Ⅰ 求英語閱讀題和完形填空題

To find out whether bees（蜜蜂）can see colours, the following experiment is made. A round table is put in a garden, and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard（硬紙版）with a drop of syrup（糖漿）on it. After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive（蜂房）and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have found. After a while, the blue cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place and a red card to its right. These new cards have no syrup on them. Very soon bees arrive again, and fly straight to the blue card. None go to the red card.

Now satellites are helping to forecast（預報）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大氣）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（氣象學家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.

Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比較）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed ring the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.

So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.

1. Satellites travel _____________.

A. in space B. in the atmosphere

C. above the ground D. above space

2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.

A. the weather satellites can do it easily

B. clouds form there

C. the weather forms there

D. the pictures can forecast the weather

3. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.

A. when they have received satellite pictures

B. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones

C. before they received satellite pictures

D. ring they study satellite pictures

4. Maybe we』ll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.

A. one day B. two days

C. five days D. seven days or even longer

5. The main（主要的）idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.

A. taking pictures of the atmosphere

B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere

C. doing other work in many ways

D. weather forecasting

In almost every big university（大學）in the United States, football is a favourite sport. American football is different. Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances（機會）to move the ball ten yards（碼）. They can carry it or they can throw it. If they move the ball ten yards, they can try to move it another ten yards. If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points（點）.

Ⅱ 全新版大學英語(第二版)綜合教程2 第八單元 A Fable for Tomorrow 課文翻譯

課文翻譯：從前在美國中心有一個小鎮，那裡的萬物看上去都與其四周的環境融洽相處。小鎮的四周是像棋盤交錯的生意盎然的農庄，還有一塊塊的田地和一座座遍布山坡的果園。

春天來了，白色的鮮花雲彩般地漂浮在田野上；秋天到了，橡樹、楓樹和樺樹色彩斑斕，在一片松樹林間火焰般地燃燒與跳躍。小山上狐狸吠叫，田野間小鹿靜靜地躍過，所有的一切都在秋天清晨的薄霧中半隱半現。

在路的兩旁，一年中許多時候，月桂樹、莢蓮、榿木、蕨類植物和各樣的野花都能讓過往的行人賞心悅目。即使是冬天，路邊的景色依舊是美不勝收，那裡無數的小鳥來覓取漿果莓和露在雪地上的枯枝上的種子。事實上，這鄉村正是由於鳥類的數量和種類之繁多而出名的。

在候鳥群潮湧而來的春秋季節，人們從大老遠的地方慕名前來欣賞。還有的人來這里的小溪垂釣。清冽的溪水從山中流出，溪水中有許多鱒魚藏身的背陰的水潭。所以，從許多年前開始，第一批居住者就在這里蓋房挖井，搭起了自己的谷倉。

後來，一種奇怪的摧毀力悄然襲擊了這個地區，所有的一切都開始變了。某種邪惡的符咒籠罩了這個社區：神秘的疾病攻擊了雞群，牛、羊也紛紛病死，到處都有一層死亡的陰影。農夫們談論著家中的許多疾病；鎮上的醫生也越來越因病人中出現的新的病症而感到迷惑。

在成人和孩子中發生了好幾起突發的不明其由的死亡，那些孩子在玩耍中突然病倒，幾小時後就死去了。

這里是一派奇怪的寂靜。就說鳥兒們吧---它們都去哪兒了？許多人說起鳥兒的時候都充滿了迷惑與不安。他們後院的飼養站已經沒有鳥兒光顧了。

隨處能見到的幾只鳥都奄奄一息。他們猛烈地顫抖，卻飛不起來。這是一個無聲的春天。曾經是震動著畫眉鳥、貓鳥、鴿子、樫鳥、歐鷦和許多鳥兒的黎明合唱聲的清晨如今卻寂然無聲。田野間、樹林中和沼澤地里也是一片寂靜。

在農庄，母雞下蛋卻孵不出小雞。農夫們抱怨無法養豬，因為剛生下的豬崽太小了，小豬也只能活幾天的功夫。蘋果樹開花了，可是沒有蜜蜂在花叢中嗡嗡地采蜜，沒有蜜蜂的授粉，也就沒有任何果子。

曾經是如此迷人的路旁如今卻鋪著黑黑的枯乾的草木，彷彿是被一場大火燒過一般。那裡也是一片寂靜，因為所有的生物都遺棄了它。即使是溪流中也沒有了生命。因為所有的魚都已經死了，垂釣者也就不再來了。

在屋檐下的天溝里，屋頂的木瓦之間仍舊可見幾片白色的粒狀的粉末。幾個星期之前，它像白雪一樣灑在了屋頂上、草地上、田野里和溪流里。

在這個遭受襲擊的地球上，沒有巫術，也沒有敵人的行動抑制了新生命的復甦；這一切都是人自身造成的。

英語翻譯技巧：

1、轉換句子法：顧名思義，轉換句子法就是在英譯中，或者中譯英的翻譯題里，為了使將要譯出的句子符合中文/英文裡面的表達習慣、方法和方式等目標，而把題目中原句的語態、所用詞類以及句型等進行處理轉換。

