There was a man who had a lot of money but hated sharing with it, even with his wife. When he was close to die, he made his wife promise that she’d put all her money in the casket with him, for he wanted to take away all his fortune. Soon the man died and his funeral took place. After the casket was closed, his wife shouted to wait a minute and put the box inside. Everyone was amazed, thought she was a woman of her promise. After the casket buried, one of the man’s dearest friends asked the wife if she had really put all the man’s money in the casket. The wife immediate answered that she had to keep her words. She said she had put all his money into her account and then wrote him a check.

【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文,曾经有一个人有很多钱,但讨厌和别人分享财富,他甚至要求死后把所有的钱都随身带走。在他死后,他妻子把所有钱都存好,写好一张支票放在他的棺材里。
第一处:考查动词。句意:曾经有一个人有很多钱,但讨厌和别人分享财富。动词share意为“分享”是及物动词,后面直接加宾语,介词with是多余的。所以删除with。
第二处:考查名词。句意:当他快要死的时候,他让他的妻子发誓把他所有的钱都放在棺材里。在英语里介词的后面要接名词或动名词充当宾语,句中用名词death作宾语。所以要把die改为death。
第三处:考查代词。句意:当他快要死的时候,他让他的妻子发誓把他所有的钱都放在棺材里。句中主语he是男性,要用his指代他,而her指代女性,所以要把her改为his。
第四处:考查连词。句意:在棺材被关闭之前,他的妻子大喊等一下,然后把一个盒子放了进去。根据句意可知妻子放盒子是在关闭棺材之前,要用before,所以要把After改为Before。
第五处:考查冠词。句意:在棺材被关闭之前,他的妻子大喊等一下,然后把一个盒子放了进去。句中不定冠词a修饰单数可数名词box表示泛指,而the表示特指,所以要把the改为a。
第六处:考查非谓语动词。句意:所有人都很惊讶,认为她是一个信守诺言的人。动词think与主语everyone构成主动关系,要用现在分词做伴随状语,所以要把thought改为thinking。
第七处:考查时态。句意:在棺材被埋葬以后,这位男人最好的一个朋友问她是否真的把所有的前都放在棺材里。名词the casket与动词bury构成被动关系,要用被动语态,所以要在casket后加was。
第八处:考查副词。句意:妻子立刻回答她不得不信守诺言。在英语里副词通常充当状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子。句中用副词immediately修饰动词answer。所以要填immediately。
第九处:考查固定短语。句意:妻子立刻回答她不得不信守诺言。动词短语keep one’s word信守诺言。所以要把words改为word。
第十处:考查时态。句意:她说她把所有的钱都存在她的账户里,并且给他写了一张支票。句中连词and连接并列结构,都应该使用过去完成时,要用过去分词构成完成时,所以要把wrote改为written。
