【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了,上周五,一场大风暴摧毁了南非的两个村庄,人员伤亡,无家可归,但政府为无家可归者提供食物、衣服和庇护所。
1. 考查副词。在第①句中,last和时间名词使用构成副词,作时间状语,不加介词,去掉on。故去掉on。
2. 考查名词的数。在第①句中,指“上周五,一场大风暴摧毁了南非的两个村庄,造成4人死亡”,为复数,death用名词的复数形式。故将death改为deaths。
3. 考查时态。在第③句中,and前面的谓语动词began用一般过去时,时态保持一致,last也用一般过去时,表过去发生了的动作。故将last改为lasted。
4. 考查连词。在第④句中,when和while引导时间状语从句时,when既可与短暂性动词连用,也可与延续性动词连用;while与延续性动词连用,hear是个短暂性动词,应用when。故将while改为when。
5. 考查副词。在第⑤句中,此处指“几分钟之后,我们的房子倒塌了”,应用副词later。故将late改为later。
6. 考查名词。在第⑥句中,此处指“我设法爬了出来,但令我惊讶的是,我的一个儿子失踪了”,应用 to one’s surprise(令某人惊讶的是),用名词surprise。故将surprising改为surprise。
7. 考查主谓一致。在第⑥句中,主语one of my boys是单数,谓语动词也用单数。故将were改为was。
8. 考查代词。在第⑦句中,此处指“我很快回到屋里,发现他很安全,但很害怕。”用代词him指代农民的一个儿子。故将them改为him。
9. 考查过去分词。在第⑧句中,Soldiers came to rescue those burying under the ruins已有谓语动词came且无连词,另一个动词用非谓语形式,those和动词bury之间是逻辑上的被动关系,bury应用过去分词表被动,作those的后置定语。故将burying改为buried。
10. 考查冠词。在第⑧句中,此处指“士兵们来营救被埋在废墟下的人,政府为无家可归者提供食物、衣服和庇护所。”定冠词the +adj.可表一类人,无家可归者用the homeless。故在homeless前面加the。
