28、aw many people enjoying myself in the water, my fear was reducing. At last I joined in the swimmers. Now I still remember how wonderful I was swimming in the sea.答案与解析考查强调句。分析该句结构可知,该句使用了强调句结构,其被强调的部分是in a hot summer holiday,故将which改成that。考查冠词。 city为可数名词,该处表示“一个的城市”,表示泛指,故应加不定冠词a。考查时态。根据上句中“It was i
29、n a hot summer holiday that I visited Qingdao.”可知,该处叙述的是在之前暑假在青岛游玩的事,故用一般过去时。考查名词的单复数。根据该句中Wang Fei and Li Lei可知,作者是和两个朋友一起去了青岛游玩。friend为可数名词,故用复数形式。考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知,该句使用了with的复合结构;waves为with的宾语,后接宾语补足语;waves和动词come之间为逻辑上的主动关系,故用现在分词作宾语补足语。考查形容词。该句主语为表示“人”的代词I,此句表示“我感到焦虑”,故应将worrying改为worried;worryi
30、ng表示“令人担忧的”,修饰“事物”。考查连词。上句意为:面对汹涌的大海,我感到有点儿害怕,一开始几乎要放弃了。该句意为:当我看到许多人在海水里玩得很愉快时,我的恐惧感减少了。因此,两句间为转折关系。故用转折连词but。考查代词。enjoy oneself为固定搭配,意为“自得其乐;玩得愉快”,理解句意可知是许多人玩得愉快。故应将myself改为themselves。考查动词。 join sb.意为“加入,和一道”;而join in表示“参加活动”。考查副词。该处修饰动词swim,故用副词形式。.书面表达假定你是李华,你校书法社将于本周末举行社团活动。作为书法社社长,你想邀请外教Mr.Smit
