Part Ⅱ Listening Comprehension

Section A

Directions: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.

    2．第三句：分析句子结构可知，“是……，也是……”表示并列关系，可以使用not only...but also...结构；“南北交通的重要枢纽”翻译成a significant north-south traffic hub，“南京的著名景点之一”翻译成one of famous scenic spots in Nanjing。

    3．第四句：本句较长，也需根据句间关系进行拆分，主体是“南京长江大桥的建成标志着中国桥梁建设的一个飞跃”，后面的两个分句是主体句带来的结果，故翻译为现在分词短语。“对促进经济发展和改善人民生活起到了巨大作用”需使用play a role这一短语，表示“发挥作用”。
