参考答案及解析:9 z* ` C# }8 N; O
1. first前加the
: m8 o' X. }" W& o% H2 D8 l j+ j( o解析：表示“第几”时，在序数词前面要加上定冠词the。但是如果把名词paragraph，lesson等词放在基数词前则不需加定冠词，例如lesson one等

1 {! d2 a; Z Y" u+ M# _6 f3. acceptance -%26gt; rejection& g9 C! u7 V, }8 f9 m/ F
根据上文的badly presented及下文的reject，可以发现意思是相反的。6 A u; }2 _& A* [# n. g
4. end -%26gt; ending' T! e) [ Z# S8 M
avoid后面要用V-ing形式。类似的动词还有practise、resist、delay等，后面接的动词也要用ing形式。5 ^- F0 p6 z! T& _. d
5. upon -%26gt; for
9 ~' Q6 l0 S3 o0 freason应该与for搭配。+ `2 n; t2 l6 m* @8 Y
6. will后加not
4 J9 W4 g8 x3 B, O$ ]5 L本句意思是：让别人帮你检查拼写和语法错误，因为拼写检查器不会检查出每一个错误。* P+ X6 p/ ^) M1 Z# N" x
7. listing -%26gt; list
) Z% u) ]2 N9 D' \这里的list与restrict是并列的，是祈使句，所以要用动词原形。
0 r y v0 R3 G; {( x" J: d$ B u8. up -%26gt; /
. B4 d* \3 r/ P* k1 l4 {Keep up表示“坚持、维持”；keep表示“保持”，可以在后面加上宾语及其补足语。
' @5 C# q4 M* t) r4 d" w0 d9. taking -%26gt; taken6 @2 C/ Z: Q: i. n6 Z/ W8 v
在此担当的是定语，该动词修饰前面的one (photo)，而one与该动词应该是被动关系，the photo is taken.
