　答案及解析

9. wonderful 前加 a。

8. 此行无错。

7. 删去 in。含有 this， that， last， next 等的时间状语前不加任何介词。

6. prepare 改为 preparing。与上文的 reading 形成平行结构， 以满足“spend some time on sth./in doing sth.这一句型的需要。

5. 删去 all。all 与 the whole 重复， 只能保留一处， 由于在此题型中， 只有多一个单词的可能， 故此处只能删去 all。

4. but 改为 so。根据上下文逻辑， 此处应为因果关系。

3. had 改为 have。综观全文时态可知。

2. much 后加 to。 I’d like to do something 为固定结构。

1. on 改为 for。动词 thank 与名词 thanks 通常与介词 for 搭配。
