The Charm of Daffodils
On April 15, 1802, the poet William Wordsworth and his sister were enjoying a spring walk through the hills when they came across a field of daffodils (水仙花). William decided there was nothing for it but to write a poem, which he published in its final ___31___ in 1815. I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud is, to some people, the most famous ___32___ on the power of nature —
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Long ___33___ as a common field flower, unworthy of serious attention by the artist, poet or gardener, the daffodil enjoyed a revival thanks in part to Wordsworth’s poem. Today, it’s easy to ____34____ the daffodil for we can find it almost everywhere, in gardens or in art.
The daffodil originated in the ancient Mediterranean, where people associated them with the idea of death and life. Its scientific name comes from the story of Narcissus, a handsome youth falling in love with his own image. The gods ___35___ him immortality (永生) as a daffodil to save him from death.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Whenever I ask to go to the movies, my mom’s first response is always “No!” When I want to go dancing, she adds a firm “No! No! No!” for emphasis. She claims she is only trying to protect me from what she calls “bad elements”.
On a sunny day, Mom rejected my request to go to West Indian Day Parade and insisted I accompany her as she worked cleaning a large house. I followed her to a grand dining room, watching her apply lemon-scented polish to the furniture. I imagined my friends dressing up in fancy costumes, enjoying the celebratory time at the parade. I glared at my mother, hoping she could feel the anger I was directing her way.
But as I watched, my emotions began to change. I noticed how tenderly she rubbed her dusting cloth along a large piano in the corner. “Is this like your piano in Guyana, Mom ” I asked. “Yes. This baby grand piano is exactly like the one my Dad bought me when I was your age.” Her sigh was full of longing.
I knew that my mother had been a talented pianist. I vaguely recalled dancing under the piano when she practiced for hours every day. Now she could barely play for our church choir because her fingers were gnarled from so many days spent cleaning other people’s homes.
“Stop!” Mrs. Smithers, the homeowner, yelled, “That’s a very valuable instrument!”
“I am well aware of that.” she said slowly, “I play for my church.”
“But that’s not a church-music piano. We play classical music on that piano.”
I watched as my mother’s eyes narrowed and her face tightened. I felt the same tightening in my chest.
“You don’t know anything about us … or pianos!” I screamed. Immediately I worried I had done something wrong, but I also felt the tightening in my chest loosened.
I waited for my mother to blame me, but instead she glanced my way, smiling proudly. “That’s all I have time for today. My daughter and I are going to the e on, love.”
“But Veronica, you will return next week, right ”
“No!” said my mother, “No! No! No!”
56. The underlined word “gnarled” in paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A. rough and twisted B. clean and swift
C. painful but sensitive D. bent but flexible
57. What do you know about the mother according to the article
A. She regretted being a cleaning woman.
B. She quit her hobby to support the family.
C. She refused the daughter’s request due to the tight budget.
D. She wished her daughter to become a well-respected pianist.
58. How did the writer’s attitude toward her mother change on the day
A. From critical to ashamed. B. From fearful to respectful.
C. From pitiful to understanding. D. From angry to sympathetic.
59. What does the story mainly want to express
A. Don’t look down upon those inferior to you.
B. Reaching out for those in trouble can be rewarding.
C. Understanding others’ experiences helps identify with them.
D. Don’t abandon your idea even if one shows strong disagreement.
(B)
In order to hold weight, a recommendation letter should come from a respected source. You would be a wonderful fit if you worked with the candidate in a supervisory position, say, a manager or boss of some sort, for an employer always wants a professional reference. Occasionally, letters from a colleague, a friend, neighbor, or family member will also do. And what elements should your recommendation letter include to be effective
#1: Explaining Your Qualification
In the first paragraph, you should explain who you are, how you know the candidate and how long you worked with him. In this way, you are showing that you’re much qualified to give an honest assessment. Strong letters give positive descriptions of your qualifications in a concise and powerful way, which creates a professional and trustworthy image of you.
#2: Being Customized to the New Position
While you should speak to the candidate’s accomplishments in his past role, you should also show why he’d make a good fit in the next one. You should explain why he has the desired ability to do the job well, and attach the greatest importance to this, even if the candidate’s making a career change. The candidate should provide you with everything you need to know to customize your letter. By drawing on this information, you can express confidence that the candidate will succeed in the new role. Then when the hiring manager reads your letter, he’ll feel reassured that the candidate would make a good fit.
#3: Using Specific Examples
Finally, your letter should provide specific examples about the candidate. Don’t just list adjectives like, “friendly, intelligent, and hard-working”; instead, present circumstances in which the candidate demonstrated those qualities. Not only will examples point to the value the candidate brought to your organization or company, but they’ll also paint a picture of how he works in day-to-day operations. Using two to three specific examples in your letter will boost its level of persuasiveness.
60. Who are the intended readers of this passage
A. Assessors. B. Employers. C. Candidates. D. Recommenders.
61. According to the passage, a candidate’s ______ is usually the most suitable to write a recommendation letter.
A. powerful friend B. supervisory manager
C. respected neighbor D. trustworthy colleague
62 What should a writer put emphasis on in a recommendation letter
A. Presenting the reader with the candidate’s ability.
B. Exhibiting his knowledge about the new industry.
C. Customizing the letter with eye-catching drawings.
D. Showing the candidate’s intelligence with examples.
(C)
Alain Aspect, a French physicist, who won a long-expected Nobel Physics Prize on Tuesday (October 4, 2022), contributed a lot in proving the theory of quantum entanglement (量子缠绕), a theory — famously raised by Albert Einstein — that when a particle (粒子) is split into two, the properties of the two new particles remain connected, as if by an invisible piece of string, regardless of how far apart they are. It remained a theory until Aspect and his team proved it in a laboratory experiment for the first time in 1981, involving two photons (光子) at a distance of 12 meters.
Quantum strangeness has fascinated Aspect as a physicist. Awarded along with Austrian physicist Anton Zeilinger and John Clauser from the United States, Aspect emphasised the importance of international scientific cooperation. “He is one of those professors in physics. A whole community today works under his leadership,” said Retailleau, a former president of Paris-Saclay University. “Aspect is also a ‘tireless teacher’ who gives impressive lectures”, she added. His former student Olivier Reymond, who is now working on developing a quantum processor, said, “As well as passing his passion for physics on to his students, Aspect is also a food lover who will tell you all about his recipes for the goose liver.”
Alain Aspect is widely recognized for his experimental test of Bell’s inequalities, proposed by the late John Bell in 1964, and the related tests require measurements to be made on photons moving apart in opposite directions to look for connections between some of their physical properties, for instance, their polarizations. Aspect’s major contribution was to propose a feasible experimental scheme to make these measurements by rapidly changing the orientation of polarizers while photons moved through the device, and even more importantly, to implement it successfully in his experiments.
Sheila Rowan, president of the Institute of Physics which publishes Physics World, congratulated the team on their “well-deserved” recognition. “This is an area of physics with ongoing, profound impact, at a fundamental level to help understand the world around us and being explored for use in highly novel technologies for sensing and communication today,” she added.
Indeed, Aspect’s experiments have attracted enormous attention and triggered a string of theoretical and experimental work on quantum entanglement. As a result, new avenues have been explored in quantum computers, which in principle could outperform traditional computers at some tasks. We are generating more data now than ever before, need to analyse that data in more complex ways, and get results out faster. Quantum computing could help us to find new properties in the production of new materials for everyday use and it could also reduce power consumption within the manufacturing process. With quantum computing, research can be moved from the lab onto the computer where multiple imitations can be run while stretching your companies research and development budget further.
63. According to paragraph 2, Aspect is ______ as well as a physicist.
A. a tiresome professor B. an inspiring teacher
C. a cross-cultural food lover D. an empathetic community leader
64. It can be concluded about Aspect’s experiment that ______.
A. few people can comprehend its complicated process
B. interpersonal communication is promoted because of it
C. it was conducted successfully decades before Aspect won the Nobel Prize
D. Sheila Rowan played quite an important role in the publication of the result
65. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Aspect deserves the Prize for theoretical contributions to computing.
B. The team’s findings will bring about changes both in science and daily life.
C. Aspect is working as the president in Paris-Saclay University for the moment.
D. The team’s main contribution is the finding of practical methods in experimenting.
66. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage
A. Fruitful Joint Efforts in Popular Science
B. Alain Aspect — A Theoretical Physicist
C. Nobel Prize — For Experimental Purpose
D. Ground-breaking Achievement in Physics
Section C

