Dear editor，

I’m sorry to occupy your precious time, and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays. I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make loud noise that trouble residents a lot. What’s more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention. Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.

Yours truly,

Wang Lin

Answer 1

【答案】1. I really 前的and→ but

2. anything→ something

3. reason→ reasons

4. 去掉as后的it

5. trouble→ troubles

6. where→ which

7. place→ places

8. mostly→ most

9. Take→ Taking

10. do→ to do

【解析】第一处：考察连词的应用。根据“I’m sorry to occupy your precious time, and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays.”句意：很抱歉出现在你忙的时间，但是无真的有事要告诉你。故and改为but。

第二处：考察不定代词的应用。在否定句中一些事情用anything，在肯定中用something。可知此句为肯定句，则用something。故anything改为something。

第三处：考察名词复数的应用。根据“I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason.”more and more后应跟名词的复数。故reason改为reasons。

第四处：考察固定搭配的应用。“First of all, as it is known to people, pets make loud noise that trouble residents a lot.”as is known to people大家都知道。故去掉as后的it。

第五处：考察名词复数的应用。“First of all, as it is known to people, pets make loud noise that trouble residents a lot.”a lot后跟名词的复数。故trouble改为troubles。

第六处：考察定语从句关系代词的应用。此句非限定性定语从句，先行词为事情，关系代词在后面的句子中作主语。应用which。故where改为which。

第七处：考察名词复数的应用。 Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. 可知，此处应为名词的复数。故place改为places。

第八处：考察最高级的应用。根据意思此处应为形容词的最高级。important的最高级应在前面加most。故mostly改为most。

第九处：考察动名词的应用。此处为动词短语做状语，前面应该用take的名词形式taking。故Take改为Taking。

第十处：考察固定搭配的应用。expect to do sth希望做某事。故do改为to do。
