Dear Ms. Wood,
I was a guest who stayed in your hotel a week ago. First of all, I want to express my sincere thanks for your good service which makes my stay in Australia more enjoyable. Therefore, you can do better in some aspects.
To begin with, I found out only one Chinese dish on the menu, that gave me a big surprise. Is it possible for you to provide Chinese dishes with more variety? In addition, it took me long time to find the emergency exit. Please make the signs well-marking. Finally, the clerk at the front desk could be more patiently. When asking about where to find the nearest swimming pool, she seemed rather annoyed.
I do hope you will take their advice into consideration. Thanks for your time.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】1.makes→made 2.Therefore→However 3.去掉out 4.that→which 5.variety→varieties 6.long 前加a 7.well-marking →well-marked 8.patiently→patient 9.asking→asked 10.their→my
【解析】
本文是应用文,是一封书信。作者写信给度假的酒店提出的一些改进的建议。
1.考查时态。根据上一句的时间状语a week ago可知,是叙述过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故makes改为made。
2.考查连词。上一句说“你们的良好服务使我在澳大利亚的逗留更加愉快”,下一句说“你可以在某些方面做得更好”,两句之间是转折的关系,不是因果关系,Therefore是表示因果关系,故Therefore改为However。
3.考查动词词义辨析。短语find out 意为:找出(真相),查明(事实);find意为“发现”;根据句意应用find,故去掉out。
4.考查定语从句。句意:我发现菜单上只有一道中国菜,这让我很惊讶。分析句子结构,后半句前面有逗号,是非限制性定语从句,用which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面的整个句子。that不能引导非限制性定语从句,故that改为which。
5.考查名词复数。根据句意,是“更多种类的菜肴”, variety是可数名词,此处应该用复数,故variety改为varieties。
6.考查固定短语。 a long time“很长时间”,是固定短语,故long前加a。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意: 请把标牌做好。此处是“make + 宾语+宾语补足语”结构,宾语signs和well-mark之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,应该用过去分词做宾语补足语,故well-marking改为well-marked。
8.考查形容词。在be动词后应该用形容词作表语,故patiently改为patient。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意:当她被问去哪里找最近的游泳池时,她似乎很生气。ask和逻辑主语也就是主句的主语she之间为被动的关系,相当于when she was asked…,因此用过去分词形式。故asking改为asked。
10.考查代词。句意:我真的希望你能考虑我的建议。根据上文,应该是作者提出建议;主语是I,相应的用形容词性物主代词my。故their改为my。
