1.作文题目中使用了动词recommend，多数考生会在作文中重复使用recommend，不妨改用名词recommendations以显示一些变化。2.如将apossibleplace改成aplace，语法结构依然正确，但西方人说话有时比较委婉，添加possible更符合他们的语言习惯。3.多数考生可能会写thefollowingreasons，其实完全可简化成thesereasons，these就是指以下内容。4.使用heavyexposure这样地道的语言，可让阅卷人体会到你的英语水平。如改成Ifyoulistentoalotoflocalpeople’sspeech，就显得过于平淡了。5.其实写到acquireanear-nativeaccent已经语义完整了，但添加beforeyourealizeit更能突出汉语中不常见的英语独特表达方式。【参考范文/名师点评】Moreimportantly,Henanisrichinculturalheritages,withoutwhich6yourunderstandingoftheChineselanguagewould7besuperficial.ThecitiesofLuoyangandKaifengusedtobethecapitalofChinainancienttimes.Overitslonghistory,HenanhasbroughtforthnumerousfamousscholarsandpoetssuchasLaoZi,MoZhiandDuFu.IfyouunderstandHenan,youcanunderstandChinaandtheChineselanguage8betterbecauselanguageiscloselylinkedwithculture.Oh,itsuddenlyoccurstome9thatthelivingcoststhereareverylow,andthereforeyoucanaffordtravelstomanypartsofChinatohearvariousdialects.WewelcomeyoutojoinusinHenan.Dali6.使用withoutwhich使which距离culturalheritages远一些，也即增加了语法难度。更简单的结构可以是whichwillincreaseyourunderstandingoftheChineselanguage。7.使用虚拟语气的would可以弱化语气，如改用willbesuperficial显得过于武断，似乎别人对汉语的理解一定会很肤浅。8.“汉语”可以是Chinese或theChineselanguage，但在此为了避免有些读者误以为Chinese是“中国人”，所以就用了theChineselanguage。9.因为这是在给私人写信，不妨使用一些口语化的语言，如Oh,itsuddenlyoccurstome…。【靓句积累/词语拓展】①Throughheavyexposuretolocalpeople’sspeech,youarelikelytoacquireanear-nativeaccentbeforeyourealizeit.通过大量接触当地人的语言。你很可能不知不觉就学会了近乎本地人的口音。②Itsuddenlyoccurstomethatthelivingcoststherearefairylow,andthereforeyoucanaffordtravelstomanypartsofChinatohearvariousdialects.我突然想起，那里的生活费用较低，这样你可到全国各地旅游，听到各种方言。offeryourecommendationsonapossibleplaceforyourstudy向你推荐可能的学习地方→recommendtoyouaplacewhereyoumaystudyberichinculturalheritages文化遗产丰富→haveabundantculturallegaciesbroughtforthnumerousfamousscholarsandpoets产生了无数知名学者与诗人→producedcountlessrenownedscholarsandpoetsbecloselylinkedwithculture与文化紧密相关→havetightconnectionswithculture听力02ListeningComprehension【SectionA】Directions:
