A big storm destroyed two villages in South Africa on last Friday, causing 4 death. Over 200 people became homeless as a result of the storm. A farmer said the storm began early in the morning and last one hour. He said, “I was in the kitchen with my wife and children while we heard a loud noise. A few minutes late, our house fell down. I managed to climb out, but much to my shocking, one of my boys were missing. I quickly went back inside and found them safe but frightened.” Soldiers came to rescue those burying under the ruins, and the government provided food, clothes, and shelters for homeless.

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】第一处，去掉on，last Friday前不需要加介词。

第二处，death改为deaths。考查名词的单复数。4人死亡，应用复数。

第三处，last改为lasted。考查并列谓语动词的时态一致，前文began为一般过去时，此处and之后的last也应该用一般过去时，lasted。

第四处，while改为when。在引导时间状语从句时，while之后只能跟延续性动词，而hear一词是短暂性动词，故用when替代。

第五处，late改为later。later用在一段时间之后表示“…之后”，a few minutes later 几分钟之后。而late意为“迟的，晚的”。

第六处，shocking改为shock。属词类用错，此处应用名词形式。shock 名词，震惊。much to my shock使我非常震惊的是…

第七处，were改为was。考查主谓一致。one of my boys主语是one，为单数，因此谓语用was。

第八处，them改为him。代词用错。根据前文one of my boys，此处应为单数，代词宾格用him。

第九处，burying改为buried。those buried under the ruins指那些被埋在废墟里的人。

第十处，for后加the。the homeless指的是那些无家可归的人。
