1．a player是可数名词，且第一次在文章中出现，故用不定冠词修饰。
2．moved 根据时间状语“At a young age”可知，此处表示过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。
3．professionally 此处用professionally修饰动词plays。
4．owned own和a small soccer team构成动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
5．taller much/far/any等副词往往修饰形容词或副词的比较级，根据语境可知，此处用taller。
6．but 根据上下文语境可知，此处表示逻辑上的转折关系，故用转折连词but。
7．that/which that或which引导限定性定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词a soccer club。
8．to accept 此处是固定词组offer to do sth.“主动提出做某事”，不定式短语作宾语，符合语境。
9．players 根据提示the best和代词one可知，此处应用名词的复数形式。
10．With 此处用with表示“具备，有”，其后跟名词、代词或动名词，符合语境。
Ⅱ.短文改错
(2016·太原市高三第二学段测评)One year ago, I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station. It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard or no fixed seats.
Gathering at the entrance of the station, we told to collect as many English words and sentences as possible here.Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.
Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.
答案：第一句：hold→held
第二句：to→with; or→and
第三句：we后加were; here→there
第四句：search→searching
第五句：comes→came; 去掉第二个the
第六句：vividly→vivid
第七句：where→wherever
Ⅲ.书面表达

参考范文：
Dear Mr. President，
Our class has been studying a unit on first aid. It has been very useful because we have learnt about what to do to help someone who has had an accident.
Even though the unit is very interesting and useful, we would like to be able to do a first aid course. Because it would give information about many more situations. It would also give us the chance to practice first aid treatments.
I suggest that the school should organize a first aid course. We think such a course at the school is a necessary part of our education and will make us more useful members of our society. Perhaps we will even save someone's life one day.
Best regards!
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
