1.我把这句拆成这样,也许你就懂了
As in Australia（状语）,
the first settlers in New Zealand found many strange birds and animals （主句,因为in New Zealand修饰settlers,所以把它提前了）
that（你可能错打成了the) exist nowhere else in the world.(定语从句)
就像在澳大利亚,那些最早在新西兰的移居者发现了许多奇异的鸟类和动物,而这些鸟类和动物在世界其它任何地方都是不存在的.
2.The strom died away (退去,消失) at last with the golden waves beating the shore in peace.
风暴终于随着金色的海浪轻轻拍打着海岸而平息了下来.
3.Is it good to look up every new word when I come across it in reading
我在阅读中一遇到生词时就去查字典好吗?
4.The cost of the various repairs amounts in total to just over a hundred pounds.
各种维修费用总共加起来刚好超过了一百英镑.
