【解析】

【1】考查時(shí)態(tài)和過去分詞作定語。根據(jù)漢語提示可知，本句的基礎(chǔ)時(shí)態(tài)是一般過去時(shí)；“排隊(duì)”wait…in line/ queue，“新出的iPhone”the newly-released iPhone，其中一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句“過了……才……”…before…；本句還可用“排了好幾小時(shí)隊(duì)”的現(xiàn)在分詞形式作為伴隨狀語，再結(jié)合其他漢語提示，本句可譯為：He had waited for (several) hours in line/ queued for several hours before he bought/ got the newly-released iPhone. Having waited/ after waiting for hours in line, he finally bought the newly-released iPhone.

【2】考查被動(dòng)語態(tài)和短語。根據(jù)漢語提示可知，本句的基礎(chǔ)時(shí)態(tài)是一般過去時(shí)；“以紀(jì)念”in memory of/ in remembrance of/ to commemorate/ to honor，“珍貴的友誼”precious/ valuable friendship，雕塑 (statue/sculpture)和贈(zèng)與(present)之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用一般過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，再結(jié)合其它漢語提示，故本句可譯為：A statue/ sculpture was presented to City Musuem/ the museum in this city in honour of/ in memory of/ in remembrance of/ to commemorate/ to honour the valuable/ precious friendship between the two cities.

【3】考查部分倒裝和被動(dòng)語態(tài)。根據(jù)漢語提示可知，本句的基礎(chǔ)時(shí)態(tài)是一般過去時(shí)；“一……就……”hardly…when…，hardly置于句首時(shí)要部分倒裝，“告知某人做某事”inform/tell sb. to do sth.，“使用手機(jī)掃描二維碼”use his mobile phone to scan the QR code/ scan the QR code with his mobile phone，再結(jié)合其它漢語提示，故本句可譯為：Hardly had he entered the restaurant when he was informed / told that he could order the food by scanning the code / QR code with his mobile phone./use his mobile phone to scan the QR code to order the food.

【4】考查讓步狀語從句和固定句型。根據(jù)提示可知，本句的基礎(chǔ)時(shí)態(tài)是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)；“忠言”faithful/ frank/ honest advice，“越……越……”the + 比較級(jí)，the + 比較，“這個(gè)年紀(jì)的孩子”children of this age，“很有可能做某事”be likely to do sth.，“叛逆的”rebellious，“聽取某人的建議”follow one's advice，再結(jié)合其它漢語提示，故本句可譯為：Although faithful/ frank/ honest advice is unpleasant to ear but beneficial to one's behaviour, children of this age are so rebellious that the more advice you give him, the less likely he is to follow it./ The more you try to persuade him, the less likely he is to listen to you.

第三小題考查固定句型hardly…when…“一……就……”，該句型在時(shí)態(tài)上有要求，即主句用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，從句用一般過去時(shí)，如把hardly置于句首時(shí)，主語要部分倒裝。例如：

I had hardly fallen asleep when I lay on the bed.我一躺在床上就睡著了。

→Hardly had I fallen asleep when I lay on the bed.

和它用法一樣的句型還有no sooner…than…和scarcely…when…，例如：

I had no sooner fallen asleep than I lay on the bed.我一躺在床上就睡著了。

→No sooner had I fallen asleep than I lay on the bed.
