Space Tourism
Make your reservations now.The space tourism industry is officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space.Despite reluctance from National Air and Space Administration(NASA), Russia made American businessman Dennis Tito the world's first space tourist.Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station(ISS)on April 30,2001.The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttle worth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25,2002, also bound for the ISS.Lance Bass of 'N Sync was supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30,2002, due to lack of payment.Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approved of it.These trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st century industry.There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades.These companies have invested millions, believing that space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars.A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $ 10 billion per year industry within the next two decades.The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.Space Accommodations
Russia's Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists.But in March 2001, the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean.As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir.The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001.Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia's cosmonaut(宇航员)training center, Star City.Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station.The Mir crash has ruled out NBC's space plans for now.NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism.There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel.Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space: Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure(基础结构)”that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks(to start, it should take around 12 or so), and place it about 400 miles above Earth.The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth's.According to their vision statement, Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousands of people in space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and aboard dozens of different vehicles...” Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and the possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel.However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.Initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best.For instance, if the International Space Station is used as a tourist attraction, guests won't find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel room on Earth.It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment.How ever, the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island, such a hotel could offer guests every convenience they might find at hotel on Earth, and some they might not.The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space-tourists and residents to walk around and function normally within the structure.Everything from running water to recycling plant to medical facilities would be possible.Additionally, space tourists would even be able to take space walks.Many of these companies believe that they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands, if not millions, of dollars to ride into space.So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots?
The most Expensive Vacation
Will space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy? Or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? Make no mistake about it, gong to space will be the most expensive vacation you ever take.Prices right now are in the tens of millions of dollars.Currently, the only vehicles that can take you into space are the space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient.Each spacecraft requires millions of pounds of fuel to take off into space, which makes them expensive to launch.One pound of payload(有效载重)costs about $10,000 to put into Earth's orbit.NASA and Lockheed Martin are currently developing a single-stage-to orbit launch space plane, called the Venture Star, that could be launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle costs to launch.If the Venture Star takes off, the number of people who could afford to take a trip into space would move into the millions.In 1998, a joint report form NASA and the Space Transportation Association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50,000, and possibly down to $20,000 or $10,000 a decade later.The report concluded that at a ticket price of $50,000, there could be 500,000 passengers flying into space each year.While still leaving out many people, these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.Since the beginning of the space race, the general public has said, “Isn't that great--when do I get to go?” Well, our chance might be closer than ever.Within the next 20 years, space planes could be taking off for the Moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between New York and Los Angeles.2006年12月新四级英语真题完形填空

