Answer 1

1.Don't spend time beating on a wall,_____ to change it into a door.
A.hope B.hoping C.hoped D.to hope
答案选B,如何翻译这句话?
答：Spend time beating on a wall,hoping to change it into a door.的否定祈使句.说的是,有的人也时间花在不停地拍打一堵墙上,希望这样能将它变成一扇门.当然这是不可能的,是在浪费时间.
这一题最大的干扰项是D.不定式作目的状语不行吗?如果用不定式作目的状语,则
1.置后不用逗号.
2.　去掉hope,直接说　to change it ...
我们说：为了改变而做某事,不说：为了希望去改变而做,
但可以说：在做的同时,心里想着,希望着要将墙壁变成门.
理解这个,需要一定的逻辑思维能力.不多说了,记住,这种情况,用hoping ...,不用to hope...
2.Always remember to get every bit of criticism _______ between two thick layers of praise.
A.sandwiching B.being sandwiched C.having been sandwiched D.sandwiched
答案选D,如何翻译理解这句话?
译：你要永远记得去听取夹在表扬中间的每一个微小的批评.
析：这里的sandwich由名词变成及物动词.批评是夹在两个表扬中间的.被动关系,排除A.C不作后置定语,排除.B表示正夹在.不如D.
----Do you bring the picture?
----Yes,I　____　it for a whole morning.
A.looked for B.have looked for C.have been looking for D.had looked for
答:A
译：-- 你带那画来吗?
--是的.我找了它整一个上午!
评：第一句用现在完成时问比较好：
--Have you brought the picture?你带来那幅画了吗?
--Yes.　.
其次,Yes后用句号　=Yes,I have.后面的是补充信息.可以用一般过去时表示曾经发生过的事情
如用B,现在完成时,则表示到现在为止　“我已经找了一个上午了”（有没有找到还不知道.与yes不符）,排除B
如用C,现在完进行时,我一个上午都在找,现在还正找着呢!（与Yes不符）排除C
如用D,过去完成时,表示在过去某个时间之前,已经找了一个上午.对话中没有这个参照时间.
排除D.
