22、ay，build是三个并列的动作，根据digging及building可知，lay也应用动名词形式。4the考查冠词。此处特指“地铁的顶部”，故用定冠词the。5were used考查时态和被动语态。steam engines与use是被动关系，且动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时的被动语态。6fairly考查词性转换之形容词变为副词。所填词修饰形容词unpleasant，故用fair的副词形式fairly。7it考查代词。use是及物动词，其后接宾语，此处很明显缺少代词。分析句意可知，此处用it指代上文提到的the railway。8managed考查时态。全文讲述的是发生在过去的事情，故用一般
23、过去时。9introduction考查词性转换之动词变为名词。空格前是the，其后接名词。introduce的名词形式是introduction。10successful考查词性转换之名词变为形容词。“one of the形容词最高级可数名词复数”表示“最的之一”，此处应填success的形容词形式successful。 【导学号：33220217】.短文改错(2017烟台诊断)Li Ming is a friend of mine.Im glad he changed greatly in the past two years.I clearly remember he was quite

26、I clearly remember he was quite fat two years .He got tired so that he couldnt take exercise， made him very upset.Later，he realized he went on like that，he would end up nothing.So he made up his to make a change.He went running every morning and played basketball every afternoon.Besides，he followed
27、a diet of more vegetables less meat.Gradually he began to lose weight.He is now an energetic boy in good health.So when faced with problems，we should overcome with great determination and strong willpower.第一处：在changed前加has考查时态。根据时间状语in the past two years(在过去的两年里)可知，此处表示从过去开始发生的动作，并对现在造成了影响。因此，应用现在完成
28、时。故在changed前加has。第二处：beforeago考查逻辑关系。根据上下文可知，此处讲述的是过去的事情，“时间段ago”表示“以前”，与一般过去时连用。故将before改为ago。before表示“(时间上)在以前”，常用于时间状语之前。第三处：easyeasily考查副词。easy是形容词，但此处用于修饰动词短语got tired，应用副词。故将easy改为easily。第四处：thatwhich或在that前加and考查连词。分析句子结构得知，本句中的逗号后要么是一个非限制性定语从句，要么是and连接的并列分句。如果是非限制性定语从句，则不能用that引导，先行词为前面一整句话，
29、应用which引导该从句；此处也可看作两个并列分句，that为代词，两者之间为并列关系，应用连词and连接。故将that改为which或在that前加and。第五处：unlessif考查状语从句。he went on like that(他继续像那样)是he would end up.nothing的条件，因此应用if引导条件状语从句。故将unless改为if。第六处：achieveachieving考查固定搭配。end up为固定搭配，意为“以告终”，up是介词，后接名词或动名词，故将achieve改为achieving。第七处：mindsmind考查名词。make up ones mind为固定搭配，意为“下定决心做某事”，其中mind是抽象名词，不用复数形式。故将minds改为mind。第八处：删除the考查冠词。basketball为表示球类的名词，其前不加定冠词。故删除the。第九处：orand考查逻辑关系。more vegetables和less meat之间是并列关系，而不是选择关系，因此，应用连词and连接。故将or改为and。第十处：itthem考查代词。overcome(战胜)后的代词指代前面提到的problems，为复数形式，故将it改为them。 【导学号：33220218】
