14、 and the asking price.He gave the man a cheque immediately.The cheque was never cashed.That evening the American adventurer died.For his part, Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain.However, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the

16、ccident, Murray decided to return to his homeland.On the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away.The now terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London.A lady he knew named Jane

28、r parents go away”呼应。3.a考查冠词。break意为“休息”,是可数名词,此处表泛指,故用不定冠词修饰。4.totally考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词,故用副词totally修饰形容词OK。5.surprises考查名词的数。surprise此处意为“意想不到的事”,是可数名词,且被a few修饰,故用复数形式。6.which考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为the spare bedroom, in which= where属于介词前置。7.tries/should tryin case引导的状语从句中,从句用虚拟语气,常用should+do的形式;也可以不用
29、虚拟语气,主从句时态一致。8.them考查代词。空处作谓语动词find的宾语,因此应用宾格形式。9.dangerous考查词性转换。修饰名词应用形容词,故用形容词dangerous在句子中作定语,与the most呼应。10.be kept考查动词语态。句子主语Knives与keep构成动宾关系,故用被动语态be kept。.短文改错J.K Rowling,the gifted creator of Harry Potter,came up the idea for Harry Potter while she was on a delayed train.She writes down he

34、”。描述发生在过去的行为动作用一般过去时态。write的过去时是wrote。envelope为可数名词,又因以元音音素开头,因此不定冠词an。where引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Portugal,故用where。这是强调句型,强调时间状语only in 1997,故when改为that。Though引导让步状语从句,之后是主句,并列连词but多余。of all ages表示“所有年龄段的”,作readers的定语。句型It is claimed that.意为“据称”。a renewed后接名词形式。a renewed interest意为“重燃的兴趣”。to the pleasure of sb.用副词much修饰。
