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 that you can figure a good way of settling the matter.
Sincerely,
Jack and Rose
答案
1.第一段：去掉bothers后的to bother sb.打扰某人。
2.第二段第一句：time→times 考查名词复数。several times好几次。
3.第二段第二句：understanding→understand 根据it’s difficult to do sth.句型可知。
4.第二段第三句：have→has 考查主谓一致。the early morning barking为单数，所以谓语动词也应为单数形式。
5.第二段第四句：Beside→Besides 此处应为副词besides而不是介词beside.
6.第二段第四句：average前的a→an 考查冠词。average为以元音音素开头的单词，所以应用冠词an.
7.第二段第五句：starts→started 考查时态。因为是今天早晨发生的事情，所以用一般过去时。
8.第二段第六句：closely→close 考查形容词。形容词close作表语。
9.第三段：our→your 考查物主代词。
10.第三段：在figure后加out 根据动词短语figure out(想出)可知答案。
