Will that be fine for you? Good news is that a exhibition of Chinese paintings are to be held this weekend. Works by ma

37、ny nationwide famous painter will be included, among who Qi Baishi is the most famous in China. A visit there will surely help you better understand Chinese paintings. Looking forward to your earliest reply. 答案: 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文, 因为学校安排出现变化, 作者无法按照原来约好的安排和对方讨论中国画。作者提出把约定改在下周四下午相同的时间并告知对方本周末有中国画展的信息。1.

38、 【解析】第一句 andbut。考查连词。句意: 我讨厌说对不起, 可是学校安排有一个变化。前后句是转折关系, 固定表达“I hate to say sorry, but. . . ”, 意为“我讨厌说对不起, 但是”。所以要把and改为but。2. 【解析】 第二句 able前面加上be。考查固定短语。句意: 所以我担心我不能按照原先约定好的和你讨论中国画。助动词wont后加动词原形, 固定短语be able to do sth. (能够做某事), 该短语在句中作谓语, 所以要在able前面加be。3. 【解析】第三句 sinceresincerely。考查副词。句意: 因为突然的改变导致的

39、不便, 我真诚地向你道歉。在英语里副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子。而形容词通常作定语、表语修饰名词、代词。句中应该使用副词修饰谓语动词, 所以要把sincere改为sincerely。4. 【解析】第三句causingcaused。考查非谓语动词。名词inconvenience与动词cause构成被动关系, 要用过去分词在句中作定语。所以要把causing改为caused。5. 【解析】第四句suggestedsuggest。考查时态。句意: 因此我建议把约会从本周末下午3点推迟到下周星期四下午3点。全文都使用一般现在时描述目前的事情, 本句也要使用一般现在时, 所以要把sug

40、gested改为suggest。6. 【解析】第四句删除in。考查固定用法。next后面接某个名词可以单独作时间状语, 不需要介词。本句中next Thursday单独作状语, in是多余的。所以要删除in。7. 【解析】第六句 aan。考查不定冠词。句意: 好消息是一场中国画展将在本周末举行。句中名词exhibition是以元音音素开头, 要用不定冠词an修饰, 所以要把a改为an。8. 【解析】第六句areis。考查主谓一致。本句主语是单数名词短语an exhibition of Chinese paintings, 谓语动词应该使用单数形式, 所以要把are改为is。9. 【解析】第七句 painterpainters。考查名词单复数。句意: 很多全国著名的画家的作品也被包括在内。形容词many修饰可数名词复数形式。10. 【解析】第七句 whowhom。考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是many nationwide famous painters, 关系代词whom指代先行词作介词among的宾语, 非限制性定语从句中作宾语只能用whom。
