Answer 1

分析 高分句型：
句型一：
At present lines of nice buildings have been built to take the place of （1）the old and damaged houses built in the last century（2）．现在一排排漂亮的楼房取代了上个世纪建筑的破旧的房屋．
（1）take the place of 取代
（2）built in the last century为过去分词短语，充当houses的定语，相当于定语从句which were built in the last century．
句型二：
With the pollution under control（1），a beautiful water park has been built there，making it a popular entertainment place for the villagers（2）随着污染得到控制，一座漂亮的水上公园在这里建成，使得它成为村民欢迎的娱乐场所．
（1）under control得到控制；with the pollution under control随着污染得到控制，with的复合结构再这里做伴随状语．
（2）making it a popular entertainment place for the villagers使得它成为村民欢迎的娱乐场所；其中making为现在分词做结果状语，表示"自然而然的结果"；书面表达中运用分词做状语总是吸引眼球的亮点．

解答 In the past，the only approach to my village was a narrow mountain road，but now，a wide blacktop has been built．（道路的改善）At present lines of nice buildings have been built to take the place of the old and damaged houses built in the last century【高分句型一】（住房的改善）．The small river in front of my village was once badly polluted．With the pollution under control，a beautiful water park has been built there，making it a popular entertainment place for the villagers【高分句型二】（环境的变化）．My hometown has been getting more modern and beautiful．（总结）
I'm looking forward to your visit to my hometown．（期待来访）

点评 写作时首先审题要到位：审体裁、人称和时态；审要点．其次要考虑高分词语和句型的选用，从句、非谓语动词、倒装、强调句型等都是可考虑的高级句型；再次，运用关联词如besides、what's  more、moreover、for one thing …for another等，使文字更加流畅．