点评:
本次四级考试作文总体上来说并不是很难。但表现出两个出人意料:一是体裁,二是题材。
对于体裁来说,本次四级作文属于正反对比论证类的文体。比较出人意料,又回到了老的考查模式。很多学生把考前死背的作文模板派上了用场。但是这只能得到最基本的分数。虽然模板对于考查学生的语言表达并不益处,但还能测试出考生的语言基本功。从四级考试写作的测试目的来看,还是注重考查学生对基本语法、基本词汇运用能力的掌握情况。所以除了模板之外,考生还要在基本表达上狠下功夫,只有在平时多操练,在考场上才游刃有余。除此之外,学生还要在作文中多采用闪光点,这样就会使作文在基本分数上有所提升,有所突破。
对于题材,本次四级作文的话题是关于人们对于春节晚会的不同看法,属于社会生活类话题,一反常态,没有再次考查校园类话题。但是对于当代大学生来说,与大学生有关的社会话题也是需要关注的,这也说明考试方向的变化:校园类话题与社会热点话题同等重要,这一点对于未来考四级的学生的作文备考的方向有一定的指导意义。

预测十一
1.近几年出现了大学生就业难的现象
2.产生这种现象的原因(如大学生追求的目标过高,专业不对口等)3.如何解决这一问题(改变就业观念,大学生再培训等)College Students’ Job Hunting In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job.It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play.Then what underlies the strange phenomenon? There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high.All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others.Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not “good” enough.Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs.So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students.The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains.They should be down-to–earth in building up their career.Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent.预测十九

请将下面这段中文翻译成英文:
中国土地广阔,人口众多。尽管全国都讲汉语,但是不同地区的人说汉语的方式不同,这被称为方言。方言一般被称为地方话,是汉语在不同地区的分支,只在特定地区使用。汉语方言非常复杂。它们有以下三方面不同:发音、词汇和语法。发音的区别最为显著。2000多年前,中国人发现社交时应该使用同一的语言。和方言相比,普通话能被所有人理解。普通话有利于不同种族、地区人民之间的信息传递和文化交流。
参考译文:
China has a vast land and a large population.Even though the Chinese language is spoken all over the country, people in different areas speak it in different ways, which are called dialects.Generally called local languages, dialects are branches of the Chinese language in different regions, and are only used in certain areas.Dialects of the Chinese language are very complicated.They differ from each other in three aspects: pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.And the difference in pronunciation is the most outstanding.Over 2000 years ago, Chinese people realized that a common language should be used in social activities.Compared with dialects, mandarin can be understood by all people in China.The use of mandarin can contribute to information transmission and cultural exchange between ethnic groups and people in different places.词句点拨:

中国五年前根本没有高速铁路。但是现在高铁列车(high-speed trains)的票经常很快就售罄,尽管发车间隔比较短。人们能够很方便地以两倍于美国火车最髙速的速度在全国周游。高速铁路系统的运菅非常成功,它运载的乘客是全国民航(civil aviation)系统运载的乘客的两倍。中国有世界上最先进的、低排放的快速运输系统之一,而做到这一点仅仅用了五年。
参考译文:
China didn't have a high-speed rail five years ago.But now the tickets of high-speed trains are usually sold out very quickly, even though the departure interval is quite short.And people can conveniently travel around the nation at a speed that doubles the speed of the fastest American train.The operation of high-speed rail system is very successful;it carries twice as many passengers as the nation's civil aviation system.China has one of the most advanced rapid transit systems with low emissions in the world, and it only takes five years to achieve this.词句点拨
1.但是现在高铁列车的票经常很快就售罄,尽管发车间隔比较短“售罄”:可译为sell out,意为“卖完了,卖光了”;“发车间隔”译为departure interval。
2.人们能够很方便地以两倍于美国火车最高速的速度在全国周游:“以...的速度”可译为at a speed...,speed意为“速度”“;两倍于”即“是...的两倍”,可译为double,也可译为twice。
3.高速铁路系统的运营非常成功,它运栽的乘客是全国民航系统运载的乘客的两倍:“运栽”可用carry来表示。“倍数+as+many/much/large等形容词+(比较的内容)+as”为英语中表达倍数时常用的结构,中间的形容词根据比较的内容来定,如比较大小则用as large as,表示“是...的两倍大”则为twice as large as。
如今,越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下:首先,大学生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学科学习上,只有当他们开始找工作的时候,才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次,大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈,这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此,强烈建议大学生在课余时间做一些兼职工作,以积累相关的工作经验。
Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job.The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training.Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce.And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job.Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.自从1978年经济改革以来,中国已经完成了从中央计划经济(centrally planned economy)向市场经济(market based economy)的转变。超过6亿人已经脱离了贫困,但是仍然有超过1.7亿人生活在国际贫困线以下天少于1.25美元。2012年,中国的人均GDP 为12405.67美元,这是30年前的37倍。到2018年,中国的人均 GDP将从世界第90位上升到第75位。然而,这仍然是低于预计的世界平均水平。
Since initiating market reforms in 1978,China has shifted from a centrally planned to a market based economy.More than 600 million citizens have been lifted out of poverty, but over 170 million people still live below the $1.25-a-day international poverty line.In 2012, China’s GDP(PPP)per capita was $12,405.67.This is 37 times higher than what it was just 30 years ago.By 2018,China’s GDP per capita will climb from the 90th to 75th highest in the world.This however will still be below the forecasted world average.“剩女(leftover women)”这个词被用来指那些在二十八九岁,甚至更大年龄仍未结婚的女性。有些人认为“剩女”是需要认真对待的社会力量,而另一些人则主张这个词应被视为褒义词,意思是“成功女性”。据2010年的中国婚姻调查(Chinese National Marriage Survey)报道,90%的男人认为女人应该在27岁之前结婚。在中国,大部分“剩女”都是受过良好教育的中产阶级。跟以前几代人相比,如今的女性更加自由,更能够独立生活。
