The man said to the other in surprise, “Its too bad, but I hadnt thought the dog could understand English.”难项分析：第五处：barkedbarking考查非谓语动词。句意：突然从房间里面冲出一条狗，对着他们叫。分析句子结构可知，此处应用bark的非谓语动词形式作状语，bark的逻辑主语a dog与bark之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故将barked改成barking。第九处：删除a考查固定短语。in surprise为固定短语，意为“惊讶地”。故删除a。第十处：whatthat考查宾语从句的连接词。句意：太糟糕了，但是我没有想到这只狗懂英语。thought后面是宾语从句，宾语从句中不缺成分，意思也是完整的，应用that引导。故将what改成that。
