Mrs Smith heard her new neighbor would come and moved into his new house, but she hadn’t seen him. One day when she came back, she saw a man wear a brown hat and dark glasses carrying a ladder on his shoulder. The man put the ladder against the window of the new house and went up to break in the window. Mrs Smith said to himself, “Thief, it is a thief.” She rang up the police immediate and soon two policemen appeared in the front of the house. When the man was told to hand in everything what he had stolen, he looked greatly surprising. It was then he understood the reason why the policemen came. He said in a smile on his face, “I can’t find my key. It’s my new house.”

Answer 1

【答案】1. moved→move

2. wear→wearing

3. in→into

4. himself→herself

5. immediate→immediately

6. 去掉 front 前面的 the

7. what→that 或去掉 everything or what

8. surprising→surprised

9. then 后加 that

10. in→with

【解析】1. come和moved是并列动词，都与前面的would构成谓语动词，而would是情态动词，后面的动词要用原形，故把moved改为move。

2. 本句应该表示“看到某人正穿着……”，用see sb. doing sth.。故把wear改为wearing。

3. 此处表示打破窗户，用break into，break into有“闯入”的意思，故把in改为into。

4. 句子主语是Mrs Smith，是女性，所以反身代词应该用herself。故把himself改为herself。

5. immediate在句中修饰动词rang up，应该用副词修饰谓语动词。故把immediate改为immediately。

6. in the front of 表示在事物范围内的前面，而in front of表示在事物范围外的前面。根据上文内容可知，警察出现在房子（外面的）前面，故把the去掉。

7. 先行词是everything，关系词应该用that引导定语从句，在从句中作had stolen的宾语；因为是作宾语，所以也省去that不用关系代词；再或者去掉everything，直接用what引导宾语从句。故把what改为that或去掉everything or what。

8. surprising意为“令人吃惊的”，修饰事物；surprised意为“感到吃惊的”，修饰人。本句修饰主语he，应该用surprised。故把surprising改为surprised。

9. 该句是强调句型：It is/was+被强调部分+that+其他。本句中的被强调部分是then，that不能省去。故在then后面加that。

10. with a smile意为“含笑”，是固定搭配。故把in改为with。
