Q: What does the man want to do?
[解析] 事实细节题。此题询问“这位男士想要做什么?”从男士的话“我可以现在看医生吗?”可知他想要做的应为选项C提到的内容。
[避错指南] 选项A(向老板做汇报)、选项B(和他的经纪人谈话)和选项D(见他的律师)对话中都没有提到，因此都不正确。本题解题的关键在于抓

住doctor一词，干扰项提到的人物都不是doctor。
2．C
W: Excuse me. Can I take this bus to the airport?
M: No, you should take bus NO. 8 over there.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
[解析] 事实细节题。本题询问“我们可从对话得知什么?”女士问“我可否搭乘这辆公共汽车去机场?”根据男士回答的“No”可以知道这辆公共汽车不去机场，因此答案为选项C。
[避错指南] 选项A(机场离这里很远)、选项B(男士错过了公共汽车)虽然都提到了原对话中的“机场”，“公共汽车”等词，但除此之外，这两个选项中的其他信息并没有原文依据。选项D(没有去机场的公共汽车)与男士所说的相反，男士的话可以理解为搭乘8路公汽就可以到机场。
3．A
M: The meeting will start at 9:00 in the morning
W: Yes, but we should arrive there 15 minutes earlier. Q: When should they arrive at the meeting?
[解析] 细节推理题。本题询问“他们应该在什么时候达到会场?”将男士提到的会议开始时间(9点)和女士说的应该提早到达会场的时间(15分钟)相减，就能得…选项A。
[避错指南] 本题只是简单的减法题。另外根据女士说的earlier(提早)，也可以推断他们应在9点前到达，选项B、C、D都是9点或9点后的时间，据此可排除。
4．A
W: Are you going to buy a house in the suburbs?
M: No, I prefer to live in the city center near my work. Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[解析] 细节推理题。本题询问“我们可从对话得知什么?”根据男士说的“我宁愿住在市中心，离我的工作地点近一点”可以推断男士应该在市中心附近工作，因此，正确答案是A。
[避错指南] 在本对活中，女士是对男士提问的人，没有提供关于她自己的任何信息，因此有关女士的选项(选项C和选项D)均不正确。选项B(男士想住在郊区)与男士在对话中提到的意愿相反。
5．B
M: I am interested in your children's shoes. Can I place all order of twenty pairs?
W: Sorry, sir. We can't accept an order of such a small quantity. Q: Why doesn't the woman accept the man's order?
[解析] 事实细节题。试题询问“为什么女士拒绝了男士的订单?”从女士的回答“我们不接受这么小量的订单”可以得出正确答案为选项B。
[避错指南] 其他选项中的关键词，如选项A中的price(价格)、选项C中的delivery(送货方式)和选项D中的discount(折扣)均莱在对话中提及。
Section B
Conversation 1
W: Paul, you have to help me.
M: No problem.

M: Hmm…Did you check to make sure all connections are alright?
W: No. I didn't.
M: [7]Let me have a look at the c

