Answer 1

【答案】

【1】If you stay in this small town for a few weeks, you will have a clearer picture of the living conditions here.

【2】Despite gaining the medical qualification, he didn’t seem to be happier than we had expected.

【3】Only two hundred tourists are allowed to admit to the museum, because the articles there are very precious.

【4】There is no doubt that keeping humorous contributes to reducing stress and enhancing the creative thinking in the society filled with competition.

【解析】

【1】考查if引导的条件状语从句。分析句子结构，这里是if引导的条件状语从句，主句用一般将来时态，从句用一般现在时态；have a clearer picture of “对......有更加清晰的了解”，此处指“对这里的生活情况更清楚”。再根据所给其他汉语，故翻译为If you stay in this small town for a few weeks, you will have a clearer picture of the living conditions here.

【2】考查介词despite和形容词比较级。此处despite“尽管”，是介词，表示“让步”，后面用动名词作宾语；句中使用形容词比较级，且than是连词，后面是宾语从句。再根据所给其他汉语，故翻译为Despite gaining the medical qualification, he didn’t seem to be happier than we had expected.

【3】考查固定搭配和原因状语从句。这里是because引导的原因状语从句，主句主语部分是Only two hundred tourists，谓语是一般现在时态的被动语态are allowed to，固定搭配“be allowed to do sth.”. 再根据所给其他汉语，故翻译为Only two hundred tourists are allowed to admit to the museum, because the articles there are very precious.

【4】考查固定句型、动名词作主语和过去分词作后置定语。句中使用固定句型：There is no doubt that---，在这个句型中that引导同位语从句；从句中动名词短语keeping humorous作主语，谓语动词用单数第三人称contributes to；动词短语contributes to中的to是介词，所以后面用动名词作宾语；the society和 filled之间是被动关系，是过去分词作后置定语。再根据所给其他汉语，故翻译为There is no doubt that keeping humorous contributes to reducing stress and enhancing the creative thinking in the society filled with competition.
