83. Only when I reached my thirties __________________________ (我才意识到读书是不能被忽视的)
解析：did I realize that reading cannot be neglected did I realize that reading is unignorable ignore
【考点解释】本题考查由only when 引起的局部倒装。当only when置于句首，主句用局部倒装，即将助动词置于主语前面。only when引导句子时态为过去时（reached），为保持时态一致，主句助动词用did；注意被动语态的使用，reading与neglect为被动关系。同时也可以使用be+adj的结构。
【原句精释】直到三十岁，我才意识不能忽视读书。
84. Much ___________________ (使研究人员感到惊讶)，the outcome of the experiment was far better than they had expected. 解析：to the researchers’ surprise
【考点解释】本题考查固定搭配 to one’s surprise 使…惊讶的是… 【原句精释】让研究人员大为惊讶的是，实验结果比他们的预计好得多。
85. Oh, my, I can’t find my key; __________________________（我一定是把它放在哪儿了）。
解析：I must have left / put it somewhere.
【考点解释】本题考查对过去事情的肯定的猜测，即must have+过去分词，leave与put都有放置的意思，但leave强调遗忘在…，较之put，leave更贴合题意。 【原句精释】天啊，我找不到钥匙。我一定是把它放在哪儿了。 Must mustn’t step on the grass
Cannot have rained last night, for the ground is dry. Must be Mr Zhang cannot be Mr. Zhang
Had intended/ planned …. To do …
Intended/ planned … to have done …..
Bell is said to have invented the telephone
86．I ________________________(宁愿加入你们去做义工)than go to the beach for a holiday.
解析：would rather join you as a volunteer
【考点解释】考查结构“宁愿…也不愿…”, 因题干中已存在“than go”的结构，只能使用 “would rather do rather than do”。加入… join sb 【原句精释】我宁愿加入你们去做义工，也不愿到海边去度假。

82. ____________________(他们的独生儿子从未想过) to leave them and strike out on his own though he is in his late twenties. 答案：Their only son has never thought来源：考试大
评析：本题所考察的不是一个固定短语，而是一个临时搭配，think to do sth的意思“想到做某事”，尤用于否定句中。请看《纽约时报》的例句：
As a mother, I never thought to ask myself how long I should try to preserve the lie of Santa Claus — as long as possible, I assumed. ( December 20, 2009) 作为一个母亲，我从未想到问一问自己：我该把这个圣诞老人的谎言保持多久--我想，能多久就多久吧。
83. Before you take any action, please remember to _______________（权衡你的决定会产生的后果）.
答案：weigh the consequences of your decision
评析：本题是考察动词weigh的用法，这个单词除了“称量”的意思之外，还有“权衡，斟酌”之意。这里的consequence表示结果，要记得用复数。 84. He assured his friend that under no circumstances _________________（他会违背还钱的承诺）. 07年12月考过
答案：would he break / breach his promise/commitment to pay back / repay the money.
评析：本题考察的是倒装的用法，He assured his friend that后面跟的是一个宾语从句，这个宾语从句的句首有表示否定意义的短语under no circumstance（决不）。所以，这个宾语从句的主谓要倒装。
85. Most educators advise that kids ____________________ （不要沉溺于电脑游戏）. 08年12月考过
答案：(should) not be addicted to computer games. / (should) not indulge (themselves) in computer games
评析：本句的谓语动词是advise，所以宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即从句的谓语用should加动词原形，且should也可以省略。
86. Business major as he is, he has ____________________ （从未考虑过从事推销员的工作）.
答案：never considered working as a salesman / taking a job as a salesman 评析：本题考察的是动词consider的用法，这个动词要求跟名词或动名词做宾语。“做推销员的工作”，可以说work as a salesman或者take a job as a salesman。请看《纽约时报》上的一个例句：
After putting in résumé after résumé, Mr. Mucha finally took a job as a Census worker. ( June 4, 2010 )
在投了一份又一份的个人简历之后，姆查先生终于找到了一份人口普查员的工作。 In spite of = despite + n.
In spite of the bad weather, we still went out. Despite the bad weather,….
N./ Adj./ V + as + 主语+ 谓语 Child as he is , he can do….

2009年6月真题
82. With the oil prices ever rising, she tried to talk ______________（说服他不买车）。
解析：做四六级翻译题的实质是补全句子，所以已给英文题干和中文部分都要仔细分析。说服某人，考生第一反应是persuade sb. into doing sth.,但是题干已给动词talk，所以考察点是talk sb. into doing sth.，考生如果对这个词组不熟悉，可以大胆套用persuade这个词组的格式。
参考答案：him into stopping buying a car.
83. ________________（保持幽默感有助于）reduce stress and promote creative thinking in today's competitive society.
解析：考点有两个，“幽默感”和“有助于”。某方面的“感”，如正义感，责任感，在英语中都用“sense”来表达，即sense of justice, sense of responsibility.“有助于”可用两种
表达方式，be helpful to do sth., 或者help to do sth. 另外注意动词短语做主语，要转化为动名词形式，即keep表达为keeping.

参考答案：someone must be talking about them behind their back. 86. She has decided to go on a diet, but finds ___________________（很难抵制冰淇淋的诱惑） .
解析：本题考察词组“发现某事很难（find it hard/difficult to do sth.）”，以及高频词“抵制（resist）”和“诱惑（temptation）”
