19、到前句，再将后一句happiness lies in the process of pursuing补充进来，作为前句的解释。问答题2.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English by using the hints given in brackets.Remember to write the answer on the answersheet.人类自有文化就有文化交流。(77)人类文化从整体来说是各国、各民族文化会聚、交流的产物。(taken as a whole)现代国际间的文化交流更是以空前的规模

25、 days).(March here has two meanings.)参考解析：April Fools Day即四月一号愚人节，人们在四月一号总是感觉很累，是因为在三月他们“步行”了很长的时间(度过了漫长的三月)。March既有“三月”的意思，也有“步行；前进”的意思，此处为双关。问答题4.Find this humorous saying by Groucho Marx. 参考答案：I made a killing on the stock exchange.I shot my broker.参考解析：make a killing意为“赚大钱”，同时killing也可以理解为“制造了一场
26、凶杀”；结合shot my broker，意为“枪杀了我的股票经纪人”，此处为双关。问答题5.In a secret code based on a 33 grid system each box of the grid contains three letters, as shown in the diagram below.Use these clues to divanslate the following symbols. 参考答案：Go to nine.参考解析：根据第一张图，字母G上面没有点，且所处的边框为“L”形，符合下图第一个图案；字母O上面有两点，所处的边框为四边形，符合下图
27、第二个图案；字母T上面为一点，所处的边框为“L”形转180度，符合下图第三个图案。以此类推，字母是根据上面的点和所处的边框形状判断的，故第二张图代表的由字母组合为“Go to nine”。问答题6.The number in the middle of the star is related to all those to its points.What number should replace the question mark? 参考答案：2 or 4.参考解析：由于问号四周的数字都能被2或4整除，故填2或者4。问答题7.Each of the nine squares in the g

29、析：根据题意，每个数字加字母框里的图案必须是数字框的图案和字母框的图案叠加起来，例如2B的图案就是2号图案与B项图案重叠。据此将剩余的图案一一叠加，可以得出1B的图案不是由1号图案和B项图案重叠而成的，图案中点的位置不正确。故答案为1B。问答题8.Section A (10 marks)The chart below shows the average hours worked per day by married men and women in paid employment.Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the
30、main features, and make comparisons where relevant.You need to write atleast100words on the answersheet. 参考答案：【参考范文】This graph provides a brief summary of the average working hours including paid work and unpaid work at home of men and married women at different age.We can learn that the total numbe

33、，再据表总结，已婚女性的总工作时长要大于已婚男性。然后再比较两个年龄段里，24至44岁的男性家务工作时间略大于45至64岁男性，但是远差于同龄女性。其次再点出24至44岁的女性在外工作和在家做家务的时长相近，而45至64的女性略有差别。最后再总结，男性在外工作的时长远长于在家做家务的时间。问答题9.Section B (20 marks)Write about the following topic:Different people have different personalities.And their destinies are different.Some people hold t
