I don’t know if he really is so old, and it doesn’t matter．He certainly looks very old．Of course, he is often asked question by people who want to be told the secret of long life．Old Joe always answered them like this, “If you are offered a cigarette, never accept it; if you are annoyed by someone, never lose his temper; and if you are asked foolishly questions, never answer them.”

【解析】

试题分析：通过阅读并修改此短文，考查学生对固定搭配，动词时态和语态，名词的单复数问题，以及复合宾语的辨别和运用。

【1】calling → called 考查非谓语动词。called被称作，表被动，一个老人被叫做老周。

【2】who和said 之间加is 考查谓语动词。 who said to be 110 years old应该是定语从句，所以加is和said to 意思是：据说。

【3】though → because 考查连词。句意：他有110岁了这件事得不到证明因为他没有身份证。所以用because 表原因。

【4】destroy → destroyed考查谓语动词的被动形式。句意：他所有的个人资料都被毁了。这里是被动用过去分词destroyed和were构成一般过去时的被动。

【5】去掉World War Ⅱ前的the 考查固定搭配。第二次世界大战说成：World War Ⅱ或者the Second World War。

【6】and → but 考查句子之间的关系。句意：我不知道他是否真得很老了，但是这没关系。所以用but表转折。

【7】question → questions 考查名词。question 是可数名词，指很多问题用复数形式questions。

【8】answered → answers 考查谓语动词。主语是Old Joe相当于he, 一般现在时谓语动词用单三形式，所以用answers。

【9】his → your 考查代词。lose one’s temper 发脾气，主语是you，所以代词用your你的。

【10】foolishly → foolish 考查形容词。用形容词foolish修饰名词questions，副词不修饰名词。
