I work as a volunteer for the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate(教育) him.

Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”

After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said regretfully(遺憾地), “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy. He always hated French classes.

One day, I was interviewing(采訪) a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the leadership(領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層) of the village. That really touched my heart.

Learning her story, Brain was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect(尊重) on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered(提供) to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful.

----I have a letter ______but I’m too busy.

---Why not have your son ______it for you ?

A. to post; post B. posted； post C. to post; to post D. post; post

A 【解析】句意：——我有一封信要寄，但我太忙了。 ——你為什么不讓你兒子幫你張貼？ 第一空是不定式作定語修飾letter。當(dāng)不定式修飾的名詞剛好是不定式動作的對象時，不定式必須用主動形式，故第一空不能選posted。 第二空的考點為: have sb. do sth. 意為"讓某人做某事" , 這是固定搭配, 作賓補的不定式在動詞have，let，make 等后不能帶to。故第...

A 【解析】句意：有些家長為了給孩子一種和諧的感覺更喜歡把墻刷成藍(lán)色。prefer to do sth.更喜歡做某事，據(jù)此排除B和D；結(jié)合前后語境可知"有些家長為了孩子們更喜歡把墻刷成藍(lán)色"，后半句表示這樣做的目的，所以用動詞不定式作目的狀語，故答案選A。

D. how far it was to get to the exhibition from our school

A 【解析】句意：——你能告訴我從學(xué)校到展覽需要多長時間嗎？ ——大約兩個小時。 賓語從句用陳述句語序， 故C錯誤。本題考查it takes sb some time to do sth某人花費多長時間做某事，句型。所以D錯誤。Could you tell me ……？是一種語氣，而不是時態(tài)。因此B錯誤。it是單數(shù) take要加S 并且因為已經(jīng)有了謂語動詞take，get就要用非謂語形...
