2019年全国英语竞赛《A类研究生》初赛试题及答案

2019年全国英语竞赛A类研究生初赛试题及答案问答题1.Section A (5 marks)Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Walking is an attention-getter.If your boss says, “Come to my office,” you sense something formal or insdivuctive is about to be related.If, instead, the boss comes up to you and says, “Walk with me,” you might detect an imminent moment of intimacy, revelation, even vulnerability.A walk is an empty thing.We fill it as we go.That squirrel crossing our path, grabbing an acorn (橡子) and scurrying (逃窜) up a nearby divee could not have been planned.You simply encounter it, feel it, perhaps divy to figure out a meaning for it. 参考答案：步行是一件引人注目的事。如果你的老板对你说“到我办公室来”，你会觉得他要说正事或有什么指示。相反，如果老板过来对你说“跟我一起走走”，你也许会察觉到，接下来的时刻会有一种亲切感。他会向你吐露心声，甚至会表现出他脆弱的一面。行走本身是空洞的，我们是在行走的过程中将其充实。松鼠从我们的路上穿过，抓住一颗橡子，飞快窜到旁边的树上，这样的事情是不可能预先计划的。你只是偶遇，或许想给这场偶遇赋予某种含义。参考解析：本篇翻译生词较少，且句式简单。翻译时首先应该注意语境，部分单词应根据语境进行意译，其次应该注意不同词性之间的转化与活用，使译文更加符合中文的表达习惯。第二个句子中formal和instructive应转化为名词，表示“正事”和“指示”。第三句中，revelation本意是指“启示；揭露”，这里应该表示老板向你“吐露心声”。第五句中，that引导主语从句，包含的信息较多，在译为中文时可拆分成两个独立的句子并应注意衔接。问答题2.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English by using the hints given in brackets.Remember to write the answer on the answer sheet.人们以为科学对经济发展和国力增强有更大的贡献。而文科通常让人觉得是奢侈而虚无缥缈的。(77)然而，我认为科研资助不应该只对理科开放，其他领域也应该得到资助。(available)首先，一个健康的社会需要文科和理科的共同努力。(78)科学发明确实会让我们的生活变得简便，但是文科(arts)里的创新作品也会使我们的生活变得更丰富和更充实。(easier)例如，电脑的发明改变了我们沟通的方式，但是通过鼠标来画画这种新型艺术方式也颠覆了传统的“铅笔和画笔”等绘画工具。(79)对文科和理科的投入资助好比对我们生活双引擎投入动力，使我们的生活变得更便利、更有趣。(fuel the twin engines)其次，向理科以外的学科资助，能让我们更加了解自己和世界。(80)科学能改变世界，文科则能让我们认识自我、认识人与世界的关系。(understand ourselves)换而言之，科学研究能创造更多的工具，但是文科的研究能给这些工具带来意义和生命，并诠释这些工具与我们的关系。(81)总之，文科和理科各有所长，都值得我们资助。(their respective merits) 参考答案：77.However, I think research funds should be available not only to science but to other fields as well.【分析】be available to表示“可被利用或得到的”。本句原文有“不仅而且”之意，可运用句式“not only but”。 78.It is true that scientific invention will make our life easier, but the creative works in arts will also make our life richer and fuller.【分析】本句翻译“确实”时，将句子转化为it引导的形式主语从句，避免主语过长。 79.Providing financial support for both arts and science, just like fueling the twin engines of our life, will make it more convenient and interesting.【分析】本题中将“对文科和理科的投入资助”与“对生活双引擎投入动力”作比较，为并列成分，括号中提示的fuel the twin engines为动词短语，所以前面表达对文理科的投资时也应该用动词短语。作比较的部分为整个句子的主语，翻译时注意应使用动词的现在分词形式。 80.Science can change the world, but arts can enable us to understand ourselves and the relationship between man and the world.【分析】原文中逗号前后为两个独立的句子，翻译时应注意添加衔接词“but”。 81.In conclusion, because of their respective merits, both science and arts deserve our financial support.【分析】括号中的提示的“their respective merits”意为“各自的优点”，即原文中的各有所长。问答题3.There are five IQ Test questions in this part.Write the answers on the answer sheet.Which item in the right-hand box could logically appear in the left-hand box? 参考答案：SESAME.参考解析：左边方框里都是食物，右边方框里只有sesame（芝麻）是食物。问答题4.Danielle divavels around Europe.She likes Paris, but not London.She likes Frankfurt but not Bonn.She likes Amsterdam, but not Barcelona.Oh, does she like St Petersburg? 参考答案：Yes.参考解析：London，Bonn，Barcelona中都含有字母O，由此可知她不喜欢带有字母O的城市。St Petersburg中不含有字母O，因此她喜欢这座城市。问答题5.Which two of these butterflies are exactly as pretty as each other? 参考答案：The identical butterflies are B and F.参考解析：题目要求找出图片中完全相同的两只蝴蝶。观察六只蝴蝶可知，蝴蝶的不同主要是翅膀的上半部分和下半部分上的斑点是黑色还是白色。只有蝴蝶B和蝴蝶F都是翅膀的上半部分均为白色斑点，下半部分都有黑色斑点，且位置相同。问答题6.What four-letter word is missing in this list?palmmasttory_ _ _ _anteearnnose 参考答案：yoga参考解析：通过观察该组单词可知，上一个单词的最后一个字母是下一个单词的首字母。由此可推断空缺处单词首字母为y，尾字母为a，满足这个条件的四个字母的单词只有yoga（瑜伽）。问答题7.Which circle should replace the question mark?A.AB.BC.CD.DE.E 参考答案：E参考解析：本题规律为：在三个构成三角形的圆圈中，将三角形上面圆圈里的图形与左下角圆圈里的图形结合，去掉重复的部分，构成右下角圆圈里的图形。问答题8.Section A (10 marks)The chart below shows the percentage of UK adults to have used the Smart phones from 2004 to present.Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.Note: Write a report of at least 100 words on the answer sheet. 参考答案：【参考范文】The above chart reveals the percentage of UK adults to have used the smart phones from 2004 to present.As is shown in the chart, smart phones were not popular in 2004, with no more than 20% of adults using smart phones.Then in 2009, there was a sharp rise in the percentage of smart phone users.The ten years from 2009 to present witnessed a steady growth of the percentage of smart phone users.However, it can be seen from the chart that the percentage of male users was higher than that of female users.We can conclude from the chart that smart phones become more and more popular these years, and are more widely used among men.参考解析：首先，观察图表我们可以发现，英国使用手机的成年人的比例在逐年上升，其中2004年到2009年迅速增长，之后的十年稳定增长。从2004年到2009年，男性使用手机的比例一直略高于女性。写作时应注意总体的变化趋势以及男女用户之间的对比。问答题9.Section B (20 marks)Students nowadays spend more time on cell phone
