Answer

is well-known that birds are our friends. But large number of birds have been killed for food. The other day I was walking in the woods a shot was heard. Hearing the shot, the in the trees flew all directions. A bird was injured badly and looked . Finding the bird injured, I decided to take it home. At home I good care of it. When it recovered, I returned to the woods. I hope something should be done to prevent birds from killed.

【解析】1.that从句是真正的主语，所以此处用it作形式主语。故把As改为It。

2.a large number of许多，大量；the number of……的数量。根据句意“许多鸟已经被杀死了”，所以把the改为a。

3.be doing sth.…when“正在做某事……这时”，是固定结构。所以把while改为when。

4.句意：好多鸟朝四面八方飞去。所以把bird改为birds。

5.in all directions朝四面八方，是固定结构。所以把to改为in。

6.句意：看起来很伤心。look此处是系动词用法，所以其后应是形容词。故把sadly改为sad。

7.finding是非谓语动词，所以不能加连词，故去掉so。

8.作者在叙述发生在过去的事情，应用过去时态，所以把take改为took。

9.此处是我把这只鸟放回到森林中。主语和宾语指代的不是同一个人或物，所以此处不能用反身代词。故把itself改为it。

10.birds和kill之间是被动关系，所以应用动名词的被动形式。故在killed前面加being。

【名师点睛】

一般情况下when当---时候，引导时间状语从句，而在下面的三个句式中when是并列连词，“这时候”的意思，是固定句式，做题时一定要特别注意。本题第3小题就是when的这个用法。

1.was/were about to do…when…正要做…这时(发生另一事) We were about to set out when it began to rain.我们刚要出发天突然下雨了。
2.was/were doing…when…正在做某事…这时(发生另一事) He had hardly sat down when his mobile rang.他刚一坐下手机就响了。
3.had done…when…刚刚做完某事…这时(发生另一事) I was walking along the bank of the river when I fell into it.我正沿河岸散步突然掉进水里。