Shanghai Regulation to Help Boost AI
Shanghai’s decision to boost the development of the artificial intelligence industry will promote the city’s digital transformation and its efforts to build itself into an international AI highland, experts said in an interview.
The city passed a regulation on boosting AI just months ago, marking the first such effort in China at the provincial level. ___67___
“This regulation emphasizes industry innovation and guidance for future development,” said Yan Rui, director of legal affairs in the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, at a recent media briefing. “___68___ It will also strongly support the digital transformation of Shanghai, and assist creation of an AI highland with global influence.” Yan said.
One highlight of the AI regulation is that the municipal departments concerned could draw up lists of minor violations during the development of the AI industry which would not receive administrative punishment. “___69___ It is the same case with AI. Therefore, it is an international agreement to allow for minor errors during the research and development process,” said Weng Guanxi, a lawyer at a Shanghai-based law firm. The regulation gives a clear definition of AI and the AI industry and encourages innovative activities in the field by people, enterprises and organizations.
___70___ In 2021, the combined output value of AI enterprises above a designated size, or with an annual revenue of 20 million yuan ($16.85 million) or above, reached 305 billion yuan, 2.28 times that of 2018, according to China Securities Journal. The number of talented professionals working in the AI field in Shanghai has soared from 100,000 in 2018 to 230,000 in 2021, said a Xinhua News Agency report.
A. The AI industry worldwide is undergoing orderly transformation.
B. The regulation came into effect on October 1, just as planned.
C. Shanghai’s AI industry scale has expanded dramatically in the past few years.
D. Government and the related division’s responsibilities are all within the framework of established laws and regulations.
E The regulation on AI intends to facilitate various stimulations for the high-quality development of the AI industry.
F. The core of scientific research is that it is a process of constantly making mistakes and distinguishing right from wrong.
IV. Summary Writing
71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Technology has made paying all sorts of bills incredibly easy. The real-time budget apps, which capture our spending and pay our bills automatically, should theoretically give us more control over our money. But why, in real life, do they do the opposite
It helps to think about how we used to pay. My parents describe a process that would involve three separate points of contact whenever they paid for something with a credit card: first, at the cash register, then when a bill came in the mail and finally when they wrote a check to cover it. While each of the checkpoints is technically still there, automation has given us a chance to skip the second and the third. For bills paid automatically through a banking app, even the first checkpoint can be gone. We know that it is happening in the background, but it’s so far out of view that it might as well not be there. How do we get that connection back, without giving up the convenience that technology has brought us
The good news is that though technology has taken away something, it can also give. Much of the battle is simply recognizing what we’ve lost. If we want to be smart about our money and have thorough control over it, we need to bridge that gap between what we spend on and how much we pay. We can start using personal-finance apps to do more than make our lives easier. These apps can send us notifications when each automatic payment is being made and categorize purchases, sending us instant spending reports. Admittedly, those tools require the user to sign up for these services and make conscious efforts to take full advantage of them. In this way, they are arguably better practice than balancing a checkbook on a Saturday morning.

