Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (15 points) In less than 30 years’ time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality. Direct links between the brain’s nervous system and a puter will also create full sensory virtual environments, allowing virtual vacations like those in the film Total Recall. 41） There will be television chat shows hosted by robots, and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend. 42） Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips, puters with inbuilt personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools, relaxation will be in front of smell television, and digital age will have arrived. According to BT’s futurologist, Ian Pearson, these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium（ a period of 1,000 years） , when superputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life. 43） Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial ans ing into use between now and 2040. Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in puterhuman links. “By linking directly to our nervous system, puters could pick up what we feel and, hopefully, simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck, ” he says. 44）But that, Pearson points out, is only the start of manmachine integration: “It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.” Through his research, Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However, there are still no forecasts for when fasterthanlight travel will be available, or when human cloning will be perfected, or when time travel will be possible. But he does expect social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will, for example, cause problems in 2022, while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the droids. 45） And home appliances will also bee so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder— kitchen rage.

[A] as to關于，至于 [B] for instance舉例 [C] in particular特別地 [D] such as例如 [答案 ] D [解析 ] 本題考核的知識點是： 邏輯關系 。首先排除 as to 和 in particular。 首段第一句話的結構比較復雜，中心句為 The government is to ban payments to witnesses by newspapers（政府要禁止報界付錢給證人），現(xiàn)在分詞結構 seeking to buy up... Rosemary West 做后置定語，用來修飾 newspapers，意為“試圖收買涉及一些要案證人的報紙”。 2. [A] tightening 收緊，加緊，使?嚴格 [B] intensifying加強，強化 [C] focusing集中 [D] fastening扣緊，扎牢 [答案 ] A [解析 ] 本題考核的知識點是： 習慣搭配 + 動詞詞義辨析 。 intensify 側(cè)重于強調(diào)數(shù)量、活動、情感的增加或增強，不和 control 搭配，如： The press has intensified its scrutiny of the candidate’ s background.（新聞界已加強了對侯選人的背景調(diào)查）；只有 tighten 與 legal control搭配，表示“加強法律控制”。 draft bill 是法律中的一個固定搭配，意為“草案，（提交議會討論的）法案” ；其他三個選項雖然不與 bill 搭配，但都可以表示類似于“初步的，不完整的，簡略的”的含義， sketch的搭配有 sketch map（略圖、示意圖），sketch plan（草擬計劃）； rough的搭配有 a rough drawing（草圖）； preliminary 強調(diào)“初步的”，如： a preliminary examination（初試）。 文章第一句提到“政府要禁 止報界收買一些要案的證人的舉動”，第二段首句緊接著提上海航宇裝飾： 到“為了加強對報界的控制，大法官埃爾溫勛爵將要提出這個法案”。其他三個選項都不符合語義， illogical 強調(diào)不合邏輯，如： Sometimes illogical behaviors may result in a great invention.（有時不合邏輯的做法可能會導致偉大的發(fā)明）； improbable 指可 能性很小，如： It is improbable that she will go.（她不大可能會走）； improper 表示“不得體”，若用在本題中，語氣太弱，如： an act improper to the occasion（不合時宜的行為）。符合這兩個要求的只有選項 A. publicity， give publicity to sth.（宣揚 /公布某事）為常用搭配。 本題需要考生判斷空格處應填入什么連詞來連接這兩個動作：“嚴格限制案件的公開程度”和“審判開始”。 本題考查了動詞與 with 。只有 agreed with合適，意為“埃爾溫勛爵闡明自己贊同委員會今年的報告”。先排除選項 B和 C，因為我們不能說“分享報告”或“遵守報告” 。因此要嚴格控制的應該是案件在審理開始“之前”（ before）就過分公開。 詞匯補充： the penalty for speeding（超速罰款）； enjoy／ win general popularity（受歡迎）； One of the peculiarities of his behavior is that he shouts instead of talking.（他的一種怪癖是說話總愛高聲嚷）。 空格所在 部分是： a bill that will propose ?and will strictly control the amount of _ 5__ that can be given to a case。那么大法官提出法律草案的目的也是反對報界收買證人的做法。 空格所在部分是 that 引導的定語從句 that will propose making payments to witnesses 4 ，修飾先行詞 bill，說明是怎樣一種法案。 3. [A] sketch略圖，草稿，梗概 [B] rough概略的，不完善、未完成的 [C] preliminary 初步的，預備的 [D] draft草稿，草案，草圖 [答案 ] D [解析 ] 本題考核的知識點是： 固定搭配 。首先排除 focus和 fasten， focus意為“把注意力等集中在?”，如： You must try to focus your mind on work and study.（你應該努力把思想集中在工作和學習上）文章第一段只提到政府要禁止付款收買證人的這種做法，并沒有涉及其它方面的情況，也就無所謂“集中法律控制”了。整個句子的含義是：政府要禁止報界付錢給涉及一些要案（諸
