42、2to prepare考查非谓语动词。have no choice but to do sth.为固定用法，意为“除了，别无选择”，符合语境，故此处用不定式形式。3which考查关系词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语，指代“to draft the speech”，故用which。4lay考查动词的时态。根据上文中的“was”可知，文中描述的事情发生在过去，故此处用一般过去时，故填lay。5was forbidden考查动词的时态和语态。forbid和句子的形式主语it之间是被动关系，且事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时的被动语态。6trembling考查with复合
43、结构。“with宾语(名词或代词)宾补”为独立主格结构。此处my legs和tremble构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式。7myself考查代词。根据语境可知，此处表示“我发现我自己恢复原状”，应为“found myself back”，故应填反身代词myself。8what 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，在从句中作主语，表示“的东西”，故用what引导该宾语从句。9confidence考查词性转换。由空前的形容词性物主代词my可知，此处用名词形式，即confidence。10greatest考查形容词最高级。根据语境和空前的定冠词the以及空后的名词difficult
44、y可知，此处应用形容词的最高级形式，故填greatest。.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。每处错误仅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：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，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。(2019昆明市教学质量检测)Our school encouraged us to experience some future careers
