    正确答案：

     译文：在大多数的校园里都有国际俱乐部，成员包括美国学生。在俱乐部里，学生（包括美国学生）通过与来自其他国家的学生的社会交往相互认识并学习。

    本题考核的知识点是：定语从句。

    句子主干是one can find an international club，句首介词短语On most campuses做地点状语，club后接有which和where分别引导的两个定语从句。由于从句较长，采用拆译法单独成句。而且由于两个定语从句共用一个先行词club，因此它需要译两次。

    第三篇

    "Clean your plate!"and"Be a member of the clean-plate club!"Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often,it's accompanied by an appeal:"Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!"Sure,we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately,many people in the US take too many bites.Instead of staying"clean the plate",perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
    According to news reports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer,with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story.Americans traditionally associate quantity with, value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
    Barbara Rolls,a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University,told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.
    Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now,apparently, some customers are calling for this too.The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed.But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions.Seventy percent of those earning at least ￥150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than ￥25,000 want smaller.
    It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy.It's just that,after long hours at lowpaying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck to paycheck,happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.

    What does the survey indicate?
    A:Many poor Americans want large portions.
    B:Twenty percent Americans want smaller portions.
    C:Fifty seven percent Americans earn ￥150,000 per year.
    D:Twenty three percent Americans earn less than ￥25,000 per year.

    答案：A
    解析：
    文章第一段开头就讲了，美国父母会让孩子吃光盘子里的食物，不要浪费。因此只有选项C是正确的。
    第二段告诉我们传统上美国人会把数量同价值联系在一起，也就是说量越大就越划算，因此饭店给顾客的饭菜量大。饭店宁愿让顾客抱怨饭菜给的过多也不愿让他们觉得饭菜过少。因此选项A是正确的。
    文章第三段提到：芭芭拉·罗尔斯教授说20世纪70年代美国饭馆给的饭量开始增加，同时美国人的腰围也粗了。因此选项D是正确的。
    文章第四段对调查的结果进行了详尽的解释，选项B、C、D的数据都不正确，只有选项A的表述是正确的。
    选项C说“他们不想做吃的健康的人”，这一表述是错误的。文章最后一段明确讲了美国工人不是不想做吃得健康的人，他们只是工作强度大，觉得饭菜量少会不划算。因此选项C。

    Call American Their Names

    A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used.Americans have little concern for"rank",especially socially. Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank;it makes them feel uncomfortable.Many Americans even find the terms"Mr.","Mrs."or"Miss" too formal.People of all ages may prefer to be called by their first names."Don't call me Mrs. Smith.Just call me Sally."Using only first names usually indicates friendliness and acceptance. However,if you do not feel comfortable using only first names,it is quite acceptable to be more formal.Just smile and say that after a while you will use first names but you are accustomed to being more when you first meet someone.
    Very often,introductions are made using both first and last names:"Mary Smith,this is John Jones."In this situation you are free to decide whether to call the lady"Mary"or"Miss Smith". Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names,and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead.You have a choice:if you don't want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it impolite if you continue according to your own custom.

    The passage you've just read would most likely be found in a______.
    A:guide-book for tourists
    B:book about American history
    C:notice
    D:short story

    答案：A
    解析：
    第一段讲美国人很少关注“级别”，特别是在社交方面。多数美国人不想因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬。这种特别的尊敬会让他们感到局促不安。比较四个选项，D项的意思最准确、最符合原文。
    第一段原文提到：多数美国人因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬时会感到局促不安。所以选C。 "uncomfortable”在本文中应该理解为“局促不安的”(ill at ease; uneasy）。
    第一段结尾提到：如果只称呼名字你会感到不安，正式一些是完全可以接受的。只要微笑着说过一会儿你会称呼名字，但是第一次见面你习惯于比较正式的称呼：所以与美国人谈话并不一定必须（have to)称呼名字。
    从引文的上下文中可以推断出“Mrs.Smith”是比较正式的称呼，而美国人更喜欢直接称呼名字。所以选择B。
    本文主要介绍美国的社会习俗―社交场合的称呼，与历史无关，不是通知的形式，更不是短篇小说。所以最可能出现在旅游指南上。

    Practice 6　　Most people would be impressed by the high quality of medicine available to most Americans. There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of advanced technical equipment, and intense effort not to make mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they handle things badly.　　But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to public belief, it is not just a free competition system. The private system has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.

    对于大多数人来说,大多数美国人能用到的高品质的药给他们都留下了印象。这里有大量的专业化,大量对个体的关注,大量先进的技术设备,以及为避免犯错而付出的巨大努力,因为如果医生和医院处理不当,他们就必须在法庭上面对财务风险。
    但是美国人处境很困难。问题在于卫生保健的组织和筹资方式。与公众信念相反,它不只是一个自由的竞争体制。这个私有的体制已经加入了大的公有体制,因为私人医护根本不照顾不幸的人和年长的人。
