4.Don’t__________ the bus before it has stopped.
5.She was __________ in the leg.
6.My parents don’t __________ me to stay outside alone at night.
答案:Ⅰ.1.referred to本句意为“在发言中,校长提到了地方政府对学校的大力支持”。由后面的received可知refer要用其过去式。
2.frightening本句意为“多可怕的声音”。frighten是动词,其形容词形式为frightening(可怕的)和frightened(受惊吓的),前者通常修饰物,后者通常修饰人。
3.got on本句意为“车一停下小男孩就上了车,令他失望的是,车上已没有空位了”。由后面的stopped可知get要用其过去式。
4.get off本句意为“车停稳前别下”。因为是祈使句,故要用动词原形。
5.shot本句意为“她被击中了腿”。腿是被击中,故要用被动语态。
6.allow本句意为“夜晚我父母不允许我独自外出”。allow sb.to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“允许某人做某事”。
Ⅱ.Correct the mistakes in the following sentences.One sentence has each.
(改正下列各句中的错误,每句只有一处。)

6.He has just returned back from America.
7.Try to phone him if you can’t find him at work.
8.We express our feeling by means with words.
答案:1.is he→he is此题考查了“特殊疑问词+do you think+陈述句?”这一结构。结构中的
do you think可看作插入语,但又影响了句子的语序,要用陈述语序。
2.holding→held hold a meeting意为“召开会议”。held last week为过去分词短语作后置定语,相当于which was held last week从句。
3.will→won’t/will后加not not...until意为“直到……才……”。本句意为“直到拿到我们的报酬我们才走”。
4.any more移至句末not...any more结构中的any more常位于动词和宾语后。
5.of→for be short of意为“缺乏”,而be short for为“是……的缩写”。
6.去掉back return不与back连用。
7.to phone→phoning try to do意为“努力做……”,而try doing意为“试着做……”。本句意为“如果在班上找不到他,试试打电话给他”。
8.with→of by means of为固定搭配,意为“通过……；靠……”。
