A. so; that B. such; that C. too; to D. enough; to【答案】A句意：— —你觉得新电影《流浪地球》怎么样？ — —太好了，我真的很喜欢它。
根据答语的句子特点It’s ____ wonderful I really like it.可知wonderful为形容词，I really
like it. 为一个从句，联系语境可知此句应该是对电影《流浪地球》的评价为“太好了，我真的很
喜欢它。”，所以符合so+形容词/副词+that的用法，如此……以至于……，后引导一个结果状语
从句；such…that…也有同样的用法，但 such后应该跟名词，故排除；too…to表“太……不
能……”，意义和结构都不符合；enough; to足够……去做……，意义和结构也都不符合；故选
A。

there for a trip this year.淄博一个如此受欢迎的城市以至于今年许多人想去那里旅行。
一．语法精讲
一、情态动词should与could的用法
1. should的用法
should为情态动词，表示劝告、建议，意为＂应该＂，它和其他情态动词一样，没有人称和
数的变化，后接动词原形，其否定形式为shouldn’t。
Maybe she should say sorry to you. 也许她应该跟你说对不起。
2. could的用法
could既是can的过去式，表示过去的能力，又可以作情态动词表示谨慎、客气的建议，后接
动词原形，其否定形式为couldn’t。
You could go out and buy her some medicine. 你可以出去给她买些药。
二、 提建议的表达方式
1. 用Why not...?来提出建议，表示＂何不……?＂，not后接动词原形。＂Why not...?＂实际上是
＂Why don’t we/you...?＂的简略形式。
Why not meet at the school gate at eight? 何不8点在校门口见面？
Why don’t we stay here another day? 我们为什么不在这儿再待一天呢？
2. 用＂Would/Could you please...?＂来提出建议或请求。此句式中的would/could并非是动词过去
式，而是表示说话者的语气较为委婉。
Could you please tell me how to get to the post office? 请你告诉我怎么才能到邮局好吗？
Would you please go hiking with me? 和我一起去远足好吗？
3. 可以用＂Will you...?＂表示委婉地提建议或请求。
Will you go to Jinan with us? 你和我们一起去济南好吗？
4. shall用于第一、第三人称疑问句，表示征求对方意见。
Shall we go swimming this afternoon? 今天下午我们去游泳好吗？

6. 用＂What about/How about...?＂来提出建议，about是介词，后面要接名词或动名词。
What about writing back to him about it? 要不要就这事给他回一封信？
7. 用＂Would you like...?＂来提出建议，意思是＂你想要……吗?＂，would you like后可接名词或
动词不定式。
Would you like a cup of tea? 你想要杯茶吗？
8. 回答建议的表达方式
（1）同意对方的建议时，一般用：
Good idea. / That’s a good idea.
OK. / All right. / Yes, please. / Yes, I’d love to.
No problem. / I agree with you.
Sure. / Of course. / Certainly.
Yes, I think so.
（2）对对方的建议表示拒绝时，一般用：
I don’t think so. / Sorry, I can’t. / Sorry, but...
I’d love / like to, but... / I’m afraid...
三、until，so that，although的用法
1. until的用法
（1）作介词，表示＂直到……为止＂。
The meeting may last until Friday. 会议可能要延续到星期五。
Mark will be working until 5 o’clock. 马克将一直工作到五点钟。
【注意】由上面两个例句可知：until用于肯定句中表示动作一直持续到until短语所表示的时间
为止，即表示动作的终点，意为＂直到……为止＂。在这种用法中，句子的谓语动词必须是延续
性动词，如：live，wait，last，love，like，stay，work等。
（2）作连词，表示＂直到……为止；在……以前；不到……（不）＂。
①用于肯定句中
Please wait here until I come. 请在这里等到我来。
②用于否定句中
I won’t stop shouting until you let me go. 你不放开我，我就一直喊叫。
【注意】 until作连词用于否定句中，从句的动作先发生，主句的动作后发生，意为＂直到……
才……＂。
2. so that的用法
（1）so that引导目的状语从句，从句谓语动词常用情态动词may/might/can/could等。
We went early so that we could get good seats. 为了占到好座位，我们早早就去了。
（2）so that引导目的状语从句，当主句主语与从句主语一致时，可用＂so as to(in order to)＋动词
原形＂转化为简单句。
He got up early so that he could catch the early bus.
=He got up early in order to/so as to catch the early bus.为了赶早班公交车他起床很早。
（3）so that还可以与in order that互换。

【答案】
Dear Frank,
I've received your letter and I know you argued with your parents. I really worry about you. I think it's
wrong for you to play games for a long time. Your parents are right because playing games wastes a lot
of time and it's bad for your eyes and study.
You should understand and respect your parents and get on well with them. In this way, you can be
happy and improve yourself quickly. I also think that you should make an apology to your parents, for
you have made them very sad and angry. When you meet some trouble, you'd better communicate with
them. Don't play games any more, study hard and never give up. If you're free, you can help them with
housework.
Please be happy and everything will be better.
Your
s,
