Question

    Dear Zhang Hua,

Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, and (71)另一个是六月第三个星期天的父亲节。On these two days, (72) American children often give gifts to their parents or take them out for dinner. Common gifs are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. (73)I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gifts to their parents. (74)我相信有很多方法来表达我们的爱心。Actually, we don't have to spend a lot of money. (75) It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.

1.

划线的句子“另一个是六月第三个星期天的父亲节”是陈述句。根据前文“One is”可知此处用the other is,表语是“父亲节”Father’s Day；时间状语是“六月第三个星期天”，用on the third Sunday of June。故答案为the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June.

2.

划线的句子“American children often give gifts to their parents or take them out for dinner”是陈述句。主语是American children美国的孩子们；often是频度副词表示“经常”；谓语动词是give表示“给”；宾语是gifts礼物；their parents表“他们的父母”。or表示“或者”，引出另一个并列的动词“take them out for dinner”表示“带父母出去吃晚餐”。故答案为美国的孩子们经常给父母送礼物或带他们出去吃晚餐。

3.

划线的句子“I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day in China”是含有that引导的宾语从句。主句的主语是I我，谓语动词是heard听说。that后面的宾语从句的主语是动词不定式“to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day”庆祝父亲节和母亲节，it是形式主语，谓语是“becoming more and more popular”变得越来越流行。地点状语是“in China”在中国。故答案为我听说在中国，庆祝父亲节和母亲节变得越来越流行。

4.

划线的句子“我相信有很多方法来表达我们的爱心”是陈述句。主语是I，谓语动词 “相信”用believe。后面是宾语从句，表示“有很多方法”用there are many ways,“来表达我们的爱心”是目的状语，用动词不定式to show our love。故答案为I believe there are many ways to show our love.

5.

划线的句子“It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead”是it做形式主语的句子，真正的主语是动词不定式“to help parents to do something”帮助父母做一些事情，表语“also a good idea”表示“也是一个好主意”。instead放在句末表示“代替”。故答案为帮助父母做一些事情来代替也是一个好主意。
