答案:: u: V6 e# |$ P' c+ n
1.在part前加上a。词组have a part to play in…的意思是“有份儿”; h: v/ k$ _ u/ g( \
2.saddle改为saddled。此处为被动语态,应该把动词变为过去分词形式。
5 v E+ S! [: G3 d; K 3.把with改为at。此处介词与interest rates搭配。6 A3 Q& o: Z: n) ^) D* u8 Z
4.删除been(这里应该是把risen改为rising,答案应该错了)。rise是不及物动词,不用于被动语态。
- b) x+ l* _. @ 5.把letting改为let。let alone 意思为“更不用提”。- _8 B3 @" d) s3 T$ q1 R$ b0 o0 ]
6.把imported改为exported。下文说花生可以带来外汇收益,出口才会带来外汇,所以此处应用exported。
8 C3 {( M" V. u6 d 7.把have改为had。上文提到该国禁止本国消费花生这件事用的是过去时。
5 m [: K5 w# k3 A) b 8.把also改为so。必须把与此相关的几个句子联系在一起理解,上文说:花生出口到英国和美国去喂了牛,而牛又产出了过剩的牛奶,我们不知道怎么处理这些牛奶。在西方世界,我们的牛奶够多了,多得无法处理。本句说:这些牛奶就被制成奶粉拿到该国去喂养那些营养不良的儿童。由此可见本句与上文是因果关系,不能用also来连接。6 u+ E# Q7 p* y5 p4 b
9.insanely改为insane。此处表达“荒唐的经济关系”insane修饰的是relationship,而非economic,因此要用形容词代替。
* c; k" r5 l8 e% q 10.把in改为into。词组get in 虽然也可以表达“ 进入,陷入”,但是in为副词,后面不能跟地点,所以应该改为into |
