Question

2013浙江高考英语短文改错，求助！

Dear Diary,
Here I am in the middle of a city, 350 miles far away from our farmhouse. Do you want to know why we move last week? Dad lost his job and as Mom explained, “He was lucky to find other one.” His new job meant I had to say goodbye to my classmate, my school, or just everything else I love in the world. To make matters bad, now I have to share a room with my younger sister, Maggie. Tomorrow is first day of school. I am awfully tiring, but I know I will never fall asleep.
Good night and remember you, dear diary, is my only souvenir from my past life and my only friend.
最后一处is为什么要改成are？后面不是my only friend吗？单数不是应该用is吗？

Answer 1

正文的
第一行: 1.far去掉(因为far已经被 350 miles代替了)

第二行: 2.move→moved(由last week可知,谓动应用过去式)
第二行:3.other→another(这儿是指"另一个,又一个",应该用another;而other指的是"别的,其他的")

第三行:4.classmate→classmates(同学不止一个,故用复数)
第三行:5.or→and(这儿表示的是并列关系,而不是选择关系,故用and)

第四行:6.bad→worse(to make matters worse是固定短语,"更糟糕的是")
第四行:7.在first前加上my/the(指"我"上学的第一天,或开学的第一天,故必须在first前加上my或the)

第五行:8.tiring→tired(指人"感到累的"用tired;而tiring指物"累人的,令人劳累的")
第五行:9.sleep→asleep(形容词作表语,fall asleep入睡,睡着)

是后一行:10.is→are (因为 you, dear diary, is my only souvenir .... friend是作remember 的宾语从句,其主语是you;而dear diary是you的同位语;my only souvenir是表语. 语法规则中,只要求"主谓一致" , 不要求"同谓一致"或"表谓一致".因此,此句的be动词应跟主语you相一致,用are.)

Answer 2

souvenir是礼物的意思。最后一句，意思是“是我从过去的生活和我仅有的朋友那里获得的唯一的礼物。”and连接的my past life和my only friend是句子中的同一种成分，所以要把is改成are。

Answer 3

1. move改成moved

2. as mom explained中的as去掉，并且mom首字母不大写

3. other one改成another one

4. or just everything else I love改成and everything else I love

5. To make matters bad完全去掉，此话意思是”为了让事情更糟糕“，你为了让事情更糟糕和你妹妹住一屋？逻辑上不通，是逻辑上的病句，谁希望让事情更糟糕？疯了

6. my first day

7. I am awfully tired才对，tiring是令人劳累的意思，tired才是感到累的

8. 最后一句这样写：Good night, dear diary - my only souvenir from my past life. You're  my only friend.
