27、hen。8考查谓语动词 (过去式)。根据上下文可知作者在描述 过 去的事情，应用动词的一般过去时。此外，whisper 是规则动词，在 词尾直接加 ed 构成其 过去时形式。9考查非谓语动词(过去分词)。根据语境，此处的意思应为“惊喜的笑容” ，所以用过去分词形容词作 smile 的定语。10考查词性转化(动词变名词)。结合上下文，此处的意思是“伟大魔术师 Jason 的最好的表演” ，可知“表演”在这里是一个名 词。.短文改错 导 学 号 42492404假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加，删
