Dear Barbara,
How are you? Today I've got a wonderful news to tell you. I have admitted to Berkely school in California. More than 3,000 students took exams for it, but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. Therefore, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me going there.They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid that we will feel homesick.They can't imagine so young a girl like me live alone.They advise me to choose a university near my home instead.Then I would be able to continue living with them.How can I persuade them to accept the fact what I have grown up?
Yours Faithfully,
Jane Blair

Answer 1

【答案】①去掉wonderful前的a ；②have后加been； ③was改为were ； ④Therefore改为However ； ⑤strong改为strongly； ⑥too改为so； ⑦we改为I； ⑧live改为living； ⑨would改为will； ⑩what改为that。

【解析】本文是一封书信， 是 Jane Blair请求Barbara说服Jane Blair的父母而写的一封求助信。
①考查冠词。由于news是不可数名词，所以前面不能用冠词a修饰，故把a去掉。

②考查现在完成时被动式。由于I和admit之间是被动关系，所以此处应该用被动语态，故在have后面加上been。

③考查主谓一致。主语I后面应该用谓语动词were，故把was改成were。
④考查副词。根据上下文可知此处表示“转折”，所以应该用However，故把Therefore改成However。

⑤考查副词。此处副词strongly用来修饰谓语动词are against，故把strong改成strongly。

⑥考查连词。so…that…固定搭配，表示“如此……以至于”，故把too改成so。

⑦考查代词。句意：他们害怕我会想家。故将改为I。

⑧考查动名词。imagine doing sth.固定搭配。所以imagine后面应该接动词ing形式，故把live改成living。

⑨考查情态动词。由于此处表达的是一般将来时的含义，所以应该用情态动词will，故把would改成will。

⑩考查关系代词。此处the fact后面接的从句是定语从句，用来修饰the fact，所以应该用关系代词that修饰，故把what改成that。
