C Read an Asian elephant's letter to humans. Circle the mistakes and correct them in the blanks below.
Dear humans,
I am an Asian elephant. I am writing thanking you for all your help. You worked hard to protect my forest home and my family and friends. You helped us surviving. I am very grateful to you for your work.
Years ago, my family and I couldn't find a safe home. Life was very difficult for us. But you decided change that. You protected our forest so that we could live happily in it. During a dry season, my family and I moved to an area near a beautiful river. I often go to the river with my family in order for drink water. Last week, I saw my baby to play in the water. It filled me with joy!
You also made laws to stop hunters. You forced people to not kill us, so there are not so many hunters today. We don't have to live in fear any more, and that fills me with happy.
Thank you for your protecting.
With love,
An Asian elephant

答案:【解析】:
这是一道英语语法纠错题,考查的是学生对英语语法规则的掌握和运用能力,包括动词形式、固定搭配、介词用法等。解题的关键在于逐句阅读信件内容,找出其中不符合英语语法规则的错误之处,并进行相应的改正。
1. “I am writing thanking you for all your help.”中,“writing”和“thanking”不能直接连用,需要用“to do”不定式表示目的,所以“thanking”应改为“to thank”。
2. “You helped us surviving.”中,“help sb. do sth.”是固定搭配,“surviving”应改为动词原形“survive”。
3. “But you decided change that.”中,“decide to do sth.”是固定搭配,缺少“to”,应改为“decided to change”。
4. “I often go to the river with my family in order for drink water.”中,“in order to do sth.”是固定搭配,“for”应改为“to”。
5. “Last week, I saw my baby to play in the water.”中,“see sb. do sth.”表示看到某人做某事的全过程,“to”多余,应删去。
6. “You forced people to not kill us,”中,“force sb. not to do sth.”是固定搭配,应改为“forced people not to kill us”。
7. “We don't have to live in fear any more, and that fills me with happy.”中,“fill sb. with sth.”,这里“happy”是形容词,应改为名词“happiness”。
8. “Thank you for your protecting.”中,“your”是形容词性物主代词,后面应接名词,“protecting”应改为“protection”。
【答案】:
(1) thanking → to thank
(2) surviving → survive
(3) change → to change
(4) for → to
(5) to play → play
(6) to not → not to
(7) happy → happiness
(8) protecting → protection

My Favorite Animal—Pandas
Pandas are one of the most special and beloved wild animals in the world. They have soft, black and white fur, and their round faces with big, black eyes make them extremely cute. They usually look very calm and gentle.
Pandas live mainly in the bamboo forests of China. They spend a lot of time eating bamboo, which is their main food. They can eat up to 12 kilograms of bamboo a day! Pandas are also good at climbing trees and often take naps on the branches. They move slowly and gracefully, making people feel very relaxed when watching them.
However, pandas are facing some serious threats. The loss of their natural habitat due to deforestation and human activities is a big problem. To make things worse, their low birth rate also makes it difficult for their population to grow.
Fortunately, the Chinese government and many wildlife organizations are taking active measures to protect pandas. They have established nature reserves to provide pandas with a safe and suitable living environment. At the same time, they are also conducting research on panda breeding to increase their population.
Let's all work together to protect these lovely creatures and their habitats. Only in this way can we ensure that pandas will continue to live happily in the wild for generations to come.
