Question

【題目】短文改錯。 Americans think a great deal of about time. From childhood they learn to value time. As children, they were taught to be on time to go to school, to do work and to do everything. When they are having good time, they say that time flies. When a person is dying, they say he is living on borrowing time.
Time is money, is knowledge, and is everything in America. A working American must work hard for 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week, that is the working time. On his spare time he also works for less money. Even Saturdays and Sundays are filled of activities. In the street you can hardly see a man who walk slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.

Answer 1

【答案】①of去掉

②were錯誤，改為are

③have ∧a good time

④borrowing錯誤，改為borrowed

⑤and錯誤，改為or

⑥that錯誤，改為which

⑦On錯誤，改為In

⑧l(xiāng)ess錯誤，改為more

⑨of錯誤，改為with

⑩walk錯誤，改為walks

【解析】本文講述了美國人的時間觀念。

① a great deal大量；a great deal of+不可數(shù)名詞, 這里修飾動詞think, 故要把of去掉。

② 文章通篇用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)講述美國人的時間觀, 故把were改為are。

③ 固定搭配：have a good time玩的開心。

④ 句意：當(dāng)一個人快死亡時, 他們說他靠借來的時間生活。時間是被借來, 此處用過去分詞作前置定語, 故填borrowed。

⑤ 句意：在美國時間就是金錢, 就是知識或者說就是一切。表示選擇關(guān)系, 故把a(bǔ)nd改為or。

⑥ 前面整個句子作先行詞, 后面用which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句, 故把that改為which。

⑦ 固定搭配：in one's spare time在某人的業(yè)余時間, 故把On改為In。

⑧ 此處表示在業(yè)余時間掙更多的錢。故把less改為more。

⑨ 固定詞組：be filled with被……填滿, 故把of改為with。

⑩ a man作先行詞, 在后面的定語從句中作主語, 從句用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài), 故把walk改為walks。
