Answer 1

【答案】held错误，改为holds；去掉in；to错误，改为to be；instead错误，改为instead of；coming错误，改为came；sadly错误，改为sad；Therefore错误，改为However；her错误，改为herself；去掉of；hard错误，改为harder
【解析】
⑴句中的时间状语each year是一般现在时的标志，表示经常发生的动作，故谓语动词用一般现在时holds。
⑵this，that，next，last和时间名词使用构成时间状语。前面不加介词的。故去掉in。

⑶be going to+动词原形，本句意思是：她要成为今天的冠军，故to后加be，构成动词不定式。
⑷instead是副词，必须加of才能跟宾语，故将instead 改为instead of。
⑸句中的she是主语，此处coming是现在分词，不能充当谓语，故将coming改为谓语动词came。
⑹feel是系动词，后跟形容词，故将sadly改为sad。
⑺上下文是转折关系，故用However。
⑻主语是she，宾语是同一个人时，用反身代词，故将her改为herself。
⑼be of+名词=be+形容词。因为important是形容词，故去掉of。
⑽根据句意可知“要更加努力提高英语口语能力”，故将hard改为比较级harder。
