【答案與解析】
( I ) 1. Look→Looking。此處應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語(yǔ)。2. my前面加on / upon。look back on / upon是固定短語(yǔ),意為"回顧"。3. allow→allowed。此處應(yīng)該用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。4. 第二個(gè)a→an。unreasonable fear是以元音音素開(kāi)頭,故用不定冠詞an。 5. 去掉that。此句是簡(jiǎn)單句,that是多余用詞。6. danger→dangerous。形容詞修飾復(fù)合不定代詞。7. glass→glasses。復(fù)數(shù)名詞glasses意為"眼鏡"。 8. or→so。此處表達(dá)因果關(guān)系。9. 本行無(wú)錯(cuò)。10. After→Since。介詞短語(yǔ)since then常與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)連用。
( II ) 1. Decorate→Decorating。此處應(yīng)該用動(dòng)名詞作主語(yǔ)。2. and→or。either... or... 是固定短語(yǔ),意為"或者......或者......"。3. 去掉at。home在此句中是副詞, at屬多余用詞。 4. light→lights。light意為"燈",是可數(shù)名詞,與balls是并列關(guān)系。5. rapped前面加is。此處是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。6. Sometime→Sometimes。此處應(yīng)該用Sometimes表達(dá)"有時(shí)候"。7. trees→tree。此處是名詞作定語(yǔ),應(yīng)該用單數(shù)形式。8. Beside→Besides。根據(jù)語(yǔ)義,此處表達(dá)"除了......之外"。9. 本行無(wú)錯(cuò)。10. much→many。本句中的ways是可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式,故用"as many...as"。
