31、[Ml]

标准答案：ever改成never

知识点解析：根据上下文，这里表达的是否定的含义，应该将ever改为never。

32、[M2]

标准答案：that改成what

知识点解析：将这个句子简化一下，其主干部分是youcanneveragainbethatyou

werebeforeo这样一来，很明显，应该把that改为what,what既引导一个表语从

句，又在从句中作表语。

33、[M3]

标准答案：have改成has

知识点解析：manyayoungperson虽然在含义上和manyyoungpersons相同，但根

据主谓一致的原则，其后应该使用第三人称单数，以单数来对待。

34、[M4]

标准答案：to改成of

知识点解析:bebornto的用法见例子：Theirbelovedsonwasborntothecouplein

1993.而bebomof..意思为“从…中所产生或诞生的“。因此应该把to改为of。

本句中theresultofcarelessnessbornofincompletetraining的意思是“出于不完整的

教育而导致的轻率的结果”。

35、[M5]

标准答案：Anot

知识点解析：显然这句话所要表达的意思应该是否定的，因此要在。tight后加上否

定词not©

36、[M61

标准答案：2改成in

知识点解析：lemperale的用法是betemperalein,而不是belemperaieto,所以应该

把to改为in。例：Bemoretemper-ateinyourlanguage,please.言辞上请节制一

些。

37、[M7]

标准答案：ihe

知识点解析:将定冠词the去掉,intime在此意为〃经过一段时间以后；将来;早

晚”。

38、[M8]

标准答案：at改成upon

知识点解析:这是一个倒装句，upon和rely构成搭配relyupon/on。此外，upon

these与其后的upontheseonly呈舁列关系，因此把“改为upon。

39、[M9]

标准答案：which改成that

知识点解析：maxim后跟的“truthismightyandwillprevail”是一个同位语从句,而

不是定语从句，因此应将which改为that。

40、[M10]

标准答案：what改成that

知识点解析：evidence后面跟了两个并列的同位语从句thatatruthisnothardtokill

andthatalietoldwellisimmortal,因此应把what改为thato
