【试题分析】单词辨析题。【详细解答】limitation指“局限”；prosperity指“繁荣”；eruption指“（火山等的）喷发，爆发”；explosion指“爆发，爆炸”。50.【答案】A【译文】他到处寻找自己的女友，但是没找到。【试题分析】近义词组辨析题。【详细解答】invain指“徒劳，枉然”；withouteffect指“没有效果”；innoway指“决不”；ataloss指“不知所措”。51.【答案】D【译文】旅游业为那个国家的经济作出了很大的贡献。【试题分析】近义词辨析题。【详细解答】support是及物动词，指“支持”；benefit作及物动词，指“使受益”，作不及物动词，指“从中受益”，后接介词from，不接介词to；assist指“援助，帮助”；contribute作不及物动词，后接介词to，指“贡献，捐献，促成”。52.【答案】B【译文】体质不好、缺少金钱都可能妨碍教育的进步。【试题分析】近义词辨析题。【详细解答】loss指“损失”；barrier指“障碍物，屏障”；tragedy指“悲剧”；vacuum指“真空”。53.【答案】B【译文】我很高兴你来了；我刚才正要给你打电话，你来了省去了我的麻烦。【试题分析】固定词组题。【详细解答】beonthepointofdoingsomething是固定短语，指“正要做某事的时候”。54.【答案】B【译文】最高法院是美国最高等的法院。【试题分析】形近词辨义题。【详细解答】superior指“优越的，突出的”；supreme指“至高的，最高的”；super指“上等的，极好的”；superficial指“表面的，肤浅的”。55.【答案】D【译文】我们原来希望去国外度假，但是计划没有成功。【试题分析】形近短语辨义题。【详细解答】comeup指“走近，（问题等）被提出”；comeout指“出来，出版”；comeon指“跟随，进步”；comeoff指“举行，结果，成功”。56.【答案】B【译文】要不是马可波罗在狱中写的那本游记，他在十二世纪的所见所闻不会被人们如此得熟悉。【试题分析】语法结构题。【详细解答】本题考点是虚拟式ifithadnotbeenfor...（要不是……的话）的倒装形式：将连词if省略，把助动词had放到主语之前。57.【答案】C【译文】十九世纪中期中国移民开始大量来到美国。【试题分析】语法结构题。【详细解答】begin后接动词不定式，一般情况下接动词不定式一般式，而本句强调动作已完成则最好用动词不定式come的完成式tohavecome。58.【答案】C【译文】牛虻太累了，一旦睡着就不会容易醒来。【试题分析】单词辨义题。【详细解答】abandon指“放弃，遗弃”；desert指“抛弃，舍弃”；exhaust指“用尽，使筋疲力尽”；injure指“损害，伤害”。59.【答案】B【译文】万一下雨的话，聚会将在室内举行。【试题分析】形近短语辨义题。【详细解答】inthefaceof指“面对……”；intheeventof指“万一……的话”；inthetimeof指“在……的时候”；inthecourseof指“在……的过程中”。60.【答案】A【译文】经理说商店出售的所有商品都保修一年。【试题分析】近义词辨析题。【详细解答】guarantee指“保证，担保”，它强调保证商品的品质和服务；ensure指“保证得当，使安全”；confirm指“确定，批准”；assume指“假定，设想”。61.【答案】B【译文】根据协议的条款，承租人必须对房屋进行装修。【试题分析】短语辨义题。【详细解答】bywayof指“经由，为了”；inaccordancewith指“与……一致，依据”；withregardto指“关于”；inrelationto指“涉及，与……相比”。62.【答案】A【译文】为了核实这个单词的拼写，我查了一下字典。【试题分析】近义词辨析题。【详细解答】verify指“证实，核实”；infer指“推断”；assure指“保证，确告”；distinguish指“区别，辨别”。63.【答案】A【译文】听到实验成功的消息，我们都非常高兴。【试题分析】语法结构题。【详细解答】本题的考点是同位语从句。在本句中，名词thenews后接同位语从句，其引导词只需连词that，不需连接代词或连接副词。which和what是连接代词，when是连接副词。64.【答案】C【译文】我认为她确实是个称职的秘书，因为她很有能力，办事效率高。【试题分析】形近词辨义题。【详细解答】sufficient指“充分的，足够的”；effective指“有效的”；efficient“有效力的，能干的”；intensive指“强烈的，透彻的”。65.【答案】D【译文】由于采用了新工艺，产量总体上增加了百分之二十。【试题分析】语法结构题。【详细解答】本题的考点是独立主格结构。本题的名词是anewtechnique在逻辑上是它的非谓语动词apply的逻辑宾语，而本句的非谓语动词又发生在谓语动词之前，所以正确答案是现在分词完成式的被动式havingbeenapplied。