参考答案及解析:
1.is--are.the加上形容词一类人的时候后面应用动词的复数形式,如:The old receive particular respect in Chinese society.
2.large-largely.这里large是修饰fullfilled的,所以应改为largely,表示“大部分地”,如:The fundis largely financed through government borrowing.
3.the(age)--/.动词词组come of age表示“已成年”,中间不用任何冠词,所以它一旦变为-ing形式仍然保持原样。另外要避免将原句误读成The coming of ,the age of the postwar baby boom,这样断句意思解释不通。
4.has--have.有两个原因限制了青少年进好的学校找到好的工作,这两个原因由and连接作并列主语,所以谓语动词应该用复数。
5.involved^--in.involved后面少了in,表示“关于,涉及到”,如All the children were involved in the school play.
6.^Japanese--of.当percent做名词时,它后面应加上介词of,如:The report states that 42 percent of the alunmi contributed to the endowment. 当percent作形容词或者副词时,则不加of。如:There has been a ten percent increase in the number of new students arriving at polytechnic this year.
7.^countries--other.从上句话中可知道Japan也参与了这次普查,因此在这句话里的比较结构中Japan应和其他10个同意参加普查的国家进行比较,所以应注明是10 other countries。
8.mechanic--mechanical.mechanic是名词,表示“制造工,技工”,所以这里应把它改为mechanical表示“机械的”。
9.eyebrow--eyebrows.toraise one's eyebrow 表示“(某事)引起(某人)的惊讶或不赞同”,如:He raised his eyebrows over some of the suggestions.
10.of--for.respect 后面通常跟for接人,表示“对(某人)的尊重”,如:respect for the old。
n. 道德,美德,品行,道德观
