The tendency nowadays to wander in wildernesses is delightful
to see. Thousands of tired, nerve-shaking, over-civilized people are __1__
beginning to find out that going to mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and mountain parks and reservations are __2__
useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, and as __3__
fountains of life. Awakening from the stupefying effects of the
vicious of over-industry and the deadly apathy of luxury, they are __4__
trying as best they can to mix and enrich their own little ongoings
with that of Nature, and to get rid of rust and disease. Briskly __5__
venturing and roaming, some are washing off sins and cares of the
devil's spinning in storms on mountains, bending down and parting
sweet, flowery sprays; tracing rivers back their sources, getting in __6__
touch with the nerves of Mother Earth; jumping from rock to rock, panting in whole-souled exercise, and rejoicing in deep, long-drawn
breathes of pure wildness. This is fine and natural and full of promise. __7__
So also was the growing interest in the care and preservation of __8__
forests and wild places in general, and in the half wild parks and gardens of towns. Even the scenery exists in its most artificial forms, mixed with spectacles, silliness, and kodaks; its devotees
arrayed gorgeously than scarlet tanagers, frightening the wild game __9__
with red umbrellas,--even this is encouraging, and may well be
regarded as a hopeful sign of times. __10__
答案及解析:
1.nerve-shaking--nerve-shaken
句中用的是shake“动摇（信心，信念）”这一意义，而作为这个意思是，shake是及物动词，例如：She was shaken by the crisis。所以作为名词定于应该用它的-ed形式。
2.^mountain --that
谓语动词词组find out 后面实际上有三个并列的宾语从句，当宾语从句并列时，只有第一个宾语从句的引导词that可以省略。而人们常常把最后一个宾语从句的引导词that省略掉。
3.and--but
前文中有一个“not only”，那么后面必须要有“but（also）”与之对应，否则这个结构便是不完整的。
4.vicious--vice
vicious是形容词，它对应的名词形式是vice。
5.that--those
代词和它的先行词必须保持单复数的一致，原文中that的先行词应该是on-goings，那么应该用that的复数形式those。
6.back^--to
trace back to 的意思是“追溯到”，其中副词back可以省略，然而介词to是不可以缺少的。
7.breathes--breaths
breathe和breath这两个词容易混淆，前者是动词，后者是名词，这里是名词形式，所以用breath的复数形式breaths。
8.was--is
虽然这一句很长，它的结构是动词替代“so+代动词do+somebody”最简短反应。代动词do包括助动词be、have、do等情态助动词。在一般情形下，代动词do的时态与前句是一致的。
9.^gorgeously--more
既然这个句子中有“than”，那么就应该有比较级与之搭配。
10.^times--the
表示时代是，要用复数加定冠词the times。如：
He is not willing to move with the times.

Ancient man attempted to change the weather by using
magic. While experience taught him this was impossible, __1__
he tried to forecast weather conditions. Even earlier in __2__
1000 B.C.there were weather seers in Babylon----and
priests clever enough to denounce as frauds those predicted __3__
the weather a year in the advance. Some forecasters used __4__
methods that seemed to take no connection with the actual __5__
factors controlled the weather. Chickens and other animals __6__
were sacrificed and their intestines poked to find signs
indicating rain and drought. Somewhat more scientific were __7__
predictions based on vegetation:\"Onion's skin very thin ,mild
weather coming in. Onion's skin thick and tough, coming
weather is cold and rough.\" Insects and animals were also __8__
favorite weather clues: \"Before the glowworm lights his __9__
lamp , then the air is always damp .\" \"If spiders their cobwebs
forsake , the weather will for certain break .\" \"If frogs remained
in pools , the weather will be fine . If they were seen on rocks, __10__
rain and cold were due.\" It's difficult to say whether this rhyme
should be taken seriously : \" Hark , I hear the asses bray . Me thinks
we'll have some rain today .\"
答案及解析:
1.While—When或After
本句的this指代的是to change the weather by using magic. when/after 引导时间状语
2.in—than
earlier是early的比较级，其后应有than
3.those之后加who
who引导定语从句
4. 删除advance前的the
in advance为习语
5. take—have
have connection with 为习语
6. controlled—controlling或在controlled前加that/which
controlling the weather 或that/which controlled the weather做定语修饰the actual factors
7. and—or
rain和draught只能是二者之一
8. 删除is
与上文平衡，均为省略句
9. before—when/if
条件句
10. will—would
if引导的是条件句用的是remained一般过去时

