Once, a man got on a bus to New York. Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, “There’s a bum (流浪汉) in toilet. Tell the bus driver.” The message was passing on from person to person. But somewhere along the way, it was changed. The bus driver told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police.

When the police came, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. As a result, a traffic jam of 15 mile long was soon caused. In the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no bomb.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述曾经在纽约一位流浪汉为了逃票躲进了厕所里，但被一名乘客发现，然后就将消息通过一个个乘客传到司机，结果传到司机那儿消息变成了厕所里有一枚炸弹。

第一处：考查连词。句意：因为他不想付钱，所以他躲在厕所里。在英语中有because没有so,有though没有but,所以去掉so.

第二处：考查人称一致。句意：但是一个乘客看到了他。根据上文提到Because he did not want to pay, so he hid in the toilet所以是男性，故改成him.

第三处：考查动词时态。句意：她轻轻拍了拍她前面人的肩膀上说。And连接tapped与say时态保持一致，所以用一般过去时。故将say改为said。

第四处：考查冠词。句意：厕所里有个流浪汉。这里的toilet为特指，故用定冠词the。故在toilet前加the。

第五处：考查动词的语态。句意：这个消息一个人一个人的传过去。消息与pass之间是被动关系，所以改成被动语态。故将passing改为passed。

第六处：考查动词的语态。句意：司机被告知厕所里有一枚炸弹。司机被告知这件事，所以用被动语态。故在told前加was。

第七处：考查副词。句意：他立即停车给警察打电话。immediately立即地修饰动词stop。故将immediate改为immediately。

第八处：考查连词。句意：他们让乘客下车并待远一点。根据前后句之间关系可知为并列关系。故将or改为and。

第九处：考查名词数。句意：结果，很快造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。名词mile为可数名词，根据前面的数词可知用复数形式。故将mile改为miles。

第十处：考查短语。短语with the help of在……帮助下。句意：在一只狗的帮助下，他们找了两个小时。故将In改为With。
