前后两句之间意义上存在转折关系,故用but连接。2.what whathadhappened是宾语从句,其中what在从句中作主语。3.which insidewhichwerevarietiesofbeautifulflowers是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,修饰先行词garden。4.removed haveallthesewildflowersremoved是havesth.done结构,表示“请人或让人做某事”。n5.than 由句中的lessbeautiful可知,该句使用了比较级结构,需用连词than。6.seriously 空格中所填单词在句中修饰谓语动词lookedat,故用serious的副词形式。7.hadfigured 从句谓语动词动作figureout发生在主句谓语动词动作realize之前,即表示“过去的过去”,故用过去完成时。8.patting pattingmegentlyontheshoulder是现在分词短语作状语,表示伴随情况,逻辑主语mymother与分词动作pat之间是逻辑上的主动关系。9.encouragement 空格中所填单词在句中作Thanksto的宾语,故用encourage的名词形式。10.of 根据be/feelproudof这一固定表达可知,此处应填介词of。Ⅱ.短文改错Inordertoincreasingparticipationinoutdoorexercises,ourschoolorganizedaactivity—climbingtheWestMountainonSeptember10.Themomentwearriveatthefootofthemountain,wesetoutforthetopinhighspirit.Weencouragedeachotherovercomedifficultiesinthecourseoftheclimb.Laughingandcheering,weeventuallyreachedthesummit,whenweweregreetedbythesunshineandfreshairs.Viewedfromthetop,thecitywasextremebeautiful.Thisactivitywasverybeneficialtous.Notonlydidwetakeabreakfromourheavyworkload,butalsowelearnedhowtocooperatewith.Therefore,westronglysuggestthatsimilaractivitiesareheldeveryyear.答案:第一句:increasing→increase;a→an第二句:arrive→arrived;spirit→spirits第三句:overcome前加to第四句:when→where;airs→air第五句:extreme→extremely第七句:去掉with第八句:are→beⅢ.书面表达假定上周五下午3点你班组织了1小时主题为“学会感恩”的班会活动。请为校刊的英语专栏写一篇报道,内容包括:1.活动主题及时间;2.活动过程;3.你的体会。n注意:1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考范文:LastFridayafternoon,we,studentsfromClass17,hadaclassmeetingwhosethemewasLearningtobeThankful.Themeetingstartedat3pmandlastedanhour.Firstofall,outteachertoldustwomovingstories,whichshowedathankfulheartisthegreatestvirtue.Andthenwehadadiscussionaboutwhatothershaddoneforus.Duringthediscussion,webegantorealisethatmanyhaddonesomuchforusandtheydeservedourunderstandingandthankfulness.Fromthisclassmeeting,Ilearnedtheimportanceofbeingthankful.AndI’vedecidedtobethankfulforeverythingIhaveinmylife.第一部分
