Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．去掉第一個(gè)was。be used to＋n．／doing。意為“習(xí)慣（做）某事”，used to do sth．表示“過(guò)去常常做某事”。此句中used后為to do，因此這個(gè)詞組應(yīng)為used to do。 　　2．horrible改為terrible。horrible含“令人生厭”之意，而terrible則表示“糟透了”。此句只是對(duì)Aunt Aggic唱歌的評(píng)價(jià)，應(yīng)為后者。 　　3．去掉for。意為“向……要（某物）”，此處意為請(qǐng)某人做某事，用ask sb. to do sth.。 　　4．As改為When。引導(dǎo)一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)時(shí)，as通常表示“當(dāng)一個(gè)動(dòng)作發(fā)生時(shí)，另一個(gè)動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生”，而此處主句表示的是鋼琴的狀態(tài)，用as不恰當(dāng)。 　　5．playing改為play。動(dòng)詞hear后可接do或doing做賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，但兩者有差別。hear sb. do sth.表示“聽(tīng)見(jiàn)了賓語(yǔ)做某事的全過(guò)程”，而hear sb. doing sth.則表示“聽(tīng)見(jiàn)某人在做某事”。此處為“聽(tīng)她彈彈琴”了以后判斷鋼琴是否諧調(diào)，應(yīng)為“聽(tīng)見(jiàn)某人做某事的全過(guò)程”，因此要用play。 　　6．turned改為tune。動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)have sth. done的特點(diǎn)為have后面的賓語(yǔ)與其補(bǔ)語(yǔ)done之間有著被動(dòng)的關(guān)系，即“某事被做”。從這一句看，him與tune之間的關(guān)系應(yīng)該是主動(dòng)的，因此要用have sb. do sth.表示“請(qǐng)某人做某事”。 　　7．√。 　　8．know改為don’t know。Aunt Aggie的歌聲與鋼琴不和諧，她卻認(rèn)為是調(diào)音師技術(shù)不好。 　　9．are改為were。調(diào)音師為她調(diào)音已是過(guò)去的行為。 　　10．will begin改為begin。在以as soon as, when, while, after, until等引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀態(tài)從句中，通常用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)代替將來(lái)時(shí)態(tài)。
