(little),maybe I will work as a volunteer for the school as a teaching assistant.
These are my plan for the summer vacation.What’s yours?I am looking 10. to your earliest reply. 答案与解析: 1.asked 根据后句的“inyourlastletteraboutmyplanforthecomingsummervacation”可知在上封信中应该用一般过去时,故填asked。
2.without 句意:很抱歉,“我”没能立刻给你答复。withoutdelay“立刻,马上”。故填without。 3.hadread “我”多么希望一收到你的信就读并回信啊。wish后的从句用虚拟语气,表示与过去事实相反。故填hadread。
4.However 然而,“我”当时正忙于准备期末考试,这对我很重要。however“然而”。故填However。
5.which which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词finalexam,且在从句中做主语。故填which。 6.tofocus “我”别无选择,只能完全集中在学习上。havenochoicebuttodo“别无选择只能……”。故填tofocus。
7.were “我”相信如果你是“我”的话,你也会做出同样的决定。此处为if引导的虚拟条件句表示对现在情况的虚拟,be动词用were。故填were。
8.can/willbeimproved 前句Iwanttodoaparttimejob可知,那样“我”的人际交往技能可以/将会得到提升。故填can/willbeimproved。
9.least lastbutnotleast“最后但并非最不重要的是”。故填least。
10.forward “我”期盼收到你及早的答复。lookforwardto“期盼”。故填forward。 八、选词创境
运用下列写作词汇,自己创设一个语境,形成一个小语段。(3~5句)

答案: Once upon a time,a prince went to a party.His eyes fell upon a beautiful girl.Atfirstsight,he fellinlove with her.The prince
