[参考答案]
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you for the mobile phone of Dephone-S250 I bought on 20th Apr.2008 at Tele Mall in Wuhan, P.R. China. Ten days after that, it didn’t ring and send short messages. Then I took it to the seller, but was told that the model had been sold out and I had to wait at least three months for a new one.
Later I went to the repairman. He said since it was a new model in China, it was impossible to fix it without the right spare parts. I was so desperate on hearing that. How can I wait that long Therefore, I require that you send me a new one of the same model within a month.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Bu Manyi

Review the Attributive Clause(复习定语从句)
Ⅰ.词汇聚焦
He wasn’t aware of the danger.他没有意识到危险。
Is she aware that I’m coming?她知道我要来吗?
[指点迷津]
aware后跟名词性从句时,一般在从句前不能用of,但在what从句前必须用of。
Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously ______ situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.
A. aware of B. worried about
C. familiar with D. accustomed to
解析:aware of“知道”。句意为:当你以特殊的方式写出自己的目标时,你能够知道自己在接近目标的位置。
答案:A
2.otherwise conj. 否则;adv. 在其他方面;除此以外;不同地
[指点迷津]
otherwise用作连词,意为“否则……,要不然……”,相当于if not, or else,在使用时必须有上下文。另外otherwise可以用于虚拟语气句中,本身相当于一个条件状语从句。如:He wasn’t treated in time. Otherwise he wouldn’t have died.他未能得到及时治疗,否则就不会死。
①Let’s hurry up, otherwise we’ll be late again.
②The price is high, but otherwise the house is satisfactory.
Listen to your parents. ______ you will regret.
A. Otherwise B. Unless
C. However D. Nevertheless
解析:unless“除非”,however“无论如何”,nevertheless“尽管”,由句意“听你父母的话,不然你会后悔的”。可知用otherwise“否则,要不然的话”。
答案:A
3.reject vt.抛开;丢掉;拒绝,抵制 n. 被拒绝或抛弃的人或物
reject a gift/a possibility/an opinion/a suggestion
拒绝接受一件礼物/一种可能性/一条意见/一项建议
reject a request拒绝请求
reject one’s idealist view去掉唯心的观点
rejects from an officers training course军官培训课程不合格者
[指点迷津]
考生常将reject与refuse混淆:
refuse指拒绝别人的请求、帮助、邀请等,其后可跟不定式;reject不能用于拒绝别人的邀请或帮助,其后不能跟不定式。
It made the young writer disappointed that several publishers ______ his manuscript(原稿).
A. took B. rejected
C. hated D. appreciated
解析:从上文中的“disappointed”一词来看,青年作家的原稿应该是被几家出版社“拒绝”才合适,所以选项B符合题意。
答案:B
4.compare vt. & vi. 比较,相比,比喻
[思维拓展]
compare A with B 把A和B进行比较
compare A to B 把A比喻为B
compared with/to...与……相比(作插入性状语)
beyond compare无与伦比的,不可及的
compare notes对比笔记;交换意见
①He began to compare himself with the farmers.
②Young people are often compared to rising sun.
______ this ______ that, and you will see which is better.
A. Compare; to B. Compared; with
C. Compared; to D. Compare; with
解析:根据上下文结构可知,and前面应是一个祈使句,故compare应是原形构成祈使句。compare this with that是“把这个与那个相比较”;compare this to that“把这个比作那个”。根据题意,答案应选D。
答案:D
Ⅱ.短语突破
Allowing for the train being late, we should be back by 10∶30.
把火车晚点考虑在内我们应该在10点半之前回来。
[指点迷津]
allow与hope后面的搭配刚好相反:
It takes about an hour to get there, ______ possible traffic delays.
A. allowed for B. allowing for
C. allowing D. allowed
解析:该处需用现在分词作状语。allow for为固定搭配,意思是“考虑到;把……计算在内”,而allow意思是“允许”。根据上下文的提示,选项B符合题意。
答案:B
2.keep track of保持联系;时刻了解……的动态,掌握……的线索
[思维拓展]
follow sb.’s/sth.’s track循着某人/物的足迹
cover one’s track隐匿行踪
lose track of失去……的线索
be on sb.’s track追踪某人
a mountain track山间小道
a race track赛跑跑道
in one’s tracks就地,当场;突然间
①It’s difficult to keep track of all the new ideas and developments in agriculture.
