Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．短文改错单凭审读本行往往难以作出判断，必须“通读短文，注意篇章……分句审读，逐行判断”(《高考试题评价与解析》，1996)。将it’s famous与下一行的mountain结合起来判断，就不难发现在单数可数名词(famous)mountain前，应加上不定冠词a。在单数可数名词前不用冠词是中国学生常犯的一个错误。 2.上一行与本行相结合：it’s a famous／ mountain with all kinds of plants and animals(The weather与下一行相连)，构成一个完整正确的句子，没有错误。 3.It was about noon与we arrived at the foot of／the mountain各是一个完整的简单句。英语中两个(或两个以上的)简单句要用一定的手段连接起来构成并列句或复合句。后一个句子为时间状语从句，在we前应加上 when。 4.短文用第一人称叙事，涉及的人物为作者及其父母。文中均用第一人称I或we叙述，此处用第三人称them(宾格)，而叙事者并未转移，显然不妥。此处应用us取代them。 5.本行与上一行及下一行结合审查，三行构成一个复合句。As we／climbed the mountain，作为一个从句，没有错误；we fed monkeys，visiting temples／and told stories为主句，句中有三个并列的谓语：fed，visiting和told。短文叙述过去的事，谓语应该用一般过去时。fed与told均为过去时。visiting是v-ing分词，词形不对，应改为visited。 6.英语可数名词分单数、复数，单数前一般要用冠词或其他限定词；复数则要用复数形式。此处根据上下文，应用复数名词pictures。 7.短文叙述过去(last week)发生的事情，除反映客观事实的一句用一般现在时外(As everyone knows it’s a famous／mountain...)，其余的谓语动词都用一般过去时。此处也不可例外。passes应改为passed。不少考生，错误判断是准确的，但误以为past是pass的过去时，因而失分。past可作名词、形容词或介词，它不是 pass的过去式或过去分词。 8.英语用come表示某一时刻、时段的到来。如：Christmas is coming soon／The time has come for us to make a decision(Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English)。come down表示to fall to a lower level。句中用冗词down显然是受汉语“夜幕降临”的影响而添的蛇足。 9.The food was expensive与the service was／good两个并列分句之间的关系是转折而不是递进，因而应用but取代and。 10.moment一般作名词用，可以和不同的介词搭配。题中the moment在从句my／head touched the pillow前，它实际上起着连词的作用，前面不能再加介词at。

提示：

1. famous前加a 2. 无错 3. we前加when 4. them改为us 5. visiting改为visited 6. picture改为pictures 7. passes改为passed 8.去掉down 9.and改为but 10.去掉the moment前的at
