短文改错

I will never forget that at the age of 12 I was asked to deliver a speech entitled An Unforgettable Experience before the whole class! How terrible shy I was the moment I thought of that. I had no choice but prepare for it, though. First, I drafted the speech, which was easy. But the hardest part lies in my oral presentation. The real moment began as I stood on the platform with my legs trembled and my mind blank. But my listener were waiting patiently. Gradually I found myself back, giving out my speech fluently. After which seemed to be ages, I found my audience applauding. I made it! From then on, my fear disappeared. Actually with your confidence building up, I now turn out to be the great speaker. Looking at back, I know the greatest difficulty on the way to success is fear. Overcome it, or you will be able to achieve your goals.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲作者在12岁的时候的一次演讲的经历，然后告诉大家只要克服恐惧就能找到成功的路。

第一处：考查副词。句意：当我想到这一点时，我是多么害羞。本句中的terrible用来修饰形容词shy，应用它的副词形式，故将terrible改为terribly。

第二处：考查固定句型。句意：不过，我别无选择只能做好准备。本句中have no choice but为固定句型，在这个句型中，but前有do，则but后的不定式不能带to；相反，but前若找不到do，则but后的不定式必定带to，故prepare前加to。

第三处：考查时态。句意： 但最难的部分在于我的口头陈述。本句是对过去事实的叙述，应用一般过去时，故将lies 改为lay。

第四处：考查分词。句意：真正的时刻开始了，当我站在站台上，双腿颤抖，头脑一片空白。本句中的trembled为my legs的补足语，同my legs之间为主动关系，应用现在分词，故将trembled 改为trembling。

第五处：考查名词。句意：但我的听众正耐心地等着。本句中的listener为可数名词，谓语动词是were，listener加s，故将listener 改为listeners。

第六处：考查宾语从句的连接词。句意：似乎过了很久，我发现我的观众在鼓掌。本句中which seemed to be ages为宾语从句，连接词在从句中做主语，意为“什么”，故将which改为what。

第七处：考查代词。句意：事实上，随着我信心的建立，我现在变成了一个伟大的演说家。本句的主要是I，所以本句中的形容词性物主代词指代的是我的，故将your改为my。

第八处：考查冠词。句意：同上。本句great speaker表示泛指，且great首字母的发音为辅音音素，应用a来修饰，故将the改为a。

第九处：考查固定短语。句意：回首过去，我知道通往成功路上最大的困难是恐惧。回首过去是look back，为固定短语，故删除at。

第十处：考查固定句型。句意：克服它，你就能实现你的目标。本句为固定句型，祈使句+and/or陈述句，本句表达的是承接关系，应用and，故将or改为and。
