Answer 1

分析 这是一个幽默故事．
在妈妈生日的这一天，孩子们早早起来，却让妈妈在床上休息，一会儿．厨房来有香味飘出，妈妈想孩子们在给她做早餐．她高兴的出来一看，发现两个孩子在吃早餐．孩子说"我们自己做的我们的早餐，这是我们给您的生日礼物"．

解答 A mother was having her birthday．Her children woke up earlier but asked their mother to rest in bed．Afterthewhile，she smelled something well from the kitchen．She was very pleasing for she thought her children were cookedbreakfast for her．And she thought ifshe should come out of the room and give her children some adivces．Then she did and saw the second children sitting beside the table．Each had a plate of bacon and an egg∧front of them．Then，one of them said，"Mum，this is our present for our birthday．We have made up our own breakfast．"
解析：
1．the 改为a．考查冠词．固定短语After a while表示"过来一会儿"．
2．well改为good．考查形容词和副词的区别．修饰不定代词something用形容词good，表示"好闻的东西"．
3．pleasing改为pleased．考查单词辨析．做表语，修饰主语She应该用pleased，表示"她非常高兴"．
4，cooked改为cooking．考查过去进行时的谓语动词的形式．本句表示"她认为孩子们正在给她做早餐"，所以谓语动词用过去进行时，因此cooked改为cooking．
5．if改为that．考查宾语从句的引导词．宾语从句she should come out of the room and give her children some adivces表示"她应该从房间里出去，给孩子们一些建议"，它的句义和结构是完整的，没有疑问，所以if改为that．
6．adivces改为adivce．考查名词．adivce是不可数名词，所以用adivce．
7．second改为both．考查代词．修饰复数children应该用both，表示"两个孩子"；而 the second修饰单数child表示"第二个孩子"，根据Each had a plate of bacon and an egg∧front of them．可知本句应该表示两个孩子，所以用both．
8．front of 前面加in．考查介词．固定短语in front of 表示"在…前面"．
9．our改为your．考查代词．根据上文可知这是妈妈的生日，所以用your修饰birthday．
10．去掉up．考查介词．本句表示"我们自己做的自己的早餐"，所以用make表示"制作"；而make up 表示"编造，组成"，因此去掉up．

点评 考查短文改错．
英文里有很多不可数名词，主要包括物质名称和抽象名词，常用的主要有：advice，baggage，change（零钱），furniture（家具），hair，homework，information，knowledge，luggage（行李），money，news，progress，traffic等等．
