Once upon a time, it was a boy whose parents named him Odd(古怪的). Other children teased him about his name but kept him at a distance, thinking that he was very strange and behaved stupid. Deeply hurt, he refused to be bothered and struggle to break away from the pain. He tried to keep people off teasing him, but in vain. People continued making fun of his name—even after he became a successful lawyer. Finally, as a old man, he wrote out his last wish, “I’ve been the butt(笑柄) of jokes all my life. I’ll let others make fun of myself after I’m gone.” He insisted his tombstone not to bear his name. After his death, people passing by noticed the largest blank stone and said loudly, “Look, that’s odd.”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】it→there

【2】but→and

【3】stupid→stupidly

【4】struggle→struggled

【5】off→from

【6】a→an

【7】let前加not

【8】myself→me

【9】to去掉

【10】largest→large

【解析】

试题分析：一个叫odd的男孩从小就被人嘲笑他的名字，直至长大变老去世，一生都被这个名字所困扰的故事。

【1】it→there 句意：从前，有一个男孩，他父母叫他古怪。此句表示“有”的意思，应该用there be句型，故it改成there。

【2】but→and 前后句之间是顺承关系，不是转折关系，故but改成and。

【3】stupid→stupidly 副词修饰动词behave，所以stupid改成stupidly。

【4】struggle→struggled and连接并列句，故时态应一致，前句是过去时，所以后句也用过去时，故struggle改成struggled。

【5】off→from 此处是固定搭配keep sb from doing，表示“不让某人做某事”，因此off改成from。

【6】a→an old首字母发元音，故冠词需用an，故a改成an。

【7】let前加not 根据句意，此处是不让别人嘲笑我，应用否定，故let前加not。

【8】myself→me 根据句意，此处应用宾格代词，而不是反身代词，故myself改成me。

【9】to去掉 此处是一个宾语从句，谓语部分是（should）do,用原形，故to去掉。

【10】largest→large 此处是指大石碑，没有最高级的意思，故largest改成 large。
