Tom and Alice were both patient in a Mental Hospital. One day they were walking by the swimming pool of the hospital while Tom suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom. Alice promptly jumped in to save him with any hesitation. She swam to the bottom and pull him out. When the medical director became aware Alice’s heroic act, he immediate reviewed her file and called her into his office. “Alice, I have a good news and bad news for you. The good news is that you’re being discharged because since you were able to save the life of other patient, I think you’ve gained your senses. The bad news is that Tom, that you saved, hanged himself with his bathrobe（浴衣）belt in the bathroom, and he was dead.”

Alice replied, “He didn’t hang him. I hung him up to dry.”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】patient改为patients

【2】while改为when

【3】with改为without

【4】pull改为pulled

【5】aware后面加of

【6】immediate改为immediately

【7】删去good前面的a

【8】other改为another

【9】that改为whom/who

【10】him改为himself

【解析】

【1】patient改为patients；考查主谓一致，这一句的主语是Tom and Alice，是两个人，并且patient是可数名词。故将patient改为patients。

【2】while改为when；考查固定搭配：be doing …when当…的时候，就。因为前面半句是were walking。故将while改为when。

【3】with改为without；句意：Alice promptly jumped in to save him with any hesitation.爱丽丝没有任何犹豫地迅速的跳进游泳池去救汤姆。without any hesitation毫不犹豫。故将with改为without。

【4】pull改为pulled；考查时态。结合前后文，整篇文章是以一般过去时的时态在讲述整个故事。故将pull改为pulled。

【5】aware后面加of；考查固定搭配：be aware of知道，了解。故将aware后面加of。

【6】immediate改为immediately；考查副词修饰动词。immediate是形容词，意为立刻的，马上的。故将immediate改为immediately。

【7】删去good前面的a；考查冠词。因为news是单复数同行的名词。因此不需要冠词。故删去good前面的a。

【8】other改为another；other表示其他的时候，是没有特定范围的，但是这里表达的是其他的病人，实在病人这个特定的人群，所以不能用other。故将other改为another。

【9】you saved 前的that改为whom/who；考查定语从句。这一句的先行词是Tom，是人，在从句中缺宾语，因此关系代词可以填who或者whom。故将you saved前的that改为whom/who。

【10】hang后面的him改为himself；考查反身代词。根据前文的hanged himself可知这里也应该用himself。故将hang 后面的him改为himself。
