1. of –from 2.quiety—quiet 3.soˇwell 4.to—at 5.√ 6.that-why 7.talked—talk
8.stranger-strangers 9.since—but 10.(删去)about 或在about前加something
1. 此题考查词汇用法。将of改为表示来源意义的from。
2. 此题考查并列情况。将quietly改为形容词形式quiet，使其与shy并列，共同作介词as的宾语。
3. 此题考查固定搭配。在well 前加上as，使其与well后的as形成完整搭配。
4. 此题考查固定搭配。laugh at…意为“嘲笑”laugh to…意为“对……大笑”，根据句意，故应将to改为at。
5. 此题无错。
6. 此题考查句法结构。将that改为表示原因引导宾语从句的why。
7. 此题考查时态知识。将talked改为talk，使其与上下文的时间和动词形式一致。
8. 此题考查名词单复数。将stranger改为strangers，使其与句子主语we一致。有的考生认为此处没有错，认为stranger可以作形容词，这是不对的。
9. 此题考查语句连贯。根据上下文，前后句之间为转折关系，故应将since改为but。
10. 此题考查词汇用法。tell的结构为tell sb. sth. (告诉某人某事)和tell sb. sth about sth.(告诉某人有关某事的某些内容)，故可以去掉about，或者在about前加上something。
