Question

My young cousin Jim seems to have endless question to ask every day. One day, he asked me what life on earth began after watching a film. To be honest, the question remains a puzzle to me. Besides, in order not to let him down, I found the answer in a book, said, “Long ago the earth was a cloud dust. The dust settled into a solid globe before billions of years. The earth became so violently that it was not clear that the shape would last or not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. Then water began to appear. As the time went on, different life forms began.”

【解析】

1. 考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。句意：我的小堂弟吉姆每天有無窮的問題要問，故用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

2. 考查賓語從句 句意：一天，看完電影后 他問我地球上的生命是怎么來的。

3. 考查動詞的時態(tài)。句意：老實說，這個問題對我來說是個迷題。全文用一般過去時來敘述，故用一般過去時。

4.Besides---However/Therefore 考查副詞。句意：然而為了不讓他失望，我去書上找個答案。表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故用However

5.said—saying 或said 前加which 考查非謂語動詞 。句意：然而為了不讓他失望，我去書上找個答案，說，原來地球是個大云團。Saying表伴隨。

6.cloud后加of

7.before--after 考查連詞。句意：若干年后這些塵土形成了一個固體球。

8.violently--violent 考查形容詞。句意：地球開始劇烈的活動也不清楚這種形狀是否會持續(xù)。

9.that--whether 考查主語從句。 因為有or not故與whether想呼應(yīng)，表示是否，引導(dǎo)主語從句。

10.去掉the 考查冠詞。句意：隨著時間的流逝，不同的生命開始出現(xiàn)。時間是抽象名詞不加冠詞。

考點：短文改錯。
