(compound sentence)分值: 2答案:Tom and Mary broke up, but a eoupte of weeks ago they were planning to get married.解析 本题考查将两个单句组合成一个并列句。由于前后两单句间存在转折关系，故可用but一词连接两句子，使其构成并列句。3.The new room is spacious.

3、sive for us. (complex sentence)分值: 2答案:Although the new room is spacious, it is too expensive for us.解析 本题考查把两个单句组合成复合句。 本题可将两单句中任一句子作为主句，所以该题也可改写为：The new room is spacious, though it is too expensive for us。4.Education remains the single best means of economic advancement despite its *ings.

5、ry young, and we moved to Beijing later because my father found a job there.解析 本题考查将句子改写为并列复合句。该题第一、二分句为顺承叙述可构成并列句：第三句又与前两分句有因果关系，可构成复合句。6.At the International Museum, you can find ancient Egyptian art. You can explore African artifacts there. You can discover beautiful textiles from around the worl

6、d there. (sentence with parallel structure )分值: 2答案:At the International Museum, you can find ancient Egyptian art, explore African artifacts, anddiscover beautiful textiles from around the world.解析 本题考查把句子改写为平行结构。平行结构是把两个或两个以上意思并列的成分用同等的语法形式表达出来的结构。平行结构可以是单词、词组、从句，也可以是句子。此题中，三句都有动宾结构，所以可以把这三个动宾结构并列

7、起来。7.In 1962, Rachel Carson published her book Silent Spring. Rachel Carson was an American marine scientist and writer of popular science. The book aroused worldwide concern for the protection of environment. (long sentence)分值: 2答案:In 1962, Rachel Carsonan American marine scientist and writer of po

8、pular science, published her book Silent Spring, which aroused worldwide contern for the protection of the environment.解析 本题考查的是将句子改写为长句。该题有三个短句，其中第一句内容包含二、三句中的关键词“Rachel Carson”和“the book”，据此可把第二句转换成短语，归并到第一句中作“Rachel Carson”的同位语，把第三句作为首句中“Silent Spring”的定语从句。8.Robert took off when he heard the kno

9、ck on the front door ; he took a box of money. (sentence with a prepositional phrase)分值: 2答案:With a box of money, Robert took off when he heard the knock on the front door.解析 本题考查将句子改写为含介词短语的句子。通过分析句意(Robert逃走时带走了一盒钱)可知，“a box of money”可以单独写出，和介词with连接作状语。另外，介词短语置于句首时一般通过逗号和后面句子隔开。9.She was a singer

10、,a writer and finally she became a movie director. (sentence with parallel structure)分值: 2答案:She was a singer, a wtiter and finallv, a movie director.解析 本题考查含平行结构的句子。平行结构可以是单词、词组或从句。该题仅须去掉连词and之后的主语和谓语(she became)就可实现一组名词的平行结构。10.English is offered in the morning. Law can be taken at night. (complex

11、 sentence)分值: 2答案:While English is offered in the morning. law can be taken at night.解析 本题考查把句子改写为复合句。一个含有从句和主句的句子便是复合句。复合句主句部分常常是一句话的中心所在，是被强调的部分；从句部分由从属连词引导，一般放在句首，用逗号与主句分开。据此，可以添加while一词，使第一个句子成为从句，第二句作主句。.改写病句Correct the errors in the following sentences.11.He took the little dog out of the room

12、 to play in the park. Which was not allowed.分值: 3答案:He took the little dog out of the room to play in the park, which was not allowed.解析 本题考查修饰语错置引起的病句。该题第二句本是第一句的从句，故可删去句号，且小写which的首字母。12.He stared at the lady by the service station dressed in black.分值: 3答案:By the service staffon, he stared at the

13、lady dressed in black.解析 本题考查修饰语错置的修改。由于修饰词和其所饰词语相隔太远会引起歧义，因此将“by the service station”前置靠近“he”而让“dressed in black”与“lady”靠近可避免产生歧义。13.Jimmy shut the door and the window the noise from the next door almost drove him crazy.分值: 3答案:Jimmy shut the door and the window, for the noise from the next door al

