He must fill facility in the handling of his target language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual (1) and a knowledge and understanding of the latest subject-matter in his field of specialization. This is, as it were, his professional (2) . In addition to this, it is (3) that he should have an inquiring mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to (4) quickly the basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work (5) his own, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to (6) with other people because his Own (7) does not always prove adequate to the task in hand. He should be able to type fairly quickly and (8) and, if he is working mainly for publication, should have more than a nodding (9) with printing techniques and proof-reading.

（分数：70.00）
(1).A. application B. use C. utility D. usage（分数：3.50）
A.
B.
C.
D. √
解析：词义辨析题。这四个选项都有“应用，运用”的意思。application指“(理论知识的)应用”，use 表示“工具等的使用”，utility表示“实用，有效地使用某物使其发挥效用”，usage侧重于“具体的用法”。结合句意“他在处理目标语言的过程中必须充实自己的语言储备，这可以是他的母语、经常______的语言和所属专业领域的知识以及对最新话题的了解”可知，此处是指经常使用的语言，故选D。
(2).A. equipment B. language C. performance D. facility（分数：3.50）
A. √
B.
C.
D.
解析：词义辨析题。equipment意为“设备，才能”，language意为“语言”。performance意为“履行，执行”，facility意为“容易，灵巧，设备”。结合句意“这可以说是他的职业______”以及上文提到的excellent和up-to-date knowledge of his source languages可知，此处指专业知识的装备，故选equipment。其他选项所说的内容都太小，不能够完全地概括出一个翻译人员所需要具备的素质。
(3).A. wise B. unique C. desirable D. effective（分数：3.50）
A.
B.
C. √
D.
解析：词义辨析题。wise意为“英明的”，unique意为“独特的”，desirable意为“理想的，合意的”，effective意为“有效的”。原文意为“除此之外，他还应具备不断求索的思维、广泛的兴趣、良好的记忆力以及快速掌握新生事物基本原理的能力，这样才是______”。此处承接上文，说明的是翻译人员应具备的能力要求，结合选项应填入desirable。
(4).A. input B. grasp C. seek D. expand（分数：3.50）
A.
B. √
C.
D.
解析：词义辨析题。input意为“输入”，grasp意为“抓紧，掌握”，seek意为“寻求”，expand意为“扩张，扩大”。填入的词与basic principles(基本原理)构成搭配，选项grasp符合文意。
(5).A. on B. in C. for D. by（分数：3.50）
A. √
B.
C.
D.
解析：短语搭配题。根据句意“他应该愿意______完成工作，而且通常速度很快，但他也应该谦虚十足地去______别人，因为自己的______对于做手头的工作并不总是够用的”，填入的词应与his own构成搭配，表达“独自，独立”之意，故选A。on one's own指“依靠自己的力量做某事”，of one's own指“自己拥有的东西”。介词by与for通常不与own构成短语。
(6).A. learn B. imitate C. conduct D. consult（分数：3.50）
A.
B.
C.
D. √
解析：词义辨析题。learn意为“学习”，imitate意为“模仿，仿效”，conduct意为“引导，管理”，consult意为“商量，商议”。根据文意(见第5题解析)和常识可知，谦虚的表现通常是“请教他人”，故应选consult，consult with others意为“向他人请教”。
(7).A. profession B. intelligence C. knowledge D. style（分数：3.50）
A.
B.
C. √
D.
解析：词义辨析题。profession意为“职业”，intelligence意为“智力”，knowledge意为“知识”，style意为“风格，时尚”。从语法上看，四个选项都可填入，但结合句意(见第5题解析)，可知选C，即不够用的是知识，而不是风格或智力。
(8).A. steadily B. accurately C. regularly D. reasonably（分数：3.50）
A.
