39、helps grandma 10._with housework, helps mom with cooking and helps hisclassmates with their lessons.答案及解析1. want 后加 to。want to do sth. 为固定搭配。2. them 改为 it。依据上下文, 前句 a chocolate cake 为可数名词单数, 后边的代词显然用 it, 而不是 them。3. where 改为 which/that 或删去 where。此为定语从句, 先行词 place在从句中作 find 的宾语, 只能用关系代词 which 或 that
40、或省略。4. other 改为 others 。不定代词 other 指另一个, 而 others 指另一些。5. 第一个 is 改为 was。此题考查动词的时态。6.making 改为 made。本句缺少谓语, 需要把making 改为 make 的一般过去时态。7. 此行无错。8. 删去 on。one night 前不需要任何介词。9. loudly 改为 loud。loudly 是副词, 此处修饰名词 music, 应用形容词。10. difference 改为 different。应用形容词与系动词一起构成系表结构。短文改错。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改增加:在缺词出加一个漏字符
