Answer 1

1. of –from   2.quiety—quiet   3.soˇwell   4.to—at  5.√  6.that-why 7.talked—talk

8.stranger-strangers   9.since—but  10.(删去)about 或在about前加something

解析:

1. 此题考查词汇用法。将of改为表示来源意义的from。          

2. 此题考查并列情况。将quietly改为形容词形式quiet，使其与shy并列，共同作介词as的宾语。                 

3. 此题考查固定搭配。在well 前加上as，使其与well后的as形成完整搭配。   

4. 此题考查固定搭配。laugh at…意为“嘲笑”laugh to…意为“对……大笑”，根据句意，故应将to改为at。               

5. 此题无错。                                            

6. 此题考查句法结构。将that改为表示原因引导宾语从句的why。

7. 此题考查时态知识。将talked改为talk，使其与上下文的时间和动词形式一致。    

8. 此题考查名词单复数。将stranger改为strangers，使其与句子主语we一致。有的考生认为此处没有错，认为stranger可以作形容词，这是不对的。         

9. 此题考查语句连贯。根据上下文，前后句之间为转折关系，故应将since改为but。 

10. 此题考查词汇用法。tell的结构为tell sb. sth. (告诉某人某事)和tell sb. sth about sth.(告诉某人有关某事的某些内容)，故可以去掉about，或者在about前加上something。
