1. A.
   them
2. B.
   themselves
3. C.
   him
4. D.
   himself

Answer 1

B
分析：空格词不是宾语(动词corrected的宾语是the mistakes，介词on的宾语是the test papers)，根据句意“这对双胞胎自己改正了试卷上的错误”，应该用反身代词，thetwins是两个人，所以用yourselves．(延伸)反身代词(myself，yourself，himself，herself，itself，ourselves，yourselves，themselves)拼法注意点：第一人称是形容词性物主代词+词尾(myself，ourselves)；第二、第三人称是宾格+词尾(yourself，himself，herseff，itself，yourselves，themselves)；单数的词尾是self，复数的词尾是selves．反身代词的第一种用法是“强调用法”，在句子中用来强调主语或宾语，可以放在所强调词的后面，也可以放在句子的末尾，表示“自己，“亲自”的意思。本句＝The twins themselves corrected the mistakes．是强调主语。注意反身代词不能作主语，但受汉语影响，会产生错误。如：“他们自己订正了错误”不能说Themselves corrected the mistakes．
