Answer 1

答案：
解析：

(1) animal→animals 此行的“动物”表示泛指，须用复数形式. (2) the→a 此行前一个cat为第一次出现的名词，须用不定冠词表示泛指. (3) Before→When/Whenever 该行Dickens went out这一时间状语从句所表示的动作和主句所表示的动作同时发生，因此应把Before改为when或Whenever. (4) jumped→jump jump和前边的follow是并列的动词谓语，和前边的情态动词would一起构成复合谓语，因此jump应为动词原形. (5) waiting后加for wait是不及物动词，表示等候某人或某物时，要先接介词for，再接宾语. (6) 去掉near或at near 和at均为介词，后跟名词表示“在附近”或“在旁边”.表示不同意思的两个介词不能重复使用，应去掉其中的任何一个. (7) deeply→deep deep，deeply用作副词都可以表示“深深地”，在修饰具体动作时多用deep,在修饰形容词时只能用deeply，不能用deep，这时deeply表示的是抽象意义.deep into the night是“深夜”的意思. (8) √ (9) sit→sat 叙述全文用的都是过去时态.该复合句的时间状语从句When he was working at his novel用的是过去进行时，主句谓语动词所表示的动作和从句所表示的动作同时发生，所以主句应用一般过去时，应把sit改成sat. (10) put→putting by是介词，其后不能跟动词原形，应跟动名词.“by ＋ 动名词”表示通过某种方式或手段，应把put改成putting.