2、省略翻譯法:這與最開始提到的增譯法相反，就是要求你把不符合漢語，或者英語的表達的方式、思維的習慣或者語言的習慣的部分刪去，以免使所翻譯出的句子沉雜累贅。

3、合並翻譯法就是把多個短句子或者簡單句合並到一起，形成一個復合句或者說復雜句，多出現在漢譯英的題目里出現，比如最後會翻譯成定語從句、狀語從句、賓語從句等等。

這是因為漢語句子裡面喜歡所謂的「形散神不散」，即句子結構鬆散，但其中的語意又是緊密相連的，所以為了表達出這種感覺，漢語多用簡單句進行寫作。而英語則不同，它比較強調形式，結構嚴謹，所以會多用復雜句、長句。因此，漢譯英時還需要注意介詞、連詞、分詞的使用。

4、拆分法:當然，英譯漢的時候，就要採取完全相反的戰術——拆分法，即把一個長難句細細拆分為一個個小短句、簡單句，並適當補充詞語，是句子通順。最後，注意還需要按照漢語習慣調整語序，達到不僅能看懂而且不拗口的目標。

5、插入法:就是把不能處理的句子，利用括弧、雙逗號等插入到所翻譯的句子中，不過這種方法多用在筆譯裡面，口譯用的非常少。

第一篇：

Merchant and passenger ships are generally required to have a life preserver for every person aboard and in many cases, a certain percentage of smaller sizes for children. According to United States requirements, life preservers must design, reversible capable of being quickly adjusted to fit the uninitiated indivial, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.

Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should be retained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it should be reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made of materials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be not easily set on fire.?The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is most important, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.

The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated persons even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follow a disaster. Thus, the life be reversible that it is nearly impossible to get it on wrong. Catches, straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatly affects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim.

1. The passage is mainly about____.

A) the uses of life preservers

B) the design of life preservers

C) the materials for life preservers

D) the buoyancy of life preservers

A) with as few strings as possible

B) capable of being worn on both sides

C) according to each wearer's size

D) comfortable and light to wear

4. By “the uninitiated indivial” (Para. 1, Line. 4) the author refers to the person ____.

A) who has not been instructed how to use a life preserver

B) who has a little experience in using a life preserver

C) who uses a life preserver without permission

D) who becomes nervous before a disaster

5. What would happen if a person were supported by the life preserver in a wrong position?

A) The waves would move him backwards.

B) The water would choke him.

C) He would immediately sink to the bottom.

D) He would be exhausted or unconscious.

第二篇：

The table before which we sit may be, as the scientist maintains, composed of dancing atoms, but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind, and it is not with dancing atoms but a solid and motionless object that we live. So remote is this “real” table——and most of the other “realities” with which science deals——that it cannot be discussed in terms which have any human value, and though it may receive our purely intellectual credence it cannot be woven into the pattern of life as it is led, in contradistinction to life as we attempt it. Vibrations in the ether(以太) are so totally unlike the color, purple that the gulf between them cannot be bridged, and they are, to all intents and purposes，not one but two separate things of which the second and less “real” must be the most significant for us. And just as the sensation which has led us to attribute all objective reality to a non-existent thing which we called “purple”is more important for human life than the conception of vibrations of a certain frequency; so too the belief in God; however ill founded, has been more important in the life of man than the germ theory of true the latter may be.

We may, if we like, speak of consequence, as certain mystics love to do, of the different levels or orders of truth. We may adopt what is essentially a Platonistic (布拉圖式的) trick of thought and insist upon postulating the existence of external realities which correspond to the needs and modes of human feeling and which, so we may insist, have their being in some part of the universe unreachable by science. But to do so is to make an unwarrantable assumption and to be guilty of the metaphysical fallacy of failing to distinguish between a truth of feeling and that other sort of truth which is described as “truth of correspondence” and it is better perhaps, at least for those of us who have grown up in thought, to steer clear of such confusions and to rest content with the admission that, though the universe with which science deals is the real universe, yet we do not and cannot have any but fleeting and imperfect contacts with it; that the most important part of our lives-our sensations, emotions, desires and aspirations-take place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate or destroy, but which it is powerless to enrich.

1. The author suggests that in order to bridge the puzzling difference between scientific truth and the world of illusion, the reader should____.

