阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Tom studied in our middle school three years ago. Last August his father found a job in another city and his family moved there. He began to study in the new school and we often write to each other. He often tells me something about the city where he lives now and his studies in the school. So I can know what happens to him.
Last Friday Tom came to our city again. He hopes to accompany his old grandpa during the summer holiday. He’s taller and stronger than before. We swim in the river outside the city together or have a picnic on the island. It surprises me that he has learned to cook when we were traveling in the wild forest. He told me his parents were both busy and sometimes he stayed at home alone and he had to look after himself.
"How do you like your school?" I asked.
"Wonderful," said the young man. "It has a tall building and there’re two chemistry labs, two biology labs and three physics ones. And its library is big and there’re plenty of books in it."
"I can see you are satisfied with it."
"Do you like your teachers?"
"Yes, " he answered. "But our geography teacher often says to himself in class."
"So does our new history teacher," I said. "But he doesn’t notice it. He often talks on and on in a flow of eloquence (口才). But none of us listens to him!"

Finally, it’s about reading and writing. 4 And try our best to retell them. We can also keep a diary every day, and spend an hour practicing English.

Last Friday, Just before the 66th National Day holiday, I conducted interview with James Watson, a famous American scientist, about how to become a successful scientist. his opinion, to be a scientist, we to be very fond of science.

James Watson also that every child who is curiously about science should make effort to realize the dream of becoming a scientist.
第一处:conducted后加an 考查冠词。名词interview是以元音因素开头的单词,应该使用不定冠词an修饰。句意:上个星期五,在第66个国庆节之前,我对James Watson进行了一次采访。
第二处:talk→talking 考查非谓语动词。本句中动词talk与本句主语I构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词在句中充当状语。
第三处:On→in 考查固定搭配。短语in one’s opinion在某人看来,根据某人的观点。
第四处:needed→need 本句是在陈述他的个人观点,这不是过去发生的事情,而是一直以来他们所持有的观点,所以使用一般现在时即可。
第五处:most→more 考查固定搭配。短语what’s more而且,该短语在句中表示递进关系。
第六处:scientist→scientists 考查名词单复数。句意:而且我们要不断练习,还要向其他的那些成功的科学家学习。根据句意可知成功的科学家有很多,所以使用复数形式scientists。
