【题目】短文改错

Dear Mary,

I receive your E-mail just now. Don’t worry about me. I’m getting on well with my research work in the lab. But to my greatly surprise you say you will give up learn English. The reason is because you have not done well in it recently and you have lost interests. I’m afraid I couldn’t agree with you. I know it is difficulty to learn English, and English is widely used in the world today. It will be important tool in our future work. Beside, it is becoming more and more important in our daily life. If you study hard, you will be succeed. Do remember that where there is a will, there is a way. I’ m looking forward to hearing good news from you.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】receive→received

【2】greatly→great

【3】learn→learning

【4】because→that

【5】couldn’t→can’t

【6】difficulty→difficult

【7】and→but

【8】be后加an

【9】Beside→Besides

【10】将succeed前面的be 去掉或将succeed→successful

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍英语的重要性。

【1】receive→received 本句中有just now这个表示过去时间的状语，故使用一般过去时。

【2】greatly→great 后面是名词surprise，故使用形容词great修饰名词。

【3】learn→learning 动词短语give up中的up是介词，后面要接动名词的形式。

【4】because→that 没有The reason is because…的句式；只有The reason is that…。

【5】couldn’t→can’t 本文的基本时态是一般现在时，故使用can’t。

【6】difficulty→difficult 本句中使用形容词difficult在句中作表语。

【7】and→but 前后表示转折关系，故把and改为but。

【8】be后加an 后面有可数名词单数形式tool，important以元音开头，故使用an来修饰。

【9】Beside→Besides 副词besides表示“而且”；beside表示“在…旁边”。

【10】将succeed前面的be 去掉或将succeed→successful 本句中要么使用“系动词+形容词”构成系表结构。要么就使用动词原形，去掉系动词be。

【知识拓展】

1.不定冠词a 和an的用法。a用在以元音开头的词前，表示“一”； an用在以辅音开头的词前，表示“一”。比如小题1，university 这个词以辅音开头，所以前面加a，表示一所大学。an important meeting 一个重要的会议；an interesting story 一个有趣的故事；an old man 一位老人；an hour 一小时；an honest boy 一个诚实的男孩；an American lawyer一个美国的律师； a useful tool 一个有用的工具；a European friend一位欧洲的朋友。

2. reason （1）the reason for sth. /doing sth.为某事或做某事的理由。the reason for his being late他迟到的理由

（2）reason理由（名词），在句中做主语，后面的表语从句用that引导。The reason was that he had little education.理由是他受教育少。

（3）reason理由（名词），作先行词，在定语从句中作原因状语时用why引导定语从句，比如：The reason why he was late for class was that his mother was ill.他上课迟到的理由是她的妈妈病了。reason理由（名词），作先行词，在定语从句中作主语或宾语时用that/which,比如：The reason that/which she gave me was that she had got up late.他给我的理由是他起床晚了。

温馨提示：reasonable合情合理的（形容词），连系动词后面作表语。

What he said sounded reasonable.他说的话是合情合理的。

3. succeed（动词） in doing sth. /be successful（形容词）） in doing sth./ have success（名词） in doing sth.成功做某事；a success一个成功的人，一件成功的事； successfully（副词）。
