　　答案與解析:

　　1. not so much a scholar

　　本句意為：與其說他是個(gè)學(xué)者不如說是個(gè)作家?？疾榈氖?quot;與其......倒不如......"的句型。句中所給部分已有as，所以最好用not so much...as...。如：In many cases，nursing is not so much a job as a way of life.(在許多情況下，護(hù)理與其說是是一件工作倒不如說是一種生活方式。)

　　2. to make their own choices

　　考查目的狀語"以便"的英文表達(dá)，正確答案可以是：in order to/to/so as to+動(dòng)詞，也可以用in order/so+that從句。具體要根據(jù)字?jǐn)?shù)要求定。

　　3. make up their minds

　　本句意為：許多大一新生打定主意要在本科畢業(yè)后繼續(xù)爭(zhēng)取碩士學(xué)位。"打定主意、決定下來"可選用：make up one's mind to do，be determined to do，decide to do。題中pursue表示堅(jiān)持不懈地追求，如：She pursued the study of English for five years.(她持續(xù)不斷地學(xué)了五年英語。)

　　4. to participate in social practice

　　本句意為：對(duì)學(xué)生而言，有必要深入社會(huì)實(shí)踐，從而學(xué)到課堂上學(xué)不到的東西。"深入"事實(shí)上是指學(xué)生要參與社會(huì)實(shí)踐，因此確切譯法是to participate，"社會(huì)實(shí)踐"可譯成social practice或social activity。

　　5. has implemented a series of reforms

　　本句意為：為了提高國(guó)有企業(yè)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，政府已經(jīng)實(shí)行了一系列改革，其中一項(xiàng)是裁員。這里大家要記住"國(guó)有企業(yè)"的表達(dá)，而"外資企業(yè)"應(yīng)譯為 oversea-funded enterprise或foreign-based company。"實(shí)行"可選用implement，carry out，由于是"一系列"改革，因此reform要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。另外"已經(jīng)"暗示句子應(yīng)該用完成時(shí)態(tài)。
