(6)防御外来入侵者_________________________(7)每隔几百米_____________________(8)著名旅游景点之一_____________________________(9)吸引许多外国游客___________________________________3).规范表达名词。如果名词修饰语过长,应转用“a/an/the+名词+of”的表达,例如,“两千多年的历史”应该写成“ahistoryoftwothousandyears”,而不能写成“twothousandyears’history”。4).变换表达,丰富句式。请按要求完成句子：(1)Itismorethan6000kilometersinlength,______________________________________(“是世界上最长的城墙”,使用非限制性定语从句)(2)ItwastheGreatWall_____________________________________________inancienttimes.(“帮助人们防御外来入侵者”,使用强调句)(3)_________________________________________________________,therewerewatchtowerseveryfewhundredmetersalongthewall.(“长城主要用于防御外来入侵者”,使用原因状语从句)(4)TheGreatWallisoneofthewell-knownplacesofinterestonearth,___________________________________________.(“每年吸引许多外国游客到长城观光旅游”,使用非谓语结构)(5)TheGreatWallis____afamoushistoricalattraction____itattractshundredsofthousandsofforeignvisitorseachyear.(使用“如此……以致”的句型表达)(6)So________________________thatitattractshundredsofthousandsofvisitorshomeandabroadeveryyear.(“长城如此吸引”,使用倒装句)Keys:2.1)Ithasahistoryof...2)thelongestwallintheworld3)6000kilometerslong4)bemadeofstonesandbricks5)beconstructedbyhand6)preventthecountryfrombeinginvaded;defendthecountryagainstforeigninvaders7)everyfewhundredmeters8)oneofthefamousscenicspots;oneo
