Dear Editor,

I used to be a physician in the children’s department of a hospital. From time to time I treated children who had poisoned by medicine with older family members. The children didn’t know the medicine was danger; they just knew it tasted sweet. Children easily open the bottle what we now use in China.

Some days before I talked about medicines with an American. He showed me a sort of plastic bottle. The design was quite simple and I’m sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles. The top of the bottle can be opened by pressing down on them while turning, which is difficult for most young children to do so, though grown-up can open these bottles very easily.

I’m certainly that the expense of making such tops would be very small. As a doctor, I’d love to see this doing. And most parents would be grateful.

Sincerely yours

Li Hua

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】had 后面加been

【2】with—for

【3】danger—dangerous

【4】what ---that/which/去掉what

【5】before—ago

【6】them—it

【7】to do so 去掉so

【8】grown-up---grown-ups

【9】certainly---certain

【10】doing—done

【解析】

试题分析：为了防止小孩子误食药物，建议制成小孩不易打开的瓶盖。

【1】had 后面加been 句意：有时候我治疗因误服成年人药物而中毒的孩子。此处是：使中毒。故用被动语态，在had 后面加been。

【2】with—for 句意：为年长的人准备的药。故把with—for。

【3】danger—dangerous 此处是形容词作表语，故把danger—dangerous。

【4】what ---that/which/去掉what 此处是定语从句，the bottle是先行词，指物，在从句中作宾语，所以引导定语从句的引导词用that/which/省略，故把what ---that/which/去掉what。

【5】before—ago 句意：几天前我和一名美国人谈论药物。此处是以现在为起点，所以用一般过去时态，故把before—ago。

【6】them—it 句意：旋转时按住瓶盖。The top of the bottle是单数形式，故把them—it。

【7】to do so 去掉so 在这里which 是定语从句的主语，同时也是句中动词不定式的宾语，所以不定式不用再加宾语，故把 to do so 中so去掉。

【8】grown-up---grown-ups 句意：尽管成年人能很容易地打开瓶盖。此处“成年人”用复数形式，故把grown-up---grown-ups。

【9】certainly---certain 固定形式：be certain确信，故把certainly---certain。

【10】doing—done 句意：我喜欢看到这个被做。see+宾语+过去分词，在这里用过去分词作宾语补足语，表示被动，故把doing—done。

【学法指导】

before和ago的区分

1.两者都是以前的意思，ago用在过去时态中，before用在完成时态中

2.对比起来, before主要用于过去完成时 ；ago 主要用于一般过去时.

3.ago 不能单独使用，应与three days (months , weeks)等连用, 而且和动词的过去时连用。如：I met my neighbour an hour ago. Before 之前有"一段时间"时，指"距这段时间以前"，和过去完成时连用。如：He said he had finished the work two days before.（他说他两天前已完成了工作。） 如果before单独使用，是泛指"以前"，常常和完成时连用。如：I have seen the film before.（我以前没看过这部电影。）