The aim of a job interview is to establish whether you are likely to do well in a particular job in a specific organization. This is not only a matter of
having the necessary technical knowledge and skill. You __1__
must also have the motivation, the ability to adapt to
new ways of working and a new working environment, and __2__
the personality to do the job and fit into a new team.
But there are other personal skills affect your success __3__
in a job. These include getting on with people, oral or __4__
written communication, team working, problem solving and good time management.
Most people think that interviewers know what they
are looking for and will recognize when they see it. __5__
However, people are actually not very good at assessing
one and another. This applies to recruiters as much as __6__
anyone else. In fact a former head of selection at one big firm used to say that \"some interviewers are so poor they would do better to rely on chances.\"
In companies which recognize this, various methods are
used to try to find the correct person. The most common __7__
is the structured interview. Research has shown that
this approach is more reliable than the ordinary job
interniew, though not as affective as using tests or __8__
assessment centers. In a structured interview, the
interviewer groups the qualities listing in the job __9__
specification under various headings. There are two well-established structures for this: the National Institute of Industrial Psychology's Seven-Point Plan
the Five-Fold Grading System. The interviewers score
candidates for how well they fit the job specification. __10__
答案及解析:
1.skill--skills
skill一词为可数名词，所以要用复数形式。
2.and^(a)--to
在a前面加上to。句子中的a new working environment 和 new ways of working 并列充当adapt to 的宾语，介词to 在此不可以省略。
3.affect--affecting或者^affect--that/which
这句话已经有谓语动词are了，所以动词affect可以以现在分词的形式affecting出现，做定语修饰前面的other personal skills；在affect前面加上that或者which，以定语从句的形式修饰other personal skills。
4.or--and
全方面的交际能力应该包括“oral和written”两部分的，而不是其中之一。
5.^when--it
宾语从句中的谓语动词recognize为及物动词，气后应该接宾语，it在此处指代what they are looking for。
6.and--one another 为固定的搭配，意思是“互相，彼此”。
7.correct--right
right和correct当作“对的，正确的”解的时候为同义词，可以替换使用；但此处right应为“适宜的，合适的”，不可以与correct互换。
8.affective--effective
effective意思是“有效的，产生预期效果的”，在此与上下文的意思相吻合；而affective的意思是“情感的，表达感情的”。
9.listing-listed
这里用listed表被动意义。
10.for--against
score...against...可以看作一个固定的搭配，其意思是“根据...打分（评判）”。这个用法好像比较少见。

Is language, as food, a basic human need? Judging __1__
from the drastic experiment of Frederick in the
13th century it may be. Hoping to discover what
language a child would speak if he heard mother __2__
tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.
Today no such drastic deprivation exists as ordered __3__
by Frederick. Furthermore, some children are still __4__
backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the cues and signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to
mop up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for
acquiring skills passes away and they might never be __5__
learned so easily again.
Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age. But there are cases where speech has started late in a child
who eventually turns up to be of high IQ. Recent __6__
evidence suggests that an infant is born of the __7__
capacity to speak. But speech has to be triggered,
and this depends on interaction between the mother
and the child,where the mother realizes the cues and __8__
signals in the child's babbling, grasping, crying,
smiling, and responds to it. Insensitivity of the __9__
mother to these signals dulls the interation because
the child gets discouraged and sends out only obvious
signals. Sensitivity to the child's verbal cues is __10__
essential to the growth and development of language.
答案及解析:
1.as--like
作为介词，as是“作为”的意思；like是“像……一样”的意思。as用在此处显然句意不通。
2.^mother--no
根据下文提到的he told the nurses to keep silent 可以判断出，此处应该为if he heard no mother tongue，即：如果听不到母语，孩子会讲什么语言。
3.as^--that
句中的as是一个介词，后面缺少宾语，后面添加的that替代the deprivation，而ordered by Frederick 是一个过去分词短语，做定语修饰that。
4..Furthermore--Neverthless/However
Furthermore表示的是递进关系，而这一句话与前一句话明显构成的是转折关系。
5.away--动词pass是指“经过，通过，流逝”，而pass away是指“去世，死亡”，用在此处不和文意。
6.up--out
短语turn up的意思是“出现，找到”，而turn out 的意思是“结果证明是……”，这句话的意思是说：有些情况是说话比较迟的孩子，最终却被证明智商很高。
7.of--with
be born with...意思是“与生俱来的...”是一固定短语搭配。
8.realizes--recognizes
realize意思是“认识到，了解”，recognize的意思是“识别，认可”，可见recognize符合文章意思：语言需要激发，而这取决于母亲和孩子之间的互动，在互动当中，母亲识别孩子的牙牙学语声和笑声哭声中的暗示和信号。
9.it--them
此处指代的词是cues and signals，所以，代词应该用复数形式them。
10.verbal--nonverbal
根据上文判断，babbling，prasping，crying，smiling均为非言语信号，所以是nonverbal。

