【题目】短文改错

In early January this year, the rate of UFO reports were steady, around three per weeks. When, however, on Monday, January 16, a science fiction film about visitors to outer space was shown on television, there was the immediate increase in reports of sightings from all parts of the States. The commanding officer, Wayne Tyler, who directly responsible for the study of all suchreports, decided to making his findings known. They wrote an article, which said that all UFO reports could be explained for quite naturally by aircraft movements. Follow this explanation, there was a rapid drop in the number of reported sightings, because the rate remained above the previous level.

【答案】1.were---was

2.weeks---week

3.to---from

4.the---an

5.who后加was/is

6.making---make

7. They---He

8. for去掉

9. Follow---Following

10.because---but/yet/though/although

【解析】

本文是一篇新闻报道,在美国关于UFO报道的数量一直很稳定,116日一部关于外星来客的电影上映以后,这方面的报道数量激增。后来专家Wayne Tyler写了一篇文章用飞机活动解释所有的UFO报道,关于看到UFO的报道数量立刻就减少了。

第一处考查主谓一致。句意:今年一月份早些时候,关于UFO报道的频率很稳定,大约一周三次。本句主语是the rate of UFO reports是单数形式,谓语动词也应该用单数was。所以要把were改为was。

第二处考查名词单复数。句意:今年一月份早些时候,关于UFO报道的频率很稳定,大约一周三次。介词per意为每一”,后面要接单数名词,所以要把weeks改为week。

第三处考查介词。句意:然而在一月16日周一的时候,一部关于外星来客的科幻电影在电视里放映了。介词from意为来自…”,说明visitor是来自太空的。所以要把to改为from。

第四处考查冠词。句意:来自各州的报道看见UFO的数量立刻增加起来了。不定冠词a/an表示泛指,定冠词the表示特指,本句中an修饰immediate increase,泛指美国各州观看这部电影的人越来越多。所以要把the改为an。

第五处考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是Wayne Tyler,关系代词who指代先行词在句中做主语,要在形容词responsible前面加系动词was/is构成系表结构充当谓语。所以要在who后面加was/is。

第六处考查不定式。句意:负责人Wayne Tyler决定让的发现为人所知。动词短语decide to do sth决定做某事,不定式to do sth做动词decide的宾语。所以要把making改为make。

第七处考查动词。句意:他写了一篇文章,文章说所有的UFO的报道都可以很自然地用飞机活动来解释。本句主语he与前句中Wayne Tyler一致。所以要把They改为He。

第八处考查句子结构。句意他写了一篇文章,文章说所有的UFO的报道都可以很自然地用飞机活动来解释。句子quite naturally做状语修饰谓语部分,介词for是多余的。所以要删除for。

第九处考查介词。句意:在这个解释以后,看见UFO的报告的数量迅速下降了尽管比率仍然在平均水平之上。介词following之后follow是动词意为采纳,跟随”,与句意及句子结构不符。所以要把Follow改为Following。

第十处考查连词。句意:在这个解释以后,看见UFO的报告的数量迅速下降了尽管比率仍然在平均水平之上。根据句意可知上下文之间是转折关系,要用but/yet/though/although引导,使用要把because改为but/yet/though/although。

【题目】 Finland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the 2018 World Happiness Report of 156 nations.

The report, released Wednesday by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of well-being: income, freedom, trust, life expectancy, generosity and social support. This year's report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country’s immigrants.

The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place, and last year’s winner, Norway, came in second place — followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in sixth place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 nations changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report.

“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the locally born,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”

Other major world powers placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the UK was 19th — followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.

The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before World Happiness Day on March 20, when the UN declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”.

1The US ranked in 2017.

A.14B.10

C.18D.22

2What is the most significant finding of the report?

A.That immigrants are different from residents in the country.

B.That immigrants come from countries with different levels of happiness.

C.That immigrants become happy when they leave the country.

D.That immigrants and locals feel the similar level of happiness.

3What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Happiness is no less important than any other aspect in life.

B.People’s happiness and well-being should be considered when it comes to policy-making.

C.The happiness report came under a week before World Happiness Day.

D.What the UN declared was beneficial to all human beings.

4What is the best title of the passage?

A.World Happiness Day.B.Happiness — forever pursuit.

C.What's your happiness index(指数)?D.The 2018 World Happiness Report.
