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.
【C13】
选项 A、essential
B、unnecessary
C、advantageous
D、useless
答案B
解析 考查形容词辨析。从上下文来看，这一句话强调翻译工作是处理书面文字，也就是说会讲这门语言并不一定必要，而且下一句紧接着说“如果他确实会讲”，进一步说明了不是人人都一定要会讲的。另外，it is(un)necessary that后接的从句中应该使用should型的虚拟语气，这与该句相符，所以B．unnecessary符合文意。essential“本质的，实质的，基本的”；advantageous“有利的”；useless“无效的，无益的”，均不符题意。