onnections first. W: Thank you.
6．A
What's wrong with the woman's computer?
[解析] 事实细节题。问题询问“女士的电脑出了什么问题”。女士在对话中提到了和选项A一模一洋的话(电脑黑屏了)，因此本题答案为选项A。
[避错指南] 本题稍具于扰性的是选项C，该选项中的connections(连接)在原文也有提及，但当时女士并没有检查过电脑的连接，也就无从确定是否连接上出了问题。
7．B
What's the man going to do first?
[解析] 事实细节题。问题询问“男士首先要做什么”。根据男士在对话末尾说的“让我先看看电脑的连接”选项C为本题答案。
[避错指南] 男士要做的事只在对话末尾通过let me…引出，抓住这一点，即使其他选项都用了和电脑有关的词，也可以排除了。
Conversation 2
M: [8]I am pretty nervous about this afternoon's interview. W: Don't worry. You will be fine as long as you are well prepared.
M: What do I need to take with me?
W: Well, [9]you should take a copy of your resume.
M: Is that all?
W: You should also prepare some questions to ask the interviewer about the job training.
M: OK. Should I wear a suit and tie?
W: Sure, [10]you should dress up formally for the interview.
M: Thank you very much for your advice.
W: My pleasure.
8．C
How does the man feel about the interview?
[解析] 事实细节题。题目询问男士对面试的态度。根据对话内容I am pretty nervous(我很紧张)可以判断正确答案是选项C。
[避错指南] 选项A(高兴)、选项B(兴奋)、选项D(生气)都没有在对话中提及，故予以排除。
9．A
What does the woman advise the man to take with him to the interview?
[解析] 事实细节题。题目询问女士建议男士要带上什么去面试。对话中女士建议应带上a copy of your resume(一份简历)，故选A。
[避错指南] 选项B(申请表)、选项C(推荐信)和选项D(近照)在对话中没有提及，所以予以排除。
10．D
How should the man dress himself for the interview?
[解析] 事实细节题。题目询问男士应该穿着什么衣服去面试。对话中，女士建议男士应该dress up formally(衣着正式)，可见本题应选D。
[避错指南] 选项A(时髦地)、选项B(仔细地)和选项C(漂亮地)在对话中没有提及，均可以排除。
Section C
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. A warm welcome to you all to this reception. First, I'd like to say a few words about tonight's programme. We should begin with a talk by [11]Professor Richard Johnson from London. This would be followed [12]by a question and answer period. You will be free to exchange ideas with the professor. [14]At about 8:00 tonight, when the talk finishes, the reception will go on. And we have pre pared [13]some chocolates, drinks and fruits outside for you. [15]The professor is taking his flight home tonight. Although we would like to have him here longer

with us. we have to make sure that he leaves here by 8:30.
[段落大意] 女士们、先生们，晚上好!热烈欢迎光临本次招待会。首先，我想简单介绍一下今晚的安排。首先由来白伦敦的约翰逊?理查德教授给我们做讲座，然后是问答环节，届时你可以与教授自由地交流想法。到了大概八点钟，讲座结束后，本次招待会将继续下去。我们在外面准备了一些巧克力、饮品和水果。教授将在晚上搭乘飞机离开。虽然我们很想他能多留一会儿，但我们得确保他能在8点半之前离开。
11．[答案] London
Who is invited to give a talk at the reception?
[解析] 事实细节胚。题目询问被请来做讲座的人是谁。由短文开头对演讲者的介绍Protessor Riehard Johnson from London可知答案应填London。
12．[答案] question and answer
What period will follow Professor Johnson's talk?
[解析] 事实细节题。题目询问约翰逊教授的讲座后的安排。短文中的be followed by…表明接下来的就是讲座后的安排，此处的a question and answer period表明空格处应填写question and answer。
13．[答案] drinks and fruits
What refreshments have been prepared outside for the guests?
[解析] 事实细节题。题目询问招待会为客人准备了什么点心。本题解题的关键在于知道题目中的refreshments是“点心”的意思，段文中提到的食物有some chocolates，drinks and fruits，据此，空格处应填写drinks and fruits。
14．[答案] 8:00
When will Professor Johnson finish his talk?
[解析] 事实细节题。题目询问约翰逊教授的讲座几点结束。短文中的At about 8:00……the talk finishes表明讲座在8点左右结束，故本题答案为8:00或8 o'clock.
15．[答案] his flight
Why must Professor Johnson leave by 8:30?
[解析] 细节推理题。题目询问为什么约翰逊教授得在8点半前离开。原文没有直接提到原因，但从短文最后两句提到教授要乘飞机回家和得在8点半前离开两点细节可以推断“要乘飞机回家”就是他得在8点半前离开的原因，因此．本题应填写his flight或者a flight。
Part Ⅱ Structure
Section A
16．[C]
[解析] 本题考查be sorry与不定式的搭配。be sorry后通常有两种结构：be sorry for sth.和be sorry to do sth.，据此先排除选项A和选项B。四个选项中的关键动词cause应与空格后的you构成动词+宾语关系，即为：cause sb. sth. (给某人带来某种影响)，可见，选项C为正确答案。
[避错指南] 在be sorry to do sth. 这一结构中，如果需要强调对“以前”发生的事件感到抱歉，可在不定式to后使用不定式的完成式，构成to have done sth.，如本题。
17．[D]
[解析] 本题考查Hardly…when…句型结构。Hardly是一个半否定词，放在句子开头时，会引起其后主句的主语和谓语倒装。另外，与hardly

