37、pire others to do something for this old man, too.解析1.考查定语从句。关系代词在从句中作主语，指代前面先行词“man”。 指人，故用who/that。2考查非谓语动词。此处指作者等待别人给他提供服务。3考查固定搭配。as well as表示“也”。4考查非谓语动词。 此处过去分词作定语修饰人。5考查副词。此处缺少一个状语来修饰understanding，所以用副词形式。6考查冠词。此处是再次谈到老人，所以表示特指。7考查时态。根据句意可知服务员将会做这件事，又因为发生在过去，所以用过去将来时。8考查非谓语动词。 此处过去分词作补语，因为pho
38、to与take之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词形式。9考查连词。 本句是一个宾语从句，从句中缺少状语，表示原因，所以填why。10考查代词。此处表示对从句主语的强调，所以用反身代词himself。.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：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用()划掉。 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。(2016山东

43、s fun.解析1.句子主语为第一人称I，文章叙述的是作者自己的高中生活，因此senior year之前应用代词my。故将his改为my。2根据时间状语during my senior year in high school可知，此处叙述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故将win改为won。3go there意为“去那里”，there为副词，其前不应加介词to，故删除to。4be动词后应用形容词作表语，故将sweetly改为sweet。5根据句子结构可知，介词of后为宾语从句，like后缺宾语，指住在那里的具体情况。故将that改为what。6分析句子结构可知，that引导定语从句，且作从句的主语，其后应为谓语动词。根据句意，此处叙述过去发生的事情，谓语动词应用过去式，故将surprising改为surprised。7根据句中的many可知，应将such改为so。8此处句意为“像一样的情况”，thing意为“情况；情形”时常用复数形式，故将thing改为things。9It takes sb. some time to do sth.为固定句型，意为“做某事花费某人多少时间”，故在figure前加to。10根据句意“分辨这些不同点花费了我一小会儿时间，但是这很有趣。”可知，前后两个分句之间为转折关系，应用连词but或yet连接。故将because改为but或yet。
