Question

Nearly five years before, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted

Some cherry tomatoes(圣女果)in our back garden. Since then for all these year we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!

【解析】

試題分析：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. ago “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.……的幫助下用固定搭配with the help of。所以把by改成of。

3.year的復(fù)數(shù)形式y(tǒng)ears。all these years 的意思是這么多年。

4.Since then可知，本句用現(xiàn)在完成進行時。所以把 had 變成have。

5.As和 result之間加a。

6.somewhere（某地）改成everywhere（到處）。

7.taste改成tasty。

8.much修飾不可數(shù)名詞。所以把much 改成many。

9.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.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。

考點：短文改錯。
