2003年全国中学生英语能力竞赛(NEPCS)初赛高二组试题解析⑨

　　B)根据提示,将下列句子译成英语。

　　76. 爸爸说他小时候几乎买不起想要的衣服。(afford)

　　77. 明天我们是否参加这个会议仍是个问题。(remain)

　　78. 史密斯先生写了一些短篇小说,可他的诗歌更为有名。(be known for)

　　79. 这就是我们做实验所需要的一切东西。(定语从句)

　　80. 我不明白她说起那事时指的是谁。(refer)

　　解题关键:明确括号内的内容既是造句提示,又是造句限制,不能回避而造成意外失分。认真思考造句提示在该句中的使用特点,分析各句动作或状态存在时间以确定所需时态,注意主谓语一致、句子语序等语法问题。

　　参考答案及注意点:

　　76. Father said that he could hardly afford to buy the clothes he wanted when he was a child.

　　注意点:叙述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时。afford常用于短语can/can't afford to do sth.。

　　77. Whether we'll go to attend the meeting tomorrow remains a question.

　　注意点:这里从句作主语,谓语动词应用单数。

　　78. Mr. Smith has written some short stories, but he is better known for his poems.

　　注意点:前半句表相对于现在已做某事,应用现在完成时。

　　79. This is all (that) we need for the experiment.

　　注意点: "一切东西"应译成all,在句中作先行词.

　　80. I didn't (don't) know who(m) she was referring to when she said that.

　　注意点:宾语从句应用陈述语序。

　　V. 短文改错(Error correction) (共15小题,计15分)

　　此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

　　对标有题号的每一行作出判断:如无错误,在该行右边横线上画一个勾(√);如有错误(每行只有一个错误),则按下列情况改正:

　　该行多一个词:把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉,在该行右边横线上写出该词,并也用斜线划掉。

　　该行缺一个词:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。

　　该行错一个词:在错的词下划一横线,在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。

　　注意:原行没有错的不要改。

　　参考答案及解析:

　　81. 去掉motorbikes前的the。motorbikes虽为可数名词复数,但因属第一次出现,不表特指,不用定冠词修饰。

　　82. 去掉himself.该句引号内的直接引语就是remembers的内容,无须再用himself作宾语。

　　83. father后应加to。beg sb. to do sth. 恳求某人做某事。

　　84. 去掉第二个was。used to do sth. 过去常常。

　　85. 去掉to。home为副词,前面无须用介词。

　　86. then改为until或before.这里指骑车至天黑。

　　87. ride改为rode.根据上下文,应用过去时。

　　88. 正确。

　　89. kilometre应改为kilometres.90应修饰复数名词。

　　90. what后加he.析语境可知,asked him后面的宾语从句缺少主语。

　　91. 去掉of。a bit应直接修饰形容词。

　　92. 正确。

　　93. a改为an。agreement以元音开头,应用an而不用a修饰。

　　94. 去掉第一个would.此句为条件状语从句,根据主句谓语动词形式,从句谓语动词应用passed。

　　95. 去掉both.分析语境及句子结构可知,both为多余词。