连用的时态应为过去完成时，根据这两点要求，不难确定本题答案为选项D。
[避错指南] 在正常的情况下，hardly如果不放在句子开头，就会放在助动词had的后面，如本句的原型应为：George had hardly finished his speech when…像hardly…when…同样用法的结构还有：scarcely…when…和no sooner… than…，它们相同之处在于：①它们都是“一…就…”的意思；②主句时态都必须是过去完成时；③hardly, scarcely, no sooner放在句子开头都会引起主句主谓的倒装。这样，本句也可同义改写为Scarcely had George finished his speech when…和No sooner had George finished his speech than a young man。
18．[B]
[解析] 本题考查非谓语动词作定语的用法。在本题中，空格前的path应为动词lead的逻辑主语，两者构成主动关系，故lead应为其现在分同形式leading。
[避错指南] 非谓语动词有三种形式：现在分词(doing)，过去分词(done)和不定式(to do)。使用现在分词表明该动词与其修饰词(即其逻辑主语)构成“主动关系”；使用过去分词则表明动词与其修饰词(即其逻辑主语)构成被动关系。不定式与分词的区别主要体现在时态上，现在分词可用于强调动作“正在发生”，如：the falling leaves，(正在飘落的树叶)，过去分词可用于强调动作已“完成”，如：an injured man(受了伤的人)，而不定式则表明动作发生在“将来”，如：He is looking for a room to live in，(“他正在找房子住”，表示这个房子要在将来找到之后才能入住)。
19．[A]
[解析] 本题考查代词的用法。空格前的be similar to和空格后的of都表明空格应为名词或代词，做介词to的宾语，选项A中的that为指示代词，符合题目的句法和句意。
[避错指南] 其他选项都是疑问代词，用于引出疑问句或名词性从句(如主语从句、宾语从句等)，空格后既不是疑问句，也不是名词性从句，显然，疑问代词不符合本题要求。
20．[C]
[解析] 本题考查状语从句联系词的用法。every time用于引导时间状语从句，意为“每当……”，从句表示某种情况或条件，主句则表示对应从句情况或条件的做法。
[避错指南] 选项A(好像……)和选项B(正如……)都引导方式状语从句，不符合题目对句意的要求。选项D(迄今为止)不是连词，而是时间状语，而时间状语不可能用于连接主句和从句的。
21．[A]
[解析] 本题考查wish后宾语从句的虚拟语气。在四个选项中，只有选项A可用于虚拟语气句的谓语，表示愿望与现在的事实相反。其他三个选项都用于真实语气句中。
[避错指南] 动词wish后接宾语从句时，从句谓语要用虚拟语气。若要表示与现在事实相反的愿望，从句谓语为过去时或过去进行时；若表示与过

去事实相反的愿望，从句谓语用过去完成时或would/could have done；若表示将来不太可能实现的愿望，从句谓语用would/could do。
22．[D]
[解析] 本题考查与appropriate的介词搭配。be appropriate需与for搭配，意为“对……适合”。
[避错指南] 介词的搭配需要靠我们自已的强记和积累，没有捷径。
23．[D]
[解析] 本题考查完成时态。时间状语by the time…对应的句子主句谓语应为完成时态，在本句中，空格表示的动作应发生在未来，因此，此处谓语应为将来完成时的选项D。
[避错指南] 凡是遇到by the time…引出的时间状语(或时间状语从句)，其对应的主句的谓语为完成时，其中，表示“过去”的时间状语对应过去完成时的主句谓语，而表示“将来”的时间状语则对应将来．完成时的主句谓语。
24．[A]
[解析] 本题考查被动语态的用法。空格前的he指的是主句中的the assistant，根据句意可以推断是史密斯先生要求助理上交会计报表，即助理是“被要求”的，因此，空格应为require的被动形式，即选项A。
[避错指南] 其他三个选项都是require的主动语态的不同时态形式，均不符合题意要求。
25．[B]
[解析] 本题考查从句联系词的用法。从句子的意思可以推断主句和从句存在着因果关系，空格处需要的是表示原因的联系词，故选B。
[避错指南] 选项A(虽然)引导让步状语从句，选项C用于引出目的或结果状语从句，选项D用于引出方式状语从句，均不符合本题句意。
Section B
26．[答案] has been
[解析] 本题考查动词的时态。根据句子的时问状语since 1990可确定空格应为动同的现在完成时，故本题答案为has been。
[避错指南] 在复习与时态相关的语法点时，应注意每个不同时态的常用时间标志(如by the time…结构常与完成时连用，since和for引出的时间状语与现在完成时的谓语连用，…ago则与一般过去时的谓语连用等)，以便答题时能够很好地加以区分，提高准确率。
27．[答案] entirely
[解析] 本题考查形容词与副词的转化。空格后是一个形容词，空格应为修饰该形容词的副词，括号中提供的形容词entire的副词形式entirely就是本题答案。
[避错指南] 英语中很多形容词转换成副词的时候要在单词词尾加-ly，如great—greatly，但是值得注意的是并非所有以-ly结尾的单词都是形容词，一些名词之后加-ly构成的却是形容词，如friend—friendly等。
28．[答案] will be completed
[解析] 本题考查动词时态和被动语态。空格后的时间状语表明句中的谓语应为将来时，句子的主语construction与动词complete应构成被动关系，故空格应为complete的被动语态的将来时，即will be completed。
[避错指南] 判断空格

