Question

【题目】Dear Mayor,

I'm a resident of the city. I feel there are many problems existed in the trade of taxis in our city. First of all, there aren't enough stops in the streets. And taxis often run very fast, which caused many traffic accidents. Additional, some taxi drivers refuse to pick some passengers without any reason. Another terrible thing is that deeply at night taxis waiting around entertainment places make too much noise. A friend of mine living in another city once visited to me, and she told me a taxi driver once cheated her by taking a roundabout route. How will a guest think of our city after such bad experience? I think we must take actions to tighten control over the taxi trade. The last thing to do is raise the taxi drivers' professional morality.

Sincerely yours

Chris

Answer 1

【答案】1. existed改为existing

2. caused改为causes

3. Additional改为Additionally

4. pick后加up

5. deeply改为deep

6. 去掉visited后的to

7. How改为What

8. such后加a

9. actions改为action

10. last改为first

【解析】1.句意：我市出租车行业存在很多问题。此处是现在分词做后置定语，表主动关系，故把existed改为existing。

2.句意：出租车跑得快，这会引起很多交通事故。前面整个句子做先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句中做主语，根据句意可知用一般现在时态，故把caused改为causes。

3.副词修饰整个句子，故把Additional改为Additionally。注意大写开头。

4.句意：一些出租车司机没有理由拒绝客人。pick up中途打车，故在pick后加up。

5.句意：深夜。此处不是抽象概念“深深地”，而是“夜深了”，故把deeply改为deep。

6.此句A friend of mine living in another city once visited to me,中的visit是及物动词，“拜访”，visit sb.拜访某人，故去掉visited后的to。

7.句意：这样一次糟糕的经历之后，一个客人会觉得我们的城市怎样？What do you think of---?觉得---怎么样？故把How改为What。

8. 句意：这样一次糟糕的经历之后。此处experience是可数名词，故在such后加a。

9.固定搭配：take action采取措施，故把actions改为action。

10.句意：要做的第一件事就是提高出租车司机的职业道德。故把last改为first。