Some people say love makes the world go around.
Others say it is not love; it's money.Since the __1__
truth is that it is energy that makes the world
go around. Energy is the currency of the ecological
system and life becomes possible even when food is __2__
converted into energy, which in turns is used to seek
more food to grow, to reproduce and to survive. In this __3__
cycle all life depends. It is fairly well known that
wild animals survive from year to year by eating as many as __4__
they can during times of plenty, the summer and fall,
storing the excess, usually in the form of fat, and then
using these reserves of fat to survive during the hard time __5__
in winter when food is scarce. But it is probably less well
known that even with their stored fat, wild animals spend
less energy to live in winter than in summer. A good case
in point is white-tailed deer. Like most wildlife, deer __6__
reproduce, grow,and store fat in the summer and fall
when there is plenty of nutritious food available. A
physically mature female deer in the good condition who __7__
has conceived in November and was given birth to two fawns __8__
during the end of May and first part of June, must search
for food for the necessary energy not only to meet her
body's needs but also to reproduce milk for her fawns. The __9__
best milk production occurs at the same time that new plant
growth is available. This is good timing, because milk
production is an energy consuming process -- it requires
a lot of food. The need can be met unless the region has __10__
ample food resources.
答案及解析:
1.Since--however/But
该句子与前面两个句子在意义和逻辑上是转折关系，而since只能引导原因状语从句或者时间状语从句。
2.even--only
用only强调条件when food is converted into energy，表示“只有当食物转化为能量时”，而even没有这个意思。
3.In--On
此处实际上考查的是depend on，为了强调状语，把on this cycle放在了句首，正常的顺序应该是“All life depends on this cycle”。
4.many--much
这里much指代的是不可数名词food。
5.time--times
根据上下文的语境，此处time为“某一时期的生活状况，环境等”的含义，一般用复数形式times，再如：We lived through terrible times during the war years。
6.is^--the
这句话是说：一个很好的例子是白尾鹿。这里是表示特指，所以white-tailed deer前面应该有定冠词the。
7.the--in good condition为一个习语，good前面没有冠词。再如：The goods arrived in good condition。
8.was--句子的主语是怀孕的成年母鹿，与give birth to 是施动者与动作的关系，不应用被动语态。
9.reproduce--produce
根据常识和上下文的内容母鹿所需的能量是为了产奶（produce milk），而不是繁殖
奶（reproduce milk）。
10.can^--not
句中用到的是“not…unless…”这一固定结构表示“除非…，才能…”

