I began to look for work after I finished the school last year. Now several month later, I still didn’t find the job I was interested. Last Sunday morning I received a call from a man calling him Mr. Smith. He said to me in the phone, “I hear you do very well in your studies, but I may have a job for you.” When I entered his office I felt very nervous with a beaten heart. How I hoped I would get through the job hunting talk and she would accept me as a lab assistant. But to my surprised, what he said was disappointed. He only needed a model.

Answer 1

【答案】1. school前的the去掉 2. month→months 3. interested后面加in 4. him→himself 5. in→on 6. but→so 7. beaten→beating 8. surprised→surprise 9. hope→hoped 10. disappointed→disappointing

【解析】本文講述了作者一次找工作的經(jīng)歷。

1. finish school 意思是“畢業(yè)了”，所以要去掉school前面的the。

2. several 修飾可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)，所以month要用復數(shù)形式。

3. be interested in是固定搭配，所以要將漏掉的in加上。

4. 根據(jù)意思應該是“自稱史密斯先生的人”，所以要將him改成himself。

5. “在電話中說”應該用on the phone，是英語的習慣表達，所以要將in改成on。

6. 句意：我聽說你學習很出色，所以我想給你一份工作。上下文是因果關系，所以要將but改成so。

7. 應該用beating修飾heart，表示正在蹦蹦跳的緊張心情。beaten表示的是被動意思，不符合語境。

8. 結合全文可知，短文中要用一般過去時態(tài)，所以要將hope變成過去式hoped。

9. to my surprise是固定搭配，所以要將surprised改成surprise。

10. 句意：他所說的是多么令人失望。disappointed表示“（人）感到失望的”，所以要改成disappointing，表示“（事情）令人失望的”。
