想一想:否定性状语位于句首时,主句常用部分倒装。
“The first plan costs less. ___, the second plan offers better long-term support.” 哪个连接表达最合适?
答案:By contrast
By contrast 表示相比之下,适合衔接对照信息。As a result of 需要接名词性成分,也会误导为因果。
想一想:两句是在对比两个方案的不同优点。
“The trial involved 30 adults in one city.” Which claim needs more evidence?
答案:The method works for people of all ages everywhere.
30 名成年人和一座城市的研究不能直接代表所有年龄、所有地区。后两项只是重复已给的信息。

Each of the answers ___ a short explanation.

“If necessary, contact the office.” If necessary 可还原为?
答案:If it is necessary
这里省略了条件从句中的 it is,可还原为 If it is necessary;necessary 是形容词,necessity 是名词,不能直接替换在这个位置。
想一想:条件是“如果有必要”,形容词前需要完整的主谓结构。
___ the event will be held outdoors depends on the weather.
答案:Whether
Whether 引导是否举行的主语从句;这里不能用 if 直接引导句首主语从句。
想一想:句首主语从句表达“是否”。
“The book that I borrowed yesterday explains how bridges are built.” 主句谓语是?

“You may enter only after the safety check is complete.” 哪种做法符合通知?
答案:检查完成后再进入

A rose from 40 to 60; B rose from 100 to 120. Which statement is correct?
答案:Both increased by 20, but A had the larger percentage rise.
两者都增加 20;A 增长 20/40=50%,B 增长 20/100=20%,所以 A 的增长率更高。
想一想:绝对增加量和增长率分别怎么计算?
“Some fear the change will cost too much. However, the trial reduced expenses.” However 后主要在做什么?
答案:Responding to a concern with evidence
前句提出担心,后句用试行结果回应;它支持回应,但未必证明任何规模下都节省。
想一想:试行费用减少如何回应“太贵”的担心?
“The team tested both designs under the same conditions. This made the comparison fairer.” This 指什么?
