1．_______________(鐘聲響了) and we realized it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.
　　2.Finding it difficult to _______________(適應那里的氣候)，he decided to move to the north.
　　3.He asked the teacher to____________________(解釋得更詳細一些)。
　　4．___________________________(與成年人學習外語相比) children do not have good conditions, but they can master mother tongue completely.
　　5.________________(就外表而言)，Jack and his younger brother have little in common.

　　答案：
　　1. The clock struck
　　時鐘報時用strike,而不用ring.電話鈴響了一般用ring.
　　2. adapt to the climate there
　　adapt to 有“與……相適應”的意思，還可以用“be accustomed to ”或“be adjusted to”來表達類似的意思。注意這些“to”
　　后面一定要跟名詞或動名詞。
　　3. explain the word in greater detail
　　“explain the word in greater detail”即“詳細解釋某事”的意思。
　　4. Compared with adults learning foreign languages
　　此句考查分詞的正確使用，它的主語是children,與adults相比，與compare是動賓關系，所以要用表示被動關系的過去分詞形式。
　　5. As far as the appearance is concerned
　　“as far as something is concerned”表示“就……而言”，相似的短語有“as something referred”,表示就某事物的某方面作說明。
