Question

短文改错（满分10分）
An old man whose eyesight was failing comes to stay in a hotel, a bottle of whisky in his hand. On the wall was a fly he took for a nail. The moment he tried to hang the bottle on it, they fell and broke. When the landlady discovered what had been happened, she decided to do him favor. The next morning when he was out, the hotel worker hammered a nail exact where the “fly” had been. Before the old man came back, the smell of the whisky reminded him the accident. Looking at the spot what he thought the “fly” was again, he was so angry that he slapped it with all his strengths. On hearing the loud cry, the landlady rushed in. To her surprise, the poor old man was sitting on the floor with his teeth clenched and the palm of his hand bleed.

Answer 1

小题1:come---came     
小题2:they--- it     
小题3:been去掉  
小题4:加a  
小题5:exact--- exactly  
小题6:Before--- When  
小题7:加of;
小题8:what--- where   
小题9:strengths---- strength   
小题10:bleed--- bleeding

试题分析：
小题1:come---came   本文的基本时态是一般过去时，这里的came是一个过去时。
小题2:they--- it      it就是指前面的the bottle，故使用it指代上文的单数名词。
小题3:been去掉      动词happen没有被动语态的形式，故去掉been。
小题4:加a            固定搭配do sb a favor帮某人一个人。
小题5:exact--- exactly  用副词exactly做状语，来修饰整个句子。
小题6:Before--- When  本句是指当老人回来的时候，酒的味道让他想起了这个事故。
小题7:加of; 固定搭配remind sb of sth让某人想起某事；
小题8:what--- where   本句是一个定语从句，先行词是the spot，后面的定语从句句中很完整就使用where引导。
小题9:strengths---- strength 名词strength力气是一个不可数名词，没有复数形式。
小题10:bleed--- bleeding 名词the palm手掌与动词bleed构成主动关系，故使用现在分词在句中作宾语补足语。
