动词的及物或不及物是在英语学习中必须解决的首要问题。动词及物与不及物通常有以下几种情况：
1．及物动词：及物动词后面必须跟宾语。可以用于：“主＋谓＋宾”；“主＋谓＋双宾”；“主＋谓＋宾＋宾补”结构。
2．不及物动词：不及物动词后面不跟宾语。只能用于：“主＋谓”结构。3．既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词，其意义不变。如begin都是作“开始”讲。
4．既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词，其意义完全不同。如lift vt.“升高，举起”；vi.“被提起来，(雾、云)消散”。一、及物动词
及物动词常用于以下结构：
1．主语＋谓语＋宾语
He reached Paris the day before yesterday.(Paris是reached的宾语)他前天到达巴黎。2．主语＋谓语＋间接宾语＋直接宾语
直接宾语是动词的直接作用对象，通常指事物，间接宾语是事物接受者，通常是人。
Please hand me the book over there.(me是hand的间接宾语，the book是直接宾语)
请把那儿的那本书递给我。
当间接宾语位于直接宾语后面时，常在前面加介词to，有时用for。I sent an email to my American teacher.
我给我的美国老师发了电子邮件。
He bought a present for my daughter.
他给我的女儿买了一份礼物。3．主语＋谓语＋宾语＋宾语补足语

A．while B．because
C．unless D．if 【解析】 句意：汤姆把考试当做障碍，而他的同学则把考试当做挑战。空格前后的两个句子形成了对比，因此此处应用while，while在此作并列连词，意为“而，然而，却”。because表示原因，unless和if均表示条件。

邮件一般使用非正式文体，因此正文前的称呼通常无须使用诸如“Dear Mr.John”之类的表达。在同辈的亲朋好友或同事间可以直呼其名，但对长辈或上级最好使用头衔加上姓。如：Tommy，或者Mr.Smith。若不能确定收件人是哪一位，可用这样的表达，如：“Dear Madam or Sir”或“To whom it may concern”等。2．正文(Body)
提出建议的邮件的正文一般采取“三段式结构”，通常以firstly，secondly thirdly或to begin with，then，later等依次陈述建议。
首段：对对方对自己的信任简单表示感谢，或者表明自己的诚意。中段：围绕所发现的问题，用委婉客观的语言提出自己的建议、方法，注意要充分考虑到对方的实际问题，表达时应选择得体的语言，切忌语言生硬刻板。陈述信息时要清晰明了，不要引起对方的困惑。
末段：简单提出自己的希望，希望自己的建议能对对方有所帮助。
3．签名(Signature)
