任何可能的发现，不管多么微不足道，都将成为知识宝库中的一部分。薃3将theirs改为their;肁4将among改为between;在两次怀孕期间留出足够的间隔时间，故用 between。罿5将过去分词excluded改为介词excluding。excluding意为"不包括…”肇6将respectably改为respectively;respectively 意为“分别地”，符合句子的意思。而respectably意为“可敬的，值得尊敬地”。蚅7将evidences改为evidence。evidence是不可数名词。肁8将ill改为illness。荿9将year改为years。蒅10将lesser改为less莄（二）膁参考答案及解析:肄1将no改为not蒁2将place改为Iand;place是可数名词，作"地方”讲，而land意为"土地，田地”是不可数名词。例如:蒇Solitudeisagoodplacetovisitbutapoorplacetostay.薅当你偶尔光顾时，独处是一个美妙的境地，但是如果久留，它却是一个糟糕的地方。膁Thereisavacantpieceoflandnearthehouse;wecanbuildthere.罿3将started改为start;start应使用不定式，以和前面的find，build一致。膆4将working改为work。work应该用第三人称复数，和live一致。另外，family在这里作“家人”讲，是复数。蚄5将anyone改为everyone;这里是要用everyone指每个人，而不是要用anyone泛指。薂6将but删除蚁7将before改为after;根据上下文判断，这里要表达的是二战之后。艿8将But改为And;根据语意，这里要表达的是递进关系，而不是转折关系。例如：蚄WhenIdogood,Ifeelgood.WhenIdobad,Ifeelbad.Andthat 'smyreligion.羃当我行善事，我感到坦然；当我行恶时，我感到内疚。这就是我的人生之道。聿9将it改为they羈10在housethe中间加入介词as;regard…as作“把 当作 ”讲。螄（三）莄参考答案及解析:螁1.在which前加in，或将which改为where;在这里which引导限制性从句，修饰先行词thesociety。inwhich在从句中作状语，当然也可以用关系副词where引导定语从句，并在从句中作状语，例如：螇Moneyisabottomlesssea,inwhichhonor,conscience,andtruthmaybedrowned.袄2.将as改为than螅3.将So改为But或者However或者Nevertheless。因为这里上下文是转折关系。艿4.将about去掉;因为explain是及物动词。螀5.将you改为they羄6.将like改为as;因为suchas是固定搭配。袂7.将takes改为gives;giveriseto表示“引起，导致”之意。蕿9.将others改为other;这样theother就和上文的one构成固定搭配，表示在两个中"一个 ；另外一个 ”肄10.将harmful改为harmless，只有这样才可以表达上下文的对比关系。节（四）蚂参考答案及解析:莇supernova名词，[天]超新星膄1.将as改为since或者because。在表示原因的连接词中，只有 as引导的原因状语从句不能位于主句之后，只能位于句首。蚃2.将adequate改为inadequate，或者在are后加not。从逻辑上分析，因为我们拥有的科学术语“不充足”，所以才无法回答这个问题，所以用否定形式。膀3.在which前加into。这是一个定语从句，意思是“黑洞是太空中物质可以掉进去的地方” ，所以定语从句应该为“intowhichmatterhasfallen”。膆4.将but改为so。上文已提到“连光都无法从黑洞中逃出” ，所以我们根本无法看到黑洞。这里应该是因果关系，而不是转折关系。芄5.将thus改为so。这句话的意思是“那只是空间一或者我们认为它只是空间” 。so做think的宾语，thus只能做连词，不能做宾语。肄6.将which改为whose。这个定语从句的意思是“它是一颗星，其密度非常大，由于自身的引力，它在不断地收缩”。matter属于star，所以关系代词应该用whose。袂7.去掉in。result为不及物动词，意为“形成了”，而“resultinsth。”意为“导致某结果”。腿8.将masses改为mas&mass可指“大量的物质”，而“themasses”特指“劳动群众”，用在此处不妥。芃9.将ideas改为idea。“idea”在表达“印象”时，为不可数名词，不可以用复数。10.11.芁将no改为any。分析便知，任何在黑洞附近的东西都会被吸进去。莀（五）羈参考答案及解析:莃1.将which改为that。先行词由最高修饰时定语从句的关系代词只能用 that。蚂2.在thought后面加of,或者将thought改为regarded。“thinkofAasB”，指“把A看作B”，为固定搭配。。中间的“where••”只是插肂3.去掉he。这句话的主语是“tohuntawhale。中间的“where••”只是插入的状语从句。蚇4.在referred后加to。“refertoAasB”只"把A称作B",这句话的意思是"古人把鲸称作大鱼” 。螇5.在felt后加for。这句话实际的结构是“feelasenseofwonderforwhales”指“对鲸怀有惊奇的感觉”，for引出对象。肃6.在exploit后加them。capture，slaughter，exploit都是及物动词，后面必须加宾语。蒀7.去掉but。前面已有“eventhough”，后面就不应该再用but。螀8.将since改为from。“100yearsfromnow”指“从现在起100年后”since只能用于完成时。袇9.在blame前加to。“betoblameforsth”指“对某事应负责任”，为固定搭配。蒄10.在always前加has。这个定语从句强调对现在的影响，很明显应该用完成时，不能用过去式。