第I卷选择题 (共65分)
第一部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项用2B铅笔涂黑。
A
While I was jumping rope, my smartphone took a fall to the floor which created cracks (裂缝) on my screen. However, the music kept playing. 30 minutes later, I could see only one-tenth of my screen while the rest was black. The next morning, I decided not to use it for 24 hours. I felt a sense of calm that day, which led to my not using it for one week. One week ended up becoming 60 days in total without my smartphone.
Here are some advantages I noticed in this challenge.
You’ll become “bored”
Without my phone, I became bored, but my mind went through all kinds of topics, Boredom (无聊) is a perfect way to create new ideas on a business or project. When you are bored, you allow your mind to relax to reach all possibilities.
You’ll be able to reduce your “work” hours
A survey found that adults checked their smartphones 85 times a day, or once every 10 minutes. As I learned in my challenge, by not having my smartphone, I fell into deep work more easily, so I completed my tasks in a shorter time.
You’ll improve your mental health
Without my phone, I avoided reading negative news and comments. While that helped make a big improvement in my mental health, the biggest reason for it was truly communicating with people. It brought me more connections with humans in the real world. I went to more dinners with friends and asked more questions to strangers.
1. Boredom is a good way for the writer ________ .
A. to create new ideas B. to start a business
C. to set up a project D. to relax the body
2. Without the smartphone the writer could finish the work________.
A. more terribly B. more quickly
C. more carelessly D. more comfortably
3. What can improve people’s mental health according to the passage
A. Chatting on the phone. B. Reading negative news.
C. Communicating in the real world. D. Avoiding meeting friends and strangers.

Finally came Wednesday! I walked onto campus feeling nervous even though I had walked these same grounds for two years because my junior high school is next door. Everything looked and felt different now that I was in senior high.
I looked at my schedule. First period — German. Our German teacher was very friendly and I liked her from the beginning. What I didn't like, though, was that I was surrounded by students from other grades, with only five familiar faces.
Then I had to walk all the way across campus and up three flights of stairs to get to my second period — biology. Our teacher's name is peau, and I think that she will teach us a lot this year because she is very to the point. She also has her unique way of saying “be quiet,” she says “alligator.” She explained that she is the king, or should I say queen, of the class because alligators are the “king of the swamps (沼泽).”
My third class was English. After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge, I began to feel good. However, the third period changed everything. Mr.V.,my English teacher, told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but 40 ESSAYS AP-level books Now I was scared. He also talked about how important it was to be focused. Last year was not a very “focused” year for me. While doing homework, I was often talking on the phone, or busy with a conversation on Facebook. I planned on stepping it up this year because I wanted to stay an honor student.
4. What did the author mainly write about in this passage
A. Her new teachers. B. Her plan for the new year.
C. Her first day of senior high. D. Her schedule for Wednesday.
5. What should students do when peau says "alligator"
A. Sit still. B. Stop talking.
C. Listen to the teacher. D. Look at the blackboard.
6. How did the author find her first two classes
A. Unattractive. B. Informative. C. Very tiring. D. Pretty easy.
7. Why did the author feel scared during the third period
A. Because she couldn't focus on her work.
B. Because she found the class demanding.
C. Because she didn't like the teacher.
D. Because she did poorly at school.

The hike to the lost Incan city of Choquequirao is one of the most difficult in Peru. From the town of Cachora which is 161km west of Cusco, it's an 18km walk to Capuliyoc Mountain, then down to Playa Rosalina, where travellers camp for the night. Waking early, travelers then have to cross the Apurímac River and walk uphill to camp close to the ruins. Then, the next morning, it's another 2km walk up to the ruins, 3, 100m above sea level. To get back Well, it's the same way you came.
“I've had people in their 60s and 70s do it,” said Juan Barrios, a guide from the Adventure Life company. “But some people come out thinking that because it's only 28km from the drop off they can do it in a day. Six or seven days for the hike is best.”
It makes sense, then, that Choquequirao draws only about 30 people a day during the high season (June through pare that to the 2, 500 people who arrive each day at the famous Incan city of Machu Picchu.
