Now I’d like to share with you a strange experience I had a month before.It may sound funny,and it’s true.After a day’s hard work I went to bed early than usual.It was about two o’clock in the morning,and suddenly I woke up.I heard a noise.I got out of bed and went slow downstairs.I listened carefully.I could heard two men speaking quietly.I believed two thieves had broken into my house and I was really frightened,so I went back to upstairs,and immediately phone the police from my bedroom.The police arrived quickly.They opened front door with a special key and went into the living room.You can imagine what embarrassed I was when they came upstairs and told me we had turned the television off for me and everything was all right.

Answer 1

【答案】1. before→ago 2. and→but 3. early→earlier 4. slow→slowly 5. heard→hear 6. back 后面的to 去掉 7. phone→phoned 8. front前面加the 9. what→how 10. we→they

【解析】本文讲述了作者一个月前听到自己楼下有两个男人说话，以为是贼，于是报了警，没想到警察来了之后发现是电视机在说话，作者感到非常尴尬的趣事。

1. before→ago， 考查介词。before是站在过去看过去，多和过去完成时连用，ago是站在现在看过去，多和一般过去时连用。

2. and→but，考查并列连词。前后两句为转折关系，句意为“虽然这件事听起来很搞笑，但它是真实的。”故把and改为but。

3. early→earlier，考查比较级。由后面“than”可知应该用比较级，故把early改为earlier。

4. slow→slowly，考查副词。修饰动词用副词，故把slow改为slowly。

5. heard→hear，考查情态动词的用法。情态动词后加动词原形，故 heard 改为 hear。

6. back 后面的to 去掉，考查副词。upstairs 是地点副词，前面不用介词to。

7. phone→phoned，考查时态。全文时态为一般过去时，且 and 前后时态一致，phoned 与went 并列。

8. front前面加the，考查冠词。本题特指前门，故在front前面加定冠词the。

9. what→how，考查宾语从句连接词。从句成分完整且为感叹句，故用程度副词how 修饰形容词 embarrassed。

10. we→they，考查人称代词。此处指的是the police，指的是他们，故人称代词应为they。