参考译文:
“Leftover women”is a term that refers to women who remain unmarried in their late twenties and beyond.Some people regard leftover women as a social force to be reckoned with”,while others have argued that the term should be taken as a positive term to mean“successful women”.In a 2010 Chinese National Marriage Survey,it was reported that 9 out of 10 men believe that women should be married before they are 27 years old.In China leftover women are mostly well-educated middle class.Women today are more free and able to live independently in comparison to previous generations.丝绸之路(the Silk Road)是历史上连接中国和地中海的一条重要贸易路线。因为这条路上的丝绸贸易占绝大部分,所以在1877年它被德国的一位地理学家命名为“丝绸之路”。这条古道从长安开始,经过河西走廊(the Hexi Corridor),到达敦煌后分成三条:南部路线,中部路线和北部路线。这三条路遍布新疆维吾尔自治区(Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region),然后扩展到巴基斯坦(Pakistan),印度,甚至罗马。
The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean.Because silk comprised a large proportion of trade along this road, in 1877, it was named the Silk Road by an eminent German geographer.This ancient road begins at Chang’an, then by way of the Hexi Corridor,and it reaches Dunhuang, where it divides into three, the Southern Route,Central Route and North¬ern Route.The three routes spread all over the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and then they extend as far as Pakistan, India and even Rome.中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放,这对海外企业(enterprises)意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来,中国企业与海外企业一直积极开展经济技术合作,并取得了巨大成就。海外企业不仅帮助中国企业的成长,而且也在合作中取得了收益。中国政府将继续提供有力的政策和条件,推动中国企业与国外企业进一步开展合作。
China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world, which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises.Since China’s reform and opening up, Chinese enterprises have been cooperating with overseas enterprises in terms of economy and technology, and have scored great/ tremendous achievement.Overseas enterprises have not only helped Chinese enterprises with their growth, but also benefited from the cooperation.Chinese government will continue to offer favorable policies and conditions to promote the further cooperation between Chinese and overseas enterprises.在中国,广场舞非常受中老年妇女们的欢迎,在城市广场或开阔的地方你经常可以见到她们卖力做动作的身影。但因其噪音大又扰民,很多人对此颇有怨言。你认为广场舞扰民吗?

有人说,单词是做好阅读的关键;然而这并不意味着只要弄懂单词就行了;阅读理解,还有一个关键就是:读懂句子,掌握各个句子之前的逻辑关系,这样才能顺利的理解文章的意思。下面就让我们一起看看阅读中常考的逻辑关系吧!
首先是我们最熟悉的因果关系。
因:because、because of、for、as、since、in that、on account of、with
果:so、so that、therefore、thereby、as a result、hence、thus、consequently、accordingly
因果关系除了传统意义上的显性因果表达词外,隐性的因果同样是不可忽略的一个重要部分。
隐性因果:
A 导致(因-果):cause、reason、lead to、give rise to、result in、render、make、let、ask、push、stimulate、fuel、produce
如:The increased presures of expanding population have led to the removal of woody plants so that many cities and tow are surrounded by large areas completely lacking in trees.在这段话中,有lead to表示了导致的意思,即结果,而so that更进一步表示了后面的结果,所以可以充分判定这段话有因果关系的逻辑。
B 由„而来(果-因):result from、derive from、originate from、initiate from、stem from、be attributable to
如:“The extreme serioue of desertification results from the vast areas of land and tremendous numbers of people affected,as well as from the great difficulty of reversing or even slowing the proce.”
在这段话中,根据result from可以推断出有因果关系,那如果是解释句子题时,选项中有因果关系就可以优先考虑。
C 反映,体现(果-因):reflect、present、demonstrate、suggest、imply
D 考虑到:given、considering、in view of、thanks to、according to
He succeeded thanks to(in view of)his effort.E 依赖于:rely on、depend on、resort to
He resorted to books when he had problems.F 条件关系:when、once、as soon as、As long as
As soon as he got the money, he would leave the country at once.G 分词短语,不定式做状语:Failing in the final exam, she cried.在漫长的30分钟四级听力中,最怕的就是捡了芝麻,丢了西瓜。最重要的信息经常会因为一时疏忽而丢掉分数。所以,在四级听力中,一定要抓住以下这七类关键词!
一、转折性词汇
学会听转折词汇,如yet, however, though, whereas, unfortunately, unexpectedly, instead, rather than, other than, to be frank, frankly speaking, to tell you the truth,etc.二、逻辑类词汇
表原因:because, because of, for, as, due to, owing to, in that, now that, according to;
表结果:therefore, so, as a result, consequently, eventually;
表递进:apart from, in addition, furthermore, what's more, moreover,etc.三、最高级词汇
形容词和副词的最高级最需要关注,如most importantly, the most popular...the biggest of...四、事实罗列词汇
在诸如actually, in fact, as a matter of fact,etc.这些词汇后可能是关键的考点
五、序数词
如the first, firstly and finally
六、情态动词
如sb.has got to, can , could, may, might, need,should, ought to,etc
七、重要形容词
表示重要的词本身就很重要呢,如important, crucial, chief,major,significant, the only, unique, essential, necessary, vital, etc.四级作文常用的70个基本术语,考前赶紧背下来吧!

