　　【真题3】How many times have I head people say, “I could write a book. I just haven’t time.”

　　【真题5 】While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent, the final, polished the work that he gave to the world was the result of years of practising, rewriting and reading.

　　【解析】本句中考察了定语从句the work that he gave to the world的翻译，本句中定语从句部分比较短可以翻译为“他呈现给这个世界的作品”;其次考察了have an abundance of...(拥有大量的......)以及polish(润色).

　　【参考译文】显而易见，尽管他非常具有写作天赋，但是经过润色最终呈现给这个世界的作品是他多年练习、重写和阅读的结果。

　　【真题6】Like the majority of authors he had to suffer many disappointments and ...
