　　8. She spent 30 dollars on the English-Chinese dictionary.

　　简析：此类转换必须弄清每个句型的构成特点，而且还要注意句中每个句型的固定搭配。如：give sb. sth.与give sth. to sb.的转换，spend some time(in)doing sth.／on sth.与It takes sb.some time to do sth.的转换等等。

　　四、二句并一句转换为简单句。

　　9. Jim doesn't like noodles，and Jack doesn't,either.

　　_________Jim_________Jack likes noodles.

　　10. Mrs. Smith is my teacher. She is also my good friend.

　　Mrs. Smith is_________ _________my teacher_________ _________my good friend.

　　答案：9. Neither,nor 10.not only,but also

　　简析：英语中常用not only... but also，either... or,neither... nor,both... and等连词把两个意义相关的简单句合并成一个简单句。解题过程中要注意连词的选用和主谓一致原则。除此之外，还可用too... to,enough to等把两个简单句合并成另一简单句。如：Tom is young. He can't go to school.→Tom is too young to go to school.

　　五、用派生词或多义词改写。

　　11. The snow was heavy last night.

　　　　It_________ _________last night.

　　　　_________play basketball here,_________you may break the windows.

　　13. Go on planting trees for two more years and the hill will be covered with green trees.

　　七、简单句与复合句的互换。

　　14. Do you know how you can get the kite down from the tree?

　　　　Do you know_________ _________get the kite down from the tree?

　　答案: how to

　　简析：复合句转换为简单句一般侧重于将从句变化为短语或词组，使其句意简单明了。常见的转换方法有：(1)用不定式替换、用介词短语替换、用名词短语替换、用分词短语替换；(2)将宾语从句简化为"疑问词＋不定式"；(3)将so... that... (such... that... )引导的状语从句简化为含有too... to... (或enough to)的简单句；(4)将if引导的状语从句简化为"祈使句，and(or)＋句子"。

　　八、综合转换。

　　15. Something is wrong with that machine.

　　　　That machine_________ _________.

　　答案：doesn't work

　　简析：综合转换是在整体把握句意的基础上，对原句重新进行概括表达，它在词汇、结构等多方面都有较大的变化。
