22、n the center of the city with my friend Jack. The black bicycle attracted my eyes as soon as we went into the store. It looked so cool that I could hardly wait to ride it.

23、uldnt afford so an expensive one. Then I choose another one, which cost me only 200 yuan. It was not perfect, and it was much better than the old one.答案与解析1第一句:real改为really。修饰形容词,作状语,应用副词。2第二句:buy前加to。decide to do sth.“决定做某事”,是固定用法。3第三句:locating改为located。be located in “位于”,是固定短语,此处作定语,故用located。4第四句
24、:The改为A。第一次提到“一辆黑色自行车”,其前应用不定冠词。5第六句:shopkeepers改为shopkeeper。由下文的he可知,此处应用单数shopkeeper。6第七句:去掉for。charge作“向收费”讲,接双宾语,故for多余。7第七句:that改为which。非限制性定语从句的引导词在从句中作主语,指物,应用which。that不引导非限制性定语从句。8第八句:so改为such。修饰an expensive one应用such,so是副词,修饰形容词、副词等。9第九句:choose改为chose。文章讲的是发生在过去的事,应用一般过去时。10第十句:and改为but。此处
25、表示“虽然它不够完美,但是比那辆旧的好很多”,前后句是转折关系,故用but。.书面表达假设你是李华,你远在美国的笔友Jack对中国的春节很感兴趣,他来信询问有关情况。请你给他回一封电子邮件,简单介绍春节及中国人是如何过春节的。内容应包括如下要点:1春节在中国的地位;2春节持续的时间、春节来临前及期间人们的活动;3你对春节的态度。注意:1.可适当发挥使行文连贯,词数100左右;2开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。参考词汇:春节联欢晚会Spring Festival Gala EveningDear Jack,Thanks for your email.
