My cousin spends more than two hours practicing playing the piano every day．．

Answer 1

分析 My cousin spends more than two hours practicing playing the piano every day．

解答 答案；My cousin spends more than two hours practicing playing the piano every day．這里是說每天都做的事情用一般現(xiàn)在時，花費時間做某事，這里我們用spend+時間+doing sth，主語是My cousin，故spends，兩個多小時more than two hours，練習(xí)做某事practice doing sth，彈鋼琴play the piano，故答案是My cousin spends more than two hours practicing playing the piano every day．

點評 spend，cost，take和pay的區(qū)別是歷年中考試題的必考內(nèi)容之一，雖然它們都可以表示"花費"，但用法卻不盡相同．
spend的主語必須是人，常用于以下結(jié)構(gòu)：（1）spend time/money on sth．在…上花費時間（金錢）．例：I spent two hours on this maths problem．這道數(shù)學(xué)題花了我兩個小時．（2）spend time/money （in） doing sth．花費時間（金錢）做某事．例：They spent two years （in） building this bridge．造這座橋花了他們兩年時間．cost的主語是物或某種活動，還可以表示"值"，常見用法sth．costs （sb．）+金錢，某物花了（某人）多少錢．例：A new computer costs a lot of money．買一臺新電腦要花一大筆錢．take后面常跟雙賓語，常見用法It takes sb．+時間+to do sth．做某事花了某人多少時間．例：It took them three years to build this road．他們用了三年時間修完了這條路．pay的基本用法是：（1）pay （sb．） money for sth．付錢（給某人）買…．例：I have to pay them 20 pounds for this room each month．我每個月要付20英磅的房租．（2）pay for sth．付…的錢．例：I have to pay for the book lost．我不得不賠丟失的書款．（3）pay for sb．替某人付錢．例：Don？蒺t worry!I'll pay for you．別擔(dān)心，我會給你付錢的
