Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．去掉第一个was。be used to＋n．／doing。意为“习惯（做）某事”，used to do sth．表示“过去常常做某事”。此句中used后为to do，因此这个词组应为used to do。 　　2．horrible改为terrible。horrible含“令人生厌”之意，而terrible则表示“糟透了”。此句只是对Aunt Aggic唱歌的评价，应为后者。 　　3．去掉for。意为“向……要（某物）”，此处意为请某人做某事，用ask sb. to do sth.。 　　4．As改为When。引导一个时间状语时，as通常表示“当一个动作发生时，另一个动作同时发生”，而此处主句表示的是钢琴的状态，用as不恰当。 　　5．playing改为play。动词hear后可接do或doing做宾语补足语，但两者有差别。hear sb. do sth.表示“听见了宾语做某事的全过程”，而hear sb. doing sth.则表示“听见某人在做某事”。此处为“听她弹弹琴”了以后判断钢琴是否谐调，应为“听见某人做某事的全过程”，因此要用play。 　　6．turned改为tune。动词短语have sth. done的特点为have后面的宾语与其补语done之间有着被动的关系，即“某事被做”。从这一句看，him与tune之间的关系应该是主动的，因此要用have sb. do sth.表示“请某人做某事”。 　　7．√。 　　8．know改为don’t know。Aunt Aggie的歌声与钢琴不和谐，她却认为是调音师技术不好。 　　9．are改为were。调音师为她调音已是过去的行为。 　　10．will begin改为begin。在以as soon as, when, while, after, until等引导的时间状态从句中，通常用一般现在时态代替将来时态。
