【解析】

试题分析:每天早晨约翰都会坐火车去上班，他每次都是买一张报纸为了消磨时间。但是一天，他在报上读到了一条重要球赛的报道，报道是如此的精彩而他竟然忘了下车，当他意识到的时候火车已经过了好几站了，于是他上班迟到了。

1.→ train。 Every morning John goes to work by trains.固定短语：by train“乘火车”，所以把trains改为train。

2.→ buys。He always buy a newspaper,本句是讲述他的一贯做法，用一般现在时，根据主谓一致的原则，应该把buy改为buys。

3. it helps to make the time pass more quickly.根据结构可知此处两个句子中间缺少连词，否则就是定语从句，所以在it前加and，或者把it改为which。

4.→ to。 he turned on the sports page.此处表达的意思是翻到报纸的体育版面，故应该用turn to “翻到”，把on改为to。

5.→ so。The report was such interesting that he forgot to get off at his station. 本句是结果状语从句，从句中修饰形容词interesting应该用so。

6.→until。He didn’t know it when he saw the sea.此处为not….until句型，指直到他看到大海他才意识到自己坐过站了，把when改为until。

7.and had to wait long time for a train to go back。固定短语：“很长时间”应该是 a long time ，故在wait后加a。

8.→ late。and had to wait long time for a train to go back。lately意思是“最近，近来”，而此处指“迟到，晚”，应该用late，把lately改为late。

9.→ was。His boss were very angry。根据主谓一致的原则可知，此处用单数谓语动词，答案是把were改为was。

10.→ more。“Work is much important than football!”根据than判断此处是比较级，而much只是用来修饰比较级，所以把much改为more。

考点：考查短文改错。
