I was taking a train to London’s Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise a nd filled with people.
Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn’t find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.
No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others on need, the world would be a better place to live.

这篇短文主要记述了在车站上乘客们帮助一个陌生人找车票的故事。

第二处：noise改为noisy。

结合语境可知此处用形容词做表语。

第三处：comes改为came。

这篇短文描述的是过去发生的事情，故此处用一般过去时态。

第四处：but改为and。

找不到票和变得心烦是顺接关系，故用and。

第五处：searching后面加for。

短语search for寻找，搜索。

搜索某物一般用search for表示。

第六处：his改为its或者the。

此处指的是这张票的主人，故人称代词用its或加定冠词。

三、阅读理解
20. I prefer Lynne Truss’s phraseology (措辞): I am a grammar “sticker”. And, like Truss ― author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves ― I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar m istakes that make people look stupid.
Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be stuck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job ― even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.
Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit and Dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. If job hopefuls can’t distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.
Of course, we write for a living. iFixit is the world’s largest online repair manual (说明书), and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. So it makes sense that we’ve made a strong strike against grammar errors.
But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn’t make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the Internet. And for better or worse, people judge you if you can’t tell the difference between “their” “there” and “they’re”. Good grammar makes good business sense ― and not just when it comes to hiring writers.
Writ ing isn’t in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers. Grammar signifies more than just a person’s ability to remember high school English. I’ve found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing ― like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applica nts who don’t think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren’t important.
54. The author agrees with Lynne Truss in that__________.
A. grammar mistakes can’t be tolerated
B. books on grammar makes people stupid
C. people need to learn basic grammar
D. grammar mistakes are ly unavoidable
55. What’s the author’s “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?
A. They should be left out for a job
B. They have to correct their mistakes
C. They aren’t qualified for their job
D. They must be severely punished
56. Which of the following is TRUE of iFixit and Dozuki?
A. Only one of them has a compulsory grammar test.
B. They are companies where one learns grammar.
C. Grammar is quite important for their existence.
D. They depend on grammar for a
living.
57. What can we learn from the text?
A. Companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.
B. Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.
C. A “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair.
D. People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.参考答案：
