2、 sorry that I 6. _wont be able to come in this time. Hope you7. _can understand. Ill take this chance to wish 8. _you wonderful time on your birthday. Happy 9. _birthday, Peter, and many happy return of the day!10. _Yours,Li Ming答案及解析1. on 改為 for。動(dòng)詞 thank 與名詞 thanks 通常與介詞 for 搭配。2. much 后加 to。 Id li

3、ke to do something 為固定結(jié)構(gòu)。3. had 改為 have。綜觀全文時(shí)態(tài)可知。4. but 改為 so。根據(jù)上下文邏輯， 此處應(yīng)為因果關(guān)系。5. 刪去 all。all 與 the whole 重復(fù)， 只能保留一處， 由于在此題型中， 只有多一個(gè)單詞的可能， 故此處只能刪去 all。6. prepare 改為 preparing。與上文的 reading 形成平行結(jié)構(gòu)， 以滿足“spend some time on sth./in doing sth.這一句型的需要。7. 刪去 in。含有 this， that， last， next 等的時(shí)間狀語前不加任何介詞。8. 此行無

4、錯(cuò)。9. wonderful 前加 a。10. return 改為 returns。return 此處為名詞， many happy returns of the day 意為“祝你健康長壽” NMET 2000The day before the speech contest (比賽) English teacher1. _talked to me. She said that she and my schoolmate all 2. _wished me success, but it didnt matter that I would 3. _win or not. When I was

She was smiling but nodding at 7. _me. I remembered her words and calm down. 8. _I did a good job and won the first priz

6、e. Now my picture and the prize is hanging in the library.9. _ Whenever I see them I will often think of my English teacher. 10. _答案及解析1. teacher 前加 my。根據(jù)下行 She said that she and my schoolmate all wished me success， 可判斷 English teacher 應(yīng)是特指。2. schoolmate 改為 schoolmates。因本句中有 all 一詞， 所以 schoolmate 一詞

7、應(yīng)為復(fù)數(shù)形式。3. that 改為 whether。根據(jù)上下文， 可判斷本句意為“我是否成功沒有關(guān)系”， 所以這里用 whether。4. 此行無錯(cuò)。5. as 改為 that。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)， so 應(yīng)與 that 構(gòu)成復(fù)合句， that 引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句， 在此不能用 as 引導(dǎo)。6. 刪去a。catch sight of 為固定搭配， sight 前不加任何冠詞。7. but 改為 and。smiling 和 nodding 為兩個(gè)并列動(dòng)作， 在邏輯上無轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系， 故 but 改為 and。8. calm 改為 calmed。在 and 連接的兩個(gè)并列句中， remember 和 calm

8、 為兩個(gè)并列動(dòng)作， 為過去時(shí)態(tài)。故 calm 改為 calmed。9. is 改為 are。本句用 my picture 和 the prize 作主語， 是復(fù)數(shù)形式， 后謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)和其主語保持一致。10. 刪去often。句首已用 whenever “無論何時(shí)”， 在句中就沒必要用 often 了。2001春季I used to love science classall of them1. _biology, chemistry ,geography, physics.

10、ths. After learn the basics of the subject, 9. _nothing else seemed very practically to me . I never 10._saw how I could use it in my daily life.答案及解析1. class 改為 classes。class 為可數(shù)名詞， 根據(jù)下文， 這里 class 為復(fù)數(shù)， 故改為 classes。2. 此行無錯(cuò)。3. it 改為 they。這里指代上文的 those classes。4. what 改為 how。work 此處為不及物動(dòng)詞， 不可用連接代詞 wha

11、t 作賓語， 只可用連接副詞 how 作狀語。5. 刪去 rain 前的 the。此處 rain 為泛指。6. it 前加 why。根據(jù)上下文邏輯， 此處意為“在課上， 我明白了天為什么會(huì)下雨”。7. is 改為 are。8. look 前加 to。需用不定式作定語。9. learn 改為 learning。此處 after 為介詞， 后需用動(dòng)名詞作賓語。10. practically 改為 practical。seem 在此句中作系動(dòng)詞， 其后應(yīng)用形容詞作表語。NMET 2001Like most of my schoolmates, I have neither brothers 1._n

Do they 9._really understand their own daughter? What things are in 10._other homes, I wonder.答案及解析1. 此行無錯(cuò)。2. 刪去 other

14、 前的 any。in other words 為固定搭配， 意為“換句話說”。3. can 后加 to。此處不定式為目的狀語。4. did 改為do。縱觀全文， 應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。5. family 改為 home。family 多指由家庭成員、 婚姻維系的“家”， 而 home 則多指“住所”。另外， at home 為固定搭配。6. subject 改為 subjects。subject 屬可數(shù)名詞， all 后應(yīng)用其復(fù)數(shù)。7. a 改為the 。same 作定語時(shí)前面一般用定冠詞。8. 刪去 talk 后的 about。9. and 改為or。a visitor 和 a guest 屬不

15、同類的兩種人， 故不可用 and 連接， 需用or表示選其一。10. What 改為 How。此處是 I wonder 引導(dǎo)的賓語從句， 意為“我想知道在別人家里的情況是怎樣的”。2002春季My brother Tom was very selfish when he was a little boy.He did not want share things with other people.

