As to the expenses spend on the books and post, I will give them to you via online banking. Your kind help would be great appreciated.

Looking forward to your early reply.

【解析】

本文是一封书信。作者写信给迈克请求帮助寻找几本英语参考书。

1.考查连接词。句意：……希望你会伸出援手。分析句子可知，此处是宾语从句，从句句意完整，故用that引导宾语从句，无词义，不作成分，仅起引导作用，故将whether改为that。

2.考查冠词。give sb. a hand“给予帮助”，是固定短语，故hand前加a。

3.考查介词。句意：最近我写了一篇关于美洲原住民的文化和习俗的文章。about/on表示“关于”,根据句意，故将with改为about/on。

4.考查副词。句意：然而，我被卡住了，因为在中国没有多少英语参考书。根据句意，与上文是转折关系，有逗号与主句隔开，故用however，故将Besides改为However。

5.考查动词时态。文章主时态是一般现在时，故将were改为are。

6.考查介词。Would you please do sth.？是固定句型，故删除please后的to。

7.考查名词。at one’s convenience“在某人方便的时候”，形容词性物主代词修饰名词，做介词at的宾语，故将convenient改为convenience。

8.考查代词。根据语境可知，此处指上文提到的books，用代词they。故将you改为they。

9.考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，spend作定语，修饰the expense，与spend是被动关系，用过去分词作定语，故将spend改为spent。

10.考查副词。修饰谓语动词appreciated用副词作状语，故将great改为greatly。
