【題目】假定英語課上老師要求同桌之間交換修改作文，請你修改你同桌寫的以下作文。作文中共有10 處錯誤，每句中最多有兩處。錯誤涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改。

About five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes(圣女果) in our back garden. Since then—for all these year—we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】before→ago

【2】by→of

【3】year→years

【4】had→have

【5】result前面加a

【6】somewhere→everywhere

【7】taste→tasty

【8】much→many

【9】刪掉but/but→yet

【10】wonderfully→wonderful

【解析】

試題分析：

【1】before→ago 時間短語在前面，故應該用ago，before用在時間短語前面而不是后面。

【2】by→of 此處with the help of...“在……的幫助下”，為固定短語。

【3】year→years 句中year是可數(shù)名詞，前面的these應修飾復數(shù)形式的名詞。

【4】had→have 時間狀語since then表示“從那時以來”，通常和現(xiàn)在完成時連用，而不是過去完成時。

【5】result前面加a as a result意為“結果”，為固定短語。

【6】somewhere→everywhere 這里“到處都有”,所以用everywhere。

【7】taste→tasty 本句中small，juicy和tasty是并列的表語，都要用形容詞。

【8】much→many 根據(jù)前面的be動詞are和后面的them可知，應是代替可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)的many。

【9】刪掉but/but→yet 引導讓步狀語從句的although不能和連詞but連用，但是可以和副詞yet連用。所以可以刪掉but，也可以把but改為yet。

【10】wonderfully→wonderful 修飾名詞應用形容詞。

【知識歸納】

with the help of...在……的幫助下；as a result 結果
