- A+ z; [. _" l1. master → mastering
: t$ b% W/ }, z+ E* w. J2 V5 c' e在介词without后面需要加上名词性质的词。此处master意为“掌握”，是动词，故要使用其动名词形式。

+ ^/ m3 W8 f, T2. that → what
此处并不是定语从句，只是 “介词+宾语”的形式，只不过这里的宾语被从句代替了。这里的learned缺少了宾语，故用what来代替而形成一个名词性从句作in的宾语。What we’ve learned 意为“我们所了解到的东西”。

3. an → /
7 X3 g; V) r5 DIn effect / fact为固定搭配，表示陈述事实，意为“事实上，实际上”。

; q, F7 v0 o" ~6 e4. lazy → laziness
Lazy是形容词，此词与名词stupidity和a home environment并列，所以要用其名词形式laziness。

5. which → that
Evidnce后面是一个同位语从句，故要用引导词that。

, E# a' Y% E- p2 ^+ @3 E/ W, |6. affecting → affected
: ]2 S" j! ]  |, B本句意思是：女孩子也会受（被）这种病影响。故要使用被动语态。

固定搭配词组at the same time。
7 F, X, I/ @2 i+ I0 \5 W3 H/ m
" g# D+ Z) y( t) v* J8. year → years
根据上下文，可得知应该是表达“数年”之意，故要改为复数形式。注：单数可数名词不可单独使用。

7 x, Z3 i$ ^0 p9. relative → relatively
* K4 P# f* n1 b0 O( I此词要修饰形容词new，根据副词修饰形容词，所以将其改为relatively
0 k, g9 W# e2 @1 V. \: N' a
10. with → without
* k* v0 ?9 O* ^5 _" r# ]根据上下文的逻辑判断，该句表示“但是在信息时代，不知道怎样去有效阅读和了解日益复杂的材料，没有人能够过得下去”。
