　　sport? I look forward to hear from you soon. 10. ______

　　Yours,

　　Li Hua

　　答案及解析

　　1. learn 改為 learnt或learned。

　　2. to 后加 be 或 become。

　　3. 刪去more。第一次告訴 Bob 關于自己的一些事情， 此處用 more 不合邏輯。

　　4. where 改為 which。在此非限定性定語從句中， 關系詞在從句中作主語， 故用 which。

　　5. 此行無錯。

　　6. subject 改為 subjects。quits a few 意為“相當多”， 修飾可數名詞復數。

　　7. use 改為 used。據下文 but now 可知， 此處應用used to do 表示“過去常常 做某事”。

　　8. interesting 改為 interested。be interested in…為固定短語， “對……感興趣”。

　　9. What 后加 is。此句無謂語。

　　10. hear 改為 hearing。look forward to doing sth.為固定短語。

　　our school football team. We practise for three times 2. _______

　　every week and often watch football match on TV 3. _______

　　player must obey captain, who is the leader of 9. _______

　　the team. And they must not break the rules too 10. ______

　　often if we want to win the game.

　　答案及解析

　　1. was 改為 am。綜觀全篇時態可知。

　　2.刪去 for。time 表示次數時， 之前一般無介詞， 直接用作狀語。如： We have meals three times a day。

　　3. match 改為 matches。

　　4. Play 改為 Playing。此處應用動名詞作主語， 表示經常性、 習慣性動作， 而動詞不定式作主語則表示一兩次的動作。

　　5. give 改為 gives。此處和上文 makes 一起作謂語， 屬平行結構。

　　6. 此行無錯。

　　7. instead 后加 of。instead 為副詞， instead of 為介詞短語。此處接賓語 ourselves， 需用介詞短語。

　　8. important 改為 importance。

　　9. captain 前后 the。像 chairman， captain， monitor， mayor 這類詞表示職務時， 前面用零冠詞。但如這類職務用于指某人時， 前面用定冠詞。

　　10. they 改為 we。

　　The Problem with Television

　　ago I was used to watch it every night. I was often 2. _______

　　a little tired after a day’s work and watch TV 3. _______

　　the others spent a lot time arguing and there 8. _______

　　was no way of settling the matter except by 9. _______

　　selling the TV set. Now someone at home reads instead. 10. ______

　　答案及解析

　　1. 刪去 much。“I can’t watch much television”意為“我不能看許多電視”， 上下文邏輯不通。much 屬于多余。

　　2. 刪去 was。由上文句意可知“我現在不看電視， 而過去每晚都看電視”， 因此應用 used to do。

　　3. watch 改為 watching。作句子主語需用動名詞。

　　4. Unfortunate 改為 Unfortunately。此處應用副詞作狀語。

　　5. among 改為 in。“in my family”為習慣搭配， 意為“在我家中”。

　　6. the 改為 one。由下文的another可知， 上文用one。

　　7. am 改為 was。綜觀全文時態可知。

　　8. a lot 后加 of。

　　9. 此行無錯。

　　10. someone 改為 everyone 或 everybody。someone 意為“某個人”； everyone/ everybody 意為“每個人”。根據上下文邏輯可知。2000 春季

　　Dear Peter,

　　Thanks very much on inviting me to your birthday 1. _______

　　party on Sunday. I’d like very much come but 2. _______

　　had an examination on Monday morning. It is 3. _______

　　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。動詞 thank 與名詞 thanks 通常與介詞 for 搭配。

　　2. much 后加 to。 I’d like to do something 為固定結構。

　　3. had 改為 have。綜觀全文時態可知。

　　4. but 改為 so。根據上下文邏輯， 此處應為因果關系。

　　5. 刪去 all。all 與 the whole 重復， 只能保留一處， 由于在此題型中， 只有多一個單詞的可能， 故此處只能刪去 all。

　　6. prepare 改為 preparing。與上文的 reading 形成平行結構， 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 等的時間狀語前不加任何介詞。

　　8. 此行無錯。

　　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”。

　　The 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 didn’t matter that I would 3. _______

　　win or not. When I was on the stage the next day, I felt 4. _______

　　so nervous as I shook like a leaf. There were so many 5. _______

　　people present! Suddenly, I caught a sight of my English 6. _______

　　teacher in the crowd. 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 prize.

　　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。根據下行 She said that she and my schoolmate all wished me success， 可判斷 English teacher 應是特指。

　　2. schoolmate 改為 schoolmates。因本句中有 all 一詞， 所以 schoolmate 一詞應為復數形式。

　　3. that 改為 whether。根據上下文， 可判斷本句意為“我是否成功沒有關系”， 所以這里用 whether。

　　4. 此行無錯。

　　5. as 改為 that。根據句子結構， so 應與 that 構成復合句， that 引導結果狀語從句， 在此不能用 as 引導。

　　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 為兩個并列動作， 在邏輯上無轉折關系， 故 but 改為 and。

　　8. calm 改為 calmed。在 and 連接的兩個并列句中， remember 和 calm 為兩個并列動作， 為過去時態。故 calm 改為 calmed。

　　9. is 改為 are。本句用 my picture 和 the prize 作主語， 是復數形式， 后謂語動詞應和其主語保持一致。

　　10. 刪去often。句首已用 whenever “無論何時”， 在句中就沒必要用 often 了。

　　I used to love science class—all of them—1. _______

　　biology, chemistry ,geography, physics. I think I 2. _______

　　liked those classes because I felt that it helped me 3. _______

　　That was maths. 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 為可數名詞， 根據下文， 這里 class 為復數， 故改為 classes。

　　2. 此行無錯。

　　3. it 改為 they。這里指代上文的 those classes。

　　4. what 改為 how。work 此處為不及物動詞， 不可用連接代詞 what 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。根據上下文邏輯， 此處意為“在課上， 我明白了天為什么會下雨”。

　　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， 后需用動名詞作賓語。

　　10. practically 改為 practical。seem 在此句中作系動詞， 其后應用形容詞作表語。

　　NMET 2001

　　Like most of my schoolmates, I have neither brothers 1._______

　　nor sisters—in any other words, I am an only child. 2._______

　　My parents love me dearly of course and will do all they can 3._______

　　make sure that I get a good education. They did not want 4._______

　　me to do any work at family; they want me to 5._______

　　devote all my time to my studies so that

　　I’ll get good marks in all my subject. 6. _______

　　as if my parents treat me as a visitor and a guest. 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。

　　2. 刪去 other 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， 應用一般現在時態。

　　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 屬可數名詞， all 后應用其復數。

　　7. a 改為the 。same 作定語時前面一般用定冠詞。

　　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. For 1._______

　　example, when he bought a chocolate cake, he put them 2._______

　　in a secret place where I couldn’ t find it. Then he 3. _______

　　loudly music till four o’clock in the morning. But 9. _______

　　he is difference now. He often helps grandma 10.______

　　with housework, helps mom with cooking and helps his

　　classmates 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。依據上下文， 前句 a chocolate cake 為可數名詞單數， 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 place在從句中作 find 的賓語， 只能用關系代詞 which 或 that 或省略。

　　4. other 改為 others 。不定代詞 other 指另一個， 而 others 指另一些。

　　5. 第一個 is 改為 was。此題考查動詞的時態。

　　6.making 改為 made。本句缺少謂語， 需要把making 改為 make 的一般過去時態。

　　7. 此行無錯。

　　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， 應用形容詞。

　　10. difference 改為 different。應用形容詞與系動詞一起構成系表結構。
