Cars are everywhere. In big city and small towns, the preferred method of transportation is the automobile. People can get to where they need to go quickly and easy, and it has given a new kind of freedom to many people who may not have experienced it ago. But was driving really the best thing for our society? I argue that it is not. First, pollution was a serious problem, and more cars only make them worse. There is just not way to reduce pollution without decrease the number of cars on the road. Second, cars are very dangerous. Traffic accidents are responsible tens of thousands of deaths every year. Finally, cars are so expensive for most people to afford. However, that doesn’t stop low-income families from spending the most of their money to pay for the family car.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】city→cities

【2】easy→easily

【3】ago→before

【4】was→is

【5】them→it

【6】not→no

【7】decrease→decreasing

【8】responsible后加 for

【9】so→too

【10】most前的the去掉

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍汽车的污染问题。

【1】city→cities 表示“在大城市里”，不只一个城市，所以名词用复数形式，故把city改为cities。

【2】easy→easily 副词修饰动词，故把easy改为easily。

【3】ago→before 此处是完成时态，故把ago改为before。

【4】was→is 纵观全文，叙述当前的事情，用一般现在时态，故把was改为is。

【5】them→it pollution是不可数名词，故把them改为it。

【6】not→no 句意：公路上的车辆不减少，就没有办法降低污染。no修饰名词，故把not改为no。

【7】decrease→decreasing without是介词，后面用名词或动名词形式作宾语，故把decrease改为 decreasing。

【8】responsible后加 for 固定词组：be responsible for为……负责任，故在responsible后加for。

【9】so→too 固定搭配：too...to...太……而不能，故把so 改为 too。

【10】most前的the去掉 此处most指“大多数”，而不是“最多”，故most前的the去掉。

【知识拓展】

1.so + 形容词/副词 + that + 从句,如：This story is so interesting that I want to read it again.（这个故事如此有趣以至我想再读一次.）

2.so+形容词/副词+(a/an)+(单数)复数可数名词／+that+从句,如果句中的名词是单数可数名词,其前就要用

a或an,如果是复数可数名词或者,前面就不用,如： Those are so beautiful flowers that wants to pick them.（那些花是如此漂亮以至那个女孩想要摘下它们.）

3.such+a/an+形容词+单数可数名词+that+从句,如：It is such an interesting story that I want to read it again.（这是一个如此有趣的故事以至我想再读一次.）

温馨提示：so+表示数量的词many/much/few/little(少)+名词，此时不能用such.
