Mary died in October, 2013, whom devoted her whole life to taking care of the homeless. In honor of her, her friend Luke made up his minds to do a good deed every day for a year. He did all that he can to help others. He took out of rubbish for his elderly neighbors. He baked bread and sent them to his friends. He even bought meals for completely strangers. He spent $3, 000 on good deeds, although he was only part-time worker. Some people didn’t understand him, thought he wanted something in return. When hearing this, he said, ＂Honest speaking, helping others can help ourselves but it makes us more grateful for what we have.＂

Answer 1

【答案】

【解析】

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了玛丽的朋友受她的影响而坚持每天做好事的故事。

第一处：whom → who 考查定语从句的关系词。非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，故把whom改为who。

第二处：minds → mind 考查名词。根据句中Luke可知此处用名词的单数形式，故把minds改为mind。

第三处：can → could 考查动词时态。根据语境可知文章讲述的是过去的事情，故把can改为could。

第四处：去掉of考查介词。take out＂拿出＂，而take out of ＂从某处拿出某物＂。

第五处：them → it 考查代词。指代不可数名词bread需要用it，故把them改为it。

第六处：completely → complete 考查形容词。修饰名词用形容词形式，故把completely改为complete。

第七处：only后加a考查冠词。worker是单数可数名词，且此处是泛指概念，故在only后加a。

第八处：thought → thinking 考查非谓语动词。此处是非谓语短语作状语，thought和句子主语之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。

第九处：Honest → Honestly考查副词。固定短语：honestly speaking＂诚实地说＂。

第十处：but → and 考查连词。根据句意可知前后句是顺承关系，故把but改为and。
