Hi Christine,
Sorry I haven’t emailed lately —I’ve been very busy since becoming a volunteer for the Riding for the Disabled Association.
Every Saturday, I help to get the horses 【小題1】___________ for the disabled(殘疾) riders. Many more disabled people want to ride 【小題2】___________ than you’d imagine. It’s a disadvantage that I don’t know how to ride —I’d love to got on long rides with the riders— but I’ll learn soon 【小題3】___________. Right now, I’m just happy to be able to lead the horses around for the disabled riders.
I’m【小題4】___________ helping to organize a sale, which will be 【小題5】___________ next month. It’s a lot more work than helping the disabled. I need to collect second-hand things to sell at the sale. There are 【小題6】___________ things available(獲得的) than I thought, but I’m sure we’ll have enough【小題7】__________ next month.
I hope the sale raises more money than last month’s walk. It was rainy, so too few people took part in the event. Last week, we held an auction(拍賣). The auction took much less 【小題8】__________ to organize than the walk. 【小題9】__________, for some reason, people offered too little money for the things, so we didn’t raise enough money.
I’m 【小題10】___________ you some pictures in the letter, as well as a speech I gave last week.

Answer 1

【小題1】ready
【小題2】horses
【小題3】enough
【小題4】also
【小題5】held
【小題6】fewer
【小題7】by
【小題8】less
【小題9】However
【小題10】sending

解析文章主旨大意：短文是一篇電子郵件。主要內(nèi)容是作者向殘疾人馬術(shù)協(xié)會匯報(bào)自己的工作情況。
【小題1】get…ready for…意為“為……準(zhǔn)備好”，形容詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語，句意為“為殘疾人準(zhǔn)備好馬匹”。
【小題2】上文已經(jīng)說明是“騎馬”。用名詞horses和ride構(gòu)成動賓短語。
【小題3】enough修飾副詞soon后置。
【小題4】also位于助動詞和行為動詞之間，意為“也”，說明自己另外干的工作。
【小題5】which代替名詞sale，用動詞hold的過去分詞構(gòu)成被動語態(tài)作sale的謂語，hold a sale 表示“舉行拍賣會”。
【小題6】通過下文的轉(zhuǎn)折句意可知此處是比預(yù)想的得到的東西更少，用fewer表示“更少”，修飾名詞things。
【小題7】介詞by表示“截止到；在……之前”。by next month意為“下個(gè)月之前”。
【小題8】less修飾不可數(shù)名詞time意為“更少的時(shí)間”。
【小題9】副詞however表示“然而”，和下文意義“沒得到多少錢”貫通。
【小題10】send sb. sth. 意為“寄給某人某物”，助動詞am提示構(gòu)成進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，用send的現(xiàn)在分詞形式。
