Last week I paid a visit to my former neighbor, Mr. Smith. He and I are used to live next to each other. About half a year ago, an order came which the old building, along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for the main street. So they had to move apart. Mr. Smith now lived in the suburb near a beautiful park. His apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it takes quit a long time get to the downtown. Therefore, Mr. Smith doesn’t seem to worry about a long distance. A new subway line will be built in a few year and he is sure that life will be better in the future.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】删除are

【2】which改为that

【3】were改为was

【4】they改为we

【5】lived改为lives

【6】big改为bigger

【7】time后加to

【8】Therefore改为However

【9】a改为the

【10】year改为years

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于记叙文，介绍了我去看望以前的老邻居史密斯先生；并回忆了过去的住所以及现在对方的所住之地的信息。

【1】删除are 考查固定搭配。短语used to do sth过去常常做某事；be used to do sth被用来做某事；他和我过去常常住在一起。

【2】which改为that 考查同位语从句。本句中that引导同位语从句，that在句中不充当任何成分。which引导名词性从句时，要在句中作主语、宾语等成分。

【3】were改为was 考查主谓一致。当句子主语为“A along with B”时，谓语动词和A保持一致。本句中主语是the old building，所以谓语动词使用单数was。

【4】they改为we 考查代词。本句在we指代Mr. Smith和我两个人，所以使用we，而不是they。

【5】lived改为lives 考查时态。本句的时间状语是now，所以使用一般现在时的时态，主语是单数名词Mr. smith，所以谓语动词使用lives。

【6】big改为bigger 考查比较级。本句中介词than和比较级连用，句意：他现在的公寓要比以前的更大。

【7】time后加to 考查固定句式。句式：It takes sb some time to do sth做某事花掉某人...时间。本句的it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语。

【8】Therefore改为However 考查上下文串联。句意：唯一的问题是到市中心要花很多时间，但是史密斯先生不担心距离太远。上下文之间为转折关系，所以使用副词however表示转折。

【9】a改为the 考查冠词。本句中使用定冠词the表示特指，the long distance就是指前句中史密斯先生的公寓到市中心的距离。

【10】year改为years 考查名词单复数。本句中可数名词year前面有a few修饰，所以使用复数名词years。
