Li Daiyu and Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins on the Atlantic coast. Rather than taking the plane all the way, they took the train from west to east crossing by Canada. The thought that they could go across whole continent was exciting.

Canada is the second large country in the world. People say Vancouver is Canada’s most beautiful city surrounding by mountains and the Pacific Ocean. On the northern coast of Vancouver, it is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measured over 90 meters.

That afternoon aboard the train, the cousins settled down in their seat. They manage to catch sight of some mountain goats or even a grizzly bear. They had learned where most Canadians live within 320 kilometers of the USA border and the population is only slightly over thirty million.

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，李黛玉和刘谦去加拿大访问大西洋沿岸表亲时路中的所见所闻。

1. 考查动词原形。Rather than在此处用作连词，后接动词原形与后面谓语动词took并列，意为“而不是”，应用动词原形take。故将taking改为take。

2. 考查及物动词。cross（穿过）是及物动词，后面直接接名词，去掉by。故去掉by。

3. 考查冠词。此处指“加拿大这整片大陆”，是特指，应用定冠词the表特指。故在whole前加the。

4. 考查最高级。此处指“加拿大是世界上第二大国家”，所以用形容词最高级。故将large改为largest。

5. 考查过去分词。名词city 和动词surround是逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词表被动，作名词city的后置定语。故将surrounding改为surrounded。

6. 考查现在分词。此处是独立主格结构，动词measure是不及物动词，没有被动，应用现在分词。故将measured改为measuring。

7. 考查名词的数。此处的座位不只一个，应用seat的复数。故将seat改为seats。

8. 考查时态。本文事情已发生，时态以一般过去时为主，谓语动词用一般过去时。故将manage改为managed。

9. 考查连词。此处意为“看见了一些山羊和一只灰熊”，表并列，用并列连词and。故将or改为and。

10. 考查宾语从句引导词。learn后接一个宾语从句，从句是陈述句，不缺少任何成分，引导词不做任何成分，无意义，应用that或省略that。故将where改为that 或去掉where。
