Today we take for granted that the mail will be delivered --71--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
daily at our door. But many years ago it might have been 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
placed in a tree trunk and underneath a rock. In the early --72--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
days of the mail no one could be sure about where or when it will arrive. --73--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
At the southern tip of Africa there was once a post office --74--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
under a rock. At the old days the route from England to 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com

India was around the Cape of Good Hope. The journey was 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
stormy and danger. It took six long months. Sailors often --75--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
wished to send mail home, but they seldom met ships bound 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
back to England. So at the cape the sailors would go on 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
ashore. They headed for a certain large stone. On the --76--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
stone scratched the words “Look hereunder for letters.” --77--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
They would leave their letters there, knowing that the 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
next homeward ship would stop and pick it up. --78--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
There was another post office like this at the southern 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
tip of South America. During the golden rush days, boats --79--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
sailed around Cape Horn to California. At Cape Horn was 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
a keg(小桶) nailed to a post. Boats coming from the east 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
coast would send some sailors to this post office. They 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
picked up any letters in the keg. At the same time they 湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
mailed letters home that boats sail east could pick up.--80--湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
答案：湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
71.take for granted 改为take it for granted. take it for granted that: 想当然认为…，在该结构中，it为形式宾语，that引导的从句才是真正宾语。如：Don’t take it for granted that you are bond to win. 别想当然地以为你注定会赢。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
72.and 改为or,根据句意知，此处应是选择关系，而非并列关系。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
73.will改为would。根据句中In the early days和could 知此句主句时态为一般过去时，故其宾语从句中的将来时应为过去将来时，用would。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
74.At改为In。at表时间点，如几时几刻：at five o’clock, at 10∶30表一段时间用in, 如：in two years, in a week, in a few days,自然此处the old days 前应用in。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
75.danger 改为dangerous. 由于本句是系数结构，故应用形容词；况且从修辞上看既然stormy 有“风暴的”是形容词，后面and 并列的词性也应是形容词。故应将danger 名词改为其形容词dangerous。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
76.go on ashore 改为go ashore 或go on shore, ashore 是副词，意为“上岸，在岸上”。此处“上岸”可用go ashore或go on shore来表达。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
77.scratched 改为were scratched或they scratched。若用were scratched，则此句为倒装句，主语是words,用过去时和被动语态。若用they scratched，则words是宾语，该句缺主语，根据上下文，加上they即可。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
78.it改为them。句中的pick it up 中“it”指的是主句中的letters。根据单复数一致的原则，应用them指代letters。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
79.golden改为gold。golden 是形容词，意为“金色的”，“黄金般的”，gold 作名词，意为“黄金”，作形容词，意为“全制的”。故“淘金热”应为“gold rush”。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
80.sail 改为sailing。根据boats sail east could pick up 中could为谓动词，到sail 应变为现在分词，作定语，修饰boats。若无字数限制，改成boats which sailed east 这样的定语从句也可以。湖南校园网 www.sunnyol.com
