Ⅰ.重写句子
Revise the following sentences according to the requirement.
1.
The Irish ambassador bid us farewell when the party ended. (simple
sentence)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
The Irish ambassador bid us farewell at the end of the party.
[解析] 原句是一个含有由when引导的时间状语从句的复合句,要求变为简单句。简单句中不含有从句,故在转换时我们要把when引导的从句改为意义上相同的介词短语,本题可以把从句转换为at the end of the party。
2.
The old lady takes courses in painting and music instead of looking
after her grandkids. (periodic sentence)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
Instead of looking after her grandkids, the old lady takes courses in
painting and music.
[解析] 松散句大都可以通过把状语或状语从句移至句首的方法来改成掉尾句,本题是介词短语做状语。
3.
The cloud gets longer and gets closer to the ground. It begins to
pull up dirt from the ground. (complex sentence)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
As the cloud gets longer and gets closer to the ground, it begins to
pull up dirt from the ground.
[解析] 原句是两个简单句,要求合并为复合句。复合句是含有主句和从句的句子。题干中两句的信息重点在第二句,所以第二句应在合并后的句子巾作主句。而第一句可以在时间意义上和第二句联系起来,可以把其转化为由as引导
的从句,表示一种时间上的伴随关系。译文:随着云层越来越厚,离地面越来越近,它开始越来越多地和地面上的粉尘相结合。
4.
It was at the entrance to the valley. They heard the sound of a
trickling stream. It was the first stream they had seen for days.
(long sentence)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
At the entrance to the valley, they heard the sound of a trickling
stream, the first stream they had seen for days.
[解析] 原句是三个简单句,要求变为一个长句。简单句变为长句时要注意采用合理的句子结构。到底采用并列式、复合式,还是并列复合式需要考生根据句子意思来判断。本题在处理这个问题时,由于第一句的核心意思是at the
entrance to the valley介词短语表地点。故将第一句用介词短语表示,而最后一句的核心词为stream,是对第二句中a trickling stream的修饰限定,可用非限制性定语从句来表示。译文:在山谷的入口处,他们听到了咕咕的溪流声,这是他们几天来第一次看到的溪流。
5.
It's true whether you believe it or not. (periodic sentence)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
Whether you believe it or not, it's true.
[解析] 原句是一个含有whether引导的让步状语从句的松散句,要求转变为掉尾句。只需要把whether引导的从句放于句首,而原主句后移即可,这样就可在开头造成悬念,吸引读者读到最后才知道完整的意思。
6.
Last night I studied until 2 a.m. I have an exam today. (compound
sentence)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
Last night I studied until 2 a.m., for I have an exam today.
[解析] 原句是两个简单句,要求变为并列句。简单句合并成并列句的一个方法是用逗号加并列连接词。本题即采用这种方式。由于前后两句是因果关系,故选用并列连词for,同时将两句中间的句号改为逗号。
7.
At the official launch (发布会) of Beatrix Porter's Peter Rabbit, the
invited children will participate in the singing and dancing session.
They will enjoy storytelling of the tales. (parallel structure)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
At the official launch(发布会)of Beatrix Porter's Peter Rabbit, the
invited children will participate in the singing and dancing session,
and will enjoy storytelling of the tales.
[解析] 本题由两个简单句组成。第一个句子意为“在Beatrix Porter的Peter Rabbit的官方发布会上,受邀的孩子们会参加唱歌和跳舞的环节”。第二句的意思是“他们会很喜欢讲故事”。前后两个句子中的主语是相同的,都是“the invited children”,而前后两个句子之间的逻辑关系是并列,所以要将这两个句子转换成一个平行结构,只要将第二句中的主语去掉,用连词and连接两个谓语部分即可。
8.
We still have a lot of work to do. We should hurry up. We could not
finish it as planned. (**plex sentence)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
Since we still have a lot of work to do, we should hurry up or we
could not finish it as planned.
[解析] 将三个或三个以上的简单句合并为并列复合句时,最重要的是要理清句子间的关系并选择相应的连接词。原句是三个简单句,第一句和第二句之间是因果关系,可用连词since引导。第二句和第三句是转折关系,可用or引导。译文:我们仍有很多工作要做,所以我们必须加紧,要不然就不能按计划完成了。
9.
I sat in the front row, but I did not get his words. (**plex
sentence)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
I sat in the front row, but I did not get what he said.
[解析] 原句是一个并列句,要求转化为并列复合句。原句两个句子之间已是并列关系,由于前句要想变为复合结构比较困难,故我们将后句的his words转换为其相应宾语从句形式的what he said即可。
10.
The house had been burglarized. Smith couldn't sleep soundly for
several months. (complex sentence)
SSS_TEXT_QUSTI
分值: 1.5
答案:
Smith couldn't sleep soundly for several months, since the house had
been burglarized.
[解析] 原句是两个简单句,要求合并为一个复合句。复合句是含有主句和从句的句子。本题的主句是后半句,这点比较容易判断,关键是前半句(即从句)连接河的选用。从句意来判断,前句在时间上先于后句,故可用连词since引导。译文:自从房子被盗以来,史密斯有几个月不能好好睡觉。
Ⅱ.改写病句
Correct the errors in the following sentences.
1.
My brother's house is on Alp Street. Which is getting new sewers next
week.
SSS_FILL
分值: 3
答案:My brother's house is on Alp Street, which is getting new sewers
next week.
[解析] 本题是由从属连词引起的破句。根据句意,这里which指第一句的Alp
Street,这样,由which引导的只能是从句,它需要依附于它前面的主句才能存在;修改时应将句号换为逗号,which首字母小写,使后半句成为前句Alp
Street的非限制性定语从句。
2.
We are planning. To build a reservoir here.
SSS_FILL
分值: 3
答案:We are planning to build a reservoir here.
[解析] 本题是由不定式引起的破句。当动词不定式符号to出现在一个词组的开头或靠近开头时,有时候就会产生破句。修改这类破句,可以用把它加到前
