六、作文(1题)66.假定你是Helen，要写一封信给Julie，对她和她的丈夫昨日请你和你丈夫吃饭表示感谢，表示要回请他们，以答谢他们的盛情款待。

参考答案

1.A【句子大意】新打字机的价格是二手货的三倍。

2.D解析：从句中的问句主谓不倒装。从句的时态随主句。我想知道那辆车的价格。

3.A解析：根据上文提到“findone”，故下文中也应填one，表示泛指。

4.A解析：此题考查反意疑问句的用法。主句为祈使句，因此其反意疑问句用willyou。

5.B

6.C解析：本题考查词义的辨别。rise出现，put放下，raise提起，arise升高。

7.B

8.B考查反义疑问句。原句应是：youwouldthinkhehadhaveforgotten…反义疑问句的规则是陈述部分是肯定式，疑问部分应是否定式。Wouldthink表示推测，疑问部分也应选择would。选项B是正确的。【句子大意】你难道还认为他已经忘掉了，是吗?

9.B解析：本题考查固定搭配的用法。当否定词位于句前时，得出结论应用reach/achievein/arriveatconclusion，故选B。

10.C

11.B解析：encourage：鼓励、鼓舞；discourage：使泄气；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根据句意只有选B。

12.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意为“特别地”。

13.C解析：notonly…butalso连接主语时，谓语动词根据就近原则由butalso后的成分来决定。TomandMary是两个人，所以动词用复数形式。

14.C解析：副词so置于句首，句子应该用倒装语序，某人受伤用sb.beinjured来表示，故答案为C。

15.D

16.D

17.A

18.B

19.A解析：while意为“虽然”；as意为“因为”；if意为“如果”；since意为“因为”。根据题意选A。

20.C

21.B

36.Ⅵ．Writing2006年末最新颁布的《全国各类成人高等学校招生复习考试大纲(专科起点升本科)》对英语短文写作(第六部分)的要求为：一个小题，满分25分，要求考生根据所给题目或提出的条件(即情景)写出一篇100～120问的短文。同时还要求，在短文写作中，要考虑“文章的特定文体格式”。“根据所给题目或提出的条件”可意指英语命题作文写作，通常以论说文、说明文写作格式为主，内容一般涉及公众关注的话题；还可意指英语信函、便条写作，通常以英语信函写作中常用的“混合式”格式为主，内容一般涉及人们日常生活中的交往问题新大纲指的是后者。在具体短文写作时考生应注意以下方面：(1)避免使用“过分”词句，语言要简明扼要有些英语初学者会觉得，在英语短文写作中，使用的“大问”越多，水平就越高，这是一种不正确的看法，因为这会在英语短文写作中导致“过分”用词的问题。考生作文在内容上要能够做到紧扣命题或情景，应采取语言简明扼要的行文方式。下面列出一些在写作时提倡和不提倡使用的词语：括弧中的词语为提倡使用的词语

括弧中的词语为提倡使用的词语inregardto(about,concerning)

withregardto(about,concerning,on)inrelationto(toward,to)

inconnectionwith(about,of,in,on)onthepartof(for,among)

withreferenceto(on,about,concerning)inviewof(because,since)

intheeventof(if)inorderto(to)

onbehalfof(for)inaccordancewith(with,by)

bymeansof(with,by)inthecaseof(if,in)

inthematterof(in)intheamountof(for)

forthepurposeof(for)inthemajorityofinstances(usually)

inanumberofcases(some)onafewoccasions(occasionally)

inthetimeof(during)(2)不使用缩写形式等过于口语化的字词①一般不应使用缩写形式，如：不应使用"itdidn't”，而应使用“itdidnot”；不应使用"they've”，而应使用"theyhave"等。②一般不应使用表示犹豫不决的短语，如：er，um，well，youknow...，andsoonsoforth，andetc．等(3)避免中文式的“铺垫”“铺垫”、“迂回”或“画龙点睛”等写作方法在中文短文写作中无可非议，但不能使用在英语短文写作中。例如，中文信件的开头方式通常会是“你好!前日收到你的来信，深感欣慰。好久没有给你写信了。不知你的……如何?”等，此类句式不应在英语信函短文写作开头处使用。原因是，此种方式会浪费篇幅。考试中英语短文写作有字数限制，写得太长同样会被扣分。在进行信函短文写作时，考生应注意以下方面：(1)短文写作情景分析中文情景写作中需要直接表述和需要拓展表达的内容。(2)确定信函短文写作的谋篇布局信函短文写作的谋篇布局的含义为信函写作格式。信函短文写作采用的是英语信函写作中的“混合式”。(3)进行语言转换和拓展(4)信函短文合成61．参考范文DearClubManager,
