Great changes have been taken place in my village. Ten years ago, the small and low houses, which lie on the north of a lake, produced much waste. As the result, the lake was serious polluted. To the west was a sandy field, that was the source of dust. Better still, a brick yard on the southwest side of the lake used up a great deal good soil. Now the poor house have been replaced by green trees and the brick yard by tall buildings. The sandy field that the villagers used to ploughing has been covered with fruit trees. On the lake the villagers often spend his spare time boating and fishing.
【答案】
【1】去掉been。
【2】lie→ lay。
【3】第一个the改为a。
【4】serious→ seriously。
【5】that→ which。
【6】Better→ Worse。
【7】deal后加of。
【8】house→ houses。
【9】ploughing→ plough。
【10】his→ their。
【解析】
【1】去掉been 动词短语take place没有被动语态,意思是“发生”。
【2】lie→ lay ten years ago是常见的一般过去时的时间状语,应使用动词lie(v.位于)的过去式lay。
【3】第一个the改为a as a result是习惯用语,意思是“因此”。
【4】serious→ seriously 副词修饰动词,故serious应改为seriously(ad.严重地)。
【5】that→ which 关系代词that不能引导非限制性定语从句。这里用which引导非限制性定语从句补充说明先行词a sandy field,且which在从句中作主语。
【6】Better→ Worse better still(更好的是),不符合上下文语境,应改为worse still(更糟的是)。注意大写首字母。
【7】deal后加of a great deal(许多,大量),后接名词时应先加介词of。
【8】house→ houses 这里的house指上文提到的“the small and low houses”,故应改为复数形式。
【9】ploughing→ plough 关系代词that在定语从句中作use的宾语,use sth to do sth意思是“用某物做某事”,to是不定式符号,故ploughing应改为plough。
【10】his→ their 人称代词的逻辑错误,主语the villagers是复数,其形容词性物主代词应为their。
