参考答案及解析

参考答案及解析:
1. where—when
2. a lake—the lake．据上下文判断，这是指离海边唯一的湖泊，因此用定冠词
3.在happened前加had
4. good—well．副词well修饰swim
5.sunk—sinking．现在分词表示正在进行的动作
6. out—off
7. drowned—drowning．drowned意味着此人已经被淹死了，drowning表示正在进行，快要淹死了
8. 去掉as．直接由to stretch作状语　
9. across—around．across意味“穿过”，即“穿过他的脖子”，意义不通顺。改为around即为“抱着他的脖子”，合乎逻辑和本文意义
10. pulled—pulling
