【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[名师解析] 这是篇小散文。春夏过去了。Freddie是一片叶子，他开始长大了，前面有个助动词had，所以这里是完成时，必须选grown，grow的过去时是grew，作为构成完成时的过去分词是grown。Freddie很强壮，绿油油的。因为全文是过去时，所以这里的be动词也该是过去时，had been表示以前曾经怎样，不对，因为Freddie才开始长大，是现在才变得强壮的，而不是以前。他最先在春天出现时是高高的树顶上粗枝上的一片小叶子，这里主句已完整了，所以不能再用is了，而这里并没有用比喻，Freddie本身就是叶子了，所以也不能用like像，只能用介词as，表示“以什么的样子，什么身份”，比如，我们可以说She works as a teacher她的工作是老师。Freddie被其他上百片叶子包围着， other hundreds表示其他上百片叶子，省略了leaves，无论是hundred还是thousand这里都必须用复数，否则前面必须有个数词如one hundred或a thousand。叶子的复数形式是 leaves Freddie以为所有的叶子都是一样的，但后来他发现没有两片叶子是相同的，表示相同的，可用the same或形容词alike，like不是形容词；same做表语时，前面必须有the，所以这里只能用alike。Afred是他旁边的叶子，后面跟to，所以只能用next，否则就可以用beside。Freddie，Afred，Ben和Clare一起生长，他们学会在春风里跳舞，在夏日懒洋洋地晒太阳，在凉快的雨里冲洗。enjoy是个动词，lazy(懒洋洋地)如果要修饰它必须是副词，所以应该是lazily，形容词变副词时，如果结尾是y，y前面又是辅音，必须去y加ily。Cool这个词，如果做形容词用表示凉爽，如形容天气，或形容人的酷，做动词时表示“使什么凉快下来”，这里的雨使叶子感到凉快，而且是主动的，所以应该用cooling。
