1、2019年全国英语竞赛A类研究生决赛试题及答案问答题1.Section A (5 marks)Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.No one would deny that we are living in an increasingly commercialized society, where commodities are sold at a certain price, low or high.Happiness, howeve
2、r, is not a commodity.Happiness is at most associated with the materials you have.The association could be both negative and positive and it is we who should decide.Happiness is a state of mind which goes beyond the boundary of material possession.The ability to feel happy, regardless of the amount
3、of possessions that one has, is a divue valuable asset that no money can buy. 参考答案：不可否认的是，我们生活在一个日益商业化的社会。在这个社会里，商品以或高或低的特定价格出售。然而，幸福不是商品。幸福大多与你拥有的物质条件有关。这种联系是消极还是积极，都由我们来决定。幸福是一种超越物质占有的精神状态。无论一个人拥有多少财产，感受幸福的能力才是真正的无价之宝。(1)句式结构：“No one would deny that”中的no one并不是实意主语，可以直接翻译成副词，更符合中文的表达方式。第一句中where引导
4、的定语从句可以后置翻译，避免句子冗长。(2)翻译要点：increasingly日益。a true valuable asset that no money can buy意为“金钱买不到的珍贵资产”，可以用中文四字词语“无价之宝”替代。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 answer sheet.每个人一生中都该有个志向，否则他的精力便会浪费掉
5、。每个青年人都力求成为一个有成就的人物。(77)一个青年人只期望富有或只专心于求得权力与名望是不明智的。(nor; indulge in) 一个青年人希望做个有成就者，结果常常会实现。狄斯拉里(Disraeli)的故事是个例证。狄斯拉里开始过公众生活时渴望成为一个学者及演说家，他在文学方面的成就比演说方面更为成功。起初他作为一个演说家时是完全失败的，(78)不过，他认为有信心克服障碍，遂以不屈不挠的精神致力于这个目标的实现。(commit oneself; in a persevering spirit)他的一些朋友认为他这个念头是愚蠢的，甚至是古怪的，但他坚持目标不舍，最后获得成功，(79)
6、成为英国曾经产生的知识最丰富的学者与最雄辩的演说家之一。(orator; produce)(80)这个故事并不是用来说明：一个人只有当上大学者或演说家，或二者兼而有者才被认为是成功了。(only by引导的倒装句)(81)除了做学者或演说家之外，还有许多同样高尚与可敬的职业。(equally; noble)它只是用来说明一个青年人须志向高远，因为“宁可志髙而达不到目标，也不要志低而达到”。 参考答案：77.It is not wise for a young man to expect only to be rich and nor is to indulge in pursuing powe
7、r and fame.【分析】句子主干是“或是不明智的”，可采用“It is not wise to do sth.nor”句型。nor与否定词连用，表示“也不”。power and fame权力与名望。indulge in是固定搭配，意为“沉湎于，沉溺于”。 78.However, he was confident that he could overcome the obstacle and then committed himself to his goal in a persevering spirit.【分析】overcome the obstacle克服障碍。commit ones
8、elf to (doing) sth.是固定搭配，意为“致力于”。 79.He became one of the ripest scholar and most eloquent orators that Great Britain has ever produced.【分析】orator演说者；演讲者。形容学者知识丰富一般用“ripe”修饰。knowledgeable知识丰富的。eloquent雄辩的。需要注意的是，此处“学者”和“演说家”是他同时具备的两种职业，变复数形式时第一种职业不需要变。 80.This story is not cited to show that only by
9、 being a scholar or an orator, or both can people be viewed as successful.【分析】当“only状语”位于句首时，其后习惯上要用部分倒装。其中，only后的状语可以是副词、介词短语、从句等。 81.Besides being a scholar or an orator, there are still many jobs equally noble and respectable.【分析】equally作副词，修饰noble and respectable，noble and respectable作jobs的后置定语。
10、问答题3.There are five IQ Test questions in this part.Write the answers on the answer sheet.Notice how you can change MICE into CATS in four moves, changing only one letter at a time and always making a complete word:MICEMACEMATEMATSCATSThis is called a ladder graph.Now turn DUST into TANK in four step

12、 like Sandra.Does she like Sarah? 参考答案：No.Suzy讨厌Graham, Anna和Sandra，却喜欢Fred，Ross和Mandy。可见她不喜欢名字里有两个a的人，由此可见她也不会喜欢Sarah。问答题5.Can you spot which of the knights below are identical twins? 参考答案：BF首先可以根据盾牌分类，AD盾牌是一样的，BCEF盾牌一致。而AB两骑士右手铠甲不一致，故排除。C骑士左手铠甲和BEF不同，故排除。E骑士的右肩甲与BF不同，故排除。只有BF是完全相同的，故选BF。问答题6.What
13、have all of these words in common?pondtogasealfindjoanspin 参考答案：The first two letters start the name of a country and the last two letters finish the name: Poland, Tonga, Senegal, Finland, Jordan, Spain.所有单词前两个字母是国家名称的起始字母，最后两个字母是这个国家名称的最后两个字母。问答题7.What number should replace the question mark? 参考答案：
14、4通过观察可知两个椭圆重合部分的数值为两个椭圆里的数字分别做减法，然后相乘得出，即12=（86）（137），16=（73）（95），故？数字为（73）（98）=4。问答题8.Section A (10 marks)The flowchart below shows how banana chips are made.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.Note: Write a report of at least 1

23、去那么努力。首先第一段可以点出科技发展引发争议，再提出自己的观点，科技发展反而使人们更忙，工作更努力了。接着论证自己的观点。指出手机和电子邮件让人难以逃离工作，哪怕度假也要处理工作事项。但同时新科技也让工作变得容易、省时，让人们能真正做到日理万机。最后一段重申自己的观点，进行总结。共享题干题There are 15 incomplete sentences in this part.For each blank there are five choices marked A, B, C, D and E.Choose the one that best completes the senten

34、领导们经常不得不强迫他们停下来，参加一些体育运动和游戏。本题着重考查倒装句的用法。由于so involved放在了句首，句子用倒装形式。因为句子的时态是一般现在时，所以要借助于助动词do来构成倒装。把这句话变成正常语序是：The children become so involved with their cell phones that leaders at summer camps often have to force them to break for sports and games。故正确答案为D。单选题11.My son has an advantage over his mot
