Last Friday, I was standing near a subway exit, tried to call a taxi. But no luck. Then I thought of the taxi-booking app my friend has recommended and I booked a taxi through my cellphone. Soon it came, and I stepped in, feeling pretty proudly of my high-tech way and satisfied with the convenience brought by the app. So later, I was upset to find that the driver was busy looking his cellphone to get the next order. It was just then when I began to worry about my safety. What’s bad, the driver’s informations might be unreliable. How can we passengers’ legal rights be protecting if something bad happens? So be careful when you use the taxi-booking app the next time.
【答案】
【1】tried-trying
【2】has-had
【3】proudly-proud
【4】so-but/yet
【5】looking后加at
【6】when-that
【7】bad-worse
【8】informations-information
【9】protecting-protected
【10】去掉the
【解析】试题分析:本文叙述的是作者利用出租车预订应用程序坐出租车的经历。
【1】tried→trying 此处是现在分词表伴随状态,故把tried改为trying。
【2】has→had 句意:我想到了我的朋友推荐的出租车预订应用程序。根据句意可知,此处应该用过去完成时态,故把has改为had。
【3】proudly→proud 固定词组:feel proud of感到自豪,故把proudly改为proud。
【4】So→But或Yet 句意:可是后来我发现司机忙着看他的手机。根据句意可知此处表示转折,故把So改为But或Yet。
【5】looking后面加at 句意:司机忙着看他的手机。look是不及物动词,后面要接宾语必须加at,故在looking后面加at。
【6】when→that 此处是强调句型,“就在那个时候我开始担忧我的安全”。故把when改为that。
【7】bad→worse 固定结构:what’s worse更糟糕的是。故把bad 改为worse。
【8】informations→information information是不可数名词,故把informations改为information。
【9】protecting→protected 句意:我们青少年的合法权利被保护。此处是含情态动词的被动语态。故把protecting 改为protected。
【10】去掉next time前面的the next time下一次,此处表示将来,故去掉next time前面的the。
【知识拓展】
1.强调句型的用法
在英语中,我们常用It is/was… who/that结构来突出强调句子的某一成分(一般是句子中主语,宾语或状语)。在这个句型中,it没有词汇意义,只是引出被强调的成分。如果被强调的成分是表示人的词,用who或that来连接都可以。如果是其它成分,则一律用that来连接。It is my mother who/that cooks every day.是我的妈妈每天做饭;It was yesterday that Tom passed in the maths exam.是昨天汤姆通过了数学考试。
2.被强调成分是主语,who/that之后的谓语动词应该在人称和数上与原句中的主语保持一致。It is I who am right.It is he who is wrong. It is the students who are lovely.
3.被强调部分既包括人又包括物,用that不用who。lt was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about.
4.区分定语从句和强调句型某些定语从句和强调句型形式差不多,容易混淆。如果去掉it is/was ...that句子仍然通顺成立,则为强调句型,不成立不通顺,则为定语从句。It was three years ago that he went to American for a further study去掉It was that句子为Three years ago he went to America for a further study.句子通顺,意思完整,那么,这就是一个强调句型。
