Maria was afraid that she was going to have to deliver a bad news to her friend Freddy. She was upsetting about the news herself. In the spring, Maria’s mother had said Maria might be allowed bring a friend along on the family two-week vacation at the beach. Since then, Maria and Freddy had been doing nothing and planning all the thing they would do together. By the time August had arrived, Maria’s mother had total forgotten her promise. When Maria reminded her, she said that she was sorry but that it wouldn’t be enough room for Freddy because Maria’s cousin, Theresa, would be going to the shore with them. Now Freddy was in his way to Maria’s house.

Answer 1

【小题1】a--the
【小题2】upsetting--upset
【小题3】allowed ∧to
【小题4】family--family’s
【小题5】and--but
【小题6】thing--things
【小题7】去掉had
【小题8】total--totally
【小题9】it-- there
【小题10】in--on

解析试题分析：文章用一般过去时叙述了一个故事。Maria和Freddy是好朋友，Maria家有一次旅行，说好和Freddy一起去的，但是这个机会却被Maria的表弟Theresa抢走了。
【小题1】Maria害怕把这个坏消息告诉Freddy。这里是特指，故把a改成-the。
【小题2】upset苦恼的，是形容词，故把upsetting改成upset。
【小题3】allow sb to do sth允许某人做某事，故在allowed后加to。
【小题4】the family’s two-week vacation一家人的两周旅行，故把family改成family’s。
【小题5】nothing but除了，他们除了计划要做的事情之外什么也不做。故把and改成but。
【小题6】al修饰可数名词复数，故把thing改成things。
【小题7】By the time到......时候，根据主句用的过去完成时可知，从句用过去时，故去掉By the time中的had。
【小题8】修饰动词forgotten应该用副词，故把total改成totally。
【小题9】there be有......，没有足够的空间给Freddy，故把it改成 there。
【小题10】现在，Freddy正在去Maria的房子的路上，on one’s way to....在去......的路上。故把in改成on。
