22、c sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(When I was on my way home, I saw a rabbit right under the tree.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为掉尾句。掉尾句要求把句子的中心意思放在句末。这句话的中心部分是“I saw a rabbit right under the tree”，把它放在句尾即可。2.At 29, he became a general of the Red Army. (loose sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(He became a general of the Red Army at

23、 29.)解析：解析 此题要求把掉尾句改为松散句，即把句子里主要思想或要说的东西从句尾移到句首。这句话的主要思想是 he became.，所以把时间状语放后即可。3.Your uncle married my aunt. He is rich. She is poor. (simple sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Your rich uncle married my poor aunt.)解析：解析 原句含有三个简单句，要求转化为一个简单句。从题意看，第二句是对第一句主语 uncle的解释，第三句是对第一句宾语 aunt 的解释，因此转换时可把后两句的形容词分别用在各自所

24、解释的主语和宾语前做定语即可。4.A high mountain stands in the east. A large river flows in the west. (compound sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(A high mountain stands in the east, and a large river flows in the west.)解析：解析 原句含有两个简单句，要求合并为一个并列句。简单句在合并为并列句时常用的一个方法是在二者之间插入逗号和并列连词。从句意来看两个句子为并列关系，故选用连词 and。译文：一座高山矗立在东面，一条大河位于西

25、面。5.We cannot settle our differences without violence. Our so-called civilized society will not survive. (complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(If we cannot settle our differences without violence, our so-called civilized society will not survive.)解析：解析 原句是两个简单句，要求合并为复合句。第一句意为“我们不能不用暴力解决我们之间的分歧。”第二句意为“我们

26、所谓的文明社会将不会存在。”显然第一句从意思上来说是第二句成立的条件，故选用 if 作连词引导第一句，作第二句的条件状语从句。6.He felt that the world had come to an end when he wasnt chosen for the football team. (periodic sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(When he wasnt chosen for the football team, he felt that the world had come to an end.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为掉尾句，所以只需把中心意

27、思“he felt that the world.”移至句尾即可。7.I like your Chevrolet. It is green. It is two-door. (simple sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(I like your green, two-door Chevrolet.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为简单句。简单句只能有一套主谓结构。It is green 和 It is two-door 都是修饰 Chevrolet 的，且作用相同，都可改为定语。8.Tina bought a new car only last week. It has fau

28、lty brakes and a leaky exhaust system. (complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Tinas new car that she bought only last week has faulty brakes and a leaky exhaust system.)解析：解析 原句是两个简单句，要求合并为复合句。第一句的意思是“提娜上周买了一辆新车。第二句的意思是车的刹车和排气系统都出了问题。复合句是含有主句和从句的句子。从题意看，第一句讲过去的事情，第二句讲现在的情况，所以第二句比较适合做主句，而第一句可以转换成修饰主句主语的定语

29、从句。9.You decide to buy a new car. Read the latest consumer reports. You may save yourself a great deal of time and trouble. (compound-complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Before you decide to buy a new car, please read the latest consumer reports, so you may save yourself a great deal of time and troubl

30、e.)解析：解析 原句由三个简单句组成，要求合并为并列复合句。细读原句子发现，第一句适合做合并后句子中的从句部分(由 before 引导时间状语从句)，二、三句在句意上是顺承关系，适合用并列句式，可在中间插入分号或并列连词。译文：在你决定买新车前，去读一下最新的消费者报道，那样你可以省去很多时间，避免很多麻烦。10.Jack applied for a job. He went for an interview. He was hired. (parallel structure)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Jack applied for a job, went for an inter

31、view, and was hired.)解析：解析 原句含有三个简单句。要求合并成平行结构。原句主语均为同一人，而谓语动词不同，故合并时可以将谓语部分并列。译文：杰克申请了工作，参加了面试，最后被录用了。二、B(总题数：5，分数：15.00)11.In summer, Juanna didnt love traveling in Rome she felt it was too hot there.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(In summer, Juanna didnt love traveling in Rome. She felt it was too hot there./In

32、summer, Juanna didnt love traveling in Rome because she felt it was too hot there.)解析：解析 串句就是错误地将两个独立的分句(两套独立的主谓结构)串在一起，不用连词或标点，误将它们当成一个句子。本题是一个串句。修改串句有四种方法：(1)用句号将其分成两个句子，即在两个意思之间插入句号和大写字母；(2)用并列连词(and，but，for，or，nor，so，yet)连接两个句子，连词之前可加逗号；(3)用分号连接两个句子；(4)用从属连词把一个分句转化为从句，修饰或限定主句。12.If you have to d

33、rive on rocks and mud. You need a heavy-duty tire.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(If you have to drive on rocks and mud, you need a heavy-duty tire.)解析：解析 这是一个由从属连词引起的破句。从属连词是用来引导从句的，一个句子中仅有从句是不完整的，语法不合乎要求，语义也不完整，修正这类破句的办法是为其增补主句，也可以通过删除从属连词，使句子的前后两部分通过其他方式来连接。此题由于已经有主句，所以只需去掉句号，加上主句即可。13.You should strive to coope

34、rate with your colleagues to bring about change, for improving communication and professional development.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(You should strive to cooperate with your colleagues to bring about change, to improve communication, and to further professional development.)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

35、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。在此题中，“to bring about change”,“for improving communication and professional development”都是目的状语，应构成平行结构，因此把短语 for 改成不定式短语以达到平行效果。14.Shakespeare wrote comedies, tragedies, romances, and the plays

36、 which were based on historical events.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(Shakespeare wrote comedies, tragedies, romances, and history/historical plays.)解析：解析 修饰语错置是因修饰语与被修饰语之间摆放的位置不恰当(通常是相互之间间隔得太远)而造成的语义模糊现象。为避免修饰语错置，修饰语和被修饰的词要尽量靠近。本题中 which 引导的定语从句从语义上讲修饰的是 the plays，但句子的结构似乎先行词可以理解为 comedies,.the plays。所以修改时将从句改为形容

37、词 historical 置于它所修饰的 plays 前。15.Relieved of your responsibilities at your job, your home should be a place to relax.（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 本题属于垂悬修饰语导致的病句。垂悬修饰语指修饰语在句中找不到逻辑上被修饰的对象。本句中 relieved 这个形容词表示感到宽慰的、放心的，这个心理状态的主

38、语并不是 your home，所以relieved of.便成了无依着形容词短语，对这样的垂悬修饰语错误，必须明确心理状态的主人或者动作的实施者。三、B(总题数：3，分数：15.00)16.Choose the best topic sentence from the group below. Write the letter of your choice in the blank provided. A. Jane is the most amusing friend Ive ever had. B. Jane is a friend of mine. C. I have many frie

39、nds. D. I and Jane became friends in 1998. Answer: _（分数：5.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：A）解析：解析 考查主题句的范围。选项 B 无法作为主题句，因为此句范围太窄，无法展开描述。而选项C 的范围又太宽泛，如果把“我有很多朋友”作为主题句，文章就需要一个一个的描述很多朋友，这是不可能的；D 项描述了一个具体事件，范围太小而不能充当主题句。只有 A 选项可以展开来写，作者可以描述 Jane 是如何有趣，为什么有趣等。答案为 A。17.Read the following paragraph and underline the topic sentence. The central symbol for Canada is undoubtedly survival, a multi-faceted and adaptable idea. For early explorers and settlers, it meant bare survival in the face of ho
