43、名词短语作主语，故把Be改成Being。3.listened前加had考查虚拟语气。句意：我意识到如果我以前更认真地听老师讲课的话，情况会变得更好。此处是if引导的虚拟语气，与过去的事实相反，所以if条件句用过去完成时，故在listened前加had。4.attentiveattentively考查副词。副词修饰动词，故把attentive改成attentively。5.helpshelp考查固定搭配。turn to sb. for help “向某人求助”，故把helps改成help。6.learnlearning考查固定搭配。be devoted todevote oneself to “
44、致力于，专心于”，此处to是介词，后面用名词或动名词作宾语，故把learn改成learning。7.muchmore考查比较级。这里表示“我完全同意”。否定词和比较级连用表示最高级的意思，故把much改成more。8.expectexpectation考查名词。形容词性物主代词修饰名词，故把expect改成expectation，意为“出乎我预期的是”。9.whichwhere考查表语从句的连接词。句意：中文是我的优势所在。which(哪一个)，表示一种选择，作主语或宾语；where(在哪里)，作地点状语，故把which改成where。10.forto考查固定短语。be grateful to sb. “对某人心存感激”，故把for改成to。
