Part B
41.B
解析:从给出的开头段落G,可以看出这是一篇介绍Louis Menand的书The Marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University和他的观点的文章,紧接着下面就应该讲他书中阐释的问题和他的观点,B选项中开头一句提到his concern,暗示提出问题,指出美国大学存在的主要问题。从结构上来看,B选项内容能够合理地与G选项衔接,故41题正确答案为B选项。
42.D
解析:文章的主题是关于“humanities”。上一段提出大学人文学科正走向没落,所以下面就紧接着应该解释出现这种现象的原因,42项答案即D或者E,但因为E在后一项给出,且有连接词Besides可知,42为D。此外,D选项中首句出现的separate一词,与E选项中this separation正好构成关联,故42题应选D选项。
43.A
解析:A选项指出,没有哪门专业化学科像人文学科这样,需要倾注如此多的热情,之后提到获得人文学科的博士学位,需要9年的时间,这一信息可对应E选项中的the acquisition of a doctoral,从结构和内容构成了合理的衔接,所以43题应选择A。
44.C
解析:依据43题的选项A,说人文学科获得博士学位的时间长,需要倾注很大的热情,所以高达一半的英语博士生在获得学位之前辍学就毫不奇怪了。从剩下的选项中,首先排除F,因为F的“conclude”可知F项应为全文的总结。从C的“Equally unsurprisingly,only about half end up with the jobs they entered graduate school to get: tenured professorships。”可知,C是紧接着A,所以44题选C。
45.F
解析:由F选项内容可知,该段进行总结说明,往往也出现在文章末尾,应将F选项放在文章末段,故F选项为45题的答案。
Part C Translation
46.Allen’s contribution was to take an assumption we all share---that because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughts---and reveal its erroneous nature。
【考查分析】本题考点:同位语从句, 定语从句
【答案解析】本句的主干是Allen’s contribution was to take an assumption and reveal its erroneous nature。破折号后面的that引导同位语从句,对前面的assumption解释说明。We all share是定语从句,修饰assumption。
【参考译文】我们每个人都认为:自己不是机器人,因此能够控制自己的思想;爱伦的贡献在于他研究了这一假说,并揭示其错误的本质。
47.While we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone, in reality we are continually faced with a question: “Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that?”
【考查分析】本题考点:状语从句
【答案解析】本句结构特别清晰,主干是While we may be able to sustain …. ,we are faced with a question…。while引导让步状语从句,后面“Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that?”是question 的具体内容。本句采用顺译法。
【参考译文】我们或许只通过意识就能维持这种控制的幻觉,但事实上,我们却总是面临一个问题:我们为什么不能让自己去做这件事情,实现那个目标呢?
48.This seems a justification for neglect of those in need, and a rationalization of exploitation, of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom。
【考查分析】本题考点: 省略、介词短语、复杂表语
【答案解析】本句的主体结构为:This seems a justification and a rationalization。 本句的难点在于运用很多介词短语作后置定语,介词短语套介词短语,使得宾语非常复杂。“for neglect of those in need”修饰“justification”、“of exploration”、“of the superiority”“of the inferiority” 修饰rationalization。而“of those at the top”和“of those at the bottom”又分别修饰superiority和inferiority。
【参考译文】这种说法似乎为忽视需要帮助的人找到了借口,使剥削合理化,令上层人优越,底层人卑微。
49.circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us, and if we feel that we have been “wronged” then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation。
【考查分析】本题考点:并列从句,定语从句。
【答案解析】本句主体结构是:circumstances seem to be designed to…., and if we feel that… then we are unlikely to… “环境好像是为…,而设计,如果我们感受到…,我们就不可能…”; “bring out” 是产生、使…显示出来;“wronged” 是“被冤枉,被委屈”的意思,“be (un)likely to do” (不) 可能做某事;
【参考译文】环境似乎旨在激发我们的最大潜能,如果我们总感觉“上天不公”,那么不太可能会自觉地努力脱离现状。
50.The upside is the possibilities contained in knowing that everything is up to us; where before we were experts in the array of limitations, now we become authorities of what is possible.
【考查分析】本题考点:主系表结构、分词短语的用法、连词where引导的状语从句。
【答案解析】本句主体结构为The upside is the possibilities,译为“正面意义在于可能性”。Contained in knowing that everything is up to us,是过去分词结构作后置定语。分号后面是一个有连词where引导的状语从句。Where 在这里是“在某种情况下(in what situation, to what point)的意思。
【参考译文】积极的一面是,既然万事都取决于我们,那么就有无限可能。以前,我们能够熟练应对种种局限;现在,我们把握着未来的可能。

11年应用文写作考查的是推荐信。推荐信是向收信人推荐某人做某事的信件。
本次的推荐信是推荐给好友一部电影,并说明喜欢这部电影的原因。题目中给出的信息包括:写信的对象(a friend),写信的目的(recommend one of your favorite movies),信的主体内容(reasons for your recommendation)。需要注意的是主体部分至少包括两方面的原因。
文章从布局上可以分为三段展开。第一段,直接点明主题,开门见山地说出写信意图,可以笼统地向朋友推荐你喜欢的电影。第二段则要发挥想象力,从2~3个方面点出你之所以推荐这部电影的原因。在写第二段时,一定要打开思路,可写的素材多种多样,如笼统地说明该电影语言优美,有助于英语学习;同时电影中隐含的文化要素能够丰富我们的日常生活。第三段,再次推荐,并盼望回复。
从语域角度讲,这是一篇给亲密朋友的推荐信,因此用词可较为随和,但语气要真挚,以达到和朋友沟通和交流的作用。
作文的评分要点包括:1)题目所给的信息点的全面性;2)内容组织的条理性和语言的准确性;3)根据交际对象采用的话语方式,如正式、一般、非正式的话语等。这封信是写给朋友的,谈论的是推荐自己喜欢的电影,因此语气较非正式,随和且真挚;4)标点、拼写和书写格式要正确,如果影响交际,产生歧义或令人费解,分数将降低一个档次。

大作文范文:
The terrible scene depicted in the cartoon shows that some people in our life still lack the awareness of environmental protection. The picture illustrates that two tourists are chatting and eating happily on a boat and casually throwing their rubbish into the lake which is full of litter and waste. The drawing sets us thinking too much due to its far-reaching influence。
Nowadays, though the awareness of protecting environment is being accepted by more and more people, we can still see many unpleasant scenes especially in scenic spots. Why does this phenomenon arise? Many factors are accounting for it. First and foremost, to some people, the consciousness of protecting environment is still not so strong. They may not think it is a big deal to throw rubbish everywhere. In addition, the environmental management system isn’t so satisfying. For example, in some places there’re few regulations or the implementation is seldom performed actually。
From what has been discussed above, it is urgent to take some effective and relative measures. In the first place, we should continue to conduct more propaganda in communities and schools so as to let people realize the importance of protecting environment. In the second, more rules should be made and carried out by the government to restrain the conduction of destroying environment. People should work together to create clean and beautiful surroundings。
