31、e is thinking about his studies and future plans.M：Good idea.Ill take your advice.【语篇解读】这是一段对话，对话围绕Jack的两个孩子的学习情况展开，一个爱学习，一个爱玩。13studying考查动名词。固定短语stop doing sth“停止做某事”，符合语境。14to be考查固定短语。be likely to do sth为固定短语。15has been working考查现在完成进行时。根据时间状语“every evening for months on end recently”可知，此处应用现在完成
32、进行时，表示某一动作从过去某一时间开始一直延续到现在或离现在不远的时间，故用has been working。16attend/enter考查动词短语。表示“上大学”可以用动词attend或enter。17himself考查反身代词。或许将来他自己会成为一位大学教授。此处用反身代词himself，表示“他自己”。18But考查连词。根据语境可知，此处应用转折连词But。19for考查介词。句意：但是有时候“我”希望他能出去玩得开心，改变一下。for a change意为“改变一下”，为固定短语，符合语境。20rarely考查副词。句意：Mark的老师说他有能力，但是他很少尽他最大的努力。此处用
33、副词rarely“很少”修饰动词。21rushes考查一般现在时。句意：他每天花十分钟做他的家庭作业，然后冲出去踢足球。此处and连接两个并列谓语动词does和rushes。22what考查宾语从句。句意：或许你现在可以和他谈谈，弄清楚他对于学习和未来是如何想的。分析句子成分可知，在该宾语从句中，thinking缺少宾语，故用what引导。.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错
