Dear Jeremy and Alice,

Although we’ve been delighted to have you as neighbors, we’re hoping to settle something that bothers to us. In a word, your dog—Cleo.

We’ve called several time about Cleo’s early morning barking. It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she’s outside. The early morning barking have been disturbing us as we are often up all night with the baby. Beside, Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day. This morning she starts barking even before 5 o’clock. That is too much for us. considering how closely the houses are.

We appreciate our apologies and goodwill, but we hope which you can figure out a good way of settling the matter.

Answer

1.去掉bothers后面的to

2.time-times

3.understanding—understand

4.have-has

5.Beside-Besides

6.a-an

7.starts-started

8.closely-close

9.our-your

10.which -that

【解析】

1.去掉bothers后面的to考查动词。Bother sb.表示“打扰某人”，后面不用接介词，故去掉to。

2.time-times 考查名词。此处times在此处表示“次数”，several times表示“许多次”，故填times。

3.understanding—understand考查动词。Be difficult to do sth表示“很难做某事”，后面需要接动词原形，故填understand。

4.have-has 考查谓语动词。由于The early morning barking是单数形式，所以应该用have的第三人称单数形式has，故填has。

5.Beside-Besides考查副词。此处besides表示“除此之外”，故把beside改成besides。

6.a-an 考查冠词。由于average是元音开头，所以应该用不定冠词an，故把a改成an。

7.starts-started 考查过去式。由于此处叙述的是过去发生的事情，所以应该用start的过去式，故把starts改成started。

8.closely-close 考查形容词。此处形容词用来形容名词houses，故把closely改成close。

9.our-your 考查代词。根据句意可知此处表示的是“你们的道歉和善意”，所以应该把our改成your。

10.which -that考查关系代词。此处hope后面接宾语从句，应该用that来连接，故把which改成that。