66.【答案】A【译文】他当时一定出了车祸，不然的话他早就到了。【试题分析】语法结构题。【详细解答】本题的考点是otherwise引导的句子其谓语动词用虚拟语气。otherwise,or等引导的分句，如果它前面的分句的时态是过去时，那么它引导的分句的谓语动词则要用虚拟语气“wouldhave+过去分词”。67.【答案】B【译文】你看看我现在这可怕的处境！要是当初听了你的建议就好了。【试题分析】语法结构题。【详细解答】本题的考点是ifonly引导的条件状语从句的谓语动词要用虚拟语气。根据具体情况可分别用一般过去时（表示与现在事实相反）和过去完成时（表示与过去事实相反）。本题表示与过去的事实相反，用hadfollowed。68.【答案】B【译文】他赢得冠军的消息很快在家乡传开了。【试题分析】语法结构题。【详细解答】本题的考点是引导的主语从句。本句的主语从句hewonthechampionship主语、谓语和宾语都完整，词义也完整，只需一个没有词义、不充当任何成份的连词that即可。69.【答案】A【译文】由于年事已高，他再也不能很好地做好那个工作了。【试题分析】近义词辨析题。【详细解答】advance一般指“前进，进步”，也可指年龄的增长；advantage指“优势”；progress指“进步”；promotion指“促进，提拔”。70.【答案】A【译文】我的建议是她先去，在体育场大门口等我们。【试题分析】语法结构题。【详细解答】本题的考点是名词suggestion后跟表语从句，其谓语用虚拟语气。在英语中表示命令、请求、建议等的动词，如order，ask，suggest，propose，request等，其后接宾语从句，宾语从句中的谓语动词要用“should+动词原形”或“动词原形”来表示虚拟语气；而这些动词相应的名词也应象它们的动词一样，其后的同位语从句和表语从句的谓语都要用“should+动词原形”或“动词原形”。PartIVTranslation【翻译指导】本题是英语四级考试的新题型。因为这种汉译英题是留出空来让考生来完成整个英语句子，所以在做这种汉译英题时一方面要考虑汉语部分，另一方面更重要的是一定要认真考虑整个英语句子，结合上下文，从英语的语法结构、句型、时态语态、动词非谓语形式、习惯搭配、词义等方面来考虑，要让完成的汉译英部分与原来的英语部分形成一个完整、通顺的英语句子。一般来说，每一个要完成的汉译英部分都有一、两个考点，要么是一个语法项目，要么就是一个习惯搭配短语或句型，只要抓住了要点就成功了一半，其他部分相对来说就好办了。1.【答案】Aslongasyouhavedrunkthatbrandofwine【详细解答】很清楚，要完成的汉译英部分在本句中是一个条件状语从句，根据意思要用aslongas或solongas来引导，而主句的谓语动词用的是一般将来时，所以条件状语从句的谓语动词要用一般现在时或现在完成时来表示一般将来时或将来完成时。根据本句的意思和上下文的关系，最好用现在完成时havedrunk。2.【答案】Withoutyourhelp/Butforyourhelp/Ifithadnotbeenforyourhelp【详细解答】本句有多种译法。一般情况下，要表示“假如没有”直接用介词（短语）without…或butfor…来译，也可用虚拟条件状语从句ifitwerenotfor...（与现在事实相反）或ifithadnotbeenfor...（与过去事实相反）来译，但本句的主句谓语动词用的是表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，所以本句要译成ifithadnotbeenfor...为好。3.【答案】issaidtohavebeentranslatedintomorethantwentyforeignlanguages【详细解答】从本句来看，要完成的汉译英部分是整个英语句子的谓语部分。“据说”译成“issaid”；本句的关键在于issaid后一定要用动词不定式；根据本句的意思和逻辑关系，要用动词不定式的完成式的被动式，译成：tohavebeentranslatedintomorethantwentyforeignlanguages。4.【答案】aseveryoneknows【详细解答】本句的关键是要用关系代词as。as作关系代词引导非限制性定语从句，它在定语从句内部可以主语或宾语，代表前面的整个主句；在本句中它作knows的宾语。5.【答案】thattheirprincipalhadcometoseethem/abouttheirprincipal’shavingcomingtoseethem【详细解答】本句的谓语是系表结构，它的表语是形容词happy。由此而来，本句有两种译法：一种是译成宾语从句，用连词that来引导；另一种在形容词happy后接介词about,再用动名词的复合结构作介词about的宾语：sb.’sdoingsth.。