   This is,【C3】______, his professional equipment.【C4】______this, it is desirable that he【C5】______have an inquiring mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to grasp quickly the basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work【C6】______his own, often【C7】______high speeds, but should be humble enough to consult others【C8】______his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task in hand. He should be able to type fairly quickly and accurately and, if he is working mainly for publication, should have more than a nodding【C9】______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【C10】______rapidly from one source language to another, as well as from one subject-matter to another, since this ability is frequently【C11】______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,【C12】______that he should be able to speak the languages he is dealing with. If he does speak them, it is an advantage【C13】______a hindrance, but this skill is in many ways a luxury that he can【C14】______with.

The same【C18】______to an ability to write his source languages. If he can, well and good; if he cannot, it does not【C19】______. There are many other skills and【C20】______that are desirable in a translator.
【C6】
选项 A、of
B、by
C、for
D、on
答案D
解析 on one’s own为固定搭配，意为“独立地，独自地”，符合题意，故选项D正确。of one’s own意为“自己拥有的”，如a room of my own我自己的房间，不合题意。而for和by不与one’s own搭配。
