　　答案及解析:
+ O: ^; N- O+ _' H9 ~2 Q　　1.about--with
  x( W& ^/ F; K% }　　concerned 作为形容词既可以和about搭配，也可以和with搭配，意思有所不同，前者是“为……担心”，后者是“与……有关”。文中应取后者之意。
. [! t4 D% X  D) v8 i& Q' r9 |# r6 X2 e　　2.putting--put
　　put可以有“表达”的意思，broadly put是“从广义上说”，simply put 意思是“简单地说”，这次词组中的put实际上是动词put的过去分词。同样的意思也可以用不定式词组表示，如：to put it simply， to put it bluntly。
　　3.（with）that--which
: X4 E0 X2 a% K6 n; Q- Y　　如果关系分句是由“介词+关系代词”引导的，那么这个代词只能是which 或whom。
* H8 }: K4 l- e" l6 x7 C. N　　4.how--how不用于引导关系分句。先行词the way后面的关系分句可以用in which引导，也可以省略。但是，how可以引导名词性分句，相当于the way in which。
* {- y9 P8 ?8 e5 O% [+ c  C' k4 u　　5.open--opening
　　be key to 词组中to是介词，而不是不定时标记，所以其后应当跟-ing分词，而不是动词不定式。
# Y; v  F. j, ~2 g6 M7 Y- ~　　6.beware--aware
　　beware 是动词，所以不能说become beware of。
" c( c) X: `* [　　7.the--the others指除了已经提及的以外余下的，而others仅指“一些”。
　　8.“find+somebody/something+in a particular situation”表示“发现某人/某物处于某种状态”，宾语somebody/something之后可以是形容词、分词、介词词组等。
　　9.in--at
　　work和不同的介词搭配表示不同的含义。“in work”表示“有工作”，“at work”的意思是“在起作用”。
, `" A, R1 n' i+ q: a- a( `　　10.establish--establishing
　　在这句话里understaning和establishing实际上是两个并列的分词，都是介词towards的宾语。
