On a Friday night, a poor young artist was playing with his violin at a street corner with a large piece of paper on the ground. Before long, he was surrounding with people, who were all attracted by the word on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman put an important thing into my hat with mistake. Please come to claim them soon.” Seeing this, people wondered why it could be. Some time later, a man came and take back his lottery which won a prize of ＄500,000. When asked why he didn’t keep it for himself, artist said, “While I don’t have much money, I live happy. However, if I lose honest, I won’t be happy forever.”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】play with --- 去掉with

【2】surrounding --- surrounded

【3】word --- words

【4】with (mistake) --- by

【5】them --- it

【6】why --- what

【7】take --- took

【8】artist --- 前加上 the

【9】happy --- happily

【10】honest --- honesty

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】play with --- 去掉with 考查固定搭配。短语play the/one’s violin弹奏小提琴。不需要介词with。

【2】surrounding --- surrounded 考查语态。句义：不久以后，他就被一群人包围着。

【3】word --- words 考查名词单复数。本句中word表示“字”，他在纸上写的应该有很多字，所以使用复数形式。 句意：不久以后，他就被人们包围中，人们都被他写在纸上的字所吸引。

【4】with (mistake) --- by 考查固定搭配。介词短语by mistake错误地；句意：昨天晚上，有一个人错误地把一个东西放在我的帽子里，请来认领它。

【5】them --- it 考查代词。句意：昨天晚上，有一个人错误地把一个东西放在我的帽子里，请来认领它。上句中是单数名词an important thing，所以使用it指代上文提到的单数可数名词。

【6】why --- what 考查宾语从句。本句中what引导宾语从句，并在句中充当系动词be后面的表语。Why属于连接副词，在句中只能充当状语，不能做表语。

【7】take --- took 考查时态。本句中连词and连接两个并列谓语动词，came和took，都应该使用一般过去时。

【8】artist --- 前加上 the 考查定冠词。本句在artist前加定冠词the表示特指，特指上文提及的那个在街上卖艺的年轻人。

【9】happy --- happily 考查副词。在英语中通常使用副词充当状语修饰动词、形容词或副词。本句中使用副词happily修饰动词live。

【10】honest --- honesty 考查名词。本句中名词honesty充当动词lose的宾语，形容词honest通常是不能充当宾语，只能做定语。
