　　Test for National Civil Servants

　　In recent years, there are more and more people who have participated in the test for national civil servants. Millions of students choose civil servant as their most ideal occupation after graduation. And among them, the high-educated, like masters and doctors, take quite a large percentage. The craze in civil servant test has attracted widespread attention.

　　The following reasons can account for this kind of craze. Above all, nowadays college students face great employment pressure. Civil servant, as one of the most stable professions in today’s China, becomes their preferable choice. Moreover, in recent years, the welfare and salary of civil servants have been improved greatly, which undoubtedly attracts many people. Besides, the high social position of civil servants is an important factor drawing many people to take part in the civil servant test.

　　In my opinion, this craze in civil servant test will continue in the following years. However, from the long run, it doesn’t do good to the development of the nation. If most high quality talents gather in the government departments, it might lead to a waste of resources. Therefore, both the individuals and the government should have a more objective recognition of the civil servant test craze.

　　71. But it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river--and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers, "Pluff! Pluff!" A hundred and eighty-five kilograms."

　　[参考译文]但当我们先是从注释中得知某诗行讲述了一个土耳其军官和一个保加利亚军官在桥上动手打架并双双掉进河里，而后却发现该行诗中不过只充斥着"扑通，扑通，185公斤重"这类对他们落水时的动静以及对军官们体重的描写时，我们不免感到困惑不安。

　　72. The coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into the male- domiated job market have limited the opportunities of teen-agers who are already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in climbing Janpan's rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs.

　　1. _________________ (如果机器真的能像人一样会思考的话)，there would be no more reason to fear them than to fear men..

　　2. When it is short of water，a plant _______________(一般用蒸发作为降温的手段).

　　3. He has never mixed with them or _____________(同他们坦城交流)，but has demanded and generally received a respect due to his position and superior intelligence.

　　4.Your Math instructor would have been happy ________________(给你一次补考机会的)had you gone and explained that your parents were ill at the time.

　　5. ________________(随着孩子们在经济上独立出来)of the family，the emphasis on family financial security will shift from protection to saving for the retirement years.

　　1. If machines really thought as men do

　　解析：本题意为：如果机器真的能像人一样会思考的话，那么就没有理由害怕它们，如同没有理由害怕人类一样。考查的是虚拟语气的用法。如果所述与现在事实相反，那么虚拟条件句的从句谓语部分用过去时态，主句谓语部分用would/could/might/should+动词原型。如果所述与过去事实相反，则从句谓语用过去完成时态，主句谓语用would/could/might/should+动词现在完成时态。如果所述与将来事实相反，则从句谓语用 should/were to+动词原型，主句谓语用would/could/should/might+动词原型。本题属第一种。

　　2. normally uses evaporation as a means of cooling

　　解析：本题主要考查考生的词汇量。“蒸发”和“降温”可以分别用evaporation，cooling。cool本来是形容词“凉爽的，酷的，好的”，作为动词可以表示降温。本句可译为：在缺乏水分时，植物一般用蒸发作为降温的手段。

　　3. spoken to them on equal terms

　　解析：本题在理解上有一定难度，首先要看懂全句意思：他从来没有同它们亲密来往，或是同它们坦诚交流，但由于他的地位和高人一筹的聪明才智，他要求、也通常赢得了他们的尊敬。“同他们坦诚交流”的“坦诚”英语里没有一个对应词，只有用短语来表示。on equal terms是一个习惯用语，表示“平等相处”。另外，句子需填入部分还要注意前后时态一致。前半句用的是He has never…而…or…暗示前后是并列结构，所以“交流”也应用完成时态。

　　4. to give you a make-up examination

　　解析：要看出本题是一个虚拟语气句，had you gone and explained…是由于省略了标记词if而部分倒装。“补考”在英文里有固定搭配make-up examination。make up表示弥补、整理、和解、不足等。make-up暗含“补救”的意思。而这句话没有必要译成to give you a chance of make-up examination，因为这样在语义上就犯了重复的错误。这句话完整的意思是：如果你去向他解释你父母那时生病了，你的数学老师会乐于给你一次补考机会的。

　　5. As the children become financially independent

　　解析：本题考查的是“随着……”状语从句，英语可以用as引导。另一个考点是汉语动词词性向英语形容词词性的转换。全句意为：随着孩子们在经济上从家庭中独立出来，家庭经济保障的重心将从保护转移到为退休后的生活储蓄。
