But dont forget to write to me, will you?Edwin: No, never.答案与解析1should have/were to have/hadif引导的条件句表示对将来情况的虚拟，故谓语动词用should have/were to have
7、/had。2inin particular“特别地；尤其地”。3to spendinvite后用带to的动词不定式作补足语。4to visit根据“主语beadj.to do”结构可判断该空填不定式。5a泛指“一个非常美丽的地方”用不定冠词。6places根据上文可知，度假时她领我参观的地方不止一处，故可数名词place用复数形式。7was discovered由时间状语in the 1770s可知句子用一般过去时，再由Hawaii是discover这一动作的承受者可知用被动语态，故填was discovered。8eventually所给词在句中作状语，修饰全句，故填其副词形式eventua