But for those who make the journey, the rewards (回报) are great: beautiful mountain views at every turn, and the chance to explore the wonderful ruins nearly alone.
Believed to be created around the same time as Machu Picchu, in 1445, Choquequirao is actually larger than better-known Machu Picchu. But very little has been written about Peru's other lost city and researchers are still uncovering new parts of the ruins, leaving life on the mountain relatively untouched.
But officials say that the building of the first cable car (缆车) to Choquequirao will shorten the several-day walk to a 15-minute cable car ride. As a result, the number of travellers that now make the journey each week could turn into 3,000 visitors per day.
Choquequirao is beautiful now because of how untouched it is. Even though the lost city was discovered by Spanish explorer Juan Arias Díaz in 1710, the ruins still make you feel as though you're the first to find them. Will it be the same when more travellers flood in (大量涌入)
8. What does the first paragraph centre on
A. How tall Choquequirao is. B. How to get to Choquequirao easily.
C What great views Choquequirao has. D. How hard the trip to Choquequirao is.
9. In what way is Choquequirao different from Machu Picchu
A. Choquequirao is older. B. Choquequirao is quieter.
C. Choquequirao is smaller. D. Choquequirao is better known.
10. How are the ruins of Choquequirao
A. They're still being dug out. B. They're in a generally poor condition.
C. They're being renewed at the moment. D. They've been researched internationally.
11. What does the author think of Choquequirao in the future
A. It will be more attractive.
B. It will develop at a slow speed.
C. It won't necessarily take a turn for the better.
D. It won't be more popular than Machu Picchu.
D
Computers have become amazingly exact at translating spoken words to text messages and searching a large supply of valuable information for answers to difficult questions. At least, that is, so long as you speak English or other world's main languages. But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy.
American tech giants don't have a long history of making their language technology work well outside the wealthiest markets, a problem that has also made it harder for them to discover dangerous misinformation on their platforms. Google, for instance, upset members of the Yoruba community when its language app mistranslated a nice African god as a devil. Part of the reason is that there's just not enough online data in those languages for the Al systems to effectively learn how to get better at understanding them.
“We are getting to the point where if a machine doesn't understand your language, it will be like it never existed,” said Vukosi Marivate, who has devoted some of his Al research to the southern African languages of Xitsonga and Setswana. “Considering our history, some of the bias (偏见) is intentional. The history of the African continent and in general in colonized (殖民化的) countries, is that when language had to be translated, it was translated in a very narrow way,” Marivate added.
However, Google and Microsoft are among the companies that say they are trying to improve technology for so-called "low-resource" languages that Al systems don't have enough data puter scientists at Meta announced a breakthrough on the path to a "universal translator" that could translate multiple languages at once and work better with lower-resourced languages. Meanwhile, Marivate and other researchers have founded a research project across Africa. Increasingly, people are joining hands to develop a variety of language approaches.
12. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2
A. Yoruba and Igbo are widely spoken in the world.
B. English speakers fail to access online information.
C. The online data of African languages is limited.
D. Computers can translate all text messages exactly.
13. Why does the author mention “Google” in Paragraph 2
A. To make a prediction. B. To draw a comparison.
C. To reach a conclusion. D. To give an example.
14. What is Marivate's attitude towards “American tech giants”
A. Friendly. B. Unconcerned. C. Dissatisfied. D. Proud.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Joint Efforts to Improve AI in African Languages B. Computers Good at Translating Spoken Language
C. US Tech Giants Misunderstand African Languages D. African Researchers Exchange Ideas with Tech Giants

Choquequirao is beautiful now because of how untouched it is. Even though the lost city was discovered by Spanish explorer Juan Arias Díaz in 1710, the ruins still make you feel as though you're the first to find them. Will it be the same when more travellers flood in (大量涌入)
