My father’s friend Henry used to be a teacher at a medical school and he was very strict to his students. The students were afraid of him though he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. Once a student seated before him, and Henry required him to describe a certain illness, his description of them turned out to be OK. Then Henry asked about the cure for the illness, but the student gave the right answer. “How much will you give the patient?” “A full spoon!” Suddenly the student realizes that there was anything wrong. He said anxiously, “I’ve made the mistake; a full spoon is too many, and he can take only five drops.” “It’s too late; your patient has been died.” Henry said coldly.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。朋友的父亲Henry老师对学生非常严格，学生很怕他。文章中讲述了发生在他与学生之间的事情。

1.考查介词。根据短语be strict with sb.表示“对某人严格要求”。故to改为with。

2.考查连词。句意：他的学生很怕他，因为他很少对他们的答案感觉满意。两句之间是因果关系，所以用because/as/for引导原因状语从句，而though引导让步状语从句。故though改为because/as/since。

3.考查动词。根据短语be seated表示“坐着”，且描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时，主语为a student，谓语动词应用单数。故student后加was。

4.考查定语从句。句意：有一次，一个学生坐在他面前，Henry要求他描述一种疾病，结果证明他的描述是正确的。两句之间没有连词，所以此处为“介词+关系代词”结构非限定性定语从句修饰先行词illness，且做介词of的宾语指代“疾病”应用关系代词which。故them改为which。

5.考查连词。句意：然后Henry问了关于这种病的治疗方法，学生给出了正确的答案。前后句意是承接关系，应用and。故but改为and。

6.考查动词时态。本文讲述的是过去发生的事情，全文都使用一般过去时。故realizes改为realized。

7.考查不定代词。代词anything通常用于疑问句和否定句中，something通常用于肯定句中。本句是一个肯定句，所以使用something。故anything改为 something。

8.考查冠词。mistake为可数名词，此处表示泛指“一个错误”应用不定冠词，且mistake为辅音音素开头的单词故用a。故the改为a。

9.考查形容词。Henry询问用药的剂量，药物是不可数名词，所以使用much修饰，而many要修饰可数名词复数形式。故many改为much。

10.考查动词语态。动词die为不及物动词，无被动语态。故has后been去掉。
