导同位语从句，解释说明the fact的具体内容。

10．especially 考查词性转换。此处表示“尤其是与心爱的人一起度过的美好时光”，结合句意可知，空处应用副词作状语，故填especially。

五、短文改错

(2017年河北衡水中学一模)

假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线(\\)划掉。

修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：

1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；

2．只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。

I believe anyone can make themselves something good to eat.Cooking is a lot of easier for us than most of us think.Last Sunday my parent were away on business.I left alone, with no one to cook for me.As I had a good chance to cook myself a wonderful meal.Early in the morning I went to the market, buying some beefsteak and tomatoes and then came back.Before cooking, I put a few oil, salt and sugar on the steak and mixed it together.When the pot was hotter enough I began to fry the steak.Then I cooked some tomato soup with the egg in it.The food tasted deliciously!

答案：第一处：去掉第一个of。a lot修饰形容词比较级。 第二处：parent→parents。由后面were可知应用复数。

第三处：left前加was。由语境及“with no one to cook for me”可知应用被动语态。 第四处：As→So。与前一句构成因果关系。

第五处：buying→bought。此句三个并列谓语went, bought, came形式应一致。 第六处：few→little。oil为不可数名词，a little修饰不可数名词。 第七处：it→them。此处指代oil, salt和sugar，故用复数。 第八处：hotter→hot。后有enough，应用形容词原级。

第九处：the→an。此处为泛指，且egg为元音音素开头，故用an。 第十处：deliciously→delicious。taste为系动词，后接形容词做表语。 六、七选五

(2018·成都市诊断性检测)Color is in everything we touch, taste, smell and feel.It evokes (唤起) emotion without any thought.__1__ We are all familiar with it, but do you know the following facts?

__3__ Tough prisoners and crazy patients? It is the color commonly used to help calm down those who are out of control.So it surely has a useful place and a purpose, other than decorating a dress or Barbie's dream house.

Yellow makes you hungry.Yellow and orange are not recommended for use in kitchens, as they have a positive influence on your appetite.__4__ I'm not normally one for conspiracy (阴谋) theories — but perhaps there's something in it for them if we remain ignorant of yellow's effects.

Color is an imaginary friend.Technically, it's all in our heads: color does not exist at all.__5__ So, if you start a heated debate over color combinations with someone that you are certain has a low IQ or is just color-blind, remember it's a pointless argument and you should drop it instantly. You're both wrong.