8. What does the first paragraph centre on
A. How tall Choquequirao is. B. How to get to Choquequirao easily.
C. What great views Choquequirao has. D. How hard the trip to Choquequirao is.
9. In what way is Choquequirao different from Machu Picchu
A. Choquequirao is older. B. Choquequirao is quieter.

10. How are the ruins of Choquequirao
A. They're still being dug out. B. They're in a generally poor condition.
C. They're being renewed at the moment. D. They've been researched internationally.
11. What does the author think of Choquequirao in the future
A. It will be more attractive.
B. It will develop at a slow speed.
C. It won't necessarily take a turn for the better.
D. It won't be more popular than Machu Picchu.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是前往失踪的印加城市Choquequirao的徒步旅行受到了很多登山者的欢迎。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第一段，尤其是“The hike to the lost Incan city of Choquequirao is one of the most difficult in Peru.（前往失踪的印加城市Choquequirao的徒步旅行是秘鲁最困难的旅行之一）”可知，第一段的中心是去Choquequirao的旅程有多难，故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It makes sense, then, that Choquequirao draws only about 30 people a day during the high season (June through pare that to the 2, 500 people who arrive each day at the famous Incan city of Machu Picchu.（因此，Choquequirao在旺季(6月到8月)每天只吸引大约30人就说得通了。相比之下，每天有2500人抵达印加著名城市马丘比丘）”可知，Choquequirao不同于马丘比丘，Choquequirao更安静。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“But very little has been written about Peru's other lost city and researchers are still uncovering new parts of the ruins, leaving life on the mountain relatively untouched.（但关于秘鲁另一座失落的城市的报道很少，研究人员仍在发掘废墟的新部分，使山上的生活相对未受影响）”可知，Choquequirao的废墟仍在挖掘中。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Choquequirao is beautiful now because of how untouched it is. Even though the lost city was discovered by Spanish explorer Juan Arias Díaz in 1710, the ruins still make you feel as though you're the first to find them. Will it be the same when more travellers flood in (大量涌入) （Choquequirao现在很美，因为它是如此的原汁原味。尽管这座失落的城市是在1710年由西班牙探险家胡安·阿里亚斯(Juan Arias) Díaz发现的，但它的废墟仍然会让你觉得自己是第一个发现它们的人。当更多的游客涌入时，情况还会一样吗 ）”可推知，Choquequirao在未来不一定会变得更好，故选C。
D
Computers have become amazingly exact at translating spoken words to text messages and searching a large supply of valuable information for answers to difficult questions. At least, that is, so long as you speak English or other world's main languages. But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy.
American tech giants don't have a long history of making their language technology work well outside the wealthiest markets, a problem that has also made it harder for them to discover dangerous misinformation on their platforms. Google, for instance, upset members of the Yoruba community when its language app mistranslated a nice African god as a devil. Part of the reason is that there's just not enough online data in those languages for the Al systems to effectively learn how to get better at understanding them.
“We are getting to the point where if a machine doesn't understand your language, it will be like it never existed,” said Vukosi Marivate, who has devoted some of his Al research to the southern African languages of Xitsonga and Setswana. “Considering our history, some of the bias (偏见) is intentional. The history of the African continent and in general in colonized (殖民化的) countries, is that when language had to be translated, it was translated in a very narrow way,” Marivate added.
However, Google and Microsoft are among the companies that say they are trying to improve technology for so-called "low-resource" languages that Al systems don't have enough data puter scientists at Meta announced a breakthrough on the path to a "universal translator" that could translate multiple languages at once and work better with lower-resourced languages. Meanwhile, Marivate and other researchers have founded a research project across Africa. Increasingly, people are joining hands to develop a variety of language approaches.
12. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2
A. Yoruba and Igbo are widely spoken in the world.
B. English speakers fail to access online information.
C. The online data of African languages is limited.
D. Computers can translate all text messages exactly.
13. Why does the author mention “Google” in Paragraph 2
A. To make a prediction. B. To draw a comparison.
C. To reach a conclusion. D. To give an example.
14. What is Marivate's attitude towards “American tech giants”
A. Friendly. B. Unconcerned. C. Dissatisfied. D. Proud.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Joint Efforts to Improve AI in African Languages B. Computers Good at Translating Spoken Language
C. US Tech Giants Misunderstand African Languages D. African Researchers Exchange Ideas with Tech Giants
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国科技巨头正在共同努力，提高人工智能在非洲语言的能力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy.(但试着用约鲁巴语、伊博语或任何广泛使用的非洲语言与手机通话，你会发现难以获取信息、贸易和全球科技经济带来的其他好处。)”和第二段“Part of the reason is that there's just not enough online data in those languages for the Al systems to effectively learn how to get better at understanding them.(部分原因是，人工智能系统没有足够的在线数据来有效地学习如何更好地理解这些语言。)”可知，非洲语言的在线数据是有限的。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Google, for instance, upset members of the Yoruba community when its language app mistranslated a nice African god as a devil. (例如，谷歌的语言应用程序把一个善良的非洲神误译为魔鬼，这让约鲁巴社区的成员感到不安。)”可推断，作者在第二段提到“谷歌”是给出一个具体的例子。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“"We are getting to the point where if a machine doesn't understand your language, it will be like it never existed," said Vukosi Marivate, who has devoted some of his AI research to the southern African languages of Xitsonga and Setswana. "Considering our history, some of the bias is intentional. The history of the African continent and in general in colonized countries, is that when language had to be translated, it was translated in a very narrow way," Marivate added. (“如果一台机器不懂你的语言，它就会像从未存在过一样，” Vukosi Marivate说。他将自己的一些人工智能研究投入到了非洲南部的希特松加语和塞茨瓦纳语上。“考虑到我们的历史，有些偏见是故意的。非洲大陆和其他殖民地国家的历史表明，当语言必须被翻译时，翻译的方式非常狭隘。”)”可推断，Marivate对“美国科技巨头”的态度是不满意的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But try talking to your phone in Yoruba, Igbo or any number of widely spoken African languages and you'll find difficulty in accessing information, trade and other benefits of the global tech economy.(但试着用约鲁巴语、伊博语或任何广泛使用非洲语言与手机通话，你会发现难以获取信息、贸易和全球科技经济带来的其他好处。)根据最后一段“Increasingly, people are joining hands to develop a variety of language approaches.”（人们越来越多地联合起来开发各种语言方法。）所以“Joint Efforts to Improve Al in African Languages(共同努力提高非洲语言的人工智能)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。

You Are a Better Person Than You Think You Are
Maybe you haven’t achieved goals in a self-appointed time frame. ____16____ But this doesn’t mean you are a bad person or a failure. You could indeed be a wonderful individual. You could actually be a much better person than you believe you are. So, let’s examine the idea that you might be better than you think.
You show kindness
Being polite and kind is the mark of a good person. When you do this, you are treating others like you would want to be treated. ____17____ Even the smallest of things do not go unnoticed and are traits that you have a good heart.
You are a positive person
Keeping an optimistic attitude is also a trait of a good person with a powerful character. It is easy to become negative with all the bad things going on in the world, but there’s another way to look at these things. When you’re actually better than you think, you will have the habit of looking on the bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone. ____18____
____19____
Being wise is not about being intelligent. It’s about learning from life experiences. Why does this make you a better person than you think Wisdom can be passed to others to help them avoid the same mistakes you made. You are a good person if you’ve collected wisdom and love to share lessons with others.
So, go easy on yourself. Appreciate who you are. If there are things you need to change, that’s okay. ____20____ It’s about our attitude and our heart. I bet, if you took the time to read this, you are a better person than you think.
