一．单项选择
A well?written composition __A__good choice of words and clear organization among other things.
A. calls for ? B. calls on ? C. calls up ? D. calls off
【句意】一篇好文章，除其它因素外，还要求选词优美，组织清晰。
【难点】call for意为“要求，需要”;call on意为“号召，请求”;call up意为“使人想起” ;call off意为“取消，停止做”。
二．翻译
Any discussion of the American educational system would be less than complete if it did not mention the emphasis that many colleges and universities place upon the nonacademic, social,“extracurricular”aspect of education, often defined as personal growth.
译文：如果对美国教育体系的讨论未能涉及许多学院及大学教育中非学术性的、社会的及“课程外”的方面，即其对个性成长的重视，那么这种讨论就不全面。
[精解]本题考核的知识点是：条件状语从句、后置定语。
该句子是含条件状语从句的主从复合句。句子的主干是：Any discussion … would be less than complete。If条件从句翻译时应前置，其中代词it指代主句主语Any discussion …。条件句中又含有that引导的定语从句修饰the emphasis。定语从句的主干是：… universities place (emphasis) upon the … education,句子最后的分词结构(which is) defined as personal growth是前面名词短语the nonacademic, social,“extracurricular”aspect of education的后置定语。由于名词短语中已含有多个形容词做定语，因此，句末的后置定语应采用拆译法，译成同位语。
词汇方面：place emphasis upon (sth.)强调，重视; extracurricular课外的，业余的，extra-前缀意为“在外，外面”; personal growth个人成长。
