四、短文改错。
Now I'd like to share with you a strange experience I had a month before.It may sound funny,and it's true.After a day's hard work I went to bed early than usual.It was about two o'clock in the morning,and suddenly I woke up.I heard a noise.I got out of bed and went slow downstairs.I listened carefully.I could heard two men speaking quietly.I believed two thieves had broken into my house and I was really frightened,so I went back to upstairs,and immediately phone the police from my bedroom.The police arrived quickly.They opened front door with a special key and went into the living room.You can imagine what embarrassed I was when they came upstairs and told me we had turned the television off for me and everything was all right.

the morning,and suddenly I woke up.I heard a noise.I got out of bed and went downstairs.I listened carefully.I could two men speaking quietly.I believed two thieves had broken into my house and I was really frightened,so I went back upstairs,and immediately the police from my bedroom.The police arrived quickly.They opened front door with a special key and went into the living room.You can imagine embarrassed I was when they came upstairs and told me had turned the television off for me and everything was all right.
第一处:before改为ago。考查副词。根据句中的had可知,此处应用副词ago。
第二处:and改为but。考查连词。根据语境可知,上下文表示逻辑上的转折关系,故用连词but。
第三处:early改为earlier。考查副词比较级。根据句中的than可知,此处用副词比较级作状语,修饰动词went。
第四处:slow改为slowly。考查副词。此处应用副词slowly修饰动词went,在句子中作状语。
第五处:heard改为hear。考查情态动词的用法。情态动词could后跟动词原形。
第六处:删除to。考查介词。upstairs在此处是副词,在句子中作状语,前面不需要介词来修饰。
第七处:phone改为phoned。考查动词时态。根据上文的went可知,此处应用一般过去时,表示过去发生的事情。
第八处:front前加the。考查冠词。door是可数名词,且此处由形容词front修饰,表示特指,故用定冠词。
第九处:what改为how。考查连接词。此处应用how引导宾语从句,在从句中作状语,修饰形容词embarrassed。
第十处:we改为they。考查代词。根据上文的they可知,此处表示的是警察,故用第三人称代词。
