(9)where->when/whenever

©mostly^most

【考点】短文改错

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于学生在碰到问题后的解决方式的问卷调查结果。

(1)句意：其中的一个问题是：你遇到麻烦时会去找谁？oneofthe+名词复数，意为“……之一"，为单数

含义，所以其后的系动词应用单数。结合句意，此处指问卷调查中的一个问题，所以为客观事实，时态

用一股现在时。故are改为is。

(2)gotosb.,固定短语，“求助于某人”相当于短语turntosb.forhelp。故go后加to。

(3)句意：许多同学说他们会和他们的朋友说或同学讲，因为他们是同龄人，能彼此理解。friend"朋友"

为可数名词，结合句中their,所以此处要用复数。故friend改为friends。

(4)句意：一些说他们会向他们的父母或老师求助。turntosb.forhelp,固定短语，“向某人求助“，所以

此处删除介词out。故删除turn后的out.

(5)句意：只有一些人选择自己解决问题。根据上文“Manystudentssay..."及"SomewHIturn...”可知，此处

指•些学生。student为可数名词，应用afew代指。alittle通常代指不可数名词。故little改为few。

(6)onone'sown,固定短语，“独自〃，结合句意可知，此处指学生们独自完成，所以要用代词their。故

our改为their。

(7)句意：他们的答案也表明他们不喜欢和其他人说。dislikedoingsth.,固定短语，“不喜欢做某事〃,动

名词作宾语。故talk改为talking。

(8)句意：他们很自闭。结合前文可知，文章的时态用一般现在时。故kept改为keep。

(9)句意：在我看来，当我们有麻烦时(无论什么时候我们有麻烦时)，我们应该从我们最相信的人们

那里寻求帮助。分析可知，本句为含有状语从句的复合句。主句为weshouldseekhelp...,从句表示的含

义为无论什么时候我们有麻烦或者当我们有麻烦时，所以应用when/whenever引导。故where改为

when/whenever0

(10)副词mostly,意为"大多数"：most意为"最"，此处指最相信的人，指程度。故mostly改为most。
