We made an appointment to go on a trip to Beijing together next weekend, but I am very sorry to inform you that I can not go with you this time. Last night, my mother suddenly fell ill and my father and I were so worried that we took her to hospital. The doctor checked her over and said she was over-worked and needed to stay at home and rest for a week. My father has to go on a business trip next week, so I have to look after my mother during that time.
Anyway, we will have many more chances to visit Beijing. Shall we make it on July 14 and July 15, when I will have some time available?
Thank you for your understanding. I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua 句型背诵

A. or else
B. therefore
C. after all
D. besides 解析:选D。由语境逻辑可以推出该空表示“另外,除此之外”,只有D项与句意相符。
7. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told!(P18) 随着时间的推移,我的记忆能力发展得如此之快,就像一头大象一样,我从来不会忘记告诉我的任何事情! So/Such...that意思为“如此……以致于……”引导结果状语从句。 【联想拓展】 由so构成的常见句型:
adj./adv.+ that-clause so+
adj.+ a/an+单数可数名词 + that-clause
many/much/few/little +n.+ that-clause
注意:so与many/few/little/much 连用,但当little修饰可数名词指大小时可与such连用。 由such构成的常见句型:
a/an+adj.+单数可数名词 + that-clause
such+
复数名词+that-clause
adj.+不可数名词+that-clause She’s so ill that she can’t get out of bed. 她病得很重,都下不了床了。 These are such interesting books that children like to read them.
这些书很有趣,孩子们都喜欢读。 温馨提示:①so that 既可以表达结果,又可以表达目的,表目的时相当于in order that。 I stopped so that you could catch up. 我停下来以便你能赶上。 ②so...that...结构中的so+形容词/副词位于句首时,主句要倒装。 So hard does he work that he seldom goes home. 他工作那么努力,几乎不回家。 ③such...as...中的as引导的是一个定语从句。 【即学即练】 单项填空 ①—What a beautiful day!
—Yes, it’s ______ that I’d like to take a walk.
A. such nice weather B. so a nice weather
C. too nice weather
D. nice weather so 解析:选A。因为此处weather是中心词,且为不可数名词,所以不能加冠词。
②He knows ______ to deal with man but when he meets women, he doesn’t know
to do.
A. what; how
B. what; what
C. how; what
D. how; how 解析:选C。作“对待,处理”解时,do with 和deal with同义,deal with与how搭配,do with与what搭配。后一句中what作do的宾语。故选C。