【原文】Penang, which is also known as “Pearl of the Orient” in Malaysia, is a food paradise with long white sandy beaches. Malaysia is also famous for its multi-racial culture and warm-hearted people. If you know more about Penang and Malaysia, you’ll be fascinated. Penang needs little introduction to many visitors to Malaysia, having long been known as one of Southeast Asia’s finest destinations. Penang’s outstanding beaches and typical sights have made it one of the most popular destinations in the region. As fascinating as its beaches are, some of Penang’s deeper mysteries should also be experienced. According to the folk tale, the Snake Temple was inhabited by snakes which crawled out of the jungle on the night of the temple’s completion. The snakes are still there today. Other worthwhile stops are the delightful Penang Bird Park at the romantic peak of Penang Hill. You may see monkeys talking in the trees, sea eagles surveying their prey, and maybe you can also have a glimpse of a Hawksbill turtle heading for the sea. Some hotels organize early morning walking through the forest.
Questions:
1.What would the speaker most probably agree with
2.According to the folk tale, when did the snakes crawl out of the jungle
3.What is the speaker mainly talking about

D. Why painters put much emphasis on creativity.
【答案】14. B 15. C 16. B
【解析】
【原文】What does an artist want to do The job involves creating beauty and dreams. Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand what he wants to teach, and he wants them to learn from him. What painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, is specially interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world or nature and from human bodies in motion and pose; their choices show that these aspects of the world are worth looking at and that they contain beautiful sights. Modern artists might say that they only choose objects that provide an interesting pattern and that there is nothing more in it. Yet they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their objects.

15. Why is it hard to explain what painters are saying

William decided there was nothing for it but to write a poem, which he published in its final ___31___ in 1815.

