One day father and mother was waiting at the table for their sons to have lunch. She waited and waited but their son didn’t show up. Mother was sent father to look for their son in his bedroom. To his surprised, their son was lying on his stomach on the floor, totally losing in a book. Father orders their son to leave for food and he himself never returned to the table. Having waited impatient, mother sent their son back to look for his father, only to find that his father was doing exactly same as he had done on the floor.

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】1.was→were 考查be动词单复数形式。主语“father and mother”是非第三人称单数，谓语动词用复数。故was改为were

2.sons→son 考查上下文一致。根据“but their son didn’t show up.”可知，文中“son”为单数。故sons改为son.

3.she→they 考查原文理解。根据“their son didn’t show up.”的“their”及下文可知，“father”和“mother”都在等，故she改为their.

4. was sent→sent考查语态。由语境可知：母亲派父亲去卧室里找他们的儿子。不需要被动，股删去was.

5.surprised→surprise 考查短语搭配。“让某人意外”的表达为“to one’s surprise”,故surprised改为surprise.

6.losing→lost 考查固定搭配。“沉迷于”的表达为“lost in sth”，故losing改为lost.

7.orders→ordered 考查时态一致。全文使用的是一般过去时，因此order也需要用一般过去时形式，故orders改为ordered.

8.and→but 考查转折。“父亲叫儿子来吃饭”和“父亲一直没出现”在意思上是转折而非递进，故and改为but.

9.impatient→impatiently 考查副词。“不耐烦”修饰“wait”,wait是一个动词，因此需要用副词修饰，故impatient改为impatiently.

10.︿the 考查固定搭配。“与...一样”的表达为“the same as”，the不可省略，故增加the.
