My best friend Betsy’s father was a manager at HoughBakeries, which, at Easter time, made little bunny cakes for all its stores throughout Cleveland. It happened that the plantdowntown needed eight kids for temporary help during our spring break, forwhich I had no plans beyond listening to my favorite records. I’d earn minimumwage. I’d see how a factory worked. My parents thought all of this was a grandidea and called Betsy’s dad with their permission.
Our roles in the factory weresimple: Place cakes on a moving belt. Attach icing ears. Apply icing eyes and nose. Remove bunny?from the belt. This was harder than it sounds. Slow down a bit and the cakespile up. As I told my parents at dinner that first night, it was all a littlemore high-pressure than I’d expected.?
這是2021新高考考試全國(guó)卷I完形填空中的一段。請(qǐng)問(wèn)bunny 是可數(shù)名詞(查多本詞典),為何這里用了光桿名詞?
little bunny cakes 名詞作定語(yǔ),用單數(shù)形式。這你應(yīng)該是學(xué)過(guò)的。cakes為中心詞,bunny是定語(yǔ)。cakes為復(fù)數(shù),所以用零冠詞表示泛指。
