某岁生日需用序数词，根据句意结构和所给单词提示，可知填eighth。
23．句意：健康对人们来说总是很重要的。

四、句型转换(共5分)
Rewrite the following sentences as required (根据所给要求完成句子。前四小题每空格限填一词，最后一小题注意句首大写)
28．The young lady did exercise regularly to lose weight. (改为一般疑问句)
________ the young lady ________ exercise regularly to lose weight
29．Simpson has been a football coach for three years. (对划线部分提问)
________ ________ has Simpson been a football coach
30．She buys some flowers in the market every morning. (改为反意疑问句)
She buys some flowers in the market every morning, ________ ________
31．To enjoy the beautiful sunshine at the beach is nice. (保持句意基本不变)
_______ ________ nice to enjoy the beautiful sunshine at the beach.
32．as beautiful as, yours, not, my picture, is (连词成句)
_______________________________________________________
【答案】28． Did do
29． How long
30． doesn’t she
31． It is
32．My picture is not as beautiful as yours.
28．句意：那位年轻女士经常做运动来减肥。那位年轻女士经常做运动来减肥吗
原句含有实意动词do的过去式did，可知句子时态是一般过去时，变一般疑问句要在句首添加助动词did，首字母要大写，同时把实意动词did改为动词原形do；故答案为(1). Did (2). do。
29．句意：Simpson当了三年的足球教练。Simpson当足球教练多久了
根据画线部分for three years.可知这里表示一段时间，提问一段时间用疑问词组how long多久、多长时间，后接一般疑问句，本句中含有助动词has，所以一般疑问句把has提前，故答案为(1). How (2). long。
30．句意：她每天早上在市场上买一些花。她每天早上在市场上买一些花，不是吗？
根据题目要求，可知这里考查反义疑问句，反义疑问句一般遵循“前肯定则后否定，前否定则后肯定”的原则，并且附加疑问句部分的时态，人称要与前面的陈述句保持一致。本题陈述句是肯定句，附加疑问句应用否定形式，根据陈述句中的谓语动词buys可知句子时态是一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数she，附加疑问句需要加否定助动词doesn’t，故答案为(1). doesn’t (2). she。
31．句意：在海滩上享受美丽的阳光很好。
原句中动词不定式To enjoy the beautiful sunshine在句中作主语，可以用形式主语it来替代，it is+形容词+动词不定式，是固定句型，意为“去做某事是…的”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式，故答案为(1). It (2). is。
32．句意：我的画不如你的画漂亮。
根据提示词及后面的标点符号判断，本句为陈述句；my picture在句中作主语，not as…as与……不一样，yours名词性的物主代词，相当于your picture，置于句末，故答案为My picture is not as beautiful as yours.

“What are you worried about Jack and Robert also failed, but don’t they still get to go fishing ”
“My boy, you can’t think like that,” his dad said.
“There is a story that people tell in our hometown. I will tell it to you now.”
“There were two cats playing on a roof. One cat got caught off guard and fell down the chimney while holding the other cat. When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot(烟灰) on his face, while the other cat’s face was clean. Seeing the dirty cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the river and washed its face. The dirty cat saw the clean cat and thought its face was also clean, so it just swaggered down the street.”
“Einstein, no one can be your ‘mirror’. You have to think for yourself. If you just do what everyone else does, you will never learn.”

At the age of 16, Einstein always played with a group of mischievous(顽皮捣蛋的) kids. Because he was so busy playing, he didn’t study enough and failed his final exam.
One morning, when Einstein was holding a fishing rod and was about to go fishing with his friends, his father stopped him and said calmly, “Einstein, you spent so much time playing that you failed your exam. I’m worried about your future.”
“What are you worried about Jack and Robert also failed, but don’t they still get to go fishing ”
“My boy, you can’t think like that,” his dad said.
“There is a story that people tell in our hometown. I will tell it to you now.”
“There were two cats playing on a roof. One cat got caught off guard and fell down the chimney while holding the other cat. When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot(烟灰) on his face, while the other cat’s face was clean. Seeing the dirty cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the river and washed its face. The dirty cat saw the clean cat and thought its face was also clean, so it just swaggered down the street.”
“Einstein, no one can be your ‘mirror’. You have to think for yourself. If you just do what everyone else does, you will never learn.”
