　　参考答案及解析: 　　1. include -%26gt; including
; ~, w9 U1 K* \7 R9 R3 j　　2. compose -%26gt; composed / comprised
" H# L4 T3 J# N% G; v' ^& i5 h- Z　　此出的意思是“由…组成”，固定搭配有be composed / comprised of，be made up of，consist of。
0 j" f/ F. w7 R2 g" [/ U: C! \　　3. object -%26gt; objects
　　Object是可是名词，一般说来可数名词以单数形式出现时要有不定代词或冠词修饰，而在此没有任何冠词，而且上下文对应的均使用了复数形式，所以应该把object改为复数。
　　4. or -%26gt; and
　　此处是固定搭配both…and…。
6 q: k5 L# j$ y& F5 s; @. `. C　　5. individual后加who / that
1 L% b- L1 b8 {, F. m　　这句话出现了两个谓语动词，在英语中不符合语法规范。从上下文可以看出individual后面的部分是修饰individual的定语从句，缺少了引导词，所以应该加上who或that。
* y; \  m& Q1 Q　　6. unfamiliar -%26gt; familiar
　　根据常识，“文化人”应该是“熟悉艺术、音乐…”的人，因此把否定改为肯定。
: K1 x+ C; Y3 m* K　　7. of -%26gt; /
　　表示原因时，because后跟从句，because of后跟名词性质的词或词组。此处是从句，所以把of去掉。

1 S9 F2 v5 W3 G  `" u/ b7 u　　be后面的表语不能用副词。
　　9. laugh -%26gt; laughs
; A0 F9 e0 I0 O) ]. q3 A. k, z1 u　　此处的smile和laugh是并列成分，作定语从句修饰person，又因为先行词person是单数，所以从句的谓语也要用单数。
' {3 @& P+ i* p( U0 T　　10. by -%26gt; with
/ R8 V% N: \2 b. D　　此处是固定搭配supply sb with sth
