56、 part, there are five sentences in Chinese. You should translate them into English. Be sure to write clearly. 81事實上,水污染的危害遠不止這點。82 這個問題不像我們最初想象的那么復雜。83 如果你那時沒有及時離開,我無法想象會發(fā)生什么情況。84他們發(fā)現(xiàn)在下午6點前不可能完成這項工作。85由于我沒有讀過這本書,所以我無法對此做出評論。答案與解析第一部分 閱讀理解第一篇閱讀一、文章大意及結(jié)構(gòu)分析這篇文章主要講了成為作家的艱辛生活。在現(xiàn)當代,許多文學青年酷愛寫作,夢想成為作家。這個工作名

57、利雙收。作者針對這一現(xiàn)象,以自己的親身體驗作為例子,來說明寫作和成為作家的區(qū)別。成為作家就要適應(yīng)孤獨,要經(jīng)歷坎坷失敗,而最后能成功的人也并不多。但作者說,這是他的夢想,他不會放棄,而要堅強的走下去。二、試題詳解1、答案A. 這道題考察考生對文章的整體把握能力。作者在開頭便點明寫作和成為作家是不同的,指出很多年輕人的想法是不成熟的。接下來又以親身經(jīng)歷說明成為作家的艱辛。2、答案D. 一個作家成功的比率是非常小的。在文章的第二段中提到For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never

58、rewarded. 雖然有一些可以得到財富,但上千的作家的努力卻得不到回報。說明作家成功是非常困難的。3、答案B. 作者在從事寫作的第一年懷疑自己是應(yīng)為他沒有看到情況比一開始有所好轉(zhuǎn)。4、答案C. 因為這些人總?cè)杦hat if,說明他們總是猶豫不決,對自己的未來舉棋不定,做不出最終決定。5、答案C. 這道題考察對詞匯的理解。Shadowland是指一種在目標實現(xiàn)前的不確定狀態(tài)。三、文章長難句分析1、I always encourage such people, but I also explain that theres a big difference between being a wr

59、iter and writing. 我總是鼓勵這些人,但我也會解釋一下,寫作和當作家是有很大不同的。 這是一個轉(zhuǎn)折句,用but相連。后面的句子是賓語從句,that后面的內(nèi)容是explain的賓語。2、I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. 我仍然會把希望寄托在這次考驗上,盡管這意味著面對不確定和對失利的害怕。這也是一個轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的句子,用even though連接,even though, 盡管。四、核心詞匯 in mos

60、t cases, 在多數(shù)情況下；dream of, 夢想；free-lance writer, 自由欄目作者；apartment building, 公寓樓；keep doing sth., 堅持做某事五、文章翻譯 許多年輕人跟我說想成為作家。我總是鼓勵這些人,但我也會解釋一下,寫作和當作家是有很大不同的。在多數(shù)情況下,這些年輕人夢想著財富與聲望,而沒有想到在打字機前度過的漫長而又孤獨的時光。你們只是想寫作,我告訴他們,而不是想成為作家。 事實上,寫作是一項孤獨、私密而又報酬很低的工作。雖然有一些可以得到財富,但上千的作家的努力卻得不到回報。當我辭去從事了20年的美國海岸守衛(wèi)隊的工作而成為一名