A) try to rid himself of his world of illusion

B) accept his words as being one of illusion

C) apply the scientific method

D) learn to acknowledge both

2. Judging from the ideas and tone of the selection, one may reasonably guess that the author is ____.

A) a humanist B) a pantheist C) a nuclear physicist D) a doctor of medicine

3. According to this passage, a scientist would conceive of a “table” as being ____.

A) a solid motionless object

B) certain characteristic vibrations in “ether”

C) a form fixed in space and time

D) a mass of atoms in motion

4. The topic of this selection is____.

A) the distortion of reality by science

B) the confusion caused by emotions

C) Platonic and contemporary views of truth

D) the place of scientific truth in our lives

5. By “objective reality” (Last line, Para. 1) the author means____.

A) scientific reality

B) a symbolic existence

C) the viewer's experience

D) reality colored by emotion

文章主要講述了救生衣的設計。間接題型段首主旨題。C項和D項都是對救生衣設計中設計材料的說明。A項為陷阱，指救生衣的用途，盡管開頭提到，但范圍不著邊際。故只有B是正確選項。

2. D

根據文章，救生衣首先會自動扶正。事實細節題。本文第三段主要討論救生衣落水位置，應設計的能“自動扶正”,或稍向後仰。B項是對材料的描述，范圍太窄，而A和C不合題意，因此D是正確答案。

3. C

美國海岸巡邏隊不需要救生衣根據穿戴者的尺寸生產。事實細節題。A項和B項都涉及method，其相關部分見最後一段第三句，A，B，D三項都是文章中提及的，C項與本題無關的'內容，因此應該選C。

4. A

“the uninitiated indivial”作者指的是不知道怎麼使用救生衣的人。語義指代題。根據文章最後一段第一句，我們可推出“the uninitiated indivial”就是指的那些不知道怎麼使用救生衣的人。故A是正確選項。

5. D

如果一個人沒有正確使用救生衣，就會發生什麼?細節辨別題。第三段第一句後半句中a face-down position和本題中的 in a wrong position相對應。因此選項D“他可能太累了或者是已經失去知覺”是正確答案。

第二篇：

1. B

作者暗示為了聯系起科學世界和虛幻世界的不同點，把他的話當作一種假相。間接題型段尾結論題。根據第二段最後一句話，我們可推出B是正確答案。

2. A

由文章的觀點及語氣可推知作者是人文主義者。暗示推斷題。文中第一段第一句後半句提到“...but a solid and motionless object that we live”由此我們可以推出該作者是一位人文主義者。

3. D

根據文章，科學家相信“table”就是一群運動的原子。直接題型語義指代題。根據第一段第一 句的前半句“...but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind, and it is not with dancing atoms ...”我們可推出D是正確答案。

4. D

文章的主題為生活中科學真理的地位。段首主旨題。從第二段最後一句後半句“...that the most important part of our lives-our sensations, emotions, desires and aspirations-takes place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate or destroy, but which it is powerless to enrich.”我們可以推斷出本文只要講了科學真理在現實生活中的地位。因而答案應選D。

5. A

對於作者，“objective reality”意味著科學現實。語義指代題。根據文章最後一段，我們可得知“objective reality”即科學現實的意思，因而，答案應該選A。

肆喚 測試吸煙

Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to 「think and concentrate.」 Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剝奪仔基) of cigarettes through a series of tests. In the first test, each subject (試驗對象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and nonsmokers performed equally well. The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster， but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers. In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers. The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but al so had trouble separating important information from insignificant details. 「As our tests became more complex.」Sums up Spilich,「non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins」He predicts,「smokers might per form adequately at many jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.」

這是一篇說明文，念雹謹講的是關於測試吸煙是否有助於思考和集中精力的實驗。

1. The purpose of George Spilich's experiments is _______.

A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers

B) to show how smoking damages people's mental capacity

C) to prove that smoking affects people's regular performance

D) to find out whether smoking helps people's short-term memory

2. George Spilich's experiment was concted in such a way as to _______.

A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor details

B) put the subjects through increasingly complex tests

C) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokers

D) register the prompt responses of the subjects

3. The word「bested」(Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means _______.

A) beat B) envied C) caught up with D) made the best of

4. Which of the following statements is true?

A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.

B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.

C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.

D) Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.

5. We can infer from the last paragraph that _______.

參考答案及解析

1、[答案及分析]：[A]事實辨認題，依據是第1段的兩句話。

2、[答案及分析]：[B]本題問G有S的實驗是以下列哪 種方式進行的。文章第2段說the first test是simple test,第3段開頭說第2個實驗more complex，最後一段開頭說「隨著測試逐漸變得復雜，不吸煙的人越來越比吸煙者做得好」，由此可見,George Spilich進行這種測試時以由易到難的順序進行的。因而B項正確。

3、[答案及分析]：[A]詞義推斷題。我們可以看出該被要求推斷詞 義的詞所在的上下文意為：沒有被允許吸煙的人憂於那些在測試前片刻吸過煙的人。best在此句中是動詞，意思應該是「優於、超過」。而四個選項的意思分別是：beat(擊敗，戰勝)catch up with(趕上)make the best of(充分利用)。可以看出,best和beat意思最為接近。

4、[答案及分析]：[C]根據第2段第2句可知C項正確：另外，根據倒數第2段的後兩句、第3段第2句可知A、B、D均不正確。

5、[答案及分析]：[D]與本題有關的信息在最後一段兩句：Spilich認為，吸煙者能勝任並不復雜的工作，但不能勝行復雜的任務。一個吸煙的飛行員不出現任何問題時能稱職也駕駛飛機飛行。但是一旦出現問題，吸煙就會損害他的大腦工作能力。
