(periodic sentence)

26、（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(Despite its shoacomin gseducation remains the single best means of economic advancement.)解析：解析 本题考查的是松句和掉尾句之间的转换。只要能确定从句，该题便可迎刃而解。5.We lived in Shanghai when I was very young.

(sentence with parallel structure )（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(At the International Museum, you can find ancient Egyptian art, explore African artifacts, anddiscover beautiful textiles from around the world.)解析：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

30、rsonan American marine scientist and writer of popular science, published her book Silent Spring, which aroused worldwide contern for the protection of the environment.)解析：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

31、 Spring”的定语从句。8.Robert took off when he heard the knock on the front door ; he took a box of money.

(complex sentence)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(While English is offered in the morning. law can be taken at night.)解析：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

34、主句。11.He took the little dog out of the room to play in the park. Which was not allowed.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(He took the little dog out of the room to play in the park, which was not allowed.)解析：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 i

35、n black.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(By the service staffon, he stared at the lady dressed in black.)解析：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.（分数：3.00）_

36、正确答案：(Jimmy shut the door and the window, for the noise from the next door almost drove him crazy.)解析：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

37、 be a place to relax at.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(Relieved of your responsibilities at your job, you should be able to relax at home.)解析：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

38、 Gone with the Wind, but Lyde hated it. His chief objection being that it lasted four hours.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(Charlotte loved the movie Gone with the Wind, but Lyde hated it. His chief objection was thatit lasted foor hours.)解析：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

39、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 改为正确形式 was。16.Choose the best topic sentence from the group below by writing A, B, C or D.A.
