[解析]
I grew up in a small town about a hour outside of Chicago.There were only a handful of local shops and cafes,and everyone know their neighbors as there were only twenty thousands people in the whole town!My parents used to let my brother and me walking to and from the kindergarten every day,and we were allowed to do whichever we liked before dark.The only thing we had to worry about was getting bite by insects or getting sunburned from staying outdoor for too long!After high school,I went to college in the city,Taking the subway was much faster than riding my bike.People from all over the world spoke languages I∧ never heard before.There were huge department stores,where sold everything.The entertainment at all hours was my most favorite thing about the city.
详解:
1.考查冠词。句意:我在离芝加哥一个小时路程的郊外的小镇长大。hour"小时"为可数名词,此处为泛指且hour是发音以元音音素开头的单词,故应用不定冠词an修饰,故a改为an。
2.考查动词时态。句意:当地只有几家商店和咖啡馆,每个人都认识他们的邻居,因为全镇只有两万人!结合上下文可知,文章是在讲述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,故know改为knew。
3.考查数词。句意:当地只有几家商店和咖啡馆,每个人都认识他们的邻居,因为全镇只有两万人!当thousand前有具体数字修饰的时候,thousand不需要加s,故thousands改为thousand。
4.walking改为walk.考查动词不定式。句意:我父母以前每天早上都让我和弟弟步行上下幼儿园,天黑前我们可以做任何我们想做的事。let sb do sth表示"让某人做某事",故此处应用省略to的不定式作宾补,故walking改为walk。
5.whichever改为whatever.考查宾语从句连接词。句意:我父母以前每天早上都让我和弟弟步行上下幼儿园,天黑前我们可以做任何我们想做的事。分析句子结构可知,此处引导宾语从句,在宾语从句中作宾语,且意为"做想做的任何事情",故whichever改为whatever。
6.bite改为bitten.考查过去分词。句意:我们唯一要担心的就是被虫子咬了,或者在户外呆太久被晒伤了!分析可知,主语we与动词bite之间是被动关系,故此处应用过去分词表被动,故bite改为bitten。
7.outdoor改为outdoors.考查副词。句意:我们唯一要担心的就是被虫子咬了,或者在户外呆太久被晒伤了!分析句子结构可知,此处应用副词outdoors"在户外"作状语,outdoor"户外的",为形容词,不符合语境,故outdoor改为outdoors。
8.never前加had.考查动词时态。句意:来自世界各地的人说我以前从未听说过的语言。结合句意可知,hear发生在spoke之前,即过去的过去,故句子应用过去完成时,故never前加had。
9.where改为which.考查定语从句关系词。句意:有很多大的百货公司,它们卖所有的东西。分析句子结构可知,此处引导定语从句,先行词为stores,指物,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词which引导该从句,故where改为which。
10.去掉most.考查最高级。句意:全天的娱乐活动是这个城市我最喜欢的事情。favorite本身就表示"最喜欢的",故不需要再用most,故去掉most。
