Sometime in February, my teacher told us about the city speech contest, its topic was “People who have overcome difficulties in their lives”. I thought of my grandma would be my perfect topic. Then I carefully prepared for contest. A couple of weeks later, after the first round I was choosing to be one of the seven finalists! The final was held soon. I was the sixth to presenting the speech. How a relief when I finished it! After the last person finished, the judge made their final decisions and announced that I have won first prize. The audience were going wildly clapping and cheering! I was extremely happy. It was such exciting a moment that I will always remember it.

【解析】

试题分析: 在本文中作者讲述了自己参加市演讲比赛的情况,演讲的话题是“People who have overcome difficulties in their lives”。作者认真地准备了这次演讲比赛,结果荣获了演讲比赛一等奖,他永远也不会忘记那一刻。

1.its前加and 或把its改为whose或者删掉topic后的was 。 its topic was “People who have overcome difficulties in their lives”.分析结构可知前后两个句子中间没连词,所以可以把its改为whose成为定语从句,也可以在its前加and构成并列句;也可以去掉topic成为独立主格,故答案是its 改为whose或 its前加and 或删topic后的was 。

2.thought 后删of 。I thought of my grandma would be my perfect topic. 介词of后只跟名词,代词动名词做宾语,不跟陈述句做宾语从句,故去掉of。

3.for 后加the 。 Then I carefully prepared for contest. 此处的contest是特指上文提到的演讲比赛,故前面加定冠词the。

4.choosing →chosen 。I was choosing to be one of the seven finalists! 句子主语I 和谓语动词之间是被动关系,应该用被动语态,所以把choosing改为chosen。

5.presenting→ present 。I was the sixth to presenting the speech. 修饰序数词the first、the second、the last等后面用动词不定式,所以把presenting改为present。

6.How→ What 。How a relief when I finished it ! 感叹句中对名词进行感叹需要用what,句型:what +(形容词)名词+主语+谓语,所以把How改为What。

7.judge →judges 。the judge made their final decisions. 根据句中的their decisions可以判断有多名裁判,故把judge改为judges。

8.have →had have →had and announced that I have won first prize. 主句谓语动词是一般过去时,宾语从句应该用过去时的相应形式,根据文章内容可以判断应该用过去完成时,故把have改为had。

9.wildly→ wild 。The audience were going wildly clapping and cheering ! 动词go在句中是系动词,后面应该跟形容词做表语,故把wildly改为wild。

10.such →so 。It was such exciting a moment that I will always remember it. 在such/so…..that句型中,such 修饰名词,so修饰形容词和副词,所以把such改为so。

考点:考查短文改错。

Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John. Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream. John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away. Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary’s potato.

We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him. But Mary and John are not humans. They’re African baboons(狒狒). ___1.___

John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others. ___2.___

Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated. ___3.___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting. When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.”

Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal. A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy. “He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe. When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe. ____4.___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.

It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies. ____5.___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence.

A. In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating.

B. An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania.

C. And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior.

D. So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery.

E. The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use of tools

F. This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly used by baboons.

G. Of course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why.

 

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.

One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
