Dear editor,
I am Evan from Canada. Being the oldest child in the family has its disadvantages. First of all, I have to share all my toys with my young sisters. Of course, they don't need to return to the favor because I'm total uninterested in their things. Besides, they are always hanging around me. I just can't get moment's peace. At meals, I have to eat whichever is on the plate regardless of the taste. My sisters only try one bite if it's not our favorite food. In addition, when it comes to practice our musical instruments, I have to practice more than double the time. Worst of all, I got a larger quantity of housework. Comparing to them, I'm feeling rather annoyed. Can you please give me some advices?
Yours truly,
Evan Smith
【答案】①young→younger
②return后面的to删除
③total→totally
④get后加a
⑤whichever→whatever
⑥our→their
⑦practice→practicing
⑧got→get
⑨Comparing→Compared
⑩advices→advice
【解析】本文中作者详细描述了作为家里最大的孩子,作者在生活中所遇见的种种困难和问题。
①young→younger 考查形容词比较级。根据第二句可知,“我”是家里最大的孩子,其他的孩子比“我”更年轻。
②return后面的to删除 考查动词。本句中动词return意为“归还”,是及物动词,后面直接加宾语,不需要介词。
③total→totally 考查副词。在英语中副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子。本句中使用副词totally作状语修饰形容词uninterested。
④get后加a 考查名词短语。a moment意为“一刻”;句意:而且他们总是缠着我,我得不到一刻钟的安宁。
⑤whichever→whatever 考查宾语从句。whichever作为引导词通常指特定范围之内的某一个,而whatever则是没有范围限制。句意:不管味道如何,我都得吃盘子里的任何东西。
⑥our→their 考查代词。本句中their指代my sisters。句意:如果盘子里的食物不是她们喜欢的食物,我的妹妹们通常只吃一口。
⑦practice→practicing 考查动名词。本句中“to”是介词,后面要接动名词作宾语,所以使用动名词practicing作宾语。
⑧got→get 考查时态。本文通篇都是一般现在时,介绍作为家里最大的孩子的弊端。所以本句也应该使用一般现在时,故谓语动词使用get。
⑨Comparing→Compared 考查固定搭配。短语compared to....与……相比;句意:我与他们相比,我感觉很难受。
⑩advices→advice 考查名词。本句中名词advice“建议”是不可数名词,没有复数形式。
