　　参考答案与简析：

　　I. 1. √ 2. managed 改为tried。根据上下文可知，人们一直在尝试做天气预报。 3. is改为are。The following后面的谓语动词的单复数取决于后面的some of their findings。 4. seemed改为seem。叙述客观情况，并且整篇文章主体时态是一般现在时。 5. sign前加a。sign是可数名词，根据语境和逻辑此处应用单数。 6. 第一个that 改为which。引导非限制性定语从句要用which，而不能用that。 7. sound改为sounds。根据主谓一致原则，本句的谓语是复数，主语sound也应该是复数。 8. storm改为stormy。要用形容词stormy作定语修饰名词weather。 9. 去掉will。在条件状语从句中，要用一般现在时表示将来。 10. fine前加be或become。根据句法和行文逻辑，此处缺少系动词。

　　II. 1. expected改为expecting。“一直在期待着你的来信”，所以用进行时。 2. 去掉to。reach是及物动词，后面直接加宾语。 3. usually改为usual。as usual“和往常一样”，是习语。 4. same前加the。the same as...“和……一样”，是固定搭配。 5. examinations改为examination。期末考试是一次考试，名词用单数。 6. preparing改为reviewing。复习功课应用review，预习功课为prepare。 7. √ 8. much前加how。how much作连接词，在句中作say的宾语，引导从句，而much本身不能引导从句。 9. spend改为spending。look forward to中to是介词，因此后接spend的动名词形式。 10. anyone改为everyone。家中的每个人，要用everyone。