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

The English botanist John Parkinson introduced the traditional yellow variety from Spain in 1618. Aided by a wet but temperate climate, daffodils quickly spread across lawns and fields, causing its ___39___ origins to be forgotten. By the 19th century they had become ___40___ British — so much that traders planted bucketfuls of bulbs wherever they went.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Whenever I ask to go to the movies, my mom’s first response is always “No!” When I want to go dancing, she adds a firm “No! No! No!” for emphasis. She claims she is only trying to protect me from what she calls “bad elements”.
On a sunny day, Mom rejected my request to go to West Indian Day Parade and insisted I accompany her as she worked cleaning a large house. I followed her to a grand dining room, watching her apply lemon-scented polish to the furniture. I imagined my friends dressing up in fancy costumes, enjoying the celebratory time at the parade. I glared at my mother, hoping she could feel the anger I was directing her way.
But as I watched, my emotions began to change. I noticed how tenderly she rubbed her dusting cloth along a large piano in the corner. “Is this like your piano in Guyana, Mom ” I asked. “Yes. This baby grand piano is exactly like the one my Dad bought me when I was your age.” Her sigh was full of longing.
I knew that my mother had been a talented pianist. I vaguely recalled dancing under the piano when she practiced for hours every day. Now she could barely play for our church choir because her fingers were gnarled from so many days spent cleaning other people’s homes.
“Stop!” Mrs. Smithers, the homeowner, yelled, “That’s a very valuable instrument!”
“I am well aware of that.” she said slowly, “I play for my church.”
“But that’s not a church-music piano. We play classical music on that piano.”
I watched as my mother’s eyes narrowed and her face tightened. I felt the same tightening in my chest.
“You don’t know anything about us … or pianos!” I screamed. Immediately I worried I had done something wrong, but I also felt the tightening in my chest loosened.
I waited for my mother to blame me, but instead she glanced my way, smiling proudly. “That’s all I have time for today. My daughter and I are going to the e on, love.”
“But Veronica, you will return next week, right ”
“No!” said my mother, “No! No! No!”

In order to hold weight, a recommendation letter should come from a respected source. You would be a wonderful fit if you worked with the candidate in a supervisory position, say, a manager or boss of some sort, for an employer always wants a professional reference. Occasionally, letters from a colleague, a friend, neighbor, or family member will also do. And what elements should your recommendation letter include to be effective
#1: Explaining Your Qualification
In the first paragraph, you should explain who you are, how you know the candidate and how long you worked with him. In this way, you are showing that you’re much qualified to give an honest assessment. Strong letters give positive descriptions of your qualifications in a concise and powerful way, which creates a professional and trustworthy image of you.

While you should speak to the candidate’s accomplishments in his past role, you should also show why he’d make a good fit in the next one. You should explain why he has the desired ability to do the job well, and attach the greatest importance to this, even if the candidate’s making a career change. The candidate should provide you with everything you need to know to customize your letter. By drawing on this information, you can express confidence that the candidate will succeed in the new role. Then when the hiring manager reads your letter, he’ll feel reassured that the candidate would make a good fit.
#3: Using Specific Examples
Finally, your letter should provide specific examples about the candidate. Don’t just list adjectives like, “friendly, intelligent, and hard-working”; instead, present circumstances in which the candidate demonstrated those qualities. Not only will examples point to the value the candidate brought to your organization or company, but they’ll also paint a picture of how he works in day-to-day operations. Using two to three specific examples in your letter will boost its level of persuasiveness.

