【解析】
试题分析:本文讲的是一个学生和祖孙两人在等公共汽车时遇到大雨学生和祖孙两一起撑伞等车的故事。
考查谓语动词的单复数。根据主语An old man together with his grandson,把握关键词together with ,就前一致,所以谓语动词又an old man 而定,所以were改成was。
考查冠词。根据后面单词umbrella,元音音素开头,所以a 改成an .
考查代词。根据前面a school boy,所以是他的手里,所以their改成his。
考查副词。雨下得大:it rain hard ,而hardly几乎不,意思不对,所以把hardly改成hard。
考查介词短语,根据because + 句子,而because of + 名词/what 从句,本句后面是名词,所以because后加of .
考查非谓语。根据动词see和boy之间是主动关系,所以seen改成seening。
考查非谓语。那个男孩匆忙跑过来,喊着,应该做伴随状语,所以shouted改成shouting。
考查连词。根据句意:别跑,否则你会摔倒,and是顺承关系,而or是否则,所以and改成or。
考查连词,根据固定句型:It was +时间段 + before 。。。,It is + 时间段 + since,所以since改成before。
考查时态,本文整篇讲的是过去的事情,所以应该用一般过去时,所以get改成got。
考点:考查短文改错。
I began working in journalism(新闻工作) when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to“make something”of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was suppertime,I walked back home.
“How many did you sell,my boy?”my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God,Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in,“Well,I’ve decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币).It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence(自信),and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day,I told my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,”she replied,“you’ll become a good-for-nothing.”She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
