及解析
1. 【翻译】私人轿车(的增多)使交通问题比以前更加严重了。
[考点]比较级
【精析】B 在比较状语从句中,比较级常和than搭配使用;bad的比较级形式为worse,且比较级前一般不加the。
2. 【翻译】吃水不忘挖井人。
[考点]词义辨析
【精析】D 选项中的四个词均为指示代词,this和these指较近的人或物,that和those指较远的人或物。this和that指代单数名词或不可数名词,these和those指代复数名词。由定语从句who dug it可知,先行词只能用表示复数意义的指代较远的人的those。
3. 【翻译】尽管很久以来美国以移民著称,但是种族歧视仍然存在。
[考点]词义辨析
【精析】B radical:激进的;racial:种族的;crucial:至关重要的;diplomatic:外交的。根据句意可知,选B。
4. 【翻译】你的作文里似乎有一些错误。
[考点]主谓一致
【精析】D“There+动词+to be+主语+…”是there be结构的变体,能用于这种句型的动词有:seem, appear, begin, come, continue, happen, start等。而且在there be结构中,be动词的单复数形式与紧跟其后的主语相一致,所以由主语some mistakes可知,选项D为正确。
5. 【翻译】想创业的人必须先有一些资金。
[考点]词义辨析
【精析】D currency:通货,货币;income:收入;wealth:财产,财富;capital:资本,资金。根据句意可知,选D。
