17、remembered as a great actor which could inspire people 去掉 thatwith great confident. confidence第一处:had改为has。考查时态。时间状语up to now(到目前为止)应与现在完成时连用,故将had改为has。第二处:well改为better。考查比较级。由该词后面的than可知应使用比较级,故将well改为better。第三处:in改为with。考查形容词短语。be content with是固定搭配,表“对满意”。第四处:第五句中的carried改为carrying。考查非谓语动词。动词carr
18、y与wearing由and并列连接作person的后置定语,该动词与person之间是逻辑上的主动关系,故用carrying。第五处:第六句中was和social中间加a。考查冠词。该句中抽象名词failure具体指代this character,故抽象名词具体化,应加a。第六处:第六句中的and改为but。考查连词。该连词前后的内容是转折关系,故将and改为but。第七处:entertained改为entertaining。考查形容词。entertaining表“令人愉快的;有趣的”,常用来修饰指物的名词或代词;entertained表“感到快乐的”,常用来修饰指人的名词或代词。该句中作宾语
19、的名词situation后缺少宾补,故用entertaining。第八处:第八句中的them去掉。考查定语从句。he starred in是省略关系代词的定语从句,被省略的关系代词已经是in后面的宾语,故将重复的宾语them去掉。第九处:最后一句中which改为that。考查定语从句引导词。先行词是指人的名词actor,且关系代词在从句中作主语,故用who或that。第十处:confident改为confidence。考查名词。介词with后应用名词,故将confident改为confidence。【备注】喜剧演员查理卓别林风趣幽默,他的表演给人们带来了许多快乐。他扮演的流浪者的角色因其乐观及