A. You give honest comments.
B. It’s just all about showing optimism.
C. We all have problems and imperfections.
D. You are wise, and you share your wisdom.
E. Maybe you have made many mistakes as well.
F. Respecting others and their space shows adulthood, which is a sign of a truly good person.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。你其实可以成为一个比你认为的更好的人。文章介绍了一些想法让你比想象的更好。
【16题详解】
根据上文提示“Maybe you haven’t achieved goals in a self-appointed time frame.（也许你没有在自己设定的时间框架内实现目标。）”，再根据下文提示“But this doesn’t mean you are a bad person or a failure.（但这并不意味着你是一个坏人或失败者。）”可知，每个人都有不完美的一面，都会犯错。承接上下文，E项“Maybe you have made many mistakes as well.”（也许你也犯了很多错误。）切题。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文提示“Being polite and kind is the mark of a good person. When you do this, you are treating others like you would want to be treated.（礼貌和善良是一个好人的标志。当你这样做的时候，你是在以你希望被对待的方式对待别人。）”再根据下文提示“Even the smallest of things do not go unnoticed and are traits that you have a good heart.（即使是最小的事情也不会被忽视，这是你有一颗善良的心的特征。） ”可知，小事也能展示你的礼貌和善良。承接上下文，G项“This may include opening doors for others or picking up change for people in front of you at the checkout line.”（这可能包括为别人开门，或者在结账时为排在你前面的人拿零钱。）切题。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文提示“When you’re actually better than you think, you will have the habit of looking on the bright side of every situation and seeing the best in everyone.（当你真的比自己想象的更好时，你就会养成习惯，看到每件事光明的一面，看到每个人最好的一面。）”可知，我们要有乐观精神。承接上文，B项“It’s just all about showing optimism.”（这一切都是为了表现出乐观。）切题。故选B。
【19题详解】
该空是小标题。根据下文提示“Being wise is not about being intelligent. It’s about learning from life experiences. Why does this make you a better person than you think Wisdom can be passed to others to help them avoid the same mistakes you made. You are a good person if you’ve collected wisdom and love to share lessons with others.（聪明并不意味着聪明。它是关于从生活经验中学习。为什么这会让你成为一个比你想象的更好的人 智慧可以传递给他人，帮助他们避免你犯过的同样的错误。如果你收集智慧并喜欢与他人分享经验教训，你就是一个好人。）”可知，该段讲述的是要与人分享智慧。由此可知，D项“You are wise, and you share your wisdom.”（你很聪明，你分享你的智慧。）切题。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文提示“Appreciate who you are. If there are things you need to change, that’s okay.（欣赏你自己。如果你有需要改变的地方，没关系。）”可知，你也会犯错误，也不完美。承接上文，C项“We all have problems and imperfections.”（我们都有问题和不完美之处。）切题。故选C。

52. The election was held six months ahead of ________ (日程安排). (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】schedule

53. ________ (营救) the financial system will probably require large outlays. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)

第二节 完成句子 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
根据所给的中文或括号内的提示，完成下面的句子，每空限填一词，并把答案写在答题卷相应的横线上。
56. 这门课程对初学者和高阶学生都适合。
The course ________ ________ ________ both beginners and advanced students.
【答案】 ①. is ②. suitable ③. for
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词短语。根据中文提示可知，表示“对……适合”应用be suitable for，为固定搭配，且由句意可知，这里时态可用一般现在时，主语是单数，be动词使用is。故填①is；②suitable；③for。
57. 全宇宙是由能量构成的。
The whole of universe ________ ________ ________ of energy.
【答案】 ①. is ②. made ③. up
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，句子表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时。此处表示“宇宙是被能量所构成”，故使用一般现在时被动语态。表示“由……组成”用be made up of。故填is made up。
58. 有些人对吸烟上瘾，仅几包香烟就会对他们的肺造成伤害。
Some ________ ________ ________ ________ cigarettes, only several packets of which will hurt their lungs.
【答案】 ①. are ②. addicted ③. to ④. smoking
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词，动词短语和时态。对比中英文可知，缺少“对……上瘾”为固定搭配be addicted to；to是介词，后接名词或动名词；表示“吸烟”为smoke，在句中作介词的宾语，应用动名词的形式。叙述客观事实，为一般现在时，主语为some，表示有些人，结合主谓一致。故填① are ② addicted ③ to ④ smoking。
59. 幸存者目击之处无一不是废墟。
________ survivors looked, there was ________ ________ ruins.
【答案】 ①. Everywhere ②. nothing ③. but
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。对比中英文句子可知，第一空意为“每个地方”，第二空意为“没有任何东西”，“每个地方”是everywhere，位于句首，首字母要大写，因此第一空是Everywhere；“没有任何东西”是nothing，nothing but意为“只有”，故第二、三空填nothing but。故填Everywhere，nothing；but。
60. 他得申请一个许可证，以便可以去找一份工作。
He has to ________ ________ a permit ________ ________ he can find a job.