17、ng. But 9. _he is difference now. He often helps grandma 10._with housework, helps mom with cooking and helps hisclassmates with their lessons.答案及解析1. want 后加 to。want to do sth. 為固定搭配。2. them 改為 it。依據(jù)上下文， 前句 a chocolate cake 為可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)， 后邊的代詞顯然用 it， 而不是 them。3. where 改為 which/that 或刪去 where。此為定語從句， 先行詞

18、 place在從句中作 find 的賓語， 只能用關(guān)系代詞 which 或 that 或省略。4. other 改為 others 。不定代詞 other 指另一個(gè)， 而 others 指另一些。5. 第一個(gè) is 改為 was。此題考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。6.making 改為 made。本句缺少謂語， 需要把making 改為 make 的一般過去時(shí)態(tài)。7. 此行無錯(cuò)。8. 刪去 on。one night 前不需要任何介詞。9. loudly 改為 loud。loudly 是副詞， 此處修飾名詞 music， 應(yīng)用形容詞。10. difference 改為 different。應(yīng)用形容詞與系動(dòng)詞一

19、起構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu)。NMET 2002Last week my parents and I took a two-day trip to EmeiMountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows, its famous1. _mountain with all kinds of plants and animals.

The time passes quickly.7. _Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at8. _the top of the mountain. The food was expensive and 9. _

21、the service was good. I was so tired that I fell asleepat the moment my head touched the pillow.10. _答案及解析1. famous 前加 a。mountain 為可數(shù)名詞。又是第一次被談及， 故應(yīng)在 famous 前加不定冠詞。2. 此行無錯(cuò)。3. noon 后加 when 。It was about noon 是主句， 后面的應(yīng)為從句， 故在 noon 后加when， 此處 when 意為“在時(shí)候”。4. them 改為 us。綜觀全文可知， 此文是用第一人稱的口吻來敘述的。5. visiti

22、ng 改為 visited。此處climbed， visited 和 told 構(gòu)成并列謂語。6. picture 改為 pictures。7. passes 改為 passed。應(yīng)與全文時(shí)態(tài)一致。8. 刪去 down。9. and 改為 but。飯菜很貴不是一件令人愉快的事， 而服務(wù)質(zhì)量很高確實(shí)是一件好事， 故前后為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。10. 刪去 at。the moment直接引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句。2002北京卷What should you do when your parents become1. _angry?

24、 _parents that they dont expectlike cooking, doing the dishes, washing clothes, or clean 8. _the floors. If this doesnt work , bring in friend that you 9. _feel comfortable, and have him or her help you.10. _答案及解析1. 此行無錯(cuò)。2. got 改為get。通讀全篇， 可知道本文基本時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。3. Remembering 改為 Remember。本句為祈使句， 表示建議， 主語

25、省略。4. they 改為 it。they 前為轉(zhuǎn)折連詞 but， 表明其后為一個(gè)句子， 這里應(yīng)用 it 代表前面整個(gè)句子。如： Toms mother kept telling him that he should study harder， but it didnt help。此處的代詞 it， 代替“Toms mother kept telling him that he should study harder”這一句子的內(nèi)容。5. life 改為 lives。這是考查名詞的數(shù)， life 是可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)， 句子主語用的是they， 與其一致應(yīng)用lives。6. 刪去 for。因?yàn)?ch

26、ange 作“改換”講時(shí)為及物動(dòng)詞。如： Can you change me one yuan note?你能兌換一元零錢給我嗎?而 change for作“轉(zhuǎn)換車到”解。如： Where should you change for Guilin? 你在什么地方轉(zhuǎn)車到桂林去?7. any 改為 some。any 一般用于疑問句、 否定句、 條件從句中， 而 some 一般用于肯定句中。此處為祈使肯定式， 故用 some。8. clean 改為 cleaning。應(yīng)與 cooking， doing， washing 一致， 作介詞賓語。9. friend 前加 a。friend 為普通可數(shù)名詞單

27、數(shù)， 其前應(yīng)加不定冠詞 a。10. comfortable 后加 fortable with 意為“與自在/愉快”。例如：She feels comfortable with those who speaks English。她和講英語的人談話覺得很自在。 2003春季Many teachers worry about the effects of television on youngpeople.

Because 后面加 of。此處 so much viewing 相當(dāng)

30、于一個(gè)名詞， 故加 of。3. 刪去 be。此處 may not develop 已經(jīng)構(gòu)成謂語動(dòng)詞部分， be 屬于多余。4. read 改為 reading。of 為介詞， 后面需要接名詞、 代詞、 動(dòng)名詞作賓語。5. program 改為 gram 為可數(shù)名詞， 且根據(jù)句意， 此處應(yīng)為復(fù)數(shù)概念。6. noise 改為 noisy。noise 為名詞， noisy 為形容詞。此處應(yīng)用形容詞構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu)。7. On 改為 In。根據(jù)上下文邏輯， 此處意為“在一年中”。8. 此行無錯(cuò)。9. 刪去第二個(gè) to。make sb. do sth. 為固定搭配， 意為“讓某人做某事”。10. real

31、改為really。此處應(yīng)用副詞修飾謂語動(dòng)詞 dont need。NMET 2003When I first learned to write in English， I ran into 1. _many difficulties.

37、”。3. well前加as。as well as“跟(做得)一樣好”。4. to改為at。laugh to.意為“對(duì)大笑”。laugh at.意為“嘲笑”， 有明顯的、 有意的敵意的含義， 根據(jù)后文and see me as a fool， 故應(yīng)用laugh at才對(duì)。5. 此行無錯(cuò)誤。6. that改為why。that引導(dǎo)賓語從句， 本身無意義， 只起連接作用。7. talked改為talk。整篇文章敘述的都是現(xiàn)在的情況。改為現(xiàn)在時(shí)， 使其與上下文一致。 8. stranger改為strangers。與句子主語we一致。9. since改為but。根據(jù)上下文， 前后句之間為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。 10.
