If we stand on a city street and looking up at the sky, the stars seems dim or far away. The lights of city blind us. Tall buildings shut out great parts of the sky.
But let us go out and climb a hill on a clear summer night. The city’s lights and buildings left far behind. The sky seems like a soft blue curtain over our heads. And the stars are like diamond twinkling in the sky.
As we stand looking upward, we are doing something which men have been doing from the beginning of history. Wisely men and shepherds looked in wonder at the same pinpoints of light thousands of years ago. What were they made of? How did they come to be up there in the sky?
People watched the heavens to find answers of these questions. The study of stars is the old of all sciences.
在线课程【答案】1. looking改为look
2. seems改为seem
3. or改为and
4. The lights of city blind us中of和city之间加上the
5. buildings left之间加上are
6. diamond改为 diamonds
7. which改为that或者删掉which
8. Wisely改为Wise
9. of改为to
10. old 改为oldest
【解析】1.考查并列谓语。句意：如果我们站在城市的街道上，仰望天空 的话，星星似乎很昏暗遥远。此句中and接并列的谓语，故looking改为look。
2.考查主谓一致。主语 the stars 后谓语形式为seem，故seems改为seem。
3.句意：星星似乎很昏暗遥远。这里昏暗和遥远是并列的，故 or改为and
4. 句意：是这个城市的灯光让我们看不清楚了。上文提到过的a city，再次提到用定冠词the，故of和city之间加上the。
5. 考查被动语态。句意：城市的灯和建筑物被远远的抛在后面。根据句意可知这里是被动语态，故在buildings和 left之间加上are。
6. 考查名词的数。句意：星星就像钻石在空中闪光。这里名词复数stars比作 diamonds ，故diamond改为 diamonds。
7. 考查定语从句的关系词。句意：当我们站着往上空看时，我们正在做的是从历史之初人们就一直做的事情。不定代词something做先行词，关系词用that，that在定语从句中做宾语，可以省略，故which改为that，或者删去which。
8. 句意：智慧的人们和牧羊人几千年前惊奇地看着这些光。形容词wise修饰名词men and shepherds ，故Wisely改为Wise。
9. 考查介词。句意：人们看着天空想要找到这些问题的答案。answer to questions 问题的答案，故of改为to。
10. 考查最高级。句意：星体的研究是所有科学中最古老的。根据句意可知用最高级，故old 改为oldest。
