公共英语等级考试(PETS)一级写作专题练习
1. 主动语态与被动语态的转换
【经典例题】
Many workers built this factory in 2001.
This factory ___ ____ by many workers in 2001.
【名师精解】本题的正确答案为:was built。正确解题的关键是被动语态的构成(built――be built)和过去时态(be动词要用was,与原句的built对应)。
2. 直接引语与间接引语的转换
【经典例题】
He asked me,“Where are you going?”
He asked me____ ____ ____ ____.
【名师精解】本题的正确答案为:where I was going。在本题中需要注意的是人称的变化(you——I)和特殊疑问句中语序(are you——I was)的变化,考生要兼顾,避免因顾此失彼造成的失分。
3.There be句型的变换
【经典例题】
The room is empty.
There is___ in the room.
【名师精解】本题的正确答案为:nothing。考生需要正确理解原句的意义,然后用there be 句型正确地表达出来。
4.It引导的形式主语句子与其他句型的转换
【经典例题】
He spent 4 hours in doing his homework yesterday.
It took him 4 hours____ _____ his homework yesterday.
【名师精解】本题的正确答案是:to do。本题考查的句型是It take s[B] some time to do sth..它表达的意思可以用spent ,cost 等词表达。
5.一些习惯用法的不同表示法
【经典例题】
They have studied English for 20 years.
They began to study English ____ ____ ____.
【经典例题】
He went to the class at 9 o’clock.
He didn’t go to the class_____ 9 o’clock.
【名师精解】正确答案是:5. 20 years ago 6.until. 前一道小题考查的是“20年前”的表达方式,用完成时和过去时两种不同的时态表达同一个意思。后一道小题考查的是时间的常用表达方式,考查 not until 句型的用法。
6.词或词组间的互换
【经典例题】
He spent 20 dollars buying this book.
He____20 dollars_____ this book.
【经典例题】
She does well in English.
She is ___ ____ ____English.
【名师精解】正确答案是:7.paid...for 8.good at。前一道小题考查的是“花费金钱或时间买东西或做事情”的表达方法,这是一个出现频率极高的考点,比如【经典例题6】同样也是同一考点,考生要给予足够的重视;后一道小题考查的是“擅长……”的表达方式,考查be good at 这一句型的用法。