因为校长来看他们的动作发生在前，所以用宾语从句来译的话，其谓语动词要用过去完成时hadcome,而用动名词来译的话则要用其完成式havingcome。6.【答案】accompaniedbyhermother【详细解答】本句要求分词来完成。根据本句的上下文，应该用accompany的过去分词来表示被动关系，作伴随状语。7.【答案】whatyouhavejustbought【详细解答】本句的关键是要用连接代词what来引导的宾语从句。what引导名词性从句，其意思有两个：1）什么；2）……的东西（事情），它在名词性从句中可以作主语，也可作宾语。它在本句的宾语从句中作谓语动词havebought的宾语。8.【答案】80percentofwhomcomefromthepoorareas【详细解答】本句要完成的汉译英部分是一个非限制性定语从句，关键是要译好“其百分之八十”。这种结构英语要用下面这种结构：“数字+of+whom（指人）或which（指物）”。由于本句的先行词是employees,所以要译成80percentofwhom…。9.【答案】Thestudenthadpublishedtwonovels【详细解答】本句的英语部分是一个时间状语从句，而要完成的汉译英部分则是其主句。本句特别要注意的是主、从句的时态要一致。本句的状语从句谓语动词是一般过去时，连词用的是before，所以很清楚，其主句的谓语动词的动作发生在从句谓语动词之前，应该用过去完成时hadpublished。10.【答案】shefeltmoreoverjoyedthansurprised【详细解答】本题的要点是：more+adj./adv.+than+另一个adj./adv.，意为“与其……还不如……”。PartVWriting1）写作指导:本篇作文是典型的论述某一观点的三段式论说文。这种类型的作文要求考生只谈一种观点，即从正面或反面来旗帜鲜明地阐明某个问题的重要性和必要性。就本篇作文而言，具体的谋篇布局如下：第一段：简明扼要地说明我们生活中存在的种种不良生活习惯。第二段：重点论述不良生活习惯所产生的不好后果及其影响，阐述养成良好生活习惯的重要性和必要性。第三段：总结性点题：我们应该改掉不良生活习惯。2）参考范文：OurBadHabitsinLifeShouldbeRemovedInourlifesomeofushaveverybadhabits,suchasspittinginpublic,eatingsomethingwithoutwashinghands.Someoneevengoesfurther,havingamaniaforeatingwildanimals.Theproblemofourbadlivinghabitshasagaindrawnpeople’sattentionbecauseoftheappearanceofterribleinfectiousSARS.Somepeoplethinkthatitisatrivialproblem,andonlyamatteroftheirown,havingnothingtodowithothers.Isitreallythecaseastheythinkso?Certainlynot!Firstofall,ifapersongetsintoabadhabitinlife,itwilldoharmtohimorhernotonlyphysicallybutalsomentally.Furthermore,itmayaffectothersandthesociety.Ifapersonwithbadhabitscomesdownwithaterribleinfectiousdisease,itislikelyforhimorhertoinfectittoothersorperhapstothesociety.ThesuddenworldwidetransmissionoftheterribleSARSisagoodcaseinpoint.Solongaseveryonepaysattentiontohisorherpersonalhealthandformsgoodhabitsinlife,thechanceofbeingtakenillwilllargelydecrease,andnaturallysowillthechanceofthespreadofwideinfectiousdisease.Inbrief,ourbadhabitsinlifeshouldberemovedandanindividual’sgoodlivinghabitswillsurelybenefiteveryoneofthesocietyand,tosomeextent,theyreflectthequalityofamanaswellasofanation.
