(150 -200 words)（分数：30.00）_英语写作基础自考真题 2009 年 10 月答案解析(总分：92.00，做题时间：90 分钟)1.Alice likes to listen to classical music, and Jessi
23、ca likes to listen to classical music too.(simple sentence)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(Both Alice and Jessica like to listen to classical music)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为简单句。简单句是最基本的句子类型，至少是含有主语、谓语动词的独立的、有意义的句子。并列句是由两个以上的简单句合并而成的句子，它的合并方式通常是由逗号加一个连接词，或由句子衔接词、分号来连接两个分句。在此题中就是要把逗号去掉，把并列句的两个主语合并为简单句的一个主语，可用 bothand连接。2.The s
24、hutters are closed tightly to keep cool. It is burning heat outside. (compound sentence)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(The shutters are closed tightly to keep cool, for it is burning heat outside./It is burning heat outside, so the shutters are closed tightly to keep cool.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为并列句。两个或两个以上的简单句可以合并为并列句。合并
25、方式通常是由逗号加一个连接词(and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet)，或由句子衔接词、分号来连接两个分句。根据句意，因为外面很热，百叶窗被紧肾关上以保持凉爽，前后句子为因果关系，所以用连词 for 或者so 来引导。3.Susanna was eating the fish. She began to feel sick. (complex sentence)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(While Susanna was eating the fish, she began to feel sick.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为复合句。一个含有从句和主句的句子
26、便是复合句。主句部分常常是一句话的中心所在，是被强调的部分。从句部分由从属连词引导，从句一般放在句首，应用逗号与主句分开。根据句意，苏珊娜正在吃鱼；她开始感到不舒服，前面一句可以作为状语修饰后面的句子，所以应该把前面的句子改为 while 引导的状语从句。4.He hated evening self-study classes. The road to school was long. There were no lights lining the road. (compound-complex sentence)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(He hated evening self-s
27、tudy classes because the road to school was long and there were no lights lining the road.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为并列复合句。含有两个(或更多)简单句和一个(或更多)从句的句子是并列复合句。根据题意，第一、二句之间为因果关系；第二、三句之间为并列关系，且分量相当，所以可以在前两句之间插入从属连词 because，在后两句之间插入并列连词 and。5.The community college is making it easier for older students to attend coll
28、ege in a number of ways. (periodic sentence)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(In a nunlbet of ways, the community college is maidng it easier for older studento attend college.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为掉尾句。凡是把主要意思留到句尾的句子叫做掉尾句。所以此题中要把介词短语 in a number of ways 提前。6.I spent almost two hours on the phone yesterday. I tried to find
29、a garage to repair my car. (sentence with “to opener“ )（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(To find a garage to repair my Car, I spent almost two hours on the phone yesterday.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为使用动词不定式开头的句子。当动词不定式用作状语放在句首时，常用来表示目的。根据句意，我昨天花了几乎两个小时打电话，我试着去找个修理厂去修理我的车。后一句表示目的，可把后一句放在句首，且以动词不定式开头，并在动词不定式短语后加上逗号。7.Lakey is the
30、 most beautiful one of the group of girls. She is also the most intelligent and the most resourceful one of them. (sentence with parallel structure)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(Lakey is the most beautiful, the most intelligent, and the most resourceful one of the group of girls.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为平行结构。平行结构是把两个或两个以上
