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!

Answer 1

小题1:before—ago 小题2:by—of 小题3:year—years 小题4:had—has 小题5:As∧ result—a 小题6:somewhere—everywhere 小题7:taste—tasty 小题8:much—many 小题9:but—yet或去掉but 小题10:wonderfully—wonderful

试题分析：本文叙述了五年前，在父亲的帮助下，作者和姐姐在后花园里种植了一些圣女果，这些年以来，它的种子我们没有管过，在院子里随处疯长，结果院子里到处都是圣女果，于是我们就把它们分给邻居吃。感觉心里很高兴。 小题1:before—ago. ago “从现在起的若干时间以前”；时间段+ago与一般过去时连用。before泛指“从过去起的若干时间以前”，意思是 “距过去某时……以前”“与其……（毋宁）”，常和完成时连用，这里谓语动词planted用的是过去式，故用ago。 小题2:在……的帮助下用固定搭配with the help of。所以把by改成of。 小题3:根据句意和前面的all these 可知，用可数名词year的复数形式years。all these years 的意思是这么多年。 小题4:根据时间状语Since then可知，本句用现在完成进行时。所以把 had 变成have。 小题5:as a result 是固定搭配。所以在As和 result之间加a。 小题6:因为哪里落了种子就在哪里长，所以这种植物长得到处是。所以把somewhere（某地）改成everywhere（到处）。 小题7:这种果子个头小，但是汁多、味道好。这里放在are后面，应该用形容词。所以把taste改成tasty。 小题8:根据后面的them可知，这里用many表示可数名词的许多，而much修饰不可数名词。所以把much 改成many。 小题9:英语中although是连词，but是并列连词。所以不能同时用。所以把but改成yet或去掉but。 小题10:tomatoes 是名词，应该用形容词来修饰。副词常常修饰动词。所以把wonderfully改为wonderful。
