John fought to keep his head above the water and at the same time tried to swim toward the boat, pulled the man with him. __10__
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