处需要填入谓语动词时，就需要综合考虑时态、语态和主谓一致的问题。
29．[答案] importance
[解析] 本题考查形容词和名词的转化。空格前的冠词the和空格后的of都表明空格应为名词，形容词important的名词形式是importance。
[避错指南] 形容词转换为名词时，可以添加的常用的后缀除了本题用到的-ance外，还有：-ness，如careful—carefulness(小心)；-(i)ty，如stupid—stupidity(愚蠢)；-ence，如dependent—dependence(依赖)。
30．[答案] had taken
[解析] 本题考查虚拟条件句的动词形式。从主句的谓语would have got可知本句为虚拟语气句，而且动作与过去的事实相反，相应的从句的谓语应为动词的过去完成时，因此，本题答案为take的过去完成式had taken。
[避错指南] 虚拟语句中的谓动词时态变化如下：①与过去事实相反的，条件从旬动词为过去完成时，主句动词为would/should have done，如本题；②与现在事实相反的，条件从句动词为一般过去时，主句动词为would/should do，如If I had time, I would study Frenchi(如果我有时间，我会学习法语的。)③与将来事实相反或在将来发生的可能性很低的，条件从句动词为：一般过去时，were to do或者should do，主句动词为would/should do，如：If it were (to be)/would be fine tomorrow, I would go shopping.(如果明天天气好，我就去买东西。)
31．[答案] were impressed
[解析] 本题考查的是动词的语态时态。空格后的by表明空格应为动词的被动语态，从句中的visited表明主句的动词时态应相应为一般过去时，故应将括号里的动词impress改写为一般过去时的被动语态were impressed。
[避错指南] by是一个明显的被动语态标志词，本题在将impress改为被动语态时，还要注意主谓一致的原则，与主语we一致的动词应为were，而不是was。
32．[答案] employers
[解析] 本题考查动词和名词的转化。空格前的冠词the表明空格应为名词，根据该句的句意可以推断空格的词义应与前文提到的the employees(雇员)相对，据此，应将括号中的动词改写为其名词形式employers(雇主)。
[避错指南] 本题如果将employ转化为其过去分词形式employed，再加上其前面的the，也可用于表示指“雇员”，但the employed和前面的the employees为同义词，这个转化不符合句意的要求。
33．[答案] solving
[解析] 本题考查介词宾语。succeed与其宾语的搭配为succeed in doing sth.，因此，应将括号中的solve改为其动名词形式solving。
[避错指南] 介词后的宾语应为名词，或者通过在动词后加上-ing转化而成的动名词，如本题。
34．[答案] equipment
[解析] 本题考查动词和名词的转化。空格前的冠词the和空格后的of表明空格为名词，equip对应的名词为equipm

ent。
[避错指南] 动词变化为名词时，除了可以添加后缀-ment外，有时也可使用后缀-tion，如instruct—instruction(指示)；-sion，如decide—decision(决定)；-ance，如assist—assistance(协助)；-ence，如depend—dependence(依靠)等。
35．[答案] worse
[解析] 本题考查形容词的比较级。空格后的than表明空格应为比较级，bad的比较级为worse。
[避错指南] 形容词、副词比较级的不规则变化值得注意，例如：good—better(好)；bad—worse(差)；far—farther/further(远，程度深)；many/much more (多)；little—less(少)等。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Task 1

