(150200 words)（分数：30.00）_英语写作基础自考题-8 答案解析(总分：90.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、B(总题数：10，分数：15.00)1.It began to shake noticeably as soon

22、 as the plane lifted off the runway. (periodic sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(As soon as the plane lifted off the runway, it began to shake noticeably.)解析：解析 此题要求把松散句改为掉尾句，即把句子最关键的东西移至句尾。2.In our launching satellites, computers play a key role. (loose sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Computers play a key role in

23、our launching satellites.)解析：解析 介词短语 In our launching satellites 是修饰语，根据松散句规则，应该放到句末。3.The enemy ran away as soon as they saw our flag. (simple sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(At the sight of our flag, the enemy ran away.)解析：解析 原句是一个含有 as soon as 引导的时间状语从句的复合句，要求变为简单句。简单句是只含有一套主谓结构的句子，它不能有从句，故在变化时我们用 at th

24、e sight of 这个表示时间意义的介词短语代替 as soon as 引导的时间状语从句。译文：敌人一看到我们的旗子就跑了。特别要注意主从句主语的互换。4.Our team lost its last ten games. Nevertheless, we remain confident of our ability to win. (compound sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Our team lost its last ten games; nevertheless, we remain confident of our ability to win.)解析

25、：解析 此题要求把句子改写成并列句，并列句是由两个以上的简单句合并而成的句子，它的合并方式通常是由逗号加一个连接词(and，but，for，nor，or，so，yet)，或由句子衔接词，分号来连接两个分句。前后两个句子不分主从，重量相当。此题中后一个句子有副词 nevertheless，因此在选择连词时仍然选 nevertheless 的连词用法。5.At last my wish is realized. The government has granted me permission to go to the West. (complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(

26、At last my wish is realized because the government has granted me permission to go to the West.)解析：解析 原句由两个简单句组成，要求合并为一个复合句。复合句是含有主句和从句的句子。分析题干后可知，第一个句子讲述了中心意思“最终我的愿望成真。”第二句则是对第一句的原因的解释，即两句之间是一种因果关系，故用连词 because 连接。译文：最终我的梦想终于实现了，因为政府允许我去西部了。6.My sister was a teacher, a school principal, and finally

27、 she became a successful business executive. (parallel structure)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(My sister was a teacher, a school principal, and finally a successful business executive.)解析：解析 阅读原句发现，如果要用并列结构修改原句，能修改的部分只能是将原句三个表语部分并列起来，因为整句话主语均一致，且均为系表结构。译文：我姐姐曾是一个教师，一个学校校长，最后她成了一个成功的商业执行官。7.The tall hedge muffled

28、(减弱) the noise. The hedge surrounded my house. (complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(The tall hedge which surrounded my house muffled(减弱)the noise.)解析：解析 原句为两个简单句，第一个简单句意为：高高的树篱减弱了嗓音；第二个意为：树篱环绕着我的房子。要求合并为复合句。很显然第一个句子是主要意思所在。合并时可将第二句转换为第一句句子主语的后置定语从句。8.The intense snowstorm delayed our flight. We managed

29、 to check into a motel. It was just a mile from the airport. (compound-complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(The intense snowstorm delayed our flight, but we managed to check into a motel which was just a mile from the airport.)解析：解析 原句是三个简单句，要求变为并列复合句。多个简单句合并成并列复合句时，应注意哪些部分可以合并成并列部分，哪些部分需要采取复合形式。第一句说大暴雪

30、延误了我们的航班，第二句说我们住进了汽车旅馆，第三句说该汽车旅馆离机场只有一英里，第三句是对第二句中 motel 的补充说明，所以二、三两句要采用定语从句来复合的形式。那么第一句跟二、三句之间的关系只能是并列，大暴雪延误航班本应造成很大麻烦，但我们成功避免了，故用连词 but 引导。9.Jun Ji Hyun (全智贤), a South Korean actress, has earned the adoration of the audiences. She presents an honest, flawed character beautifully in the film Sassy

31、. (compound-complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Jun Ji Hyun (全智贤) is a South Korean actress, and she has earned the adoration of the audiences because she presents an honest, flawed character beautifully in the film Sassy.)解析：解析 原题含有两个简单句，要求合并为并列复合句。从句意上看，第一句为全智贤，这位韩国女演员，赢得了观众的喜爱。而第二句则说明了第一句成立的原因。转化为并列

32、复合句时，第一句中表示主语身份的同位语扩展为句子，它和 she has earned.用 and 连接，表并列关系。而一、二句之间则需要用 because 引导，表示原因。译文：全智贤是一位韩国女演员；她赢得了观众的喜爱，因为她在影片我的野蛮女友中成功地扮演了一个诚实而又有缺陷的角色。10.Jules is sweet. He is considerate. He is loving. (simple sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Jules is sweet, considerate, and loving.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为简单句。简单句是最基本的句子类型

33、，至少是含有主语、谓语动词的独立的、有意义的句子。简单句可以有一个以上的主语，也可以有一个以上的动词，与并列句相比，简单句中不能出现连接两个句子的连词，无论是从属连词还是并列连词。二、B(总题数：5，分数：15.00)11.I hear that the view from the Sears Tower in Chicago is magnificent, I have never visited it.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(I hear that the view from the Sears Tower in Chicago is magnificent, but I have

34、 never visited it.)解析：解析 原句是个串句，两个分句都表达各自的完整意思，中间却只用逗号将其隔开是不正确的。根据句意，两个句子之间是转折关系，修改时可在后面句子前加上转折连词 but。12.Although the season has not yet begun has caused the public to get overly anxious for information about the team.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(Although the season has not yet begun, the public has been caused

35、to be overly anxious for information about the team.)解析：解析 本题是一个缺少主语的破句，修改方法是将其分成两个句子，并将后面的句子加上主语，即将宾语“the public”提到前面作主语，同时谓语部分也相应地改为 be overly anxious for.13.James Joyces Ulysses, a long and complicated novel and which is on our reading list, has been banned by the school board.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(Jam

36、es Joyces Ulysses, which is a long and complicated novel, and which is on our reading list, has been banned by the school board.)解析：解析 这道题错误出在错误的平行结构。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。如果意思上并列的成分用不同等的语法形式来表达，就破坏了平行结构。这是一个含有多项平行的句子，在多项平行句中，把一组词组连续地排列起来，使意义与结构均保持平行，这样才能结构对称美观。在这句话中，作主语同位语的是一个名词短语，又有一个定语

37、从句修饰主语，结构不对称，所以要把名词短语也改为定语从句。14.The teacher assigned the homework to the students that was too difficult.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(The teacher assigned the students the homework that was too difficult./The teacher assigned the homework that was too difficult to the students.)解析：解析 首先来看译文，这个老师给学生们布置的家庭作业太难了。该题

38、为修饰语错置导致的病句。根据题意，从句 that was too difficult 的先行词应为 the homework，而不是与它紧邻的 the students，修改时将先行词与从句靠近即可。15.To keep the girl students interested in getting in shape, an exercise program was set up for the summer months.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(To keep the girl students interested in getting in shape, they set up

39、an exercise program for the summer months.)解析：解析 本题属于垂悬修饰语错误，修改方法是找出句子隐含主语。该题中的不定式部分找不到逻辑主语，改正时要明确动作的实施者。三、B(总题数：3，分数：15.00)16.Choose the best topic sentence from the group below.
