整体而言,本次的翻译难度中等,主要侧重各种固定短语和搭配的考查,体现语言的实用性。另外涉及的语法考点如动名词、虚拟语气都是课堂的重点,没有偏怪,因此同学们应该都很熟悉。

(很难跟上班里的同学)in math and English.
difficulty (in) catching up with his classmates
【答案解析】本句中重点考查的语法点是动名词在固定结构里的用法,即have difficulty (in) doing。另外还考察了catch up with sb. ,表示“赶上,跟上某人(由指功课、进度)这一词组。在组句的时候注意,“班上的同学”要么说成"his classmates",要么译成"other students in his class",此处的other不可少。

88. If she had returned an hour earlier, Mary
(就不会被大雨淋了).
would not have been caught in the heavy rain
【答案解析】本句考查的是一个典型的过去时态的虚拟。从句使用的是过去完成时had returned,因此主句也必须是情态助动词加上完成时。另外“被雨淋到”要使用"be caught in the rain"这一说法,不宜直译。
【全句译文】如果玛丽早回来一个小时,她就不会被打雨淋了。
89. It is said that those who are stressed or working overtime are
(更有可能增加体重).
more likely to gain /put on weight

【全句译文】据说那些经常在压力下工作或时常加班的人更有可能增加体重。

【全句译文】很多人所没意识到西蒙是个体育爱好者,特别喜欢足球。
91.The study shows that the poor functioning of the human body is
(与缺乏锻炼密切相关).
