  1.In this way, I believe that all the people may be able to _______________ (像我一样享受乘坐公车的乐趣).

  2.According to the scientific research , _____________ (听音乐能使我们放松).Is this really true?

  3.According to a recent survey, four million people ______________ (死于与吸烟有关的疾病)each year.

  4.We must _______________(使自己适应)the demands of our times; otherwise we'll fall behind the other industrialized nations of the world.

  5.The number of the students in the city has ___________________ (增加了五倍) in comparison with 2001.

  答案与解析:

  1. enjoy the bus ride like me

  "享受......的乐趣"直接用enjoy翻译即可。"乘坐公交车"在这里相当于一个名词短语,因此应翻译成bus ride而不是take the bus。如果将句子翻译成enjoy taking the bus,意思就与enjoy the bus ride稍有区别。前者强调动态,表示某个动作的进行,后者强调静态,表示某一经常性习惯性做法。

  2. listening to music enables us to feel relaxed

  "听音乐"在句中作主语,应该使用动名词短语作句子的主语。“能使我们放松”很多同学会采用 can make us feel relaxed的结构。其实,enable就有“能够使某人……”的含义,注意enable sb. to do sth.的表达。

  3. die of diseases linked to smoking

  本句意为"由最近调查显示,每年有400万人死于与吸烟有关的疾病"。"死于......"既可以用短语die of也可以用die from,但考生应注意两者用法上的区别。"与......相关"可以选用related to,associated with,linked to。

  4. adapt ourselves to

  我们必须使自己适应这个时代的要求,否则就会落后于世界其他工业国家。主要考查"使......适应" 的用法:adapt to / adapt sb. to,如:adapt themselves to city life(使他们适应城市生活);You should adapt yourself to the new environment.(你应该适应新环境)。adapt 除了有"使适应"含义外,还有"改编,改写"之意。考生也常将adapt 和 adopt相混淆。adopt有"采纳,接受,领养"之意。

  5. increased 6 times

  本题考查关于倍数的说法。"增加了5倍"即增加到6倍。用times与fold表示"增加"时,要注意英语要多说一倍。如Output of coal increased four times(或fourfold).(媒产量增加了3倍)。
