3. _____________，well have to go tomorrow.

is ________________we are looking for.

5. Their income is ________________.

答案与解析：

1. were plunged into a dire suffering

本题考查考生基本词汇量和短语的掌握情况。 水深火热 在英文中没有一个对等词，所以要采用意译法。可以接受的译法有：a dire suffering，an abyss of suffering，extreme misery。Be plunged into表示 使......陷入，使......遭受 ，如：plunge a country into war;plunge sb. into deep sorrow。另外，前半句中careworn意为 受折磨的，饱经忧患的` 。

2. theory be combined with practice

be combined with...是固定搭配，意为 与......相结合 。Be connected with是指 将......连起来 ，在含义上有所差别。其次，句首用了We think it most important that句型，暗示从句要用虚拟语气，should可以省略。

3. Rain or shine

本题考查固定用法 不论...... ，英语用...来表达。如：Winter or summer，that lady always wears a long black gown.类似的表达还有：better or worse，good or evil，sink or swim，men or women，old or young。
