Directions:

　　In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 1~5, choose the most suitable one from the list A~G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices which do not fit in any of the gaps.

　　The marriage Law of People's Republic of China was modified in 2001. The amendment adapts to the variations in the economic development and social changes.

　　1._________________Some basic systems were not set up in the former law, such as system of void marriage and voidable marriage and compensation for the divorce injuries etc. The second is lack of modification and compliment. Ever since its enforcement in 1980, the Marriage Law had not been modified in spite of the severe change occurred in the real life of Chinese marriage and living conditions. Therefore, the modification of the Marriage Law was not only necessary but also in emergency.

　　2._________________In the following, the main facets of the amendment will be enumerated and commented.

　　3._________________The four circumstances are bigamy, consanguineous marriage that is forbidden by law, having certain illness before the marriage that is deemed in medicine not supposed to marry and not cured after marriage and having not reached lawful matrimonial age. In the Article 11, it is stipulated the marriage that can be annulled that is, voidable marriage. The stipulations of the voidable marriages contain the cause and the time limit of petition. In the Article 12, the legal consequences of the void marriage and the voidable marriage are stipulated. The consequences are that such marriages are void from the very beginning and the parties do not enjoy marital rights or bear marital obligation. The property that was obtained in the cohabitant period is to be dealt with according to the parties agreement and if no agreement is reached the court will decide in the principle of considering the party with no fault. As for the bigamy, the interests of the party in a legitimate marriage shall not be infringed and the stipulations in the law of relation between parents and children are applied to the children in bigamy.

　　4._________________Contrary to the media dissemination before the modification that criminal responsibility will be included in the problem of second concubine, the new Marriage Law just adopt the civil liability. However, it is still strengthened in the field. The new Marriage Law abandoned the distinction of bigamy in lawful form and bigamy as a matter of fact. The bigamy in the new Marriage Law is only the bigamy in lawful form. The bigamy as a matter of fact is included in the cohabitation done by people who have other legal spouse. In the Article 46, both bigamy and the cohabitation of people who have spouse are conditions on which the other party is entitled to damages.

　　5.__________________To cohabit with other people during the period of marriage is out of question the breach of the loyal obligation and the violation of the other party's consortium. However, such rights and obligations can be stipulated in the Marriage Law. Criminal responsibility has no legal basis to be included into this part of law, for if so, the execution of law will be deprived of corresponding basis.

　　[A] The second concubine is the typical example of cohabitation with others done by people who has spouse. Marriage is presumed to be a deed between certain man and woman who bear the loyal obligations.

　　[B] In the first place, the system of void marriage and voidable marriage has been induced in the new Marriage Law of P.R.C. In the Article 10 of the Marriage Law it is stipulated that if one of the four circumstances of marriage is fulfilled the marriage will be announced void by courts.

　　[C] There are two main deficiencies in the Marriage Law of P.R.C. before the modification, first of which is that the clauses are mostly abstract principles and lack of systematically completeness.

　　[D] After the modification, several new systems are established and some clauses are defined clearer and more positive.

　　[E] The marital property system has always been an essential system in the family and marriage legal regulations.

　　[F] Secondly, the law is strengthened to address the situation of second concubine .

　　[G] The divorce criteria have been completed. In the 1980 Marriage Law, the general principle of incompatibility is adopted.

Ⅲ. Translation

Please translate the underlined sentences in the passage.

Saddam's Co-Defendants Await Execution

　　（1）Two of Saddam Hussein's co-defendants were taken from their cells and told they were going to be hanged on the same day the former dictator was executed their lawyer said Sunday.

　　（2）But the two condemned men still await death as Iraqi officials decide how to avoid the kind of outcry that followed Saddam's hanging on Dec. 30.

　　Also on Sunday, the U.S. military announced the deaths of five more American troops and at least 14 Iraqis died in bombings and shootings.

　　Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief Barzan Ibrahim and the former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, Awad Hamed al-Bandar, were sentenced to hang.

　�。�3）They were convicted along with Saddam of involvement in the killings of nearly 150 Shiites in the town of Dujail after a 1982 assassination attempt there against Saddam.

　　Their executions were postponed however, until after the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha which ended five days ago.

　　（4）Authorities also decided to give Saddam his own "special day," National Security adviser Mouwaffak al-Rubaie said at the time of his execution.

　　（5）One of Saddam's lawyers who met the deposed leader in his final days told The Associated Press over the weekend that Saddam expected to be put to death and considered it "the most beautiful end"he could have.

