(simple sentence) （分数：2.00）_正确答案：()解析：Hockey is a popular sport in many countries around the world. /Hockey is a sport popular in many countries around the world.解析 本题考查把句子改写为简单句。简单句是最基本的句子类型，至少是含有主语和谓语动词的、独立的、有意义的句子。与复合句相比，简单句中不能出现从属连词。在此题中就是要把 which引导的定语从句改成定语，修饰“sport”。所以把

Without a rest. （分数：3.00）_正确答案：()解析：They have been engaged in the work all day long without a rest.解析 此句也是一个破句。改正的方法就是让后一句和前一句连接起来，做前一句的状语。13.Because he said nothing does not mean he agreed to your

31、proposals. （分数：3.00）_正确答案：()解析：That he said nothing does not mean he agreed to your proposals.解析 本题考查从属连词引起的破句的修改。这道题的错误出在做主语的从句用错的连词引导了。表示因果关系的连词不能用作主语从句的引导词。所以在改正时只需删除连词 because，把 that置于句首引导主语从句即可。14.Susan likes to swim in summer and skiing in winter. （分数：3.00）_正确答案：()解析：Susan likes swimming in su

39、be put out. Then, too, a salesperson must be courteous when a customer is unreasonable and demanding. As you can see, a salesperson does more than just stand around and ring up others. 解析 主题句是一段话中最具有概括性的话语，寻找主题句时一定要以理解段落的意思为前提，因为主题句的位置并不是总在句首，还有在句中、句末的情况，切勿凭感觉想当然地看问题。做“标出主题句”这类题时，一定要理解句意和句子之间的关系。在这段话中，作者主要描述了作为一个商店售货员都需要做的工作，这些工作看似简单其实并不容易。所以很明显主题句是第一句话：“很多人都认为售货员的工作并不难，但是从我的亲身经历来看，要想做好这份工作不仅需要时间、努力还需要耐心。”18.Read the following paragraph carefully and choose the best topic sentence from the four possible answers that f
