【解析】
试题分析:本文叙述了作者有一次发现有人在聊天室用英语交流,有的人的口语比作者的口语要好,他向他们征求了一些意见,并且经过在网上聊天,作者的口语有了明显的提高,后来就能和大学生自由交流了。
考查冠词。因为chat room 聊天室是可数名词,这里又不表示特指,故用不定冠词a.
考查介词。这里指用某种语言应该用介词in.
考查动词。因为这是过去的发生的事情所以用过去式found.
考查代词。相比较的对象必须是同类的,前面是the spoken English 所以用mine="my" spoken English.
考查名词。因为advice是不可数名词所以不能用复数。
考查连词。but表示前后是转折关系; so表示前后是因果关系。
考查动词短语。这里是spend +some time+(in)+doing,所以用practicing.
考查形容词。much修饰不可数名词;many修饰可数名词,这里words and expressions是可数名词。
考查动词。因为as 在这里是连词,所以go应该用谓语动词,根据上下文可知这里必须用过去式,故用went.
考查副词。free是形容词;freely是副词,这里修饰动词。
考点:短文改错。
点评:文中考查了形容词、副词、冠词、代词及动词等的用法及意义,需要考生有扎实的基础知识。需要会分析复杂的句子结构进而判断用该词的什么形式。
I began working in journalism(新闻工作) when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to“make something”of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was suppertime,I walked back home.
“How many did you sell,my boy?”my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God,Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in,“Well,I’ve decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币).It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence(自信),and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day,I told my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,”she replied,“you’ll become a good-for-nothing.”She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
