参考答案及解析

1.译文：只要任他按自己的方法去做，他肯定会按时完成工作的。

答案为[D]：本题考点：复合连词辨析。[D] so long as“只要”符合题意。[A]in that因为，在——方面；[B]in case万一；[C]as far as远至，同样的距离。

2.译文：若这类鱼已变得稀少，那么后人将无缘品尝它们了。

答案为[A]：本题考点：形容词近义词辨析。[A]scarce（常作表语）稀缺的，珍贵的。[B]minimum更小的；[C]short短的，不足的；[D]seldom（副词）很少，不常。

3.译文：据当地报纸报道，该银行昨天在光天化日之下遭抢劫。

答案为[B]：本题考点：非谓语动词。根据句意，“报道时，银行已经被抢”，因此只有[B]正确，是不定式的完成式。

4.译文：农业是人类在发展史上迈出的一大步，在机器时代来临之前，该进步无与伦比。答案为〔A〕：本题考点：固定搭配。该句的选项由固定用法compare to演化而来，which即指 agriculture，是compare的宾语，故选[A]。

5.译文：相同的因素使工资与物价一起上涨，二者互相攀升，水涨船高。

答案为 [C]：本题考点：动词近义词辨析。[C]reinforce， 加强，补充，符合句意。[A]increase，增加；[B]emphasize强调；[D]multiply增加，繁殖，使相乘。

6.译文：没有人告诉过史密斯第二天有讲座。

答案为[D]：本题考点：结构的动名词形式。介词后必须跟的动名词形式，所以选[D].

7.译文：手术曾一度使病人疲惫不堪，需要长时间休整恢复，而今手术却让病人轻松舒适。

答案为[B]：本题考点：过去分词辨析。exhausted“精疲力尽”，符合句意。[A] injured受伤的；[C] deserted废弃的，荒芜的；[D]abandoned被抛弃的。

8.译文：在我回母亲家的半路上，苏珊赶上了我。

答案为[C]：本题考点：when和 while的辨析。when后往往接瞬间动词，而后往往接持续性动词。题中是一个瞬间动作，所以选when.

9.译文：由于温度迅速下降，我们无法继续实验了。

答案为[A]：本题考点：分词独立主格。分词独立主格前不能用连词，只有with在此可以使用。选项[B]，[C]，[D]都是连接表示原因的从句。

10.译文：这张床在家里代代相传，它更初是我祖母的。

答案为[D]：本题考点：动词短语辨析。[D] hand down传给后代，往下传。[A]hand out分发，分配；[B]hand round 无此搭配；[C]hand over移交，交出。