36．[D] 理解判断题。本题询问车辆保养的最好方法是什么。根据文章第1段第2句可知车辆保养的最好方法是“去汽车服务站”，也就是说，汽车应该交给服务站保养，这亦即选项D的意思，故选项D为正确答案。
[避错指南] 选项A(你自己做车辆保养)虽在第2段及以下段落提及，但该选项不符合题意，原文没有说到“自己做车辆保养”是“最好”的方法；选项B(找别的车主帮忙)缺乏原文依据。选项C(把车送回给汽车生产商)是对原文第1段第2句后半部分according to your car maker的错误理解，原文的according to表明车辆保养并不一定由生产商自己来做，只要按照他们设定的标准，谁去做保养都是可以的，可见，选项C不正确。
37．[C] 事实细节题。本题询问汽车是否需要保养了，要看的指标是什么。第1段第3句表明汽车是否是时候要保养了，要看汽车的“里程数”，因而选项C是正确答案。
[避错指南] 选项A(天气情况)、选项B(油耗)和选项D(保养账单)都缺乏原文依据。
38．[A] 事实细节题。本题询问为什么作者建议车辆保养由自己完成，文章第2段that后的定语从句指出了原因，选项A(省钱和容易学)是对该定语从句内容的同义改写，故为本题答案。
[避错指南] 选项B(是简单的节约能源的方法)、选项C(方便而具有挑战性)和选项D(效率更高)均未在原文提及。
39．[C] 事实细节题。本题询问某些零件需要定期更换的原因。第4段第1句末的that引出的定语从句that wear out over time说明了某些零件需要更换的原因，选项C与该定语从句内容同义，故为本题答案。
[避错指南] 选项A(零件过期了)、选项B(零件需要上油了)和选项D(零件容易得到)的相关内容完全没有在文章中出现，故排除不选。
40．[D] 事实细节题。本题询问汽车制造商提供的保养工具包括什么。第5段笫2句提到了保养工具包括all the spanners(所有扳手)，与选项D同义，故选项D为本题答案。
[避错指南] 选项A(备用零件)、选项B(清洁用的刷子)和选项C(测量仪器)均没有提及。
Task 2
41．[C] 事实细节题。本题询问“蓝天飞

行”计划回馈的对象是谁。根据第1段第1句中的a frequent flier rewards program可知该计划的回馈对象是“飞行常客”，故选项C为本题符案。
[避错指南] 选项A(头等舱的客人)和选项B(商务行政人员)缺乏原文依据；选项D(贵宾)中的VIP在第3段末有提及，但原文提到VIP时，说的不是“蓝天计划”的贵宾，而是“天合联盟”的贵宾房，故应予以排除。
42．[A] 事实细节题。本题询问“监天飞行”会员可以怎么使用奖励里程。第2段最后一句特别提到了奖励里程的用法，其中提到了free tickets，由此可见，本题应选A。
[避错指南] 选项B(参观当地景点)、选项C(在超市购物)和选项D(使用贵宾通道)都没有在原文提及。
43．[D] 事实细节题。本题询问在什么情况下累积的里程才有用。最后一段第1句or前面分句的内容就是累积里程生效的条件，将四个选项与此内容对比，可发现选项D与此内容相同，为本题答案。
[避错指南] 选项A(定期交付会费)、选项B(至少每年飞往国外一次)和选项C(每个月搭乘法国航空公司的国内航班一次)都缺乏原文依据。
44．[B] 理解判断题。第4段第3句的As the first membership level，Ivory…表明象牙会员是“蓝天飞行”计划的入门级，由此可以确定选项B的说法正确。
[避错指南] 根据第3段第3句可推断得出会员的级别不同，享受的待遇就不同，因此，选项A(所有会员享有相同待遇)不正确；同一句中的increase(升级)表明会员的级别不是可以随便选择的，必须通过一定的条件才能升级，由此可推断选项C(乘客可随意选择会员级别)不正确。选项D(只有白金会员才能使用贵宾室)没有原文依据。
45．[A] 主旨大意题。文章第一段首先介绍了“蓝天飞行”计划，接下来几段分刖介绍了“蓝天飞行”的会员制度和对会员提供的优惠，由此可见，本文的主题是“蓝天飞行”计划，故本题应选A。
[避错指南] 选项B(乘坐法国航空公司和荷兰皇家航空公司的航班)根本没有提到文章的主题“蓝天飞行”计划，应首先排除。选项C(如何累积飞行里程)和选项D(“蓝天飞行”的会员级别)只是整个“蓝天飞行”计划其中的某些细节，概括性远不如选项A。

