Dear Abbly,
How are you? Today I’ve got a wonderful news to tell you. I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. One hundred and twenty students take exams for it, but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. Therefore, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me. They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid that I will feel lonely. They can’t imagine a girl so young living alone. They advise me to studying in the capital instead. Then I’ll be able to continue living with him. How can I persuade them to accept the fact what I have grown up?
Best wishes,
Jane
【答案】
【1】a去掉
【2】加入been
【3】take改为took
【4】was改为were
【5】Therefore改为However
【6】strong改为strongly
【7】too改为so
【8】studying改为study
【9】him改为them
【10】what改为that
【解析】
试题分析:
【1】a去掉 本句中的名词news是一个不可数名词,不能用a修饰。
【2】加入been 本句是被动语态,澳大利亚的一所大学向我提供一份奖学金。对于我来说,是被提供奖学金。
【3】take改为took 句意:120名学生参加了开始,只有一小部分人被选中,我是其中之一。学生们参加奖学金考试是过去发生的事情,所以使用一般过去时的时态。
【4】was改为were 本句的主语是a few,谓语动词应该使用复数形式were。
【5】Therefore改为However 我获得了奖学金,但是我的父母亲很不高兴。上下文之间是转折关系,所以使用however。
【6】strong改为strongly 本句使用副词strongly在句中做状语修饰谓语部分。句意:他们强烈反对我们。
【7】too改为so 本句是固定句式so…that…如此…以至于…;他们说那个学校太远了以至于他们一整年看不到我,并且他们担心我会感觉孤单。
【8】studying改为study 固定结构advise sb to do sth建议某人做某事;他们建议我在首都学习。
【9】him改为them 本句中使用them代替parents。Him只能指代单数。
【10】what改为that 本句是一个同位语从句,对前面的名称the fact的内容进行解释说明,that在句中不充当任何成分,只起引导连接的作用。
【题目】请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。
In Greek mythology, the Trojan(特洛伊) War was started against the city of Troy by the Greeks after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. The war is one of the most important events in Greek mythology and has appeared in many works of Greek literature, most notably through Homers(荷马) Iliad. The Iliad relates a part of the last year of the siege(包围) of Troy; the Odyssey describes the journey home of Odysseus, one of the war’s heroes. Other parts of the war are described in a cycle of epic poems(史诗), which have survived through fragments. The war provided material for Greek tragedy and other works of Greek literature, and for Roman poets including Virgil and Ovid.
The war originated from a quarrel between the goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, after Eris, the goddess of strife and discord(不和谐), gave them a golden apple marked “for the fairest”. Zeus sent the goddesses to Paris, who judged that Aphrodite, as the “fairest”, should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen, the most beautiful of all women and wife of Menelaus, fall in love with Paris, who took her to Troy. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and the brother of Helen’s husband Menelaus, led an expedition of Greek troops to Troy and besieged the city for ten years because of Paris’ insult. After the deaths of many heroes the city fell to the ruse(策略) of the Trojan Horse. The Greeks slaughtered(大屠杀) the Trojans and desecrated(亵渎) the temples, thus earning the gods’ great anger. Few of the Greeks returned safely to their homes.
The ancient Greeks treated the Trojan War as an historical event which had taken place in the 13th or 12th century BC, and believed that Troy was located in modern-day Turkey near the Dardanelles. As of the mid-19th century, both the war and the city were widely believed to be non-historical. In 1868, however, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann met Frank Calvert, who convinced Schliemann that Troy was at Hissarlik; this claim is now accepted by most scholars. They believe that there is a historical core to the tale. However, whether there is any historical reality behind the Trojan War is still an open question.
