1. Please let me know *your availability* when you send me the email. 2. Sea level rise can increase the height of storm waves, putting more areas *at risk of damage*. 3. The letter must have *been in the drawer* for such a long time that it has *turned yellow*. 4.

解析

本题考查名词化转换和固定短语替换能力，需要将句中冗长的表达转换为更简洁的名词短语或固定搭配。解题核心在于：

  1. 识别可转换的动词/短语，如"be free"可转化为"availability"
  2. 替换常用固定短语，如"in danger of"替换为"at risk of"
  3. 调整句式结构，用名词作主语替代从句开头（如第5题）

第1题

原句中的"the days when you are free"是描述时间段的冗长表达。名词化转换为"availability"更简洁，符合商务英语习惯。

第2题

"in danger of damage"是常见表达，但固定短语"at risk of"在学术写作中更常用，且搭配更简洁。

第3题

  1. "sat in the drawer"改为"been in the drawer"更符合英语习惯表达
  2. "has become yellow"中动词"turn"更贴切描述颜色变化，且与前面"must have"搭配更自然

第4题

  1. "not far from"的同义词替换为"close to"更简洁
  2. "by bicycle"改为"cycles to school"使表达更口语化自然

第5题

将重复的"when the color turns"结构改为用颜色名词作主语，并通过"indicate/suggest"区分两种情况，使表达更专业。
