* d+ L( `; H8 f4 y- O2 E　　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。
* ^9 J: n7 V, h　　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
* `: J% H  q3 Q　　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。
; b2 z: T2 q/ M- ~　　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。
$ M$ J6 {9 Z6 r9 ?　　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
, ?. v, k8 ]* [3 E2 K　　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.
