Answer 1

【答案】

【1】It was that writer’s words that encouraged him to be devoted to writing.

【2】The country is always plunged into wars, which accounts for its extreme poverty.

【3】A newly-graduating young man without practical experience will have difficulty finding a well paid position.

【4】So excited was the young man that he didn’t know how to express his gratitude to those rescue workers for their selfless help.

【解析】

【1】考查強調(diào)句。由漢語句子中的“正是”以及提示詞it可知，這句話考查強調(diào)句，并且強調(diào)的是主語。強調(diào)句的基本句型是：It is/was+被強調(diào)部分+that…。將被強調(diào)的部分放在前面，其它部分置于that之后。根據(jù)句意，這句話應(yīng)用一般過去時。故可翻譯為：It was that writer's words that encouraged him to be devoted to writing.

【2】考查定語從句與動詞短語。有漢語句子中的“這就是”以及這指代的是前邊一個分句可知，這句話可使用非限制性定語從句�！敖忉�、說明某事”可翻譯為“account for”。所以這句話可翻譯為：The country is always plunged into wars, which accounts for its extreme poverty.

【3】考查動詞短語。“很難做……”就是“在做……方面有困難”，可翻譯為have difficulty in doing sth.。所以這句話可翻譯為：A newly-graduating young man without practical experience will have difficulty finding a well-paid position.

【4】考查結(jié)果狀語從句與倒裝句式。“非�！�…以至于……”可使用so…that…句式表達(dá)。這個句式中，so與作表語的形容詞放于句首時， 主句呈現(xiàn)全部倒裝的形式，that后語序不變。所以原句可翻譯為：So excited was the young man that he didn't know how to express his gratitude to those rescue workers for their selfless help.
