Mr. Turner turned over in bed from time to time in last night, for he was so excited that he could not fall sleep. Yesterday morning, he went to a big gardening company, knowing as Green Fingers, for the interview. Mr. Turner, who liked to help his grandfather grew flowers in the garden, looking forward to the job offered by the company. When he got the company, he found there were many people waiting and he had no ideas whether he could get the job. While waiting, he helped the workers there to remove the fallen trees and clear the road. Luckily, he was the only one who finally got the job, so the manager decided to give the job to whomever he believed was helpful.

Answer 1

【答案】1.第一句：去掉第二个in

2.第一句：sleep→asleep

3.第二句：knowing→known

4.第二句：the→an

5.第三句：grew→grow

6.第三句：looking→looked

7.第四句：got后加to

8.第四句：ideas→idea

9.第六句：so→because

10.第六句：whomever→whoever

【解析】本文讲述了特纳先生应聘工作的经历。

1. last night意为“昨晚”，单独即可用作时间状语，前面一般不加介词。故去掉in。

2. 固定词组：fall asleep睡着，故把sleep改为asleep。

3. 此处know和a big gardening company是被动关系，故用过去分词作宾语补足语。故knowing改为known。

4. 此处泛指任何一次面试，故用不定冠词。故把the改为an。

5. 固定结构：help sb. (to) do sth.帮助某人做某事，故把grew改为grow。

6. 此处为谓语动词，对应主语是Mr. Turner。本句描述的是过去的动作，用一般过去时态，故把looking改为looked。

7. 句意：当他到达公司的时候，……。get to+名词地点，故在got后加to。

8. 此处idea表示抽象含义，没有单复数变化。故把ideas改为idea。

9. 联系上下文可知下文表示原因，故把so改为because。

10. whomever只能用作宾语，whoever是主格，可用作主语。本句中连词还用作“was helpful”的主语。故把whomever改为whoever。
