113、所修饰的名词Chinese Music Festival之间是被动关系,应用其过去分词作后置定语。故将sponsor改为sponsored。3.考查名词。句意:至于我的歌唱表演,我有一些想法。分析句子可知,my singing后面应填名词performance作as for的宾语。故将perform改为performance。4.考查固定搭配。句意:有许多来自不同国家的人喜欢的中国歌曲。a number of“许多的;若干的”是固定搭配,修饰限定名词复数。故在number后加of。5.考查形容词。句意:我喜欢它是因为它精彩的主题和二胡伴奏,二胡是中国最著名的乐器之一。修饰名词theme,应用形
114、容词。故将wonderfully改为wonderful。6.考查主谓一致。句意:我喜欢它是因为它精彩的主题和二胡伴奏,二胡是中国最著名的乐器之一。分析句子可知,逗号后为非限制性定语从句,关系代词which替代先行词erhu,为单数,在从句中作主语,根据主谓一致,从句谓语动词用单数形式。故将are改为is。7.考查最高级。句意:我喜欢它是因为它精彩的主题和二胡伴奏,二胡是中国最著名的乐器之一。根据句意以及定冠词the可知,此处形容词famous应用最高级,one of the most famous Chinese instruments“中国最著名的乐器之一”是英语习惯用法。故在the后加mo
115、st。8.考查连词。句意:我想亲自用二胡伴奏,希望你能为我准备一把。后文“I hope you can prepare the one for me”是前文“Id like to accompany myself on erhu in person”的结果,也可以看作是并列关系。故将because改为so/and。9.考查形容词原级。句意:我希望能尽快见到你。“as+形容词(副词)原级 +as”是固定结构。故将sooner改为soon。10.考查不可数名词。句意:我相信我们在节日期间一定会玩得很开心。名词fun“享乐;乐趣”为不可数名词,没有复数形式。故将funs改为fun。第二节 书面表达(
