Answer 1

【答案】the错误；改为a；whom错误；改为who；and错误；改为but；tall错误；改为taller；can’t错误；改为couldn't；去掉heard后面的of；paying错误；改为pay；shocked前面加was；to错误；改为for；me错误；改为myself。
【解析】 通过本文的阅读和改错，考查学生的固定搭配和动词时态和语态、非谓语动词的用法、定语从句、连词、形容词比较等级、冠词的用法等。
①the错误；改为a 句意：当时我是一个带着六岁女儿的单亲。此处用a表一个身份。
②whom 错误；改为who 句意：我是一个单亲的抚养着一个当时只有6岁的女儿。whom was six years old at the time.一应该是定语从句，修饰先行词my daughter，先行词在本从句中做主语应该用关系代词who，whom做宾语。
③and错误；改为but 句意：虽然我没有多少钱，当时我还是想买一个圣诞树。前后表转折关系，所以用but。
④tall错误；改为taller 根据下一句I told my daughter we can't afford a taller tree.可知，这里的意思是：女儿想要一个比我计划更高的树，所以用比较级taller。
⑤can't错误；改为couldn't told后面是宾语从句，时态应该也用过去式和主语一致，所以用couldn't。
⑥去掉heard后面的of hear听到，后面可以跟宾语从句，hear of 的意思是：听说。这里的意思是：一定是有人听到我们母女的谈话了。
⑦paying错误；改为pay go to后面用动词原形表目的。
⑧shocked前面加was 本句句意：我很吃惊 。shocked是形容词前面要加系动词was构成系表结构。
⑨to错误；改为for be thankful for 的意思是：因为…而感谢。这里感谢是因为一个陌生人为我们的付出。
⑩me错误；改为myself 句意：我对自己承诺：我要把这份付出传下去。用反身代词做宾语。