Alain Aspect, a French physicist, who won a long-expected Nobel Physics Prize on Tuesday (October 4, 2022), contributed a lot in proving the theory of quantum entanglement (量子缠绕), a theory — famously raised by Albert Einstein — that when a particle (粒子) is split into two, the properties of the two new particles remain connected, as if by an invisible piece of string, regardless of how far apart they are. It remained a theory until Aspect and his team proved it in a laboratory experiment for the first time in 1981, involving two photons (光子) at a distance of 12 meters.
Quantum strangeness has fascinated Aspect as a physicist. Awarded along with Austrian physicist Anton Zeilinger and John Clauser from the United States, Aspect emphasised the importance of international scientific cooperation. “He is one of those professors in physics. A whole community today works under his leadership,” said Retailleau, a former president of Paris-Saclay University. “Aspect is also a ‘tireless teacher’ who gives impressive lectures”, she added. His former student Olivier Reymond, who is now working on developing a quantum processor, said, “As well as passing his passion for physics on to his students, Aspect is also a food lover who will tell you all about his recipes for the goose liver.”
Alain Aspect is widely recognized for his experimental test of Bell’s inequalities, proposed by the late John Bell in 1964, and the related tests require measurements to be made on photons moving apart in opposite directions to look for connections between some of their physical properties, for instance, their polarizations. Aspect’s major contribution was to propose a feasible experimental scheme to make these measurements by rapidly changing the orientation of polarizers while photons moved through the device, and even more importantly, to implement it successfully in his experiments.
Sheila Rowan, president of the Institute of Physics which publishes Physics World, congratulated the team on their “well-deserved” recognition. “This is an area of physics with ongoing, profound impact, at a fundamental level to help understand the world around us and being explored for use in highly novel technologies for sensing and communication today,” she added.
Indeed, Aspect’s experiments have attracted enormous attention and triggered a string of theoretical and experimental work on quantum entanglement. As a result, new avenues have been explored in quantum computers, which in principle could outperform traditional computers at some tasks. We are generating more data now than ever before, need to analyse that data in more complex ways, and get results out faster. Quantum computing could help us to find new properties in the production of new materials for everyday use and it could also reduce power consumption within the manufacturing process. With quantum computing, research can be moved from the lab onto the computer where multiple imitations can be run while stretching your companies research and development budget further.
63. According to paragraph 2, Aspect is ______ as well as a physicist.
A. a tiresome professor B. an inspiring teacher
C. a cross-cultural food lover D. an empathetic community leader
64. It can be concluded about Aspect’s experiment that ______.
A. few people can comprehend its complicated process
B. interpersonal communication is promoted because of it
C. it was conducted successfully decades before Aspect won the Nobel Prize
D. Sheila Rowan played quite an important role in the publication of the result
65. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Aspect deserves the Prize for theoretical contributions to computing.
B. The team’s findings will bring about changes both in science and daily life.
C. Aspect is working as the president in Paris-Saclay University for the moment.
D. The team’s main contribution is the finding of practical methods in experimenting.
66. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage
A. Fruitful Joint Efforts in Popular Science

IV. Summary Writing
71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
Technology has made paying all sorts of bills incredibly easy. The real-time budget apps, which capture our spending and pay our bills automatically, should theoretically give us more control over our money. But why, in real life, do they do the opposite
It helps to think about how we used to pay. My parents describe a process that would involve three separate points of contact whenever they paid for something with a credit card: first, at the cash register, then when a bill came in the mail and finally when they wrote a check to cover it. While each of the checkpoints is technically still there, automation has given us a chance to skip the second and the third. For bills paid automatically through a banking app, even the first checkpoint can be gone. We know that it is happening in the background, but it’s so far out of view that it might as well not be there. How do we get that connection back, without giving up the convenience that technology has brought us
The good news is that though technology has taken away something, it can also give. Much of the battle is simply recognizing what we’ve lost. If we want to be smart about our money and have thorough control over it, we need to bridge that gap between what we spend on and how much we pay. We can start using personal-finance apps to do more than make our lives easier. These apps can send us notifications when each automatic payment is being made and categorize purchases, sending us instant spending reports. Admittedly, those tools require the user to sign up for these services and make conscious efforts to take full advantage of them. In this way, they are arguably better practice than balancing a checkbook on a Saturday morning.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Technology simplifies the process of paying but robs us of the control over money. We lose track of the connection between the purchases and the money spent because the process is not completely presented. To regain the control, we can turn to personal-finance apps consciously to get instantly notified. (49 words)
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。技术简化了支付过程，但剥夺了我们对金钱的控制。我们失去了购买和花费之间的联系，因为这个过程没有完整地呈现出来。为了重新获得控制权，我们可以有意识地使用个人理财应用程序，以获得即时通知。
【详解】1 要点摘录
①Technology has made paying all sorts of bills incredibly easy. The real-time budget apps, which capture our spending and pay our bills automatically, should theoretically give us more control over our money. But why, in real life, do they do the opposite
②While each of the checkpoints is technically still there, automation has given us a chance to skip the second and the third. For bills paid automatically through a banking app, even the first checkpoint can be gone.
③We can start using personal-finance apps to do more than make our lives easier. These apps can send us notifications when each automatic payment is being made and categorize purchases, sending us instant spending reports.

