by the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it's only because we haven't developed an appropriate in dealing with it.（节选自2007山东卷）

Questions:

76. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails.

________________________________________________________________

[解题思路]题目给出的是一个简单句，结构并不复杂，只是有些词和短语较难理解：existence of annoyance; results from (因 发生)，inability，sort out (分类)，其中烦恼，生气)和inability (不能，无能)为非课标词, 依据构词法知识较容易猜测。该句的意思是“可能存在烦恼是由于不能对e-mail进行分类。原文中的dealing with与sort out意思相似，because与results from含义接近，再考虑到关键词discrimination（识别）。因此答案为：If this is the case, it's only because we haven't developed an appropriate in dealing with it.

[温馨提示]

(1) existence和discrimination均为多数考生相对陌生的课标词。可见打好词汇基础是解答此题的法宝。

(2)必须将找到的句子抄写完整，不可丢掉其中的一部分，更不可用省略号替代。如将上题的答案写为“It's only because we haven't developed an appropriate in dealing with it.”或“…we haven't developed an appropriate in dealing with it.”就不能得满分。

4、翻译句子题

此题考查词汇、句法、语法及习惯表达等，往往是含有重要词汇、重点句式或结构较为复杂的长句、难句。解题时应当先搞清句子结构，找出主谓宾，确定一些修饰或限制关系，然后再结合语境翻译。例如：

Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn t have to be the same length as the original. We all have e-mail pals who read long, chatty e-mail, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. The charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the （节选自2007山东卷）

Questions:

80. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.

______________________________________________________

[解题思路]本句是简单句，为主系表结构：You是主语，系动词are之后的within the bounds of politeness是表语，其中in responding to a marathon e-mail with a brief reply.作状语。翻译此句的关键在于透彻理解within the bounds of politeness，in responding to a marathon e-mail 和with a brief reply。这三个短语分别直译为“在礼貌的约束之内”、“回复马拉松电子邮件”和“用简短的回复”。考虑到汉语的表达习惯，在不违背原意的情况下再进行适当调整润饰即得答案：用简短的话回复冗长的电子邮件完全不失礼节。或：用简短的话回复马拉松式的电子邮件也是礼貌的。

[温馨提示]

(1)尽量采用直译法，这样更忠实于原文。只有在直译不利于表达时才采用意译。意译时也不可随意发挥。

(2) 不一定完全按照英文字面的意思和顺序进行翻译。

(3)译文要通顺完整，无语病。绝不可出现错别字。

5、封闭型问题
