第40题，
1. 题干分析：
The author thinks that the influence of hard times on society is____。
该题是作者观点题。该题可翻译为：作者认为艰难的时光对于社会的影响是______。
作者观点态度题可以从全文来解决，也可以找到相关的定位点来解决，故不做过多分析。
2.研读解题：
第30题，在文章中不好确定，但全文前四个段落都已出题，唯独最后一个段落没有出题，根据出题区域不重复的原则(相见同上)，所以研读选项后，将重点研读最后一个段落。
[A]certain
A选项解读：确定的。
[B]positive
B选项解读：积极地。
[C]trivial
C选项解读：琐碎的。
[D]destructive
D选项解读：毁灭的。
C选项与D选项，属于负面选项，纵观全文，内容较为可观且积极，所以负面的选项，应该排除，其实这也好理解，就是如果真的是全负面的影响，美国人民可能就失去活下去的勇气了……
而，很多同学会被B选项，积极地，所迷惑，原因是文中提及了很多好一点的内容，但是，在文章中的最后一段有原文：We will have to wait and see exactly how these hard times will reshape our social fabric. But they certainly will reshape it, and all the more so the longer they extend。
所以，答案为A选项，确定的。即作者认为是有影响的，但是影响的最终结果，仍需等待。

41. Petrarch出现在文章第二段第二行“In 1337, Petrarch began work on his rambling writing De Viris Illustribus - On Famous Men, highlighting the virtus (or virtue) of classical heroes。”根据此句的提示，Petrarch强调英雄美德。正确答案为A。
42.该题可定位于文章第二段第五行“This was the biographical tradition which Niccolo Machiavelli turned on its head.In The Prince, the championed cunning, ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and justice, as the skills of successful leaders。”由此可知Niccolo Machiavelli的态度是反对美德作为成功人士的必要成分。根据此句的提示，正确答案为F。
43. 该题可定位于文章第三段第三行“By contrast, the Victorian author Samual Smiles wrote Self-Help as a catalogue of the worthy lives of engineers , industrialists and explores 。”Samual Smiles 描写了工程师们、企业家们和探险家们有价值的生活。根据此句的提示，正确答案为G。
44. Thomas Carlyle出现在文章第四段第二行“These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate, but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere morals。”由此得知Thomas Carlyle的观点在于划时代的人物的生活很难模仿。因此，正确答案为C。
45.Marx and Engels主张Communist Manifesto共产党宣言，可定位于第五段第二行，“And history should be the story of the masses and their record of struggle。”历史应该是人民大众的故事，他们斗争的记录。因此，正确答案为E。
Part C
今年英语(二)的翻译部分与前两年一样，都是一篇小短文，由两段组成。从语法方面，较长的句式结构考到四个，并且难度角度讲，比前两年略微偏难一点，其中考到了三个定语从句，非谓语动词做定语和伴随状语，虚拟语气等。而词汇方面，考到了“硅谷”、“人才流失”等专有名词。
【参考译文】
当发展中国家的人们提起对移民的担忧，他们通常是在担心本国最优秀、最聪明的人前往发达国家的“硅谷”、医院和大学之后本国的前景。英国、加拿大和澳大利亚这样的国家给予了大学毕业生优先的移民政策，试图吸引的就是这些优秀的劳动者。
大量调查表明，发展中国家中受过良好教育的人们更倾向于移民。2004年，一项对印度家庭的大规模调查显示，接近40%的印度移民接受过高中以上的教育，而年龄在25岁以上的印度人当中受过高中以上教育的人只有3.3%。“人才流失”一直困扰着落后国家的政策制定者。他们担心这种状况会损害本国的经济发展，使其失去急需的技术人才，而这些人本应当留在国内教书、行医，并创造出新的先进产品让本国的工厂生产制造。
These are the kind of workers that countries like Britain, Canada and Australia try to attract by using immigration rules that privilege college graduates。
【解析】本句主干为These are the kind of workers，主语these指代的是第一句中前往发达国家的本国人才。后为that引导的定语从句，修饰workers，从句的主语为countries，其后like Britain, Canada and Australia，为介词短语做后置定语，从句谓语部分为try to attract，后跟介词短语做方式状语，其中又套that引导的定义从句，修饰immigration rules。
They fear that it hurts their economies, depriving them of much-needed skilled workers who could have taught at their universities, worked in their hospitals and come up with clever new products for their factories to make。
【解析】本句that引导的宾语从句当中，考查到了现在分词做伴随状语，其中又套了who引导的定语从句，定语从句中动词为虚拟语气。代词it指代上句中的brain drain，意为“人才流失”。

【详解】：自2010年开考以来，连续2年考察书信类别应用文(感谢信和祝贺信)之后，今年再一次考察书信应用文——产品投诉信，可见书信应用文也是英语二写作部分考察的重点。投诉产品电子词典，也符合大学生的知识范畴。关于解题思路，我们可以遵循如下原则：一：要明确表达自己目的是投诉某个产品，要提供相关购买信息。二：要介绍投诉依据，也就是产品瑕疵究竟是什么。四：要提出自己希望的解决方案，并期望尽快解决。
【范文】：
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the electronic dictionary that I bought from your on-line store last week, with the invoice number of ED53407.
I have to complain about the poor quality of the dictionary. For one thing, the dictionary often automatically turns off at the very moment I am eager to see the word explanations. For another, it seems loose in the conjunction part. The screen part can not be properly settled.
Since the problems are unaccepted to me, I would like to get a refund or a new one. Looking forward to your prompt reply。
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Wei
Part B
【详解】： 本次考察重点依然图表作文——表格。主要内容涉及某公司内部不同年龄段员工工作满意度的调查。解题思路还是对表格进行描述，找出背后所隐藏的现象，从而对原因进行分析，最后再得出自己的结论。表格内部数据传达给我们的信息，50岁以下员工对工作不满的比例较大，尤其是40-50岁段的员工，一个表示满意的都没有。而50岁以上的员工，表示不满的人却很少，只占十分之一。最后得出结论50岁以上的员工比50岁以下的人更容易对工作状态感到满意。
【范文】：
The table above revealed an overall picture of employment satisfaction. Based upon the data of the table, most people under 40 are unclear or dissatisfied with their job, and 64% of those between 40 to 50, are not satisfied and no one feel satisfied at all. For people over 50, the degree of satisfaction largely exceeds the other groups, amounting to 40%.
Such difference may be rooted in the following reasons. First, middle-aged people face more pressure to support the family, both the children and the senior, so that they neglect to enjoy in work. Second, the senior citizens has developed a lot in personality, so they are more prone to see the optimistic aspects of the work. Last, the conclusion that the current society patterns pose more challenges to the middle aged group under 50.
To sum up, the senior citizens enjoys more content than the young and middle-aged people under 50.
