LiuDan[解析]本文要求写一封邀请函。邀请函的格式与普通信件一样，应注意写信时间位于开头右上角，而一般情况下，写信人位于左下角。这类文章通常包括以下几个要素：(1)邀请人的自我介绍；(2)邀请的事由；(3)邀请时间、地点等；(4)邀请人的致谢。

Similarly,inthedepthoftheoccan,thereisalargevarietyofbeingsaswell.[解析]本段的大意为：雨林实际上由五个不同的层组成，每层都充满生命的迹象。在雨林的深色地表生存着各种生物，从最小的昆虫和蜘蛛到食蚁兽。在地表以上几英尺处是灌木和幼苗层，它们在浓密的阴影处努力地生长。更高一层的是高大树木的树叶下的阴凉地带，此处常有甲虫、蛇和青蛙在蕨类植物和藤本植物上爬行。雨林的顶端树冠处苔藓丛生，而且栖息着很多鸟、蛇和猴子。穿过树冠向阳光处看是位于最高层的一些参天大树，很多鸟类像色彩鲜艳的红、蓝、黄羽毛相间的鹦鹉都栖息于此。根据本段大意可知，“Tropicalrainforestshavethemostvariedcollectionofplantsintheworld.”和“Similarly,inthedepthoftheocean,thereisalargevarietyofbeingsaswell.”与本段主题无关，不符合段落统一性的要求，故可删除。25.参考答案：OnebrightsummermorningtheSheepandtheRatwereoutontheriverbank,watchingtheworldgoby.[解析]本题要求把句子改写成含有一个修饰短语的句子。题目中的第二句可以转换为分词短语，来作状语修饰第一个句子。因为其逻辑主语和谓语动词之间是主动关系，故应使用动词的现在分词。26.参考答案：ChoosetIlebesttopicsentencefromthegroupbelow.Writetheletterofyourchoiceintheblankprovided.

TopicSentence：C[解析]主题句是段落中表达中心思想的句子，它告诉读者这段话讲的是什么，统率全段，所以往往是一个段落中最概括、最重要的话语。主题句的中心限制一段话的内容范围，范围太大或者太小，都会使作者无法展开段落。必须要通过限制性的词语将内容范围限制到一定程度，因此主题句应包括主题和限制性词语。在此题中，A项的范围太大；B项的范围太小，无法再展开陈述；D项的限制性词语太多，无法把内容范围限制到一定程度。只有C项概括全面，范围适中，应为主题句。27.参考答案：Whenforeignerscometoanothercountry,theymaysufferfromcultureshock.[解析]本题考查将句子改写为复合句。题目中第一句句首添加连接词“when”，将首句转换成时间状语从句，与后句一起组成复合句。28.参考答案：Whileshewaseatingbreakfast,shebegantofeelsick.[解析]此题要求把句子改为复合句，复合句要求句子含有主句和从句，主句部分通常是一句话的中心部分；从句部分由从属连词引导，从句一般放在句首，并用逗号与主句隔开。选择恰当的从属连词是关键，从句意和ing分词作状语可以看出要选择表示时间段的从属连词while。29.参考答案：Bythevendingmachine,hewasstaringatthegirlwearingdarkglasses.[解析]译文：在自动售货机旁，他盯着那个戴墨镜的女孩。本题属于修饰语错置引起的病句。根据句意，wearingdarkglasses应修饰thegirl，而bythevendingmachine，则既可以修饰主语he，也可以修饰宾语thegirl，所以把bythevendingmachine提前，让wearingdarkglasses紧挨着它修饰的名词。30.参考答案：IndependenceHallinPhiladelphiaisnowrestored,butfiftyyearsagoitwasinbadshape./FiftyyearsagoIndependenceHallinPhiladelphiawasinbadshape,anditisnowrestored.[解析]第1句话意为“费城的独立大厅在当今被重建了”。第2句意为“五十年前它损坏得很严重”。可见，两个简单句的意思，同等重要，不存在孰重孰轻的情况，而且存在时间上的顺承关系，应用并列连词and.31.参考答案：Smithforgothisweddinganniversaryforthetenthstraightyear,andhiswifewasextremelyangry,soshemadehimspendaweeksleepingontheporch./BecauseSmithforgothisweddinganniversaryforthetenthstraightyear,hiswifewasextremelyangry,andshemadehimspendaweeksleepingontheporch./BecauseSmithforgothisweddinganniversaryforthetenthstraightyear,hiswifewassoangrythatshemadehimspendaweeksleepingontheporch.[解析]译文：史密斯连续10年都忘记了他的结婚纪念日。史密斯的妻子非常生气。她惩罚史密斯睡门廊一个星期。原句是三个简单句，要求变为并列复合句。简单句变为并列复合句时，应注意哪些部分应并列，哪些部分应复合。从本题句子之间的逻辑关系上看，第一句和第二句是并列关系，前两句与第三句是因果关系。本题有多个答案。比如第一二句可以用连词and连接作并列部分；第三句和第一、二句用so来连接作复合部分。32.参考答案：Tolearntotypetakestimeandmoney.[解析]此题要求把松散句改为掉尾句，即把句子最关键的东西移至句尾。这句话的中心意思是ittakestimeandmoney，所以把它移至句尾就需要用不定式作主语。33.参考答案：Wehaveallusedphysicaldatabasessinceourgrammarschooldays.Grammarschoolisknowntodayasgradeschoolorelementaryschool.Ourclassyear-books,telephonebooks,shoeboxesfullofreceiptsdocumentingvariousbilkswehavepaid—thesearealldatabasesinoneformoranother,foradatabaseisnothingmorethanacollectionofinformarionorganizedtoallowretrieval(取回)ofthatinformationincertainways.Anyonewhoiswellorganizedhasabetterchanceofsucceccdingincollegeorinthebusinessworld.[解析]本段话的大概意思是：我们从上语法学校起就开始使用物理数据库了。语法学校在今天称为年级学校或小学。我们的班级年鉴、电话簿和装满了收据的鞋盒——这些都是不同形式的数据库，因为一个数据库也不过是可以用某种方式取回整理好的信息的一种形式而已。任何一个善于规划的人都有更大的希望在大学或商业界中获得成功。本段的主题是数据库的特点，而第二句和末句与此无关，故可删除。34.参考答案：

LiuDan[解析]本文要求写一封抱怨信，抱怨信的内容应包括：(1)具体说明所发生的问题以及给写信人造成的影响；(3)要求采取补救措施解决问题。写抱怨信时要有理有据，应避免便用粗鲁和嘲讽的言辞。
