LiuDan[解析]本文要求寫一封邀請函。邀請函的格式與普通信件一樣，應注意寫信時間位于開頭右上角，而一般情況下，寫信人位于左下角。這類文章通常包括以下幾個要素：(1)邀請人的自我介紹；(2)邀請的事由；(3)邀請時間、地點等；(4)邀請人的致謝。

Similarly,inthedepthoftheoccan,thereisalargevarietyofbeingsaswell.[解析]本段的大意為：雨林實際上由五個不同的層組成，每層都充滿生命的跡象。在雨林的深色地表生存著各種生物，從最小的昆蟲和蜘蛛到食蟻獸。在地表以上幾英尺處是灌木和幼苗層，它們在濃密的陰影處努力地生長。更高一層的是高大樹木的樹葉下的陰涼地帶，此處常有甲蟲、蛇和青蛙在蕨類植物和藤本植物上爬行。雨林的頂端樹冠處苔蘚叢生，而且棲息著很多鳥、蛇和猴子。穿過樹冠向陽光處看是位于最高層的一些參天大樹，很多鳥類像色彩鮮艷的紅、藍、黃羽毛相間的鸚鵡都棲息于此。根據本段大意可知，“Tropicalrainforestshavethemostvariedcollectionofplantsintheworld.”和“Similarly,inthedepthoftheocean,thereisalargevarietyofbeingsaswell.”與本段主題無關，不符合段落統一性的要求，故可刪除。25.參考答案：OnebrightsummermorningtheSheepandtheRatwereoutontheriverbank,watchingtheworldgoby.[解析]本題要求把句子改寫成含有一個修飾短語的句子。題目中的第二句可以轉換為分詞短語，來作狀語修飾第一個句子。因為其邏輯主語和謂語動詞之間是主動關系，故應使用動詞的現在分詞。26.參考答案：ChoosetIlebesttopicsentencefromthegroupbelow.Writetheletterofyourchoiceintheblankprovided.

TopicSentence：C[解析]主題句是段落中表達中心思想的句子，它告訴讀者這段話講的是什么，統率全段，所以往往是一個段落中最概括、最重要的話語。主題句的中心限制一段話的內容范圍，范圍太大或者太小，都會使作者無法展開段落。必須要通過限制性的詞語將內容范圍限制到一定程度，因此主題句應包括主題和限制性詞語。在此題中，A項的范圍太大；B項的范圍太小，無法再展開陳述；D項的限制性詞語太多，無法把內容范圍限制到一定程度。只有C項概括全面，范圍適中，應為主題句。27.參考答案：Whenforeignerscometoanothercountry,theymaysufferfromcultureshock.[解析]本題考查將句子改寫為復合句。題目中第一句句首添加連接詞“when”，將首句轉換成時間狀語從句，與后句一起組成復合句。28.參考答案：Whileshewaseatingbreakfast,shebegantofeelsick.[解析]此題要求把句子改為復合句，復合句要求句子含有主句和從句，主句部分通常是一句話的中心部分；從句部分由從屬連詞引導，從句一般放在句首，并用逗號與主句隔開。選擇恰當的從屬連詞是關鍵，從句意和ing分詞作狀語可以看出要選擇表示時間段的從屬連詞while。29.參考答案：Bythevendingmachine,hewasstaringatthegirlwearingdarkglasses.[解析]譯文：在自動售貨機旁，他盯著那個戴墨鏡的女孩。本題屬于修飾語錯置引起的病句。根據句意，wearingdarkglasses應修飾thegirl，而bythevendingmachine，則既可以修飾主語he，也可以修飾賓語thegirl，所以把bythevendingmachine提前，讓wearingdarkglasses緊挨著它修飾的名詞。30.參考答案：IndependenceHallinPhiladelphiaisnowrestored,butfiftyyearsagoitwasinbadshape./FiftyyearsagoIndependenceHallinPhiladelphiawasinbadshape,anditisnowrestored.[解析]第1句話意為“費城的獨立大廳在當今被重建了”。第2句意為“五十年前它損壞得很嚴重”。可見，兩個簡單句的意思，同等重要，不存在孰重孰輕的情況，而且存在時間上的順承關系，應用并列連詞and.31.參考答案：Smithforgothisweddinganniversaryforthetenthstraightyear,andhiswifewasextremelyangry,soshemadehimspendaweeksleepingontheporch./BecauseSmithforgothisweddinganniversaryforthetenthstraightyear,hiswifewasextremelyangry,andshemadehimspendaweeksleepingontheporch./BecauseSmithforgothisweddinganniversaryforthetenthstraightyear,hiswifewassoangrythatshemadehimspendaweeksleepingontheporch.[解析]譯文：史密斯連續10年都忘記了他的結婚紀念日。史密斯的妻子非常生氣。她懲罰史密斯睡門廊一個星期。原句是三個簡單句，要求變為并列復合句。簡單句變為并列復合句時，應注意哪些部分應并列，哪些部分應復合。從本題句子之間的邏輯關系上看，第一句和第二句是并列關系，前兩句與第三句是因果關系。本題有多個答案。比如第一二句可以用連詞and連接作并列部分；第三句和第一、二句用so來連接作復合部分。32.參考答案：Tolearntotypetakestimeandmoney.[解析]此題要求把松散句改為掉尾句，即把句子最關鍵的東西移至句尾。這句話的中心意思是ittakestimeandmoney，所以把它移至句尾就需要用不定式作主語。33.參考答案：Wehaveallusedphysicaldatabasessinceourgrammarschooldays.Grammarschoolisknowntodayasgradeschoolorelementaryschool.Ourclassyear-books,telephonebooks,shoeboxesfullofreceiptsdocumentingvariousbilkswehavepaid—thesearealldatabasesinoneformoranother,foradatabaseisnothingmorethanacollectionofinformarionorganizedtoallowretrieval(取回)ofthatinformationincertainways.Anyonewhoiswellorganizedhasabetterchanceofsucceccdingincollegeorinthebusinessworld.[解析]本段話的大概意思是：我們從上語法學校起就開始使用物理數據庫了。語法學校在今天稱為年級學校或小學。我們的班級年鑒、電話簿和裝滿了收據的鞋盒——這些都是不同形式的數據庫，因為一個數據庫也不過是可以用某種方式取回整理好的信息的一種形式而已。任何一個善于規劃的人都有更大的希望在大學或商業界中獲得成功。本段的主題是數據庫的特點，而第二句和末句與此無關，故可刪除。34.參考答案：

LiuDan[解析]本文要求寫一封抱怨信，抱怨信的內容應包括：(1)具體說明所發生的問題以及給寫信人造成的影響；(3)要求采取補救措施解決問題。寫抱怨信時要有理有據，應避免便用粗魯和嘲諷的言辭。
