If we stand on a city street and looking up at the sky, the stars seems dim or far away. The lights of city blind us. Tall buildings shut out great parts of the sky.

But let us go out and climb a hill on a clear summer night. The city’s lights and buildings left far behind. The sky seems like a soft blue curtain over our heads. And the stars are like diamond twinkling in the sky.

As we stand looking upward, we are doing something which men have been doing from the beginning of history. Wisely men and shepherds looked in wonder at the same pinpoints of light thousands of years ago. What were they made of? How did they come to be up there in the sky?

People watched the heavens to find answers of these questions. The study of stars is the old of all sciences.

Answer 1

【答案】1. looking改為look

2. seems改為seem

3. or改為and

4. The lights of city blind us中of和city之間加上the

5. buildings left之間加上are

6. diamond改為 diamonds

7. which改為that或者刪掉which

8. Wisely改為Wise

9. of改為to

10. old 改為oldest

【解析】1.考查并列謂語。句意：如果我們站在城市的街道上，仰望天空 的話，星星似乎很昏暗遙遠。此句中and接并列的謂語，故looking改為look。

2.考查主謂一致。主語 the stars 后謂語形式為seem，故seems改為seem。

3.句意：星星似乎很昏暗遙遠。這里昏暗和遙遠是并列的，故 or改為and

4. 句意：是這個城市的燈光讓我們看不清楚了。上文提到過的a city，再次提到用定冠詞the，故of和city之間加上the。

5. 考查被動語態(tài)。句意：城市的燈和建筑物被遠遠的拋在后面。根據(jù)句意可知這里是被動語態(tài)，故在buildings和 left之間加上are。

6. 考查名詞的數(shù)。句意：星星就像鉆石在空中閃光。這里名詞復(fù)數(shù)stars比作 diamonds ，故diamond改為 diamonds。

7. 考查定語從句的關(guān)系詞。句意：當(dāng)我們站著往上空看時，我們正在做的是從歷史之初人們就一直做的事情。不定代詞something做先行詞，關(guān)系詞用that，that在定語從句中做賓語，可以省略，故which改為that，或者刪去which。

8. 句意：智慧的人們和牧羊人幾千年前驚奇地看著這些光。形容詞wise修飾名詞men and shepherds ，故Wisely改為Wise。

9. 考查介詞。句意：人們看著天空想要找到這些問題的答案。answer to questions 問題的答案，故of改為to。

10. 考查最高級。句意：星體的研究是所有科學(xué)中最古老的。根據(jù)句意可知用最高級，故old 改為oldest。
