预测:
奶奶教了一辈子学,到处都有她的学生,后来退休了就在家耕务这块园地,她的话我们是最信的。到了园地,我们松了松地,施了施肥,妹妹种了一溜眉豆,弟弟种了几行葵籽,我将十几枚仙桃核儿埋在篱笆边上,希望长出一片小桃林来。从此,我们天天往园地里跑,心急得像贪嘴的猫儿。10天之后,果然就全发芽了。先是拳拳的一个嫩黄尖儿,接着就分开两个小瓣,肉肉的,像张开的一个小嘴儿。我们高兴地大呼小叫。奶奶就让我们5天测一次苗儿的高度,插根标记棍儿。有趣极了。那苗儿长得生快,标记棍儿竟一连插了几根,一次比一次长出一大截来。(注:只需翻译画线部分)
参考译文
From then on, we ran to the garden every day, anxious like greedy cats. After 10 days, they did indeed sprout. At first, the sprouts were tight tender yellow tips, and then they grew into two small petals, fleshy, like a small open mouth. We yelled happily. Grandma asked us to measure the height of the seedlings once every five days and put a stick into the earth as a marker. It was very interesting. The seedlings grew so fast that several more sticks were added, each being much taller than the previous one.
难点注释
1. 画线部分第一句非常简单,翻译重点是“心急”一词,此处可以翻译为形容词短语作状语,即anxious like greedy cats。本句也可以使用动词短语can’t wait to do sth.表达急切的心情,因此整句话还可以翻译为“From then on, we couldn’t wait to run to the garden every day like greedy cats.”。
2. 画线部分第二句是一个简单句,翻译重点是“果然”一词,最简单的译法是really,还可以译为表示强调意义的indeed,表达对仙桃核儿发芽的惊讶之情;“发芽”还可以译为germinate、come out或burgeon forth等。
3. 画线部分第三句描述了仙桃核儿发芽的过程,翻译起来有一定难度。原句中缺少逻辑主语“树芽”,即“the sprouts”;“拳拳的”“嫩黄”都是形容词,用来修饰“尖儿”,此处“拳拳的”意即“像拳头一样紧紧攒着”,因此,这两个并列形容词可以翻译为tight tender yellow tip;“瓣”译为petal;“肉肉的,像张开的一个小嘴儿”可以分别译为形容词和介词短语作状语,即fleshy, like a small open mouth。
4. 画线部分第四句是一个简单句,翻译起来较简单。“高兴地”有多种译法,除了可以翻译为happily、joyfully、cheerfully以外,还可以翻译为介词短语with delight或with joy。
5. 画线部分第五句是一个简单句,“让我们……”翻译为动词短语ask sb. to do sth.,to后面的动作为并列动词“测”和“插”,用连词and连接。其中“测”译为动词measure。也可以把“5天测一次苗儿的高度”译为目的状语,整句话翻译为“Grandma asked us to put a stick into the earth to mark the height of the seedlings once every five days.”。
6. 画线部分第六句是汉语中的无主句,因此英译时应增译主语“It”,指代上一句中描述的内容。
7. 画线部分第七句比较长,可以将前两个短句合译为含结果状语从句的复合句,将第三个短句处理为伴随状语。根据语义,前两个短句暗含因果关系,因此增译“so…that…”进行连接。第三个短句“一次比一次长出一大截来”的意思是“每次都比上一次长高很多”,因此可以翻译为each being much taller than the previous one。

PART V WRITING (45 MIN)
With the continued growth of online teaching systems and integration of massive open online courses (MOOCS) into higher education, college study will never be the same for both professors and students. The following are opinions from both sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides;
2. give your comment.
Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
University
The University of Washington (UW) in the US isn't shy about the benefits and drawbacks of online education. UW concedes online courses may be more effective for self-directed learners, and students who are not organized and in possession of good time-management skills may struggle. Thus, students should ask themselves whether they are capable of learning independently before signing up for online coursework.
UW also mentions online courses may not be able to accurately replicate the vibrant sense of intellectual community that has been at the heart of higher education for ages. This might lead some to miss out on learning and networking opportunities.
Students
Jasmine Barta of Arizona State University: I take about half my classes online each semester, and I’ll tell you why : Online classes are the secret to a happier, fuller and less stressful college experience. Some students complain about the lack of social interaction and the ease with which they can forget to meet a deadline. But for me these concerns fall flat in the face of the convenience, flexibility and independence online learning offers.
Chang Hanyi of Boston University: In order to squeeze in some extra learning without taking the focus away from my major, I enrolled in a pass/fail online reading and writing workshop. The coursework is actually as demanding as my other regular language classes. But what I have learned so far is beyond my expectations. My professor assigns weekly assignments each Monday, and I am required to do readings, write study blogs and take quizzes regularly. I am also required to respond to comments from my professor and classmates. So, taking online courses doesn't mean zero physical interaction with your instructors. My professor even invited me to face-to-face meetings four times to address article structure in my writing assignments. My professor also uploads video clips to review class content and audio files to clarify some thorny points. Despite the hard work, I still enjoy cyber interaction with my professor and classmates.
Yang Yang of Peking University: With MOOCS, we are no longer confined to a classroom at a certain time slot. Whenever I feel in the mood to study, I take out my laptop or iPad to watch course videos. I am now taking Legal Writing and Research on Coursera, a popular MOOCS platform. Each week, four or six courses videos are released for us students to learn. Apart from the teaching sessions, there are also quizzes to assess whether I have grasped the knowledge well. Quiz scores make up 32 percent of my final score. The great thing about the quizzes is we even have them before each course. This encourages me to finish all the reading and preview the class early. Although MOOCs are improving my learning experiences, this new form of teaching cannot compete with traditional ways of learning in terms of teacher-student interaction. I used to ask questions immediately after class. But with MOOCs, we only have office hours for question and answer sessions. Most of the time, I won't bother to go.

My Views on Online Teaching System or Platforms?
Modern technology has innovated the way teaching and learning can be in people’s life. Online teaching system or platforms is a recent phenomenon and consequently it is controversial. In spite of the fact that both universities and students have embraced this new style of teaching and learning, there are still worries and concerns. Considering both sides, it is clear that online teaching system or platforms can help students achieve higher learning effectiveness despite its drawbacks.
College students now enjoy greater benefits. Firstly, thanks to modern technology, learning online gives students access to a wider range of courses. With Internet access, a wide variety of courses, some of which are published by elite professors of top universities, have become accessible to students from all over the world. The online platform provides a far wider range of courses than that you would find in any school or college. Secondl 内容过长,仅展示头部和尾部部分文字预览,全文请查看图片预览。 该对“冰桶挑战”这一活动真正的关注点。
(3)“结尾段”写法
首先重申观点:“As a matter of fact, after a month in the spotlight, the much-hyped ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is finally starting to show signs of cooling down.”,然后对观点进行升华:“Things in moderation are always reasonable and lasting, and charitable activities are no exceptions.”。
值得注意的是,概述部分不宜太长,也不要大量引用材料中的句子,否则很容易失分。主体评论段是文章的主体部分,写作时应条理清晰,论述有理有据,占文章总长度的三分之二左右。导语和结尾都不宜太长,简要阐明即可。
(4)检查修改(2~3分钟)
最后,对文章中的语法、用词、拼写、标点和大小写等认真检查,甚至还要对文章内容或字数的不足进行补救。这一步骤不但在正式考试中不能忽略,而且在平时的写作训练中也应引起重视。
