Failure comes to us now and then.I suffered painful failure in the exam hold the other day,and it helped me find a new self.Before the exam,I had promised my parents that I will get the best marks in all my subjects.However,I took everything for granted,ignoring my teachers’ advice or paying little attention to my homework.Therefore,I failed two of my favorite subjects,math and physics,what surprised everyone include myself.Looking at back,I realized that it was our overconfidence that led to the failure.Only if we are modest and work hard will we are able to have the chance to achieve our goal.
【答案】
【解析】第一处:考察冠词。句意:我在前天的考试中遭受了一次痛苦的失败。这里没有特指是哪个“failure”,所以应加上不定冠词a.
第二处:考察非谓语动词。held the other day为过去分词做后置定语,修饰the exam,表示“前天举行的考试”。因为the exam和hold之间为动宾关系,所以用hold的过去分词形式做后置定语。故将hold改为held.
第三处:考察时态。根据前文I had promised my parents 可知时态为一般过去时,故将will改为would.
第四处:考察连词。句意:我认为所有事情都是理所当然的,忽视了老师的建议,也没有在意家庭作业。分析可知ignoring my teachers’ advice和paying little attention to my homework表示作者做的两件事,为并列关系。句子为肯定句,故将or改为and.
第五处:考察非限制性定语从句。分析可知which surprised everyone including myself为非限制性定语从句,故将what改为which.
第六处:考察非谓语动词。including sth.=sth. included,表示“包括某物”,通常在句子中充当非谓语做状语。结合语境,“包括我自己”应表达为“including myself”,故将include改为including。
第七处:考察介词。句意:再回首,我才意识到正是我的过度自信导致了失败。look at表示“看着某物”,look back表示“往后看,回首”。根据语境可知要将at去掉。
第八处:考察代词。根据语境可知作者要表达的是“是我的过度自信导致了失败”,故将our改为my。
第九处:考察动词。Only if we are modest and work hard will we be able to have the chance to achieve our goals为部分倒装句。句中情态动词will提到主语we之前,谓语动词应采用动词原形的形式。故将are还原为be。
第十处:考察单复数。句意:只有谦虚和努力学习,我们才有机会实现我们的目标。分析可知 “our goal”应该不止一个,故将goal改为复数形式goals。
