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 use, and knowledge and understanding of the【C2】______subject-matter in his field of specialization. This is, as it were, his professional equipment. In addition to this, it is desirable that he should have an【C3】______ mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to grasp quickly the basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work on his own, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to【C4】______others should 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【C5】______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【C6】______rapidly from one source language to another, as well as from one subject-matter to another, since this ability is frequently required 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, 【C7】______that he should be able to speak the languages he is dealing with. If he does speak them, it is an【C8】______rather than a hindrance, but this skill is in many ways a luxury that he can do away with. It is, however, desirable that he should have an approximate idea about the pronunciation of his source languages even if this is restricted to【C9】______how proper names and place names are pronounced. The same applies to an ability to write his source languages. If he can, well and good; if he cannot, it does not matter. There are many other skills and【C10】______that are desirable in a translator.
【C2】
选项 A、last
B、later
C、latest
D、latter
答案C
解析 考查形容词辨析。last“最近的，上一个的，最后的”，later“后来的，以后的”，latest“最近的，最新的”。latter“后者的，后面的”。根据上文中的up-to-date knowledge可知，这里表示译者必须掌握自己专业领域的最新题材,故选C。