②He follows the tracks left by the bear.
③I lose track of time when I listen to this music.
The tomato juice left brown ______ on the front of my jacket.
A. spot B. point
C. track D. trace
解析:A项表示“斑点,污迹,场所”;B项表示“点”;C项表示“行踪,轨道”;D项表示“踪迹,足迹,痕迹”。
答案:A
[指点迷津]
以上动词短语在高考试卷中的出现频率很高,注意辨析记忆。
The criminal ______ the two policemen who were holding him.
A. broke into B. broke away from
C. broke through D. broke down
解析:break away from意为“摆脱;挣脱”;break through指“突破;攻克”;break into指“闯入”;break down指“分解;累垮;出毛病”等。根据上下文的暗示,break away from符合题意,故选B。
答案:B
Ⅲ.句型归纳
1.It is certainly true that computers, cellphones and digital cameras have become part of our everyday life.电脑、手机、数码相机已经变成了我们日常生活的一部分,这是毫无疑问的。
该句为It is+adj.+that-clause句式。其中真正的主语是that从句。
[思维拓展]
①It is/was+形容词/名词+for sb. to do sth.
其中的形容词/名词有:difficult/easy/necessary/useful/important/(im)possible/expensive/heavy/dangerous/a good idea/an honour/a pity...
②It is/was+adj.+of sb. to do sth.
其中的形容词有:rude/brave/careful/careless/helpful/clever/wise/foolish/stupid/silly/honest/kind/(im)polite/nice...
In fact ______ is a hard job for the police to keep order in an important football match.
A. this B. that
C. there D. it
解析:根据句子结构,句中缺形式主语,真正的主语是to keep order in an important football match。
答案:D
2.It is very important for us to know that someone far away is also struggling as we are.对于我们来讲知道远方的某个人也和我们一样在奋斗是很重要的。
[思维拓展]
as在该句中作连词使用,引导方式状语从句。
as的句法作用如下:
①as conj. 引导状语从句
a.引导时间状语从句,与while相近,强调主从句谓语动词的动作同时发生,或某事一发生,另一事立即发生。
b.引导原因状语从句,与because相近,“由于,因为”,指大家共知的原因。
c.引导方式状语从句,“如,像”。
d.引导让步状语从句,“尽管;虽然;即使”。形容词、副词、动词原形等应置于as之前,为倒装句。
e.引导比较状语从句,用于as...as结构中。
f.as...as possible=as...as one can/could
尽可能地……
②as prep. “作为,如同,像……”
She spoke of me as her dearest friend.
她谈起我如同她最亲密的朋友似的。
③as作关系代词,引导定语从句
Such ideas as he hits on are worthless.
像他那偶然想起的主意是无用的。
It is the same story as I heard from her yesterday.
这故事跟我昨天从她那儿听到的相同。
As you know, this is also part of our work.
如你所知,这也是我们工作的一部分。
Mother was worried because little Alice was ill, especially ______ father was away in France.
A. as B. that
C. during D. if
解析:空格处所填的词应引导时间状语从句,所以选用as,而during是介词,不能引导从句。
答案:A
3.By looking at a problem in as many ways as possible, creative thinkers can find solutions that would otherwise remain invisible.通过用尽可能多的方法看待一个问题,有创造性的思想者能够发现一直不为人所知的解决方法。
①as many ways as possible“尽可能多的方法”,as many+n. (pl.)+as possible为一个习惯用语,相当于as+adv.+as+主语+can/could。
[指点迷津]
as...as之间要用形容词或副词的原级。应根据句子结构选择形容词或副词。如:
Try to be as careful as you can.你要尽可能得细心。
Try to do your homework as carefully as possible.
做作业时尽量认真。
as soon as possible 尽可能早地/快地
as much as possible 尽可能多地
as quickly as possible 尽可能快地
as early as possible 尽可能早地
as often as possible 尽可能经常地
as friendly as possible 尽可能友好地
②remain+adj. remain作为连系动词,表示“继续保持,仍然处于某种状态”。又如:
Although he has taken a lot of medicine, his health ______ poor.
A. proves B. remains
C. maintains D. continues
解析:A项不合题意;C项后常接名词;D项需接to be方可。
答案:B
