10.The scientist we had been looking forward to arriving at last.

分析 我们一直翘首以盼的科学家最后来了.(意译)

解答 答案:arriving改为arrived
解析:分析句子结构可知we had been looking forward to是一个定语从句,其先行词为the scientist,定语从句省略了作宾语的关系代词who/whom.又根据句末的at last可知本句该使用一般过去时,故本题需将arriving一词改为动词的过去式arrived一词.

点评 本题考查句子改错,做此类题目时一定要仔细分析句子结构,综合句意、语法等各方面判断错误点在哪以及该如何修改.

20.Nothing could stop Dad.After he was put on disability for a bad back,he bought a small farm in the country,just enough to grow food for the family.He planted vegetables,fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料).The smell really burned the inside of your nose.When we complained(抱怨) about the terrible smell,Dad said the stronger the manure,the healthier the crops,and he was right.For example,just one of his cantaloupes(甜瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell,and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in,Dad threw himself into cooking.One day,armed with a basket of vegetables,he announced(宣称) he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages,eggplants,potatoes,corns,onions and carrots.For about half an hour,the pressure built and the vegetables cooked.Finally,Dad turned off the stove,the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam.If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad,this was 10 times worse.When Dad took off the lid,the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house.Just how bad was it?The neighbours came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined,Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around.It didn't look that bad,and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell,it didn't offend the nose so much,either.I took a taste.It would never win a prize in a cooking competition,but it was surprisingly edible,and we drank up every last drop of soup.

Everyone has a childhood full of dreams.Looking back on my childhood,I am (41)J  that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon (42)D  their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them,I had no (43)B  for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War I,we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the (44)E  memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all,the insects.
I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love for the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into various investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people's observations and discoveries.Then something happens-that brings these observations together in my (45)F  mind.Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the (46)G,because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300papers and books,which some might honor with the (47)H  of scientific research.
But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist:one of the outstanding and essential qualities (48)A  is self-discipline,a quality I lack.A scientist,up to point,can be made.A naturalist is (49)I.If you can combine the two,you get the best of both worlds.
