How are you? Sorry I haven’t written for so long. I’ve been quite busy arranging my holiday to Africa with my older brother, Colin. Have you ever gone there? We leave London in 15 July, and we’ll be taking a flight to Morocco in northern Africa. We’re going to ride camels through Sahara Desert. It’s the biggest desert in the world— about the size of the US! I expect they will be very hot, dry and dusty there. We’ll be travelling by camels with local guides, camping in tents and sleep on the ground. I had heard that, in the Sahara, there is no shade during the day, but the stars seem especially brilliant on clear nights. Altogether, the trip will take six days, that means I’ll have to sit on a camel for almost a week—how uncomfortably! I hope my camel likes me!

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】1.句意：你去哪里了？根据句意可知已经回来，have gone to---，表示去某地了；have been to---，表示曾经去过某地，故把gone---been。

2.在某日用介词on，故把in---on。

3.句意：穿过the Sahara Desert.是专用名词，故加the。

4.句意：我期盼着它很热。此处是the Sahara Desert.故把them---it。

5.句意：我们将骑骆驼旅行。by camel骑骆驼，故把camels---camel。

6.此处是并列的现在分词做伴随状态，故把sleep---sleeping。

7.句意：我已经听说过在那里白天没有树荫，并且星星显得格外明亮。根据句意可知主句用现在完成时态，故把had---have。

8. 句意：我已经听说过在那里白天没有树荫，并且在晴朗的晚上星星显得格外明亮。宾语从句里面是并列句，递进关系，故把but---and。

9.句意：旅行将六天，这意味着我将在骆驼上几乎一周。前面整个句子做先行词，所以后面的非限制性定语从句用which引导，故把that---which。

10. 这意味着我将在骆驼上几乎一周，所以那将是多么不舒服。此处应该是一个省略的感叹句，故把uncomfortably--- uncomfortable。
