56. It was imperative that students ______ (finish) their papers before July 1st.
解：finish
[解析]本题主要考查虚拟语气的用法。在It is+形容词+that从句中，从句的谓语动词应该用虚拟语气，形式是(should)+动词原形。这些形容词包括: mperative,desirable,necessary,essential,natural,important,advisable等。
57. So far, Irving ____ (live) in New York City for ten years.
解：has been living
[解析]本题主要考查时态“现在完成进行时”，判断的关键是：so far, for ten years，从这两个时间状语就可以判断出该句的谓语动词live 应该用现在完成进行时，一般情况下句子中如果有：so far,up to now, over the past …years, in the last … years,for,since,already等一些词语，那么谓语动词就经常用现在完成时或现在完成进行时。现在完成时和现在完成进行时的区别是：现在完成进行时用来表示从过去某一时间开始一直延续到现在的动作，这个动作可能刚刚结束，或者可能要继续进行下去;而现在完成时不表示动作的延续性。
58. The patient _____ (send) to another hospital before we got there.
解：must be sent
[解析]本题考查过去完成时的被动语态 主句的谓语动词send这个动作发生在从句get这个动作之前，因为从句的谓语动词用了过去时got因此主句的谓语动词是过去的过去，因此要用过去完成时。
59. The __________ (far) away we get from the earth, the thinner the air becomes.
解：farther
[解析]本题考查形容词的比较级的一种句式“the+形容词比较级，the+形容词比较级”表示“越…越….”，另外要注意far的比较级有两种形式一种是farther,一种是further，farther表示“更远”而further表示“进一步”因此本题应该填farther。
60. With apples at 25 cents a pound, we couldn't resist ____ (take) four pounds.
解：taking
[解析]本题主要考查resist后面接动名词作宾语。
61. Coffee delays the body clock in the morning,and _____ (advance) it at night.
解：advances
[解析]本题主要考查时态，因为这个句子有两个谓语，一个是delay, 一个是advance，这两个谓语由and连接，delays是一般现在时，因此advance也应该用一般现在时，所以答案是advances。
62. When ________ (give) the chance, it is quite possible for him to fulfill the task within ten days.
解：given
[解析]本题主要考查过去分词做状语。
63. I'll be only too pleased ______ (help) out those who are in difficulty.
解：to help
[解析]本题主要考查too… to+动词原形 结构
64. Television is another major instrument of communication, ____ (permit) us to see as well as to hear the performer.
解：permitting
[解析]本题主要考查现在分词作状语。
65. It is high time that we _____ (take) firm measures to protect our environment.
解：took
[解析]本题主要考查虚拟语气形式，在It is high time that 从句结构中从句的谓语动词用虚拟语气，形式是过去时，因此用took的形式。
五、汉译英
66. 我工作了一整天，所以你来看我时，我很疲倦。
答：I was very tired when you came to see me because I had worked all day along.
[解析]本题在翻译的时候要注意结构，另外注意“我很疲倦”这个句子是主系表结构，“疲倦”用tired表示，而tired是形容词，很多同学翻译时忽视了这个问题，因此翻成了“I tired”这就把系动词丢掉了。
67. 高薪和福利都不能取悦工人们。
答：High salary/wage and welfare can not make workers happy.
[解析]这道题就是单句，结构比较简单，但是有的同学不知道“福利”用英语怎么表示，因此造成了障碍。
68.我更喜欢住在乡村，因为那里空气污染不太严重。
答：I prefer to live in the countryside in that/because the air is not seriously polluted.
[解析] 这道题主要考查prefer to do sth.(更喜欢…)的用法, 还有in that 或because 引导原因状语从句的用法。
69.每个人都可以培养自己的兴趣。

[解析]这个句子主要考查take to的用法。
70.绝大多数医学上的重大进步都是建立在动物研究基础上的。

六、英译汉
Some animals that cannot see can still tell the difference between light and darkness, while others can react to chemicals, which is something like smelling and tasting. However, there may be a sense that we know nothing about, for otherwise it is very hard to explain how birds, animals and even insects and fish manage to travel long distances without losing their way.
Only man can tell his companions exactly what he wants, for he has the wonderful gift of speech; but many of the larger animals can show that they are hungry or frightened or pleased by making sounds that we have learned to recognize, such as a roar. Even man still uses animal-like sounds when he laughs or sighs.
Some animals can get further than these simple noises. For instance, a bird song is much more elaborate, for it tells other males to keep away, while at the same time inviting a female to come closer. Birds have other calls which warn of danger or help to keep the flock (鸟群) together. Of course, a parrot does not understand what it is saying when it imitates the human voice.
答：一些没有视觉的动物，仍能辨别出光线和黑暗的不同，而其它一些动物能对化学物质做出反应，就如同有味觉和嗅觉一样。然而，一定存在一种我们不知道的感觉。因为如果不是这样的话，就很难解释为什么鸟、动物甚至昆虫和鱼能旅行很长的距离而不迷路。
只有人能确切地告诉他的同伴他想要什么，因为人有奇妙的语言天赋，但是许多大一些的动物能够发出我们已经学会辨别的声音如吼叫来表达它们的饥饿、受惊或高兴。甚至人类在笑或叹息的时候仍然使用像动物的声音。
一些动物能发出比这些简单的声音更复杂的声音，例如，鸟儿的歌声就更复杂精细，因为它能告诉其它雄性鸟离开，同时邀请雌性鸟儿靠近。鸟儿有时发出声音警告危险或使鸟群紧密结合。当然，当鹦鹉模仿人发声的时候并不理解其中的含义。
