Yesterday is my mother's birthday. My father and I planned to give him a surprise. In the morning, like usual, my father and mother went to work but I went to school at eight o'clock. My mother seemed to have forgotten her birthday. At four o'clock in the afternoon my father bought a bunch of flowers as well a lot of delicious food my mother likes to eat. I bought my mother a large and beautiful birthday cake. When my mother got to home, she was greatly surprised by that she saw. All that we had done made her very happily. After supper, I asked my mother to sit up and watch TV. My father began to clean the floor and I set out to doing the washing-up.
【答案】
【1】第一句:is 改was
【2】第二句:him改her
【3】第三句:like改as;
【4】but改and
【5】第五句:well a 中间加as
【6】第七句:去掉to;
【7】that改what
【8】第八句:happily改happy
【9】第九句:up改down
【10】第十句:doing改do
【解析】
试题分析:本文属于记叙文,讲述了妈妈生日那一天我们和父亲为她庆祝的事情。
【1】第一句:is改was 考查时态。本句的主语是yesterday“昨天”,这是一个表示过去时间的词,所以本句要使用一般过去时。
【2】第二句:him改her 考查代词。根据第一句可知昨天是我妈妈的生日,和我父亲计划给她一个惊喜。使用代词her指代my mother。
【3】第三句:like改as; 考查固定搭配。介词短语as usual和平时一样。
【4】but改and 考查连词。句意:早晨和平时一样,爸爸妈妈去上班,八点钟我去上学。上下文之间存在顺接关系,而没有转折关系,所以使用连词and。
【5】第五句:well和a 中间加as 考查固定结构。介词短语as well as和。句意:下午四点的时候,爸爸买了一束花和很多秘密喜欢吃的食物。
【6】第七句:去掉to; 考查介词。本句中home是副词,单独使用修饰名词,所以句中的介词to是多余的。
【7】that改what 考查宾语从句。本句中what引导宾语从句what she saw并在句中作为动词see的宾语,that引导名词性从句时,在句中不做成分。
【8】第八句:happily改happy 考查形容词。本句中使用形容词happy在句中充当宾语补足语,对her进行补充说明。句意:我们做的所有这些事情让她非常开心。
【9】第九句:up改down 考查固定搭配。短语sit down坐下;句意:晚饭以后,我请妈妈坐下来看电视。
【10】第十句:doing改do 考查动词短语。短语set out to do sth开始做某事;句意:爸爸开始清理地板我开始洗刷。

Child sponsorship moves beyond the basics
One of the most popular forms of charitable giving in use today is child sponsorship as witnessed by the fact that just one of the leading child sponsorship charities currently has over 1 million individual child sponsors worldwide. Despite this huge level of support, it is not generally understood exactly what child sponsorship actually involves.
Most people tend to assume that one’s chosen charity arranges for sponsors to be matched up with an underprivileged child in one of the poorer underdeveloped countries. The idea is that you essentially take a child under your wing and act almost like a fairy godmother or father until he or she attains adulthood and can stand on his or her own two feet.
To a large extent, this is a pretty accurate impression. New sponsors are matched with individual children and can typically choose which country, which sex and which age group they would prefer. They then exchange photos and letters on a regular basis. This obviously helps the sponsors to see at first-hand how their donations are benefiting the children.
The sponsorship itself costs approximately 15 per month and many donators choose to sponsor more than one child at once. One common wrong impression about these regular donations is that they go direct to the child’s parents or guardian in order to pay for essentials such as food or education. In reality, some of the longest established child sponsorship charities have found that this is largely ineffective and can cause anger among other children in the community who might not be so fortunate.
Instead, some of the largest charities prefer to pool total donations and carry out larger schemes to assist the whole community. Nor are all the funds diverted (分配使用) towards obvious short term relief like providing food, water and basic healthcare. There is a strong emphasis on self-help and personal development so that future generations will be self-sustaining and not so reliant on outside assistance.
To this end, sponsors will often find their donations finding their way into things like training courses to teach teenagers how to farm, small grants (补助金) for business start-ups and introducing the concept of village-based savings and loan organizations.
There is no doubt that the top sponsorship charities have been active for so long in many countries that they are now taking a leading role in aiding the overall welfare of children and ensuring that they are not exposed to discrimination and abuse.
