9. A. additions  B. sacrifices C. changes D. contributions

10. A. generally B. basically C. usually D. certainly

 

1解析:因mistake A for B (將A誤以為B)是固定搭配。

答案:C。

難易度:難

2.解析:由常識可知,報社應(yīng)是“發(fā)布”消息,故用announce (give information about)。

答案:B。

難易度:難

3.解析:由首句became a millionaire可知。

答案:C。

難易度:難

4.

解析:根據(jù)常識,看到自己本來死卻報道死了這樣的消息,特別是說自己通過kill more people faster來發(fā)財?shù)脑u論,應(yīng)當是“不高興,苦惱(unhappy or annoyed)”,不可能是“興奮的(excited)”“高興的(pleased)”“渴望的(anxious)”。

答案:A。

難易度:難

5.解析:與destruction(毀滅)并列并且上文death原詞復現(xiàn)故選出A。

答案:A。

難易度:難

6.

解析:由后文設(shè)立獎金可知,是為了改變自我形象,要設(shè)法“被別人充滿愛與尊敬地銘記(be remember with love and respect)”。

答案:D。

難易度:難

7.

解析:由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知,是在“遺囑(will)”中作的安排。

答案:C。

難易度:難

8.解析:根據(jù)與名詞the Nobel prizes的搭配,又結(jié)合常識,應(yīng)當是“設(shè)立”諾貝爾獎金。

答案:A。

難易度:難

9.

解析:獎金應(yīng)當是將給那些為世界和平、文學和科學等領(lǐng)域做出過巨大貢獻的人。make contributions to…(對……作出貢獻)是固定搭配。

答案:D。

難易度:難

10.解析:這個題最有爭議了。我認為這句話不可以直譯為:諾貝爾在認識到他的人生的真正意義之前就不得不死去了。這不僅不合情理,也很明顯與作者所設(shè)置的寫作背景不符。語言是非常靈活的,我們不妨來意譯:好在諾貝爾認識到了自己人生的真諦,否則他就是行尸走肉,靈魂早已死去。

而這句話,則是作者對諾貝爾的評語?梢宰x得出來,作者對諾貝爾的晚年還是抱贊賞態(tài)度的。

答案:B

首先, 請閱讀下列的應(yīng)用文

A. Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards are one of the most film honors in Asia. Founded in 1962, golden horses were initially awarded for local excellence. They’ve since been extended to professionals from the mainland and Hong Kong.

B. The establishment of the Academy (and its awards system) has had a major effect and influence upon the film industry, due to the enormous boost a nomination or award (for a film or actor) creates, by giving prestige and bottom- line profits to a studio or performer.

C. In 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his last will and testament in Paris. Among its four closely-written pages, less than one refers to the donation which was destined to link his name with the supreme achievements of the modern world in science and literature and the cause of peace. In the will, Nobel made his lifelong love of literature clear, as one of the prizes was to be awarded to “the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction.”

D. Regarded as China’s Nobel Prize by those in the Chinese scientific circle, the Supreme State Science and Technology Award was established in 1999 to honour scientists who make remarkable contributions to the progress of science and the commercialization of technological findings. The top honour is bestowed on no more than two individuals each year and the prize is presented by the president.

E. The Mao Dun Literature Prize was created due to Mao Dun’s wish that outstanding novels should be encouraged and communist literature should be promoted. It is one of the most honorable literature awards in China.

F. The Fields Medal plays the most importance in the world of mathematics. It is awarded by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) every four years at ICM. It is accompanied by strict conditions. Only those mathematicans below the age of 40 are eligible to receive it. This is because they are meant to encourage future endeavour.
