问题     The translator must have an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of his【C1】______languages, full facility in the handling of his target language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual【C2】______, and a knowledge and understanding of the【C3】______subject-matter in his field of specialization. That is, as it【C4】______, his professional equipment. 【C5】______this, it is desirable that he should have an【C6】______mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to grasp quickly the basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work【C7】______ his own, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to consult others【C8】______his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task【C9】______. He should be able to type fairly quickly and accurately and, if he is working mainly for publication, should have more than a nodding【C10】______with printing techniques and proof-reading.
    If he is working basically as an information translator, let us say, for an industrial firm, he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to【C11】______rapidly from one source to another, since this ability is frequently【C12】______of him in such work. Bearing in mind the nature of the translator’s work. i.e. the processing of the written word, it is, strictly speaking, 【C13】______that he should be able to speak the languages he is dealing with. If he does speak them, it is an advantage 【C14】______a hindrance, but this skill is in many ways a luxury that he can【C15】______with. It is, 【C16】______, desirable that he should have an approximate idea about the pronunciation of his source languages even if this is restricted to【C17】______how proper names and place names are pronounced. The same 【C18】______ to an ability to write his source languages. If he cannot, it does not【C19】______. There are many other skills and【C20】______that are desirable in a translator.
【C2】
选项 A、application
B、use
C、utility
D、usage
答案B
解析 考查名词辨析。此空所在句子意为能够熟练处理通常是其母语或习惯语言的目标语言，只有B．use的意思是“使用”，of habitual use意为“习惯性使用的”，符合题意。application“(理论知识等的)应用”；utility和usage似乎都跟“使用”有关，但utility的意思是“效用，效果”，usage的意思是“使用方式，用法”，均不符合题意。