14、most drove him crazy.解析 本题考查串句的修改。这是一个无标点的串句。串句是一种错句，即在没有连接词或标点符号的情况下将两个或两个以上独立的单句串在一起的句子。避免串句主要有3种方法：(1)句号与大写；(2)逗号与连接词；(3)使用分号。本题在改正时应选用第二种方法：加逗号和连词。14.Relieved of your responsibilities at your job, your home should be a place to relax at.分值: 3答案:Relieved of your responsibilities at your job, you

15、should be able to relax at home.解析 本题考查的是垂悬修饰语的修改。垂悬修饰语即修饰语在句中找不到逻辑上被修饰的对象的结构。改正方法通常有两种：(1)明确动作的实施者，使主语成为垂悬部分所修饰的对象：(2)将省略句或分词词组扩展成从句。从工作责任中解脱出来的不应该是“家”，而是某个人自己，所以主句的主语应该换成you。15.Charlotte loved the movie Gone with the Wind, but Lyde hated it. His chief objection being that it lasted four hours.分值:

16、3答案:Charlotte loved the movie Gone with the Wind, but Lyde hated it. His chief objection was thatit lasted foor hours.解析 本题考查的是破句的修改。这是一个由-ing分词引起的破句。当-ing分词处于一组词的首位或靠近首位时就有可能出现破句，这样的句子缺少主语或谓语动词的一部分；改正这类破句的方法有三个：(1)将破句与其前或其后的句子连接起来，使意思完整；(2)增添主句，把-ing部分变为动词的正确形式；(3)把being改为be的恰当形式。所以在此句中需要把being改为正确

17、形式was。.标出主题句16.Choose the best topic sentence from the group below by writing A, B, C or D. A. The most critical election happened in 1896. B. The Great Depression produced conditions for 1932 election. C. Abraham Lincoln won the election of 1860 and became the 16th American president. D. Americas t

18、wo-party system has experienced three critical elections, each of which affected the party balance in government. Answer:_分值: 5答案:Answer：D解析 主题句是段落中表达中心思想的句子，所以往往是一个段落中最具概括性、最重要的话语。主题句的中心限制一段话的内容范围，范围太大或者太小都会使作者无法展开段落，必须要通过某些限制性的词语将内容范围限制到一定程度，因此主题句应包括主题和限制词语。在此题中，只有D项“美国的两党制已经历过三次关键性的选举，每一次都影响到党派在政

19、府中的平衡。”这句话概括全面，范围适中，所以D应为主题句。17.Read the following paragraph and underline the topic sentence. A family group is a good example for illustrating norms,roles, social status,and soeial structure. Charlie has certain expectations for Alice that have developed between them over time. Alice is his wife,

20、and he expects her to have the primary responsibility for childrearing and for dealing with relatives.

24、 share in housework，to prepare the meals, toplay with the children, to listen to *plaimsabout her boss, to encourage her to pursue her professional growth, and to know what to do in a weatheremergency or when the plumbing breaks down.解析 主题句是段落中表达中心思想的句子。主题句告诉读者这段话所讲的内容，它统率全段。段落中其他的句子都应与主题句所提出的思想有关：说

25、明它、展开它、为它服务。因此主题句是一个段落不可缺少的部分，是核心。主题句常位于段首，但有时也出现在段中。或段落的末尾。第一句的主要意思是：一个家庭就是说明准则、角色、社会地位以及社会结构这些问题的一个很好的例子。而后面叙述的Charlie和Alice两人对对方的期望，是为了说明第一句而举的例子，也就是第一句的支持句。所以第一句就很好地概括了本段的中心思想，是本段的主题句。18.Read the following paragraph carefully and choose the best topic sentence from the four possible answers that

26、 follow the paragraph by writing A, B, C or D. Topic Sentence: _ My chief reason for choosing Bingston University is its wonderful work/study program in agriculture, my chosen field.

29、entence: C解析 文章的第一句话叙述作者选择Bingston University的主要原因，后面几句话对主要原因进行了展开描述；接着又列出第二条原因“Second”；最后一句话又列出最后一条原因。由此可见这段话主要是论述了作者选择Bingston University的原因，因此选C。.重新组合段落Rearrange the following numbered sentences so that they will read logically.
