10、 the twentieth century, the heroes of Dreiser, of Fitzgerald, of Hemingway remain men. But one begins to detect a new theme emerging in some of these authors, especially in Hemingway: the theme of the male hero increasingly preoccupied with proving his virility (男子气概) to himself.

(150200 words)（分数：30.00）_英语写作基础自考题-6 答案解析(总分：90.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、B(总题数：10，分数：15.00)1.Iraqs fallen dictator Saddam Hussein refused to answer any questions or recognize any of
26、his crimes when he was brought to court. (periodic sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(When Iraqs fallen dictator Saddam Hussein was brought to court, he refused to answer any questions or recognize any of his crimes.)解析：解析 原句是一个含有 when 引导的时间状语从句的松散句，要转化为掉尾句。转化时只需要把when 引导的从句提前，而将表示句子中心意思的后半句移至句尾，在从句和主句之间插入逗号即
27、可。译文：当萨达姆侯赛因被带上法庭后，这位伊拉克已下台的统治者拒绝回答任何问题，也拒绝承认任何指控罪行。2.My roommate closed her books when it was nearly midnight. (simple sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(My roommate closed her books at midnight.)解析：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。在变化时要注意把时间状语从句变为表示时间的介词短语，这样就符合简单句无从句的要求了。3.When they meet after years
28、of separation, old friends are often shocked and embarrassed. (loose sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Old friends are often shocked and embarrassed when they meet after years of separation.)解析：解析 此题要求把掉尾句改为松散句，即把句子里主要思想或要说的东西从句尾移到句首。4.I spent almost two hours on the phone yesterday. I tried to find a garage
29、 to repair my car. (sentence with “to opener“)（分数：1.50）_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 首先来看译文，昨天我打了将近两小时电话。我想找一家修理厂修修我的汽车。原句为两个简单句，要求把它们变成以 to 开头的一个简单句。To 位于句首时，通常引出目的状语。分析原句，第二句是第一句的目的，主语均为 I，所以去掉 I tried，把 to find 短语作为句子的目的状语置于句首即可。5
30、.I like roller-skating. I like ice-skating better. (compound sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(I like roller-skating, but I like ice-skating better.)解析：解析 原句是两个简单句，要求变为一个并列句。简单句合并成并列句的一种方式是逗号加并列连接词。从句意来看，两句之间是比较关系，意思上有所转折，故可选用连词 but。译文：我喜欢滑旱冰，但我更喜欢滑冰。6.His valuable papers were destroyed in the fire. Tom call
31、ed the insurance company. (complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Tom called the insurance company after his valuable papers were destroyed in the fire.)解析：解析 原句为两个简单句，要求合并为一个复合句。复合句是含有主句和从句的句子。分析句意我们可以看出，第二句是句子中心意思所在。要把第一句转化成第二句的从句，可以从时间上考虑，在这里可用连词 after 引导。译文：珍贵文件被大火毁坏后，汤姆打电话给保险公司。7.The store had the ou
32、tdoor grill I wanted. The clerk wouldnt sell it to me. It was the sample. (compound-complex sentence)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(The store had the outdoor grill I wanted, but the clerk wouldnt sell it to me because it was the sample.)解析：解析 原句含有三个简单句，要求合并为一个并列复合句。从句意来看，前两句之间是转折关系，后两句之间是因果关系，故前两句之间用连词 but 引导，使这两句
33、合并成句子并列部分，后两句之间用连词 because 来引导原因状语从句，使这部分成为合并后句子的复合部分。8.Jim bought his wife a Christmas gift. He didnt tell her beforehand. (sentence with a modifying phrase)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(Jim bought his wife a Christmas gift without telling her before-hand./Without telling her beforehand, Jim bought his wife a Ch
34、ristmas gift./Not telling her beforehand, Jim bought Hs wife a Christmas gift.)解析：解析 首先来看译文，杰姆给他妻子买了一个圣诞礼物。他事先没有告诉她。原句为两个简单句，要求把它们变为一个含修饰语的句子。原句的两个句子中，第一句 bought a gift 是中心意思，而didnt tell her wife 是次要内容，所以可将第二句改为修饰语。两句话主语相同，所以可将 tell 短语改为 telling+宾语的形式，又因为它为否定形式，所以既可以改为 without telling+宾语，也可以改为Not te
35、lling 结构位于句首。9.He learned how to categorize and draw animals accurately. (parallel structrue)（分数：1.50）_正确答案：(He learned how to categorize and how to draw animals accurately.)解析：解析 原句是一个简单句，要求转换为平行结构。从句意和句子结构上看，能转化的只有 how to categorize and draw 这部分。由于平行结构要求同等语法功能的那些部分结构相同，所以可将其转换为how to categorize an
36、d how to draw 这种形式。10.Lakey is the 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：1.50）_正确答案：(Lakey is the most beautiful, intelligent and resourceful one of the group of girls.)解析：解析 首先来看译文，Lakey
37、 是这群女孩中最漂亮的，她也是最聪明和最机灵的。该题要求改为包含平行结构的句子。平行结构是指把两个以上意思并列的成分用同等的语法形式表达出来，使句子对称流畅，富有节奏感。本题中，the most beautiful，intelligent 和 resourceful 是 Lakey 的三个特点，三个词地位相同，均可作 Lakey 的定语，所以，只要将它们并列作 one(指 Lakey)的定语即可。二、B(总题数：5，分数：15.00)11.The rain might last for a while, clouds covered the entire sky.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：
38、(The rain might last for a while, for clouds covered the entire sky.)解析：解析 原句是一个串句，句子的每一个分句都可以直接表达一个完整的意思，但英语中两个独立的句子是不能仅仅用逗号隔开的，它们之间要么加连词，要么用句号或分号等方法连接。从句意上看，这两句话有很明显的因果关系，所以要将它们连在一起，必须有表示因果关系的连词 for 或者 as。12.He will have a chance to go home next weekend. And to meet his new stepfather.（分数：3.00）_正确
39、答案：(He will have a chance to go home next weekend, and to meet his new stepfather.)解析：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，有时会产生破句，修改这类破句可以采用把不定式加到它前面的句子里的方法。本题中 to meet his new stepfather 在句意上应为前面句子的目的状语部分，这样就将此两句合在一起了。13.Many people choose air transportation because it is fast, offers conv
40、enience, and it is not very expensive.（分数：3.00）_正确答案：(Many people choose air transportation because it is fast, convenient, and inexpensive.)解析：解析 这道题错误出在错误的平行结构。平行结构是把两个或两个以上意思并列的成分用同等的语法形式表达出来。如果意思上并列的成分用不同等的语法形式来表达，就破坏了平行结构。这是一个含有多项平行的句子，在多项平行句中，把一组词组连续地排列起来，使意义与结构均保持平行，这样才能结构对称美观。在这句话中，在描述乘飞机的好处时用到了系表结构、动宾结构，破坏了平行结构，所以只要把动宾结构的词组改为系表结构即可。14.That woman just bought her dog a milkshake in
