解析试题分析:英语中一般用基数词表示分数的分子,用序数词表示分数的分母。当分子是一时,分数的分母用单数形式,在表示分数时,当分数的分子大于一时,分数的分母要用复数形式。由分数修饰的主语后面谓语动词的数,和被修饰主语的单复数保持一致。选项AB结构有误,the warm water表示抽象含义,不可数,故谓语动词用单数,选C。
考点:分数表达
点评:英语分数的表达规则比较固定,学习中应牢记这些基本规则。需注意的是,由分数修饰的主语后面谓语动词的数,和被修饰主语的单复数保持一致。
In Europe many people died during the Second World War. As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans(孤儿)there. A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children. His idea was simple. He wanted orphans to have a home, and he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents. Gmeiner asked people to give him some money. With this money he built the first SOS Children’s Village at Imst, in Austria. It opened in1949. This is how the SOS stand for “Save Our Souls(灵魂).” This means “Please help us!” An SOS Children’ village gives help to orphans.
Hermann Gmeiner’s idea for helping orphans soon spread(传播)all over the world. By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children’s Villages in the world. People in many countries give money to help the villages. Today the children from the first village have grown up. Now some of them work in other SOS Children’s Villages.
In SOS Villages orphans live in family groups. There are several houses in each village. The biggest village has 40 or 50 houses! Between seven and ten children live in a house. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks meals for them and makes comfortable, happy home for them.
Of course, the children don’t spend all their time in the village. They go to school, they go out with their friends. But the village gives them a home—sometimes for the first time in their lives.