V. Translation
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
72. 清晨，窗外鸟儿的歌声将她从熟睡中唤醒。(wake)(汉译英)
【答案】In the morning, the birds’ singing / chirping outside the window(s) woke / wakes her (up) from a deep / sound sleep.
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词，动词短语，时态、介词短语。“清晨”表达为in the morning，介词短语作时间状语；“窗外”表达为outside the window(s) ，介词短语修饰主语“鸟儿的歌声”，作定语；“鸟儿的歌声”表达为the birds’ singing或the birds’ chirping，动名词作主语；“熟睡”表达为名词短语a deep sleep或a sound sleep；“将……从……中唤醒”表达为wake sb. (up) from ...。根据中文提示，谓语动词若陈述过去的动作，谓语动词应用一般过去时，故此处应用wake的过去式woke，若该动作为经常发生的动作，则用一般现在时态，主语为“鸟儿的歌声”，为单数，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式wakes。故翻译为：In the morning, the birds’ singing / chirping outside the window(s) woke / wakes her (up) from a deep / sound sleep.
73. 学点经济学常识，这样你就不会对这一社会现象感到云里雾里了。(and) (汉译英)
【答案】Learn some common knowledge in economics, and you won’t be confused about this social phenomenon.
【解析】
【详解】考查“祈使句+and+含有一般将来时陈述句”。表示“学”应用动词learn；表示“一点经济学常识”应用some common knowledge in economics；表示“……，这样你就（不）会……”可以使用“祈使句+and+含有一般将来时的陈述句”这个句型结构，即Learn some common knowledge in economics, and you will/won’t…；表示“对……感到云里雾里”用短语be confused about；表示“这一社会现象”用短语this social phenomenon。故翻译为Learn some common knowledge in economics, and you won’t be confused about this social phenomenon.
74. 虽然我抱怨他碍手碍脚，但他毫不计较，还是心甘情愿地帮我收拾厨房。(notice) (汉译英)
【答案】Though I complained that he was getting in my way, he took no notice and helped me clean (up) the kitchen willingly / was (most / very) willing to help me clean (up) the kitchen.
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句。表示“抱怨”用动词complain；表示“碍手碍脚”用短语get in one’s way；表示“毫不在意”用短语take no notice；表示“心甘情愿”可用willing, 也可用短语be willing to do sth; 分析句意可知，抱怨他碍手碍脚是过去习惯性的动作，本句要用过去式进行时，用though引导让步状语从句，且后面不能用but；故翻译为Though I complained that he was getting in my way, he took no notice and helped me clean (up) the kitchen willingly / was (most / very) willing to help me clean (up) the kitchen.
75. 在和交换生沟通时，务必要真诚，也要考虑他们的文化背景，以免产生误会。(sure) (汉译英)
【答案】When you communicate/When communicating with exchange students, be sure to be sincere and take their cultural background into consideration in case misunderstandings arise/emerge/happen.
【解析】
【详解】考查祈使句和状语从句。句子是描述一般的情况，应用一般现在时，“和……沟通”使用动词短语communicate with，“交换生”译为exchange students，“在和交换生沟通时”用when引导时间状语从句，译为when you communicate with exchange students，也可使用现在进行时when you are communicating with exchange students，状语从句的主语和主句主语一致且从句含有be动词，可将从句的主语和be动词省略，即when communicating with exchange students；“务必要”使用固定短语be sure to do sth，“真诚”使用形容词sincere，“考虑”使用动词短语take...into consideration，“文化背景”译为cultural background，此处使用祈使句，用动词原形开头，即be sure to be sincere and take their cultural background into consideration；“以免”使用in case引导目的状语从句，“误会”使用名词复数misunderstandings，“产生”使用动词arise/emerge/happen，即in case misunderstandings arise/emerge/happen，综上，故翻译为：When you communicate/When communicating with exchange students, be sure to be sincere and take their cultural background into consideration in case misunderstandings arise/emerge/happen.。

Dear chairman,
I’m interested in our school’s plan to ask students to set up their own clubs. Therefore, I am writing to apply for the establishment of a Chinese Kung Fu Club, which is sure to attract many students who are interested in Chinese Kung Fu.
I set up the club with the purpose of serving all the students. The students will benefit a lot from this club. In the first place, the club will organize and arrange a series of activities and courses, which can help students to know, understand and learn Chinese kung Fu. Students can keep fit by performing Kung Fu, during which they can have a chance to appreciate the great charm of Chinese Kung Fu culture. In the second place, out of love for Chinese Kung Fu, students can make more friends, expanding their social circle and improving their social skills. Of course, there will be activities such as the training on how to perform Chinese Kung Fu open and they are free to all new members.
I hope you can approve of my application.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
