114、:茶是英国的国饮。此处drink是名词,意思是“酒,饮料”,由形容词修饰,nation是名词,其形容词是national“国家的,民族的”。故把nation改成national。4.考查名词的单复数。句意:每个男人、女人和10岁以上的儿童平均每天喝4杯以上,或每年大约1500杯。根据Every man, woman可知,and后面的名词应该用单数形式。故把children改成child。5.考查主谓一致。句意:世界上大约30%的茶叶出口到伦敦。这里在说一个客观事实,所以句子用一般现在时。此处是百分数作主语,其中心词是tea,是不可数名词,所以后面的谓语动词用动词的第三人称单数形式。故把make
115、改成makes。6.考查形容词最高级。句意:英国是世界上最大的茶叶进口国。句中by far修饰最高级,再根据定冠词the,可知这里用形容词最高级。故把larger改成largest。7.考查宾语从句。句意:第二幅图向你展示了这里的茶叶在出售前是如何品尝的。动词show后面是how引导的宾语从句,表示“如何”,而that只起引导作用,没有词义。故去掉how前面的that。8.考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意:不同种类的茶叶被摆放在一个长桌上,在出售之前由有经验的品茶师品尝。此处动词lay的意思是“摆放,安置”,是及物动词,和句子主语Different types of tea之间是被动关系,用一般
116、现在时的被动语态。故把laying改成laid。9.考查表语从句连接词。句意:品茶师通常在喝茶时加牛奶,因为这是大多数英国人喝茶的方式。此处表示“怎样”喝茶,而不是“为什么”喝茶。故把why改成how。10.考查形容词性物主代词。句意:品茶师通常在喝茶时加牛奶,因为这是大多数英国人喝茶的方式。根据从句主语the majority of British people,可知是复数概念,所以后面的形容词性物主代词也要用复数形式。故把its改成their。第二节 书面表达52. 假设你叫李华,你们学校英语戏剧俱乐部的外籍指导老师Peter 因为疫情滞留英国,作为俱乐部负责人,你给Peter 发邮件,表
