Question

【题目】短文改错。 Americans think a great deal of about time. From childhood they learn to value time. As children, they were taught to be on time to go to school, to do work and to do everything. When they are having good time, they say that time flies. When a person is dying, they say he is living on borrowing time.
Time is money, is knowledge, and is everything in America. A working American must work hard for 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week, that is the working time. On his spare time he also works for less money. Even Saturdays and Sundays are filled of activities. In the street you can hardly see a man who walk slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.

Answer 1

【答案】①of去掉

②were错误，改为are

③have ∧a good time

④borrowing错误，改为borrowed

⑤and错误，改为or

⑥that错误，改为which

⑦On错误，改为In

⑧less错误，改为more

⑨of错误，改为with

⑩walk错误，改为walks

【解析】本文讲述了美国人的时间观念。

① a great deal大量；a great deal of+不可数名词, 这里修饰动词think, 故要把of去掉。

② 文章通篇用一般现在时态讲述美国人的时间观, 故把were改为are。

③ 固定搭配：have a good time玩的开心。

④ 句意：当一个人快死亡时, 他们说他靠借来的时间生活。时间是被借来, 此处用过去分词作前置定语, 故填borrowed。

⑤ 句意：在美国时间就是金钱, 就是知识或者说就是一切。表示选择关系, 故把and改为or。

⑥ 前面整个句子作先行词, 后面用which引导非限制性定语从句, 故把that改为which。

⑦ 固定搭配：in one's spare time在某人的业余时间, 故把On改为In。

⑧ 此处表示在业余时间挣更多的钱。故把less改为more。

⑨ 固定词组：be filled with被……填满, 故把of改为with。

⑩ a man作先行词, 在后面的定语从句中作主语, 从句用一般现在时态, 故把walk改为walks。
