11、nd saving money on groceries. That is, they should make a shopping list beforehand, and stick to it.（分数：50.00）_正确答案：(人们经常疑惑为什么他们去超市花了那么多钱，又经常买回一些他们原先没有打算要买的商品。一项最近的调查显示，75%逛杂货店的人至少有过 1次冲动消费。他们或是被商品显眼的摆放所吸引，或是被五颜六色的包装所吸引。对于这些消费者来说，有一种简单的方法既能够帮助他们避免冲动消费又能省钱。那就是，提前列好购物清单，并严格执行。)解析：本篇文章内容贴近现实生活，解释了一下“为什
12、么很多人在超市会花掉很多钱”的疑问，并在最后提出了解决方案。整篇内容基本无难词，文中出现的数字也比较简单。考生需要注意的是一些关键短语的意思不要弄错，如 impulse buying （冲动消费），beforehand （事先），stick to it （坚持下去）。2.Daily exercise makes you feel good.

14、e also helps you to stay at a healthy weight.（分数：50.00）_正确答案：(每天运动会让你感觉很棒。运动有助于思考，而且，信不信由你，它还有助于睡眠，让你更好地放松自己。一旦你开始了有规律的锻炼，你就会发现自己更加健壮了，体育运动的水平也在不断提高。你在运动的时候，做了更多的深呼吸，每次呼吸吸入肺部的氧气都会更多。血液的含氧量也会增加，心脏每次向身体各部分输送的血流量也会增多。同时，你的肌肉和关节也会变的灵活了。此外，锻炼也能帮助你保持健康的体重。)解析：这是一篇以日常生活为主题的段落，讲述了锻炼身体会给人们带来的好处。内容非常贴近生活，考生可根
15、据常识推断段落的内容和大意。所用的词汇和句子都比较常见，难度不大。 段落语义虽容易理解，但考生要切忌 word by word 的直译。比如段落多次出现 feel这个单词，如果全部翻译成“感觉”，就显得呆板，不切文意。考生翻译的时候，要根据语境进行调整。如“it helps you sleep better and feel more relaxed.”中的 feel可淡化，将 relaxed从形容词转译为动词，译为“放松自己”。“you will feel stronger”中的 feel可译为“发现”。另外，“Your heart pumps more oxygen-filled bloo
16、d to all parts of your body with each beat.”这句如果直译的话，会造成句子意群过多，长度过长，不符合汉语的表达习惯，所以要注意切分句子，化长句会小句。本句中暗含着两层意思，一个是血液的含氧量会增加，另一个是，心脏每次向身体各部分输送的血流量会增多。纵观该段落，只要考生在平时多关注生活常识，对此类文章多加练习，一定会得到不错的分数。3.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles

20、 Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.（分数：50.00）_正确答案：(我年轻的时候，有本非常好的杂志全球目录，这是我们那代人的“圣经”之一。杂志的创办人是斯图尔特?布兰德，创办地是在离这里不远的门罗公园，他赋予了这本杂志诗一样的美感。六十年代后期，个人电脑和桌面排版尚未出现，所以这本杂志完全利用打字机、剪刀、偏光镜来完成，有点像平装本的谷歌，却出现在谷歌问世三十五年前。这本杂志充满了

However, most people got accustomed to imitating these ancient paintings, at last, most paintings later on were nothing but copies. These copies are flooded everywhere, as a result,
25、they undermines the elegant of art and encourages the vulgarity. Modern Chinese painting is still caught in a dilemmastruggle to survive the downward vulgarity. Luckily, A Wen and some of his fellow artists are bent on breaking the mold. They want to find their individual identities to create new imageries and new styles of their own and in line with the modern times. Meanwhile, they continue to be inspired by the elegance of the past.)解析：这篇散文讲述了传统的中国话和今天的中国画。语言华丽，话题高端。这样的题出现在高口翻译题中不足为奇。考生在做题的时候需要把握散文中的“神”。找到句子的主干，抓住句子的主要意思，翻译的时候多使用长句，那么翻译应该能够顺利地拿下。
