【答案與解析】

1. basket→baskets。用可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式表示類別。2. 去掉 that。此處表示泛指。3. which前 加in或者將which 改為where。關(guān)系副詞在定語從句中作狀語,修飾 are kept。4. and→but 5. much→more。even修飾比較級,此處even more surprised意為"更加驚訝"。 6. few前加a或few改為some。從下文看,在垃圾箱周圍站著一些孩子,所以此處表示肯定意義。 7. came→went 8. run→running。用現(xiàn)在分詞作saw的賓語補足語,表示當時的情景"小老鼠正跑來跑去"。9. 此行無錯。 10. 在interested前加more構(gòu)成比較級。
