【參考答案與解析】
Passage 1
【文章出處】http://diplateevo.com/
【New words】a big gun 大人物,一把好手
1. 第一句中的had改為has。考查動詞時態(tài)。根據(jù)句中的時間狀語“now”可知,本句強調(diào)對現(xiàn)在的影響,故應用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)。
2. 第二句中的an改為a。考查冠詞。huge的第一個字母為輔音,故將an改為a。
3. 刪除第二句中的第二個it??疾榇~。“which you rightly deserved”是定語從句,deserved的賓語是關系代詞which。所以,it是多余的。
4. 第三句中的has改為have??疾橹髦^一致。從句主語是“I”,是第一人稱而非第三人稱,故不用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。
5. 第四句中的another改為other??疾榇~。another修飾單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,other修飾可數(shù)名詞的復數(shù)形式。根據(jù)本句中的“friends and relatives”可以判斷,應該用other。
6. 刪除第五句中的to??疾閯釉~不定式。“l(fā)et sb. do”是固定搭配,是省去to的不定式。
7. 第六句中的confidence改為confident??疾樵~性變換。本句中的“feel”是系動詞,需要用形容詞作表語。
8. 第七句中的increasing改為increased??疾榉侵^語動詞。increasing意為“正在增長的,日益增加的”;increased意為“增加了的,增長了的”。職位的提升意味著加重了擔子,而不是日益增加的擔子。
9. 第八句中的you與the之間加with??疾榻樵~。provide后面不可以跟雙賓語,其用法是:“provide sb. with sth.”或者是“provide sth. for sb.”。
10. 第九句中的what改為how。考查連接副詞。what在名詞性從句中一般作主語或賓語,但是在本從句中,既不缺少主語,也不缺少賓語(feel在此是不及物動詞),其句意為:對于你職務的提升這件事,你感受如何?請寫信給我。故將what改為how。
Passage 2
【文章出處】學生習作
【New Words】fare vi. 進展,detract vt.使分心cordially adv.真誠地
1. 第二句中的had改為have??疾閯釉~時態(tài)。強調(diào)到現(xiàn)在為止,沒有給我寫過信。所以應用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)。過去完成時一般表示過去的過去。
2. 第三句中的subject改為subjects??疾槊~。subject是可數(shù)名詞,其前面有all修飾,故應使用其復數(shù)形式。
3. 第四句中的the刪掉??疾楣谠~。take place意為“發(fā)生,舉行”;take the place of意為“取代”。本句描述的是婚禮的舉行日期。故應刪除the。
4. 第六句中的with改為of或about??疾榻樵~。inform sb. of/about sth.是固定結構,意為“通知某人某事”。
5. 第六句中的writing改為written??疾榉侵^語動詞。此處是非謂語動詞作定語,與被修飾詞“l(fā)etter”之間構成被動關系或者說是動賓關系,故應用過去分詞作定語。
6. 第七句中的should改為shouldn’t或者在should后面加not??疾樾形倪壿?。在上一封信中沒有說婚禮的事,當時想的是,不應該使你分心。
7. 第八句中的invite改為invited。考查動詞語態(tài)。本句主語“you”與動詞“invite”之間是被動關系,要用被動語態(tài),故應用過去分詞。
8. 第九句中的but改為and??疾檫B詞。“父母會高興”這層意思與下文“感謝你的幫忙”之間構成并列關系,故應用并列連詞and。
9. 第十句中appreciate與if之間加代詞it??疾閕t的用法。在句型“sb. would appreciate it if...”中的it作形式賓語,真正的賓語是if引導的從句。與此相似的句型還有“I really hate it when...”。
10. 第十句中的immediate改為immediately??疾楦痹~。修飾動詞reach應用副詞,作狀語。
