1.I replied to her that _______________ .

was angry with her husband ,so _____________ when he spoke to her..

could we get news in our own society or abroad ______________ ?

latest census shows that Chinas population ______________

have had ten recorders ,but we still need ____________as again.

答案与解析:

1. I would accept her invitation

本题考点一是时态的一致。由于前半句时态是replied，因此 将要 应译为would。本题考点二是 接受 的'英文表达。 accept和 receive都有表示接受的意思。receive指客观已经发生的情况。它只表明事实上收到某物而不管接受者主观上是否愿意接受。如：My father received a letter this morning. 而accept带有主动或赞许的意味，表示不但收下某物，而且内心也同意接受。如：Please accept my little present.下面这句话可以帮助大家分清两个词的使用域：He received an invitation yesterday but he did not accept it.

2. she ignored him

由句意可知，她是对丈夫生气了，因而丈夫和她说话时她不予理睬。本题要注意ignore和neglect在含义上的差别。Ignore是故意不理睬别人，而neglect是表示疏忽，并非故意，常和to连用，如：Dont neglect to lock the door.
