An old man was seating in an armchair at home, reading his newspaper. Beside him lay a dog sleep soundly. The old man decided to leaving home for a while, and he couldn’t go out with his slippers on. So he woke up the dog and let it fetched the shoes for him. Out of its expectation, the dog didn’t even stand, but just barked with two eyes closed again. He was complete puzzled. As he was wondering what was happening, a cat appeared in the front of him. Why do you think a cat came there?

Answer 1

【答案】1. seating→sitting/seated

2. sleep→sleeping

3. leaving→leave

4. and he→but

5. fetched→fetch

6. its expectation→his

7. stand后加up

8. complete→completely

9. the front去掉the

10. think a →the

【解析】1.seat是及物动词，“使就座”，用被动形式，be seated；sit是不及物动词，“坐”，主动形式，be sitting,故把seating→sitting/seated 。

2.此处是现在分词做后置定语修饰a dog，sleep---sleeping。

3.固定搭配：decide to do sth.决定做某事，故把leaving→leave 。

4. 句意：这位老人决定离开家一会儿，但是他不能穿着拖鞋出去。可知前后表示转折，故把and he→but 。

5.固定结构：let +宾语+ do sth.可知 把fetched→fetch。

6.根据句意：出乎他的预料。故把its expectation→his 。

7.句意：狗甚至不能站起来。stand up 站起来，故在stand后加up。

8.副词修饰形容词，故把complete→completely 。

9.句意：一只猫出现在他面前。in front of 在---前面，故把the front去掉the。

10.最后一句特指前面提到的猫，用定冠词the，故把 think a →the。