31、意思并列的成分用同等的语法形式表达出来。平行结构可以是单词、词组、从句，也可以是句子。此题中句子中都有形容词词组，可以把它们并列起来。8.Jim bought his wife a Christmas gift. He didn t tell her beforehand. (sentence with a modifying phrase )（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(Jim bought his wife a Christmas gift without telling her beforehand./Without telling her beforehand, Jim bought
32、 his wife a Christmas gift./Not telling her beforehand, Jim bought his wife a Christmas gift.)解析：解析 此题要求使用修饰性短语。在句子的开头或适当的位置可以使用修饰性短语，这样的修饰语既无主语，也无动词，常由介词如 on, in, under, over, between, from, with, by 以及现在分词和过去分词开头。它们紧紧位于它们所修饰的词之前或之后。此题可用现在分词开头，即以“Not telling”开头；也可用介词 without，放在句子开头或句中。9.The next da
33、y, Mrs. Harris got up and sat on the edge of her bed. Her head began to swim. She lay down again. (compound-complex sentence)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(The next day, when Mrs. Harris got up and sat on the edge of her bed, her head began to swim and she lay down again./The next day, Mrs, Harris got up and sat o
34、n the edge of her bed, but her head began to swim, so she laydown again.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为并列复合句。含有两个(或更多)简单句和一个(或更多)从句的句子是并列复合句。此题可以有两种理解方法：第一种是第一、二句之间为并列关系，且分量相当，第二、三句之间为因果关系，所以可以在前两句之间插入并列连词 but，在后两句之间插入从属连词 so。第二种是第一、二句之间为从属关系，且前一句可以修饰后一句作时间状语，第二、三句之间为并列关系，所以可以在第一句前插入时间连词 when，且句号改为逗号，在后两句之间插入 and。
35、10.His investment had been lost in the stock market crash. Smith became another person. (complex sentence)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(Smith became another person since his investment had been lost in the stock market crash./Since his investment had been lost in the stock market crash, Smith became another perso
36、n.)解析：解析 此题要求把句子改为复合句。一个含有从句和主句的句子便是复合句。主句部分常常是一句话的中心所在，是被强调的部分。从句部分由从属连词引导。根据句意，他的投资在证券市场行情暴跌中丧失，他变成了另一个人。前后两句可由从属连词 since 连接，表示“自从以后”。11.There is a very beautiful garden on campus, that is nay favorite spot.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(There is a very beautiful garden on campus, which is my favorite spot./Ther
37、e is a very beautiful garden on campus. That is my favorite spot.)解析：解析 此题是一个串句。串句是一种错句，即在没有连接词或标点符号的情况下，将两个独立的单句串在一起。有的串句仅将两个单句用逗号隔开，犯了“逗号割裂”的错误。本题就是犯了“逗号割裂”错误。改正串句主要有 3 种方法：(1)句号和大写；(2)逗号和连接词；(3)使用分号。在此题中，可以用句号和大写这种方法，也可以把后句看成是非限制性定语从句，把 that 改成 which，修饰先行词garden。12.She closed her eyes. Thinking b
38、ack through the years of being mother, wife, friend, daughter, and sister.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(She closed her eyes, thinking back through the years of being mother, wife, friend, daughter, and sister.)解析：解析 此题是一个 ing 分词引起的破句。当 ing 分词处于一组词的首位或靠近首位时，就有可能出现破句。这样的句子缺少主语或缺少谓语动词的一部分，语义不完整。改正这类破句的方法有三个：(1)让破句与其
39、前或其后的句子连接起来，使语义完整；(2)增添主语，把 ing 部分变为动词的正确形式；(3)把 being 改为 be 的恰当形式。此题可以用逗号让破句与其前的句子连接起来，使语义完整。13.Wading through the stream, a rock cut one of my bare feet.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(When I waded through the stream, a rock cut one of my bare feet.)解析：解析 此题是一个由垂悬修饰语引起的病句。垂悬修饰语即修饰语在句中找不到逻辑上被修饰的对象。改正垂悬修饰语的方法有两种：(1)明确动作的实施者，使主语成为垂悬部分所修饰的对象；(2)将省略句或分词词组扩展成从句。此题中，wading 这一动作的实施者并不是 a rock，而 wading through the stream 便成了无依着的分词修饰语。对这样的垂悬修饰语错误，必须明确动作的实施者。14.His grades are not as satisfactory as Jim.（分数：3.00）_
