這篇文章介紹了美國的郵局。在美國的每個鎮(zhèn)上都有郵局，你能夠在郵局寄出信件。如果你不知道郵費是多少，你可以問郵局的職員。如果距離較遠(yuǎn)可以用航空郵件，但是比較貴。你還可以寄明信片，但不能郵寄出國。

【1】句意：其他郵局是更大的建筑。

分析句子可知，此處表示“其他郵局”，用英語表達(dá)是others，此處構(gòu)成“some…others…”短語，翻譯為“一些……其他……”，又因為用在句首首字母需大寫，故答案為Others。

【2】句意：如果你知道你的信郵資是多少，你可以在任何一個窗口買郵票。

分析句子可知，此處表示“在……”，此處后加的是小地方any window，所以用介詞at即可，故答案為at。

【3】句意：如果你不確定你的信需要多少郵資。

分析句子可知，此處表示“確定的”，用英語表達(dá)是sure，此處構(gòu)成“be sure+賓語從句”結(jié)構(gòu)，故答案為sure。

【4】句意：他或她會給你你所需要的郵票。

分析句子可知，此處表示“需要”，用英語表達(dá)是need，此處用于the stamps后的定語從句中作謂語，故答案為need。

【5】句意：一張明信片比一封信更便宜。

分析句子可知，此處表示“更便宜的”，“便宜的”用英語表達(dá)是cheap，因為句中有than，所以應(yīng)用形容詞比較級形式，故答案為cheaper。
