 ============================
 专家点评及参考答案：
 这次考的翻译部分，难度比上几次略有加大，表现在要翻译的部分在中文表达上本身就长一些，而且所要翻译成的英语中运用的句型也要难一些，具体点评如下：
 87. Owing to (或 thanks to) a series of new inventions (多亏了一系列的新发明），doctors
 can treat this disease successfully.
 此句翻译的关键是“多亏了”这个短语，翻译成thanks to 或owing to 要比 because of 或due to 好得多。
 88.In my sixties, one change I notice is that I am apt to 或 inclined to be more easily tired than before(我比以前更容易累了)。
 此句中翻译比较结构不是难点，大家应该都能翻，但是如果把这句简单翻译成 I feel more easily tired
得分应该不会太高。
 89. I am going to pursue this course, no matter whatever sacrifices
 I will make (无论我要作出什么样的牺牲）.
 此句的难点在于“无论”的翻译，no matter whatever 是重点。
 90. I would prefer shopping online to shopping in a department store because the latter is more convenient and time-saving (它更加方便和省时）.
 注意开始的“它”如果简单翻译成“it”会有指代不清的嫌疑，而改用the former（前者）会更好一些。另外要注意convenient一词的拼写！
 91.Many Americans live on credit, and their quality of life is weighed upon how much they can borrow (是用他们能够借道多少来衡量的）, not how much they can earn.
 此句翻译时一定要注意和后面how much they can earn 的呼应。

 作文：

 各学校开了各种各样的选修课
 学生选课有不同的原因
 就我而言

 What Electives To Choose

 With the reform of Chinese higher education, more and more colleges
 and universities put emphasis on nurturing students’ abilities. As a
 result, elective courses are available not only for excellent
 academic performers but also for students about the average level.

 Certainly, students have different reasons to choose their own
 electives. For some, practical skills are the essence of college
 education, and therefore, courses on computer science, marketing,
 and finance are highly preferred. On the other hand, others may hold the idea of

liberal
 education and electives concerning literature, history, and
 philosophy are the most welcome.

 Take me as an example: being a disciple of free education, I stand
 for the notion that university is not a place for survival skills,
 but a palace of knowledge and critical reasoning. Although my major
 is chemistry, the electives I attend most frequently are English
 literature, an Introduction to Classic Music, and Different Schools
 of Western Painting. They really widen my horizon.
