背单词的好方法
随时随地背单词
不知不觉背单词
She was wearing a black skirt with white spots. 她穿着一条黑底白点的裙子。
His jacket was covered with spots of mud. 
Teenagers are worried about their spots on their faces. 
另外,还有“场所,地点,处所”之意。如:
a quiet/lonely spot 一个僻静/偏僻的地方
再回到原句中,你发现该句子中的定语从句引导词为whose, 其先行词为girl, ankle与the girl为所属关系,这时要用whose。需要强调的是,只要先行词与其后的名词构成所属关系,无论先行词为人还是物,都要用whose。如:
Tom is holding a magazine in his hand, whose cover has been worn out.

You’ve been caught cheating, now you must face the music. 
I’m astonished that he didn’t pass the exam.
他拿起书开始读。
He knocked into his teacher in the street yesterday.
当你看到有人踩上香蕉皮滑倒,你会觉得滑稽可笑吗?

定语从句中的 is twice its normal size是倍数关系的表达法,表示她的脚踝是正常大小的两倍,即脚踝肿了(swell up)。英语里倍数关系的基本表达法有三种,分别为:
A +谓语 +倍数(X times)as 形容词/副词的原级 as + B.
A + 谓语 +倍数(X times)+形容词/副词的比较级 than + B.
A + 谓语 +倍数(X times) +表示比较方面的名词(如:size, height, speed, width, depth, length, etc)of +B.
原文用的是第三种表达法:twice its normal size of her ankle. 表示“两倍”用twice,不用two times. 
倍数关系的表达必须掌握,英语阅读理解中经常考,是英语思维和阅读理解能力的一个重要体现,各个比较对象的关系必须理清楚。看2020年全国卷高考阅读理解题C篇的部分内容:

解析:本题考查情态动词。
