19、“Yuan, Ming and Qing”可知，该处指三个朝代，且 dynasty 为可数名词，故用复数形式。53The 考查冠词。北京城的中心是皇宫紫禁城。根据该句中的“of the city Beijing”可知，该处特指“北京城的中心” ，故用定冠词 The。4closed 考查形容词。根据句子结构和空后的名词“China”可知，空处修饰该名词，表示“闭关自守的” ，故用形容词。5their 考查代词。根据空后的名词短语“former neat arrangement”可知，空处修饰该名词短语，故用形容词性物主代词。6were improved 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。1949 年
20、中华人民共和国成立以后，胡同的状况得到了改善。该句主语为“hutong conditions”，和动词 improve 之间是被动关系，故用被动语态；因为主语“hutong conditions”为复数，且根据该句中的时间状语可知，该句介绍过去发生的事情，故用 were improved。7down 考查介词。但是近年来，许多胡同中的房子被拆毁，取而代之的是现代化的建筑。pull down 为固定搭配，意为“拆毁” 。8both 考查连词。both .and .为固定搭配，意为“两者都” 。9third 考查序数词。该处指“在北京市区的胡同中的房子占整个地区的三分之一” ，分数的分母用序数词，
21、故用 third。10have survived 考查动词时态。根据该句中的“still occupy”可知，该空表示过去的动作对现在产生的影响，故用现在完成时。练(二) 第四部分写作增分专练练规范(限时：40 分钟).应用文写作假定你是李华，你想邀请外教 John 在暑假期间到你的家乡参观游玩。请你给他写一封邮件，内容如下：1写信的目的；2告诉他你的打算；3希望他接受邀请。注意：1.词数 80 左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。参考范文：6Dear John，I am Li Hua, one of your students.