第五篇:英语四级翻译题
1.It作形式主语时的常用句型
㈠形式一:It is+形容词+that/wh-从句
例:It is important_____________________(保持生态平衡)。
答案:that we should keep the balance of nature
(本题考查It 作形式主语时的用法,英语中的主语从句有时为了避免头重脚轻,常用it 作形式主语,而真正的主语用that引导放在后面)
㈡形式二:It+不及物动词+that„
例:He has been here only three days and_______________________(由此可见他对那事一无所知)。
答案:it follows that he knows nothing about that
(本题考查 It+不及物动词+that„结构,注意前后句子时态的一致)
㈢形式三:It+be+名词+that„
例:It is our wish that__________________(他爱怎么样就怎么样)
答案:he does what he pleases
(本题考查 It作形式主语的同时,涉及了考试大虚拟语气的考查,在it is our wish/hope that 等结构中,从句子的谓语动词要用should+动词原形这样的虚拟语气)
㈣形式四:It+be+done+that„
例:It is said that____________________(宇宙形成于一次大爆炸以后)
答案:the universe formed after the Big Explode
(本题考查 It作形式主语的用法,常用于It+be+done+that„,结构的动词有report, announce, expert等,常译为“据说”,“据报道”)
1.He told us not to wait for him because___________________(他是否来还不敢肯定)。
2.He has no intention of making progress so__________________(你老是帮助他是没有用的)
3.(后来证实)________________she is a friend of my sister.4.Nevertheless,_________________(不可否认的是),it can bring some side-effects
答案:
1.it was uncertain whether he would come
2.it is no use that you always help him
3.It turned out that
4.it cannot be denied that 模拟演练:
1.She never laughed,_____________________(也从不发脾气)。
2.All the key words in the article are printed in bold type so as to__________________(吸引读者的注意力)。
3.The room is in a terrible mess,it____________________(肯定没打扫过)。
4.(这个计划成功的关键)____________________is good planning.5.When I __________________(发现他骗我)I stopped buying things there and started dealing with another shop.答案:
1.nor did she ever lose temper/become angry
(本题有两个考察点,第一,表示“两个都不”的否定词应该用nor,要把它置于句首句子要有倒装,第二,“发脾气”的表达法:lose temper/become angry)
2.draw /attract reader’s attention
(考察draw /attract reader’s attention “引起某人注意”,so as to 后接do sth.)
3.can’t have been cleaned
(“情态动词+have done”表示推测,can’t表示不可能,如考试大推测的事为过去式,则情态动词后用完成式)
4.The key to the success of this project
(key在这里解答、关键,其后一般接介词to)
5.found/caught him cheating me
(本题考察find/catch+宾语+宾补结构,表示发现某人做某事,cheat是及物动词,直接接宾语)2否定句
㈠部分否定句
部分否定句虽然是否定句的形式,但其否定意义只局限于整体的一部分。其形式为:概括词all, both, every, everybody, everything, everywhere, always, altogether, entirely和wholly等。
例:There is a famous proverb saying that_______________________(闪光的东西并非都是金子)
答案:all that glitters is not gold
(本题主要考察部分否定句。该谚语中,that glitters是一个定语从句,修饰前面的all)㈡完全否定句
完全否定句是针对部分否定句而言,这种否定是彻底的。其形式为:no,none等否定词+肯定式谓语,常见的可以用于这一句型的否定意义的词有:no, none, nobody, nowhere, anyhow, neither, never等,在这一句型中,不定代词不能做主语。还有一种形式为all等概括词+肯定式谓语+含否定意义的词。
例:Cheap as it is,but__________________(我今天无论如何都买不到)
答案:anyhow I will not buy it today
(本题主要考察完全否定句,anyhow意思是“无论如何都不”)
1.Don’t you be told that __________________(这两本书并非都是有益的)
2.Although most people like music,____________________________(但并非人人都想去听音乐会)
3.____________________________(他的一切计划都泡汤了),so don’t count on his fulfilling the task on time.4.He is so excited_______________________________(他此时此刻的心情是无法用语言来形容的)
答案:
1.both of the books are not helpful 2.everyone don’t want to go to the concert
3.All his plan came to nothing 4.that none of the words can describe his feelings ㈢双重否定句
①其形式一为:主语+cannot+help/refrain/keep+from+动名词。Help from, refrain from, keep from等词具有“抑制,忍住”等否定含义,与cannot等连用,具有双重否定的意义。
例:Having won the gold medal,___________________(他禁不住喜形于色)。
答案:he could not refrain from showing his pleasure.(本题考察双重否定句,refrain from的意思是“克制,避免”)
②其形式二为:主语+cannot+but/choose but/help but+动词原形。
例:_______________________(我们别无选择只好另投旅馆住宿),since all the hotels here are with signs “Be Booked Up”.答案:We could not help but look for another one to stay in.(本题考察双重否定句,“cannot help but”句型,注意这里but后要用动词原形。)