Part Ⅳ Translation—English into Chinese
61．[答案] B
[难点分析] 本句是一个由whereas连接的转折并列句，后一个分句还是一个省略句，在his后省略了right to be concerned，后一个分句表明面试官“也有权关注……”，综上所述，选项B

的译文最贴近原文意思，为最佳答案。其次是选项A，该项对后一个分句的结构理解有误，以至于影响了整个分句在意思上的理解。选项C和D除了都错误理解后一个分句的内容外，都漏译了have your right to，并将其后的he concerned about错译成了“了解”和“相信”，相比之下，选项D将be concerned about译成“相信”，而在后一个分句加了原文没有的“胜任”这一内容，显然，选项D比选项C更糟糕。
62．[答案] C
[难点分析] 本句有一个包含定语从句的不定式结构和包含插入成分的简单句组成。句子开头的不定式结构表示“目的”，可以译为“为了……”，该结构中的we deal in是修饰其前面的the new products的定语从句。简单句中的插入成分by airmail表明的是发送资料的方式。综上所述，与原文内容最贴近的是选项C。选项B次之，因为选项B译对了后面的简单句，但对于不定式结构，就将get you familiar with和定语从句中的deal in错误地结合为了“你们想订购”。选项A将不定式的“目的”误解为了“条件”而译成了“如果……”，该选项还将by airmail错译成了通过“快递”，还有，将。reference(参考)错译成了“选择”。选项D是最差的，不但没能理解不定式结构的功能，还译错了多个词组，除了犯了选项B相同的错误外，将by airmail错译为“通过电邮”，最后还漏译了for yore reference(供你参考)。
63．[答案] D
[难点分析] 本句是一个包含一个原因状语从句和一个条件状语从句的复合句。句子开头As引出的为原因状语从句，句子后半部分unless引出的是条件状语从句。能将这两个状语和主句的关系正确翻译出来的只有选项B和选项D。两者比较一下，可发现选项B将条件从句的内容译错了，因此，选项D最好，选项B次之。在剩下的两个较差的选项中，它们都没有将原因和条件翻译出来，而选项A是最差的，因为与选项C相比，选项C还保留了“不能打折”这个原文有的信息，而选项A则将“不折扣”译成了相反的“可以打折”。
64．[答案] A
[难点分析] 本句包含两个状语从句，一个是句子开头much as引出的让步状语从句，另一个是句子末由as引出的原因状语从句。四个选项都准确翻译了这两个状语与主句的关系，但仔细看选项对句子其他词组内容的翻译，可以发现选项A最正确地表达了句子的所有内容。次之的是选项D，该选项主要错译了原文中的offer，根据上下文，此处的offer应为“报价”的意思，而不是“提供帮忙”的意思；原文的让步状语从句表明双方还没开始合作，但选项B和选项C都错误理解为双方“已经”合作过了，选项C只保留了原文“报价太高”的细节，其他细节都译错了，

而相比之下，选项B更糟糕，它连“报价太高”这一点都没有译出来，其他内容也都译错了。
65．[答案] 我们非常关注你们近几个月销售额大幅度下降的情况。起初我们以为是市场不景气，但后来经过更深入地调查研究，我们发现这个时期总的趋势是上升的。因此，我们期望收到你们关于销售状况的详细报告和建议，以便我们能尽快帮助你们把销售额提高到原来的水平。
[难点分析] 原文措辞比较简洁，关键是要注意几个逻辑关系的表达。首先是第2句中的At first…，but…对比关系，翻译but后的内容时最好能加上“后来……”，这样才能与at first(起初)形成对比。第3句中的therefore表示因果关系，虽然在原文中therefore位于主语We之后，但在翻译时，应将“因此”放在整个句子的开头。第3句中的so that表明目的，如果将so that译为“为了……”的话，就要将这一个目的状语从句的内容置于主句之前，但如果要按原文主句——目的从句的语序，就要将so that译为“以便……”，这样才符合汉语的习惯。
