练习 1
Step 2 of the instructions contains the sentence: "be sure to close all other applications before performing installation".

Re-write this sentence without changing its meaning.

to close all other before installation.
Step 2 of the instructions contains the sentence: "be sure to close all other applications before performing installation".

Re-write this sentence without changing its meaning.

It is necessary 1 to close all other programs 2 before carrying out 3 installation.
1 It is necessary: This is the best choice here. "Be sure" is similar to "be certain" and is used in instructions to indicate that something is necessary. For example: "be sure to close the windows before you leave".
1 Try your best: This is not right. "Try your best" is less emphatic than "be sure". It indicates that something is advisable though not absolutely necessary. For example: "Try your best to phone me tonight but if you can't, I'll probably be available tomorrow".
1 It is not recommended: This is incorrect. "It is not recommended" is advice NOT to do something. It has the opposite meaning to "be sure".
2 programs: This is correct. An "application" is a computer program designed for a specific task or use. For example, MicroTosh Word is an application for producing written documents.
2 documents: This is incorrect. A "document" is a data file or piece of work created with an application (such as "spreadsheet" created with MicroTosh Exsmell) but it is not the application itself.
2 electrical devices: This is incorrect. An electrical device (such as a mobile phone or a lamp) is a piece of equipment designed to perform a special function. An electrical device is not the same thing as an application which is a piece of software on a computer. Note that we do not normally "close" electrical devices, it would be more correct to say "switch off" or "turn off".
3 carrying out: This is a right choice. To "carry out" means to effect, accomplish or complete. For example: "They carried out their plan without incident". This is the best replacement for "perform" here.
3 realising: This is not the best choice. To "realise" can mean to make real or give reality to (a hope, fear, plan, etc.). For example: "One day I will realise my ambition of snowboarding with the Queen of England". However "realise an installation" is not idiomatic English.
3 accomplishing: This is incorrect. To "accomplish" can mean to succeed in doing or bring to pass. It is often used as a synonym of "to perform". However in this context, "to accomplish an installation" is unidiomatic and isn't the best choice.
练习 2
In the context of the dialogue, "app" is short for "".
In the context of the dialogue, "app" is short for "application".
application: An "app" is short for (or is an abbreviation of) "application". An application for a mobile phone (or cellphone) is a computer program or a piece of software. Many "smartphones" now have many different applications that can be downloaded for free or for a price, such as virtual musical instruments or TV guides.
