A survey basing on 1,000 students found that half of the pupils and 80% of the middle school students sleeps less than nine hours every night. Too many homework given by school teachers and parents is the main reasons. Other reason lies in students’ bad habits. Some students, for example, are absent-minded while doing his homework, and some waste their after-class time. The third reason is because some students have to get up early on weekdays to get school far away from home. Experts are calling at schools and parents to cut down on the amount of homework. And students should make a good use of their time. And it would be better if they could choose to study in a nearby school.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】basing→based

【2】sleeps→sleep

【3】many→much

【4】reasons→reason

【5】Other→Another

【6】his→their

【7】because→that

【8】get与school中间加to

【9】at→on

【10】good前面的a去掉

【解析】

试题分析：本文是讲现在一半的小学生和80%的中学生每晚睡眠少于9小时，专家对此提出了一些建议增加学生的睡眠时间。

【1】basing→based 过去分词作定语。故把basing改为based。

【2】sleeps→sleep 本句的主语是pupils和students，故谓语动词应该用复数。故把sleeps改为sleep。

【3】many→much homework是不可数名词，应该用much修饰。故把many改为much。

【4】reasons→reason 句意：老师和家长布置的过多的作业是主要原因。这里讲了一个原因，故reason应该用单数。

【5】Other→Another 此处指“另一个”，而不是指“其它的”，故把Other改为Another。

【6】his→their 此处的代词指代前面的名词students，故用their。

【7】because→that reason作主语，后面的表语从句用that引导，解释说明reason的内容，故把because改为that。

【8】get与school中间加to get to意为“到达”，后面跟名词。故在get与school中间加to。

【9】at→on call on是固定词组，意为“号召；请求”。句意：专家们正在号召学校和家长减少作业量。故把at改为on。

【10】good前面的a去掉 make good use of是固定词组，意为“充分利用”。故去掉a。