For over 900 years, the Tower of London has served as a loyal __1__
palace and fortress. Today, it's famous for its bloody history and
for being the place where the Crown Jewels are kept.But it has served
for other purposes, too. It has been the royal arsenal, royal mint, __2__
royal observatory or even the royal zoo. The site of the Tower was __3__
originally part of the Roman city of Londinium.
But, in 1066, a foreigner from north west France became King William __4__
of Britain, he ordered that a wooden castle built on the banks of __5__
the river Thames. The purpose of this fortress was to help secure
London, the most important city in his view realm. Ten years later,
William had the fortress rebuild in stone, and created a great __6__
fortified palace with walls three metre thick. Today, this building __7__
is known as the White Tower, and it stands in the centre of a much
larger stone fortress, which was built during later centuries. The
Tower now covers the area of seven hectares, and it stands near the __8__
busy financial district of the capital. But, once inside the high stone
walls, it's easy to forget the modern world outside and to take a
trip back through history. To help visitors explore, there are special
ceremonial guards, called Yeoman Warders. They are also known as
Beefeaters, and they are the best resource of information about the __9__
Tower's history. Nearly 40 Yeoman live and work in the Tower.
They are former soldiers who earned the privilege of serving as __10__
Yeoman after long service.
答案及解析:
1.loyal--royal
loyal和royal两个词形似容易混淆，前者是“忠实的”，后者是“皇家的，王室的”。
2.for--/
serve the purpose 的意思是“适用，有……的用途”，不需要介词for。如：
I don't really think that this piece of furniture serves any useful purpose.
3.or--and
the royal zoo 和前面的the royal arsenal, royal mint, royal observatory都是并列项，所以在最后一项之前应该用and。
4.But^--when;^a--when
原句其实有两个分句， a foreigner from north west France became King William of Britain 和 he ordered that a wooden castle built on the banks of the river Thames,两个分句之间缺少了连词连接。根据逻辑关系，这里应该用表示时间的连接词 when。
5.^built--be
动词order后面的that从句可以是be型虚拟语气，也可以是情态助动词should。所以可以说order that a castle should be built或者order that a castle be bulit。在后一种表达中，表被动的助动词be不能省略。
6.rebuild--rebuilt
这里出现的词组应该是have something done，意思是要求别人做某事。
7.metre--metres
当数词和度量名词之间没有连词符时，名词应该用复数形式。
8.the（area）--an
an area of seven hectares这是一个同位语词组，area前应该用不定冠词。
9.resource--source
resource是“资源”，source是“来源”，所以应该说 a source of information, a source of illness, a source of knowledge等。
10.who^--have
显然earned the privilege of serving as Yeoman这个动作的结果是延续到现在的，应该用现在完成体。

Aimlessness has hardly been typical of the postwar Japan whose
productivity and social harmony are the envy of the United States
and Europe.But increasingly the Japanese is seeing a decline of their __1__
traditional work-moral values. Ten years ago young people were
hardworking and saw their jobs as their primary reason for being,
but now Japan has large fulfilled its economic needs, and young people __2__
don't know where they should go next.
The coming of the age of the postwar baby boom and an entry __3__
of women into the male-dominated job market has limited the opportunities __4__
of teen-agers who are already questioning the heavy personal
sacrifices involved climbing Japan's rigid social ladder to good __5__
schools and jobs. In a recent survey, it was found that only 24.5
percent Japanese students were fully satisfied with school life,compared __6__
with 67.2 percent of students in the United States. In addition, far
more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than
did their counterparts in the 10 countries surveyed. __7__
While often praised by foreigners for its emphasis on the basics.
Japanese education tends to stress test taking and mechanic learning __8__
over creativity and self-expression. Last year Japan experienced 2,125
incidents of school violence, including 929 assaults on teachers.
Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking a return
to the prewar emphasis on moral education. Last year Mitsuo Detoyama,
who was then education minister, raised his eyebrow when he argued __9__
that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities
after World War II had weakened the \"Japanese morality of respect of parents.\" __10__
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