③其形式三为:(There be)no+主语+but+谓语。在此句型中,but是关系代词,即代替前面的名词,又引导后面的从句,并且具有否定意义。
例:He is so devoted to his experiment that______________________(没有人感觉不到他对事业的热爱)。
答案:not a man/no man but felt his love to his career
(本题考察双重否定句型,“no+主语+but+谓语”,no相当于not a 或 not any)
1.___________________(我们忍不住笑起来)when he finished the story.2.______________________(人们不能不被他的事迹所感动)after knowing the bachelor has adopted five orphans.3.Don’t always stick to routines ,and you must know___________________(没有无例外的规则)。
答案:
1.We could not help laughing
2.One cannot but be moved by his deeds
3.there is no rule but has its exceptions 3.判断句
㈠强调判断句
① 形式一:主语+be+no/none+other than/but+表语(强调内容)
The man who stolen my watch was ______________________(不是别人,正是约翰)。no other than John ② 形式二:主语+be+nothing+(else)but/else than/less than+表语
例:The rich have their annoyances because ________________(有些人除了钱之外一无所有)。
答案:someone have nothing but money
(本题考察强调判断句型“主语+be+nothing+(else)but”,the rich 意思是“富人”,属于“the+形容词”表示一类人或物,表示一类人作主语时,谓语用复数,表示抽象事物时,谓语用单数。
③ 形式三:It is/was+强调部分+that/who+从句
例:________________________(做那个实践的正是我父亲)in the lab yesterday.答案:It was my father who did the experiment.(本题考察强调判断句型,强调的宾语是the experiment,引导词用who)
1.The tall figure that I saw__________________(不是别人,正是我们的校长)。
2.To everyone’s surprise,_____________(他只是一味的笑)。
3._____________________(这正是我父亲做的那个试验)in the lab yesterday.答案:1.was none other than our president
2.he did nothing else than laugh
3.It was the experiment that my father did
(二)正反判断句
① 形式一 :主语+be +not+表语A +but+表语B
例:There are different opinions about the true meaning of life, but most people believe that_________________________________(生命并不一定要漫长,但是要五彩缤纷)。
答案:life is not always long but it must be amazing
(本题考察正反判断句,注意but后如果是一个完整的句子,主语一定要和前面的保持一致)
② 形式二:(It is)not „that(who)„,but„ that(who)„
例:It is not that I dislike the work,_________________________(而是我没有时间)
答案:but that I have no time
(本题考察正反判断句,注意“not that „but that”中的两个that 均不能省略)
1.I am badly ill,______________________________(不是肉体上,而是精神上)。2.It is not heroes who create the people, but the people ______________________(创造英雄并推动历史向前)。
3.It is a big joke that _________________________(无论何时我听到它都忍不住笑起来)。
答案:
1.not bodily, but mentally 2,who create heroes and move history onward 3.I can’t help laughing whenever I hear it ㈢比较判断句
① 形式一:主语+be +less/more+表语A+ than+表语B
例:He does everything with great care but I think ________________________(与其说他谨慎,不如说他是怯懦)。
答案:he is more poltroon than cautious.(本题考察比较判断句型“more „ than ”的用法,它的意思是“与其说„不如说„”,more和than后接对称成分)
② 形式二:主语+be +not so much+表语A +as+表语B
例:Judging from his words, we can know that___________________________(他不是生病,而是情绪低落)。
答案:he isn’t so much ill as depressed.(本题考察比较判断句型 not so much „ as, 意思是“不是„而是„”)
③ 形式三:主语+be+ rather表语A+ than+ 表语B
例:He who can recite 500 poems_____________________________(与其说他聪明,不如说他勤奋。)
答案:is rather diligent than clever
(本题考察比较判断句型“rather „ than”的用法,它的意思是“与其说„不如说„”,和rather than后接对称成分)
1.One blind man says that____________________________(与其说大象像别的东西,不如说它像一根长矛。)
2.Scientists believe that_____________________________(与其说海洋分隔了世界,倒不如说海洋连接了各国。)
1.the elephant is more like a spear than anything else 2.Oceans don’t so much divide the world as unite it 4.倍数表示句型
①形式一:主语+be+倍数+that of+被比较对象/as+形容词+as+被比较对象
例:By that time we shall________________(生产的粮食将比2006年增加了3倍)。
答案:produce four times as much grain as we did 2006
(本题考察倍数表达法,倍数表达法要分清是原来的几倍,此题“增加了3倍”即是原来的四倍,另外,as„as中间要用形容词原型。)
