/ K3 S* _% ~( @　　参考答案及解析: 　　1. include -%26gt; including
4 C2 r9 c7 i) ?* E* j( Y( Q　　2. compose -%26gt; composed / comprised
　　此出的意思是“由…组成”，固定搭配有be composed / comprised of，be made up of，consist of。
% t9 Q8 `5 Z0 q& E　　3. object -%26gt; objects
　　Object是可是名词，一般说来可数名词以单数形式出现时要有不定代词或冠词修饰，而在此没有任何冠词，而且上下文对应的均使用了复数形式，所以应该把object改为复数。

　　7. of -%26gt; /
) ^! T+ \, A& u0 G$ W0 u　　表示原因时，because后跟从句，because of后跟名词性质的词或词组。此处是从句，所以把of去掉。
- W4 s: B) ?7 v% Q4 d& X　　8. essentially -%26gt; essential
　　be后面的表语不能用副词。
　　9. laugh -%26gt; laughs
7 u9 ^; v; y6 n, l+ m) |　　此处的smile和laugh是并列成分，作定语从句修饰person，又因为先行词person是单数，所以从句的谓语也要用单数。
4 E* {  M$ w# \8 Q　　10. by -%26gt; with
　　此处是固定搭配supply sb with sth