Many students today display a disturbing willingness to choose
academic institutions, fields of study and careers in the basis of __1__
earning potential. In an extensive 1989 survey of college students
nationwide, 72 percent of students reported that their primary
objective to attending college was to make more money upon graduation. __2__
This state of mind came with the present generation. Studies show
that the majority of baby boomers attended college to develop
themselves, their critically thinking skills and their personal __3__
philosophies of life.
Nationaly, the number of students going into business-related fields
has sharply increased, and this rise has attributed primarily to __4__
the shift in educational and career priorities. At Duke, economy is __5__
now the most popular major, attracting nearly 15 percent of the under-
graduates, and history majors comprise only 5 percent of undergraduate __6__
population. Thirty years ago the situation was reversed, with economic
and business administration majors together consisting 8.7 percent of __7__
undergraduates and almost 12 percent of undergraduates declared __8__
themselves history majors. The number of English majors has also decreased,
from 9 percent in 1969 to 5.5 percent today.
Degrees in economics are marketed and likely to garner their holders __9__
of high salaries without the added effort of medical or law school. __10__
And given the objectives of current college students, such options
are attractive.
答案及解析:
1.in--on
词组on the basis of 中须用介词on而不是in。
2.to(attending)--in/of
不要将objective和objective相混淆，object后需加介词to，但这里应用in或者of表示“上大学的目标是……”。
3.critically--critical
thinking在这里已变成名词，因此前面应该用形容词critical来修饰，表示“批判性思维”。
4.^attributed--been
attribute作动词时是及物动词，通常的搭配是 to attribute sth to sth，因此这里应使用被动语态，加上been。
5.economy--economics
economy表示一个国家的“经济”，而economics才表示“经济学”，因此这里应使用economics。
6.and--while/but
and表示顺接，而这里缺少的是一个表示对比的连词，因为历史系学生和经济系学生在人数上形成很大对比，所以应改and 为while或者but。
7.consisting--comprising/constituting或者 consisting^--of
consist的意思是“包括，由……组成”，一般要与介词of连用，而comprise或者constitute则表示“组成……”，而且不需要与of连用。
8.declared--declaring
“almost 12 percent of undergraduates declared themselves history majors”和“economic and business administration majors together consisting 8.7 percent of undergraduates\"应是并列结构跟随介词with，所以这里应将declared变为declaring，与前面的分句保持形式上的一致。

other human beings. Each of us shares with the community in which we
live a store of words and meanings as well as agreeing conventions as __1__
to the way in which words should be arranged to convey a particular __2__
message: the English speaker has in his disposal a vocabulary and a __3__
set of grammatical rules which enables him to communicate his __4__
thoughts and feelings, in a variety of styles, to the other English __5__
speakers. His vocabulary, in particular, both that which he uses activetly
and that which he recognises, increases in size as he grows
old as a result of education and experience. __6__
But, whether the language store is relatively small or large, the system
remains no more than a psychological reality for tike inpidual, unless
he has a means of expressing it in terms able to be seen by another __7__
member of his linguistic community; he has to give the system a
concrete transmission form. We take it for granted two most __8__
common forms of transmission-by means of sounds produced by our
vocal organs (speech) or by visual signs (writing). And these are __9__
among most striking of human achievements. __10__

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities
to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he
is fed, looked after and loved, what he may do, It is __1__
improbable that he will ever again in his life be given
so much without having to do anything in turn. In addition, __2__
life is always presenting new things to the child—things
that have lost their interesting for older people because __3__
they are too well-known. A child finds pleasure in playing
in the rain, or in the snow.His first visit to the
seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains:
He is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks old
people do; he is continually being told not to do things, __4__
or being punished for that he has done wrong. __5__
His life is therefore not longer perfectly happy. __6__
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he
becomes free from the discipline of school and parents;
but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities.
He can not longer expect others to pay for his food, his
clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live
comfortable. If he spends most of his time playing about in __7__
the way that he used to as a child, he will suffer hungry. __8__
And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break
the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, therefore, __9__
he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health,
he can have the great happiness of seeing himself making __10__
steady progress in his job and of building up for himself
his own position in society.
答案及解析:
1.what改为whatever。whatever引导让步状语从句，相当于no matter what，意思是“无论什么”，“不管什么”，whatever在从句中作宾语。
2.turn改为return。短语in turn表示“轮流地; 挨个, 依次; 反过来”，而在这里是指孩子对父母的回报。
3.interesting改为interest。在形容词性物主代词their的后面应跟名词性成分。
4.第一个do改为 are。与前面的is相对应。
5.that改为what。that引导的是定语从句，在本句中应该使用关系代词what，相当于the thing/ things that。
6.not改为no。固定搭配的副词短语“no longer”
7.comfortable改为comfortably。修饰动词live应为副词而不是形容词。
8.suffer改为go或become或be。或把hungry改为hunger。
9.therefore改为however。此处的条件状语从句表示转折。
10.making 改为 make。