膂（六）葿参考答案及解析:袇l.with改为without。”hardyanymomentpasseswithoutsomeone…”,两个否定：without禾口hardly,意思是"每一时刻有人……”。袅2.fast前面加the因为fastandsuccessfuluse 这个词组后边有一个前置词短语 oflanguage修饰use，所以被修饰的词前面加定冠词。虿3.thanonourselves改为thanthingsonourselves。在这里比较的是两件事：thingsaroundusandthingsonourselves（我们周围的事物和我们自身的东西）。第二个things不能省略，否则引起误解。芈4.differs改为distinguishes。语言区分人与动物，differ是不及物动词，后面不能带宾语，只能用介词，如：Mandiffersfromanimalsinthatmanpossesseslanguage。羇5.inquire改为acquire“习得语言”应该是acquirelanguage，名词短语是languageacquisition。Inquire是“询问”的意思。羁6.we前面加上do副词nor放在句首表示强调，应用倒装句，一般现在时强调句是在主语前面加助动词 do。莁/r/bination改为relationships.语言和思维的关系，不是结合；语言和思维的关系是当代语言学研究的重要领域。芀8」ike改为as。根据上下文，要表达的意思是“作为语言的使用者” ，不是“像语言的使用者”。莁9.a去掉这里是否定的意思：“我们没有多少人……”而不是“我们一些人 .….”。蚆10.assured改为assumed.这句的后半部分意思是“研究语言的必要性比我们想象的要大得多” 。Assure译为"确保”;assume译为“假设”或者“想象”的意思。肃（七）莃参考答案及解析:蒁1.strucked改为struck或者stricken;过去分词形式有误。strike的过去式是struck，过去分词为struck或者stricken。肇2.date改为dated或者outdated袅3.onotherhand改为ontheotherhand肂4.entire改为entirely;副词修饰形容词different，并与different一起修饰age。薁5.minority改为majority;从上下文以及常识判断，多半男性成功地抵制了改变他们服装款式的企图，即多年来，男性大服装款式跟女性服饰相比没有多大的变化。蒈6.it改为them;them指代thegreatmajorityofmen。芃7.fewer改为few;此处没有比较的意味。袁8.去掉on;laydown为习语，表示“规定（规则，原则，法规等）”。薀9.sometime改为sometimes。薅10.height改为high;形容词作be的表语。羅（八）蚀参考答案及解析:蚀1.establishing改为establish,这里是不定式羆2.将height改为high/peak。整句话的大意为他们把男女的婚龄降了下来，使出生率达到了20世纪的高峰。蒃high可以用作名词，意为“高峰”，“高水准”，“最高纪录”。蚃height可以作“极点，顶点”解释。例如：Theheightofclevernessistoconcealone'scleverness。螀3.将第二个不定冠词a去掉。steadydecline意为持续的下降，前面不用加冠词。又如：yearsofhardwork。根据语感可以判断出来。莇4.在went后加on，或将went改为lasted。此处是“持续”的意思，所以可以用wenton或者last来表达。膅5.将high改为higher。此处意为美国人结婚率比以前提高了，有与战前相比的意思，因此应用比较级。more与蒂6.删掉more。此处的大意为战后离婚率也下降了，这个现象不大有人注意，但同样也很重要。另外，equallymore与螈8.将that改为those。此处的代词应指marriages这个复数名词，因此应用those。此处考察代词与先行词一致的问题。蚂9.将Since改为Although/Though/While。此处是转折关系，不是因果关系。膁10.将in改为to。短语totheextent是固定搭配。羀（九）腿参考答案及解析:莄1.将on改为by。“bytheway”作"根据 方式”讲。芃2.将unaware改为aware;根据下文中的“Suchapersonneverbumpintootherpeople”判断，这种人不会“目中无人”。肀3.将as改为than;“more+adj/of+n+than”是固定搭配。莅4.将it改为which;which在此引导一个非限制性定语从句，which在从句中作主语，需要注意的是，在从句中hesaid是插入语。肆5.将at改为in;名词thecountry前要用介词in。羂6.将hasn't改为hadn't;根据上下文我们可以看出这里需要使用过去完成时。膀7.将American改为Arab。根据上文，我们可以看出，这里讲述的是赴"阿拉伯”传统宴会的"美国人”的故事，而不是赴“美国”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事。螆8.将as改为like;介词as意思为“作为”，like意思为“像”。蒄9.将falls改为fell;这里要使用一般过去时。螁10.将第一个of删掉。say作为及物动词，后面可直接跟名词作宾语。膀（十）膇参考答案及解析:芆1.在newone前加a;这里one指代上下文中的可数名词purpose，因此该词前要有限定词。薀2.将filling改为filled;在这里，非谓语动词fill与句子的who（poorimmigrants）之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此要使用过去分词来表示被动意义。艿3.去掉though薈4.将this改为what;根据句子结构，我们可以看出这里需要一个关系代词，它既能引导主语从句，同时也
