1.exciting改为excited;考查分词作形容词,这里过去分词做形容词修饰人,指形容人的心理感受.
2.free前面加be;考查系动词,这里形容词free前面加上系动词be构成系表结构.
3.去掉plenty前的a;考查冠词,plenty of time意为"充足的时间".
4.you 改为we;考查人称代词,根据句意应该是Jim和作者一起回家,所以用we.
5.for改为to;考查介词,to one's home是固定用法,这里的to是介词.
6.worry改为worried;考查时态,结合上下文语境,这里的worry应该是Jim在信中提到的,所以用过去时.
7.but改为so;考查连词,根据句意这里应该是因果关系,所以用so表示"因此".
8.interests改为interest;考查名词,place of interest是固定搭配,意为"风景,名胜"所以要用单数interest.
9.greatly改为great;考查形容词,这里用形容词great修饰后面的名词fun.
10.meet改为meeting;考查固定短语look forward to 的用法,在look forward to中,to是介词,后面跟名词或名词性短语.

点评 短文改错是先通读全文,整体理解文章的大意,再分析句式结构,弄清句群关系,然后运用所掌握的词汇,语法句型等基本
知识对短文加以分析,找出错误加以修改.

4.While small may be beautiful,tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems,particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.
    The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB),which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall,has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants.Beds that are too small,showe heads that are too low,and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height,it says.
    But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met.The average night of the population has been increasing ye the standard size of beds,doorways,and chairs has remained unchanged.]
"The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it,so even a king-size bed at 6′6″(6feet and 6inches) is falling short for 25% of men,while the standard 6′3″bed caters for less than half of the male population."Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy,"seven-foot beds would work fine."
     Sililarly,restaurant tables can cause no end of problems.Small tables,which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them,are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.
    Some have already taken note,however.At Queens Moat Houses′Caledoman Hotl in Edinburgh,6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors,particularly Americans.

64.What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?C
A.To provide better services.
B.To rebuild hotels and restaurants.
C.To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.
D.To attract more people to become its members.
65.Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?B
A.7′2″.B.7′C.6′6″D.6′3″
66.What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A
A.They may lose some customers.
B.They may start businesses elsewhere.
C.They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.
D.They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.
67.What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?B
A.Tall people pay more for larger beds.
B.6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″beds.
C.Special rooms are kept for Americans.
D.Guest rooms are standardized.
11.There were smiling children all the way.Charily they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway,wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang.Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives.This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.
 I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car,so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly  relishthe long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train.There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
  It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia.Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore,so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past.As we went beyond the city,I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green.Then the first village came into sight,Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.
  From then on my journey became interesting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
  The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00pm.Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.I looked at the people all around me.They all looked beautiful.When my uncle arrived with a smile,I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱).I had never done this before.He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile.We walked arm in arm to his car.
  I looked forward to the return journey.

8."Colour"and"color","favourite"and"favorite""-Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a"u"?Is it because they are lazy?
Of course not.In fact,the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster(1758-1843).He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger.Linguists celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16,2008.After the Revolutionary War(1775-1783),Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary,rather than rely on British versions.He dropped the British"u"in some words.And he changed"centre"into"center"for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.
Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opinions.In defining(定义) preposterous  (unreasonable),he wrote:"A Republican government in the hands of females is preposterous."
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings.He also added local words.His dictionary was widely used in schools.Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.
"He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,"said Joshua Kendall,who is working on a biography about Webster."He at last got us united through our language.

66.According to the passage,when he worked on his dictionary,Noah Webster did all of the  following EXCEPTA.
A.dropping"u"in all the British words
B.changing"centre"into"center"
C.adding local words
D.voicing his opinion
67.When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?C
A.In 1758. B.In 1783.  C.In 1800. D.In 1828.
68.Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?B
A.Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.
B.Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristics.
C.Because he wanted to achieve political freedom.
D.Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.
69.Which of the following words can best describe Noah Webster's work?D
A.Interesting B.Boring    C.Unfinished  D.Meaningful
70. Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?C
A.Webster's dictionary
B.American identity
C.The shaper of American English
