短文改錯（滿分10分）

An old man whose eyesight was failing comes to stay in a hotel, a bottle of whisky in his hand. On the wall was a fly he took for a nail. The moment he tried to hang the bottle on it, they fell and broke. When the landlady discovered what had been happened, she decided to do him favor. The next morning when he was out, the hotel worker hammered a nail exact where the “fly” had been. Before the old man came back, the smell of the whisky reminded him the accident. Looking at the spot what he thought the “fly” was again, he was so angry that he slapped it with all his strengths. On hearing the loud cry, the landlady rushed in. To her surprise, the poor old man was sitting on the floor with his teeth clenched and the palm of his hand bleed.

 

Answer 1

【答案】

 come---came     

 they--- it     

 been去掉  

 加a  

 exact--- exactly  

 Before--- When  

 加of;

 what--- where   

 strengths---- strength   

 bleed--- bleeding

【解析】

試題分析：

 come---came   本文的基本時態是一般過去時，這里的came是一個過去時。

 they--- it      it就是指前面的the bottle，故使用it指代上文的單數名詞。

 been去掉      動詞happen沒有被動語態的形式，故去掉been。

 加a            固定搭配do sb a favor幫某人一個人。

 exact--- exactly  用副詞exactly做狀語，來修飾整個句子。

 Before--- When  本句是指當老人回來的時候，酒的味道讓他想起了這個事故。

 加of; 固定搭配remind sb of sth讓某人想起某事；

 what--- where   本句是一個定語從句，先行詞是the spot，后面的定語從句句中很完整就使用where引導。

 strengths---- strength 名詞strength力氣是一個不可數名詞，沒有復數形式。

 bleed--- bleeding 名詞the palm手掌與動詞bleed構成主動關系，故使用現在分詞在句中作賓語補足語。
