Question

【题目】I was in the band at Davis Air Force Base,North Dakota. Our group required to play for all the general who reached the base. So, one morning, when our commanding officer heard on the radio what General Frost was expected just after noon, he sent us hurried to the airport with our instrument. It turned out that one of the musicians had also heard on the radio announcement that morning. He takes the commanding officer aside for a whispered talk. When they turned, the officer told them the performance was canceled. There was no arrived general — we had almost played for the weather forecast.

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】1.句意：我们乐队被要求为到基地的所有将军演奏。根据句意可知用一般过去时态的被动语态，故在required前加was。

2.句意：所有的将军。all修饰名词复数，故把general---generals.

3.句意：当我们的指挥官在无线电广播中听到Frost将军中午之后到时，他派我们带着乐器匆匆忙忙地去飞机场。根据句意可知此处是that引导的宾语从句，只起引导作用，故把what---that。

4.句意：他派我们带着乐器匆匆忙忙地去飞机场。副词修饰动词，故把hurried---hurriedly。

5.句意：他派我们带着乐器匆匆忙忙地去飞机场。乐器不可能就一种，可知用名词的复数形式，故把instrument--- instruments。

6.句意：结果有一位音乐家也听到了收音机里的通告。此处并不是“在收音机里”听到，故把on去掉。

7.根据上文的one morning,可知句子用一般过去时态，故把takes---took。

8.句意：他带指挥官到一边小声交谈。当他们回来的时候，指挥官告诉我们表演被取消。根据句意可知把turned---returned。

9.句意：当他们回来的时候，指挥官告诉我们表演被取消。根据句意可知把them---us.

10.句意：没有要到达的将军。现在分词arriving即将到达的，做定语，故把arrived---arriving。
