【题目】假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。作文中共有10 处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

About five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes(圣女果) in our back garden. Since then—for all these year—we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】before→ago

【2】by→of

【3】year→years

【4】had→have

【5】result前面加a

【6】somewhere→everywhere

【7】taste→tasty

【8】much→many

【9】删掉but/but→yet

【10】wonderfully→wonderful

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】before→ago 时间短语在前面，故应该用ago，before用在时间短语前面而不是后面。

【2】by→of 此处with the help of...“在……的帮助下”，为固定短语。

【3】year→years 句中year是可数名词，前面的these应修饰复数形式的名词。

【4】had→have 时间状语since then表示“从那时以来”，通常和现在完成时连用，而不是过去完成时。

【5】result前面加a as a result意为“结果”，为固定短语。

【6】somewhere→everywhere 这里“到处都有”,所以用everywhere。

【7】taste→tasty 本句中small，juicy和tasty是并列的表语，都要用形容词。

【8】much→many 根据前面的be动词are和后面的them可知，应是代替可数名词复数的many。

【9】删掉but/but→yet 引导让步状语从句的although不能和连词but连用，但是可以和副词yet连用。所以可以删掉but，也可以把but改为yet。

【10】wonderfully→wonderful 修饰名词应用形容词。

【知识归纳】

with the help of...在……的帮助下；as a result 结果
