Answer 1

分析 文章大意：本文敘述了五年前，在父親的幫助下，作者和姐姐在后花園里種植了一些圣女果，這些年以來，它的種子我們沒有管過，在院子里隨處瘋長，結(jié)果院子里到處都是圣女果，于是我們就把它們分給鄰居吃．感覺心里很高興．

1：before-ago   考查副詞．"從現(xiàn)在起的若干時間以前"；時間段+ago與一般過去時連用．before泛指"從過去起的若干時間以前"，意思是"距過去某時…以前""與其…（毋寧）"，常和完成時連用，這里謂語動詞planted用的是過去式，故用ago．
2：by-of   考查介詞搭配． 在…的幫助下用固定搭配with the help of．所以把by改成of．
3：year-years 考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)．根據(jù)句意和前面的all these 可知，用可數(shù)名詞year的復(fù)數(shù)形式y(tǒng)ears．a(chǎn)ll these years 的意思是這么多年．
4：had-has 考查時態(tài)，根據(jù)時間狀語Since then可知，本句用現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時．所以把 had 變成have．
5：As∧result-a，考查冠詞．a(chǎn)s a result 是固定搭配．所以在As和 result之間加a．
6：somewhere-everywhere  考查副詞．因為哪里落了種子就在哪里長，所以這種植物長得到處是．所以把somewhere（某地）改成everywhere（到處）．
7：taste-tasty  考查形容詞．這種果子個頭小，但是汁多、味道好．這里放在are后面，應(yīng)該用形容詞．所以把taste改成tasty．
8：much-many  考查代詞．根據(jù)后面的them可知，這里用many表示可數(shù)名詞的許多，而much修飾不可數(shù)名詞．所以把much 改成many．
9：but-yet 或去掉but  考查連詞．英語中although是連詞，but是并列連詞．所以不能同時用．所以把but改成yet或去掉but．
10：wonderfully-wonderful 考查形容詞．tomatoes 是名詞，應(yīng)該用形容詞來修飾．副詞常常修飾動詞．所以把wonderfully改為wonderful．

點評 改錯題要注意代詞，連詞以及詞性、人稱的轉(zhuǎn)化．
做好短文改錯題，可以從以下三方面去考慮：1．快速閱讀短文，如抓住中心思想，從整體上對短文有個了解． 2．充分運用語言的基礎(chǔ)知識，從句型結(jié)構(gòu)、詞的變化、詞類選擇、詞的搭配、習(xí)慣用法出發(fā)，進(jìn)行分析判斷，盡快找出錯誤在何處． 3．重視整體和語境，從上下文關(guān)系中找出表達(dá)連接關(guān)系或邏輯關(guān)系的詞或詞組，判斷是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系還是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，是因果關(guān)系還是讓步關(guān)系．
