But you can always feel it,

And you'll always know it's there, It may come and then go,

But you can know it'll always be back. 友谊如微风 特里·范宁

友谊如和煦的微风, 你握不住它, 闻不到它, 尝不到它,

无法知道它何时光临, 不过你总能感觉到它, 而且总能意识到它的存在, 它可能会来了而又走开, 但你知道它总会回来。

IV Translation. Section A

1. Even in prison, he _____________ (继续从事犯罪活动).(engage in) 【正确答案】 continued to engage in criminal activities 【答案解析】本题着重考查对固定搭配的掌握。“继续”译为continue to ;“从事” 译为engage in ;“犯罪活动”译为criminal activity。答案为continued to engage in

criminal activities。

2. People should read the related regulations before they _________(在开采自然资源之前).(exploit) 【正确答案】 before they exploit natural resources

答案为before they exploit natural resources.

3. You ________(必须申请获准)if you want to take any photographs.(request) 【正确答案】you must request for approval

【答案解析】本题考查if引导的条件状语从句的用法。从句是一般现在时态,

4. She felt rather guilty for she ____________(辜负了父母对她的信任).(betray) 【正确答案】 betrayed the trust of her parents

【答案解析】空格处的词在情态动词would 后面,因此应使用原形lead to,严

重后果译为severe consequences 。答案为lead to severe consequences。 Section B

It's so easy to take good friends for granted. Like a comfortable pair of gloves, old friends wear well. But friendships that suffer from busyness and over-familiarity can't afford to be neglected too long. They need renewal. If you want and need to keep true friendship alive and well, please, consider and think over a list of the most important qualities. Probably it will help you to understand why you and your best friend haven't called up for ages, why you're getting embarrassed while being asked \going to have fun with this weekend ? \your intimate friends from time to time, but if you fail to cultivate these qualities — loyalty, forgiveness, honesty, and dedication — you can't expect to keep true friends.

【参考译文】把好朋友当作是理所当然的是如此容易。老朋友就像一副舒服的手套,戴着最顺手。但是友谊经不起因忙碌或过于顾家而被忽视太久。他们需要重建。如果你想要且需要保持一段真挚的友情长存,请仔细地再三考虑一下有关最重要的品质的列表。也许它会帮助你来理解为什么你和你最好的朋友几年了都没

有打过电话,为什么当你被问到“这周末你打算和谁一起玩?”时,你会感到尴尬。你可能时不时的忽略了你的亲密的朋友,但是如果你没能培养好这些品质——忠诚,宽怒,诚实,以及奉献精神——你将不大可能维持住真正的朋友。
