【题目】短文改错(满分10分)

I have a good friend a smart cat. He enjoys playing with me, that brings much happiness to me.

One evening, I noticed that my cat stopped playing. I looked up, and here, about three meters ahead of my cat, was a big mouse. It seems to be eating something, their little eyes turning to look around from time to time.

I held my breath and felt a bit exciting. I couldn’t help wondering whether my cat was able to catch so big mouse. Suddenly, he jumped at the mouse with his mouth widely open. The mouse tried to escape, and it was too late. The poor mouse was killed before it realized that what had happened. Then my cat held the mouse between his tooth and brought it over to me as if to say he had done a good job.

【答案】

【1】that改为which

【2】here改为there

【3】seems改为seemed

【4】their改为its

【5】exciting改为excited

【6】在big和mouse中间添加a

【7】widely改为wide

【8】and改为but

【9】去掉that

【10】tooth改为teeth

【解析】

试题分析:我家聪明的猫咪抓住了一只大老鼠。

【1】考查定语从句。that不能引导非限制性定语从句,故改为which在代指先行句内容在定语从句中充当主语。

【2】考查句式。英语中的存在句型为“There be”,该句句意:“我抬头看了一下。在我的猫咪前面大概三米远的地方有只大老鼠。”而here意为“这儿”,该句无此意,故将Here改为There.

【3】考查时态。故事发生于过去,作者用一般过去时为基本时态来进行叙述。故该处将seems改为seemed.

【4】考查行文逻辑。该处句意指“这只老鼠”的小眼睛时不时地四下张望。故将their改为its.

【5】考查形容词辨析。“excited”:感到激动的;“exciting”:令人激动的。该处指我屏住呼吸“感到很激动”,故将exciting改为excited.

【6】考查冠词。mouse为可数名词。“如此大的一只老鼠”:so big a mouse/such a big mouse,故在big和mouse中间添加a.

【7】考查副词用法。wide和widely均可作adv.但wide指“具体概念”,widely指“抽象概念”,而在该处指猫咪把嘴张得大大地,为具体概念。故将widely改为wide.

【8】考查连词。“它想跑,为时已晚。”根据句意可知,两句为转折关系,故将and改为but.

【9】考查宾语从句。该句中“what had happened”为宾语从句作realized宾语,已有连接代词what在宾语从句中充当主语,那么连词that就多于了,故该处将that去掉。

【10】考查名词单复数。该处老鼠的牙齿指的不是单数概念,故将tooth改为teeth.

【题目】Summer Rain

The worst days of any summer are the rainy ones. We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. All of winter, with its cloudy days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the beach, lying on the sand and enjoying the bright and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and it rains.

As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasn’t fair. We suffered through months of school and experienced bad weather for those short ten weeks of freedom and pleasant weather.

On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out at the rain like a bird in a cage. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, so I was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was at work. It was those days that I would watch whatever was on television or read any books that I could find lying around. I’d drag through the day and pray each night that the rain would not be there the next day.

As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as exciting. Everything seems dull. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer comes, I hate how hot it is. And then I look forward to the rain, because the rain brings with it a cold front, which makes me comfortable. Rainy days are still the worst days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful—and considerably cooler—weather tomorrow.

【题目】Why do people feel so rushed? Part of this is a perception (认知) problem. Generally, people in rich countries have more free time than they used to. This is particularly true in Europe, but even in America free time has been inching up. Women's paid work has risen a lot over this period,but their time in unpaid work,like cooking and cleaning, has fallen even more significantly, thanks in part to dishwashers, washing machines and microwaves, and also to the fact that men shift themselves a little more around the house than they used to.

The problem, then, is less how much time people have than how they see it. Ever since a clock was first used at a workplace to record labor hours in the 18th century, time has been understood in relation to money. Once hours are financially quantified (量化), people worry more about wasting, but tend to save or use them more profitably. When economies grow and incomes rise, everyone's time becomes more valuable. And the more valuable something becomes, the rarer it seems.

Once seeing their time in terms of money, people often grow stingy with the former to maximize the latter. Workers who are paid by the hour volunteer less of their time and tend to feel more upset when they are not working.

The relationship between time, money and anxiety is something Gary Becker noticed in America's post-war boom years. "If anything, time is used more carefully today than a century ago," he noted in 1965. He found that when people are paid more to work, they tend to work longer hours, because working becomes a more profitable use of time. So the rising value of work time puts pressure on all time. Leisure time starts to seem more stressful, as people are forced to use it wisely or not at all.

1Women's time in unpaid work has fallen partly because ______.

A. men's ability to support a family has been improved

B. men's involvement in housework has increased

C. women's leisure time was taken up by heavy housework

D. women become more skilled at household equipment

2From the second paragraph, we learn that ______.

A. labor hours were recorded with a clock

B. people haven't realized the value of time

C. more work hours bring in more money

D. The rise of incomes makes time less valuable

3The underlined phrase grow stingy with can probably be replaced by "______".

A. refuses to delay

B. intend to kill

C. try to accumulate

D. hesitate to spend

4According to Gary Becker, what causes people feel anxious about time?

A. The wrong way of time being spent.

B. People's willingness to work hard.

C. The increasing value of work time.

D. More and more leisure time.