　　Now Iraqi officials must decide how to carry out a second round of executions in the face of worldwide criticism over their handling of Saddam's death. In the final moments of his life, Saddam was taunted by some of those present in the execution chamber as he stood with a noose around his neck.

　　British Prime Minister Tony Blair criticized the way in which Saddam was executed.

　　"He believes that the manner of the execution was completely wrong, but that should not lead us to forget the crimes that Saddam Hussein committed including the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis," a spokeswoman for Blair's office said on condition of anonymity in line with policy.

　　Blair's likely successor, Treasury chief Gordon Brown, said Saturday that the taunting of Saddam during his execution and the release of an illicitly recorded cell phone video was "deplorable" and "completely unacceptable."

　　Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has ordered an inquiry into the emergence of the unofficial video, on which Saddam is heard exchanging insults with his executioners and shown dying on the gallows.

　　In Amman, Jordan's Parliament also denounced the execution and asked God to bless Saddam's soul. The speaker of the lower house said Saddam's execution ignored the feelings of Muslims and Arabs because it came just before the start of the religious festival of Eid al-Adha.

　　While waiting for their own postponed executions, Ibrahim and al-Bandar have been mourning Saddam, their lawyer Issam Ghazawi told the AP. He said he met with the men individually on Wednesday in Baghdad where they are in U.S. custody.

　　The lawyer said U.S. officials had told the pair their deaths were imminent on the day of Saddam's execution.

　　Ghazawi said Ibrahim told him the Americans took him and al-Bandar from their cells on the day of Saddam's hanging and brought them to an office inside the prison at about 1 a.m. They asked them to collect their belongings because they intended to execute them at dawn - the same time Saddam was put to death.

練習答案與題解：

Part B選擇搭配

1.[C]
此句話為第二段首句，應與第一段緊密銜接并與本段保持一致。通讀第一段可知，本文應當與2001年婚姻法的修訂有關。所以本段的開頭既要與第一段保持一致，又要引領下文。所以選擇C。

2.[D]
此處主要考慮與后面的一致性。下面主要講在婚姻法修改以后，一些新的體系建立起來，正好與此句內容相一致。所以選D。

3.[B]
這里考查的就是全文的銜接問題了。原文是一個邏輯的整體，要時刻注意把握。在上端段末提示了下面將要對主要修訂的幾處加以評論，所以本句話的提示詞"In the first place"就成了重要線索。

4.[F]
注意把握段與段之間的邏輯銜接關系。本段與上一段相比顯然與上一段在內容上有所不同，據此判斷這是另一層意思的開始，因此選擇F。

5.[A]
此處要把握好層次間的搭配轉換。這個選項具有一定的迷惑性。因為這里不像前幾段邏輯層次那樣明顯，但也并非如羚羊掛角無跡可尋，在空欄之后我們就可以看到信息詞"cohabit"，據此，可以判斷是選A。

Translation

1．該句翻譯要點關鍵在于怎樣把英文中的句子調整的符合漢語語序。按照漢語習慣，我們通常會把時間狀語提前。

本句應譯為：星期天，薩達姆·侯賽因兩個共同被告的律師說，這兩位被告被從牢房中帶了出來并且被告知他們將與前獨裁者在同一天接受絞刑。

2． condemned愿意為已被判罪的人，這里根據上下文的語義應該譯為被判死刑者。

本句應譯為：但這兩個被判死刑者仍然在等待接受死刑。因為12月30日薩達姆被絞死后，伊拉克官方要考慮怎樣做才能避免民眾憤怒的抗議。

3． involvement在這里是名詞，但在翻譯成漢語時，為了符合漢語的表達習慣需要將名詞轉譯成動詞。

本句應譯為：在1982年的一次反薩達姆的暗殺企圖后，他們因為卷入了屠殺Dujail鎮將近150名什業派穆斯林事件而和薩達姆一同被定罪。

4．注意這里的代詞，文中的"his"指的是上文提到的薩達姆，在翻譯時，可以把薩達姆的名字加上。

本句應譯為：國家安全顧問Mouwaffak al-Rubaie在薩達姆執行死刑的時候說，權威人士也希望把特別的日子只留給薩達姆一個人。

5．在原文中，作者力求將其文筆發揮到比較佳，在一句話中兩次提到薩達姆時所用的指代都不相同，我們在翻譯過程也要把握這一特點，把它翻到位。

本句應譯為：在其比較后的日子里見到過這位前領導人的薩達姆的律師之一在那個周末對美聯社說道，薩達姆希望被處死，他認為這是他能得到的比較美的結局。