【详解】考查动词短语和连词。根据中文提示可知，表示“申请”应用动词短语apply for，在本句中为谓语动词，且has to后应用动词原形，表示“以便”应用so that，为连接词，引导目的状语从句。故填①apply；②for；③so；④that。
第三节 翻译句子 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
根据所给中文提示和括号所给单词及词组，翻译下列句子，答案写在答题卷相应横线上。
61. 她建议我选修高级文学，因为我喜欢英语并且比较擅长。(recommend that，宾语从句)(汉译英)
【答案】She recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I am good at it.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词，动词和宾语从句。根据中文可知，“建议”应用动词recommend，且已经发生该动作，故使用一般过去时，即recommended，其后接宾语从句时谓语动词使用should+动词原形，构成虚拟语气；表示“选修”用sign up for；表示“高级文学”应用advanced literature；“擅长英语”应用短语be good at English，宾语从句陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。故翻译为She recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I am good at it.
62. 花太多时间在网上是不健康的，并且会使我们很难集中在学习上。(动词＋it＋形容词／名词＋ (for sb) to do sth) (汉译英)
【答案】Spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it hard for us to focus on study
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、非谓语动词和形式宾语。表示“花太多的时间上网”用spend too much time online，作主语，陈述经常性的动作，应用动名词；表示“不健康的”用 unhealthy，描述客观事实，用一般现在时，be用is；表示“会让你很难集中精力在生活中的其他事情上”用make+ it+ adj.+to do的结构，其中it是形式宾语，动词不定式是真正的宾语，“很难”用hard表示，作宾补；“集中精力”用动词短语focus on表示；“学习”用study表示；所以该部分可以表示为makes it hard to focus on other things in your life。故翻译为Spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it hard for us to focus on study.
63. 作为一个高中生我不得不更努力学习并且习惯去承担更多责任。(汉译英)
【答案】As a high school student, I know I have to study harder and get used to taking on more responsibility.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词，名词和固定短语。分析句子可知，用一般现在时，表示“作为一名高中生”应用as a high student，作状语；主语是I，谓语动词know，宾语是从句“我必须要更加努力地学习，并且要习惯于承担更多的责任”，成分齐全，句意完整，用引导that，可以省略，表示“必须”用have to，后接动词原形；表示“更加努力地学习”用study harder，此处应该使用hard的比较级harder，表示“习惯于”用get used to ，接动名词作宾语，表示“承担更多责任”用take on more responsibility 。故译为As a high school student, I know I have to study harder and get used to taking on more responsibility.
64. 正因为这个原因，西班牙语才是秘鲁的主要官方语言。（强调句型）（汉译英）
【答案】It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态，主谓一致和固定句型。根据句意可知，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，“正因为这个原因”是固定句型It is for this reason that...，“西班牙语”是Spanish，“才是”用be动词，Spanish是不可数名词，因此be动词用is，“主要官方语言”是the main official language，“秘鲁的”是of Peru，因此整句话翻译为“It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru”。故答案为It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.。
65. 住在那里的三分之二的人在地震中死亡或受伤了。(定语从句) (汉译英)
【答案】Two thirds of the people who lived there were dead or injured in the earthquake.
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。这是一个包含定语从句的复合句。主句是“三分之二的人死亡或受伤”，主语为“三分之二的人”，译为Two thirds of the people，“死亡或受伤”译为系表结构were dead or injured，根据句意可知是在叙述过去发生的事情，因而用一般过去时；“住在那的”为定语从句，修饰先行词the people，指人，先行词在从句中作主语，因而用who引导，时态与主句相同，为一般过去时，故译为who lived there；表示“在地震中”为in the earthquake，为介词短语在句中作状语。所以本句可译为Two thirds of the people who lived there were dead or injured in the earthquake。
