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 a problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make so much noise that it troubled 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

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一封信，讲述了当今人们养的宠物过多的情况。

1.and→but 考查连词以及对文章的理解。I’m sorry to occupy your precious time,与 I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays之间是转折关系，所以用but。

2.anything →something 考查代词。Anything任何事，something一些事，陈述语气，所以用something。

3.reason→ reasons 考查名词。理由，可数名词，故用reasons。

4.去掉it 考查代词。As is known to...众所周知，固定句式，故去掉it

5.trouble→ troubles/they trouble 考查动词。Noise不可数名词，用第三人称单数形式，也可以增加主语，用 troubles/they trouble。

6.where→ which 考查关系词。非限制性定语从句，用which引导，故用which。

7.place→ places 考查名词。地点，可数名词，用places。

8.mostly→ most 考查形容词。Most此处是最高级，最重要的是，mostly表示大多数，所以用most。

9.Take→ Taking 考查动词。与主语之间是主动关系，用Taking。

10. to do/will do 考查时态。Expect sb. to do /will do希望某人做某事，用to do/will do。
