　　参考答案及解析:
% J8 [  n5 X: [! O3 h　　1.在which前加in，或将which改为where
0 p4 |" K3 U) W" j　　在这里which引导限制性从句，修饰先行词the society。in which 在从句中作状语，当然也可以用关系副词where引导定语从句，并在从句中作状语，例如：
　　Money is a bottomless sea, in which honor, conscience, and truth may be drowned.
$ c& _; w3 z" E' V, u. d　　2.将as 改为than
, O( o1 {8 V' Q4 D" S( _　　3.将So改为But或者However或者Nevertheless。
5 H. J1 f5 {' y4 `# K　　因为这里上下文是转折关系。
# d( m( M& z; Z! \- m　　4.将about去掉
　　因为explain是及物动词。
2 Z+ A8 u4 b9 e1 `- g1 b* ~　　5.将you改为they
　　6.将like改为as
　　因为such as 是固定搭配。
　　7.将takes改为gives
　　give rise to表示“引起，导致”之意。
　　8.将differ改为 distinguish
　　牵着表示“有区别”。后者表示“区分，找出……的差别。
　　9.将others改为other
7 ]. y3 O) ?, I# l　　这样the other就和上文的one构成固定搭配，表示在两个中“一个……；另外一个……”
　　10.将harmful改为harmless，只有这样才可以表达上下文的对比关系。
