5 H0 |3 o6 w: {8 M9 j3 F* U' t8 ]　　答案及解析:
　　1.had－have
　　这里没有语境表明这个动作或者状态发生在过去某个时间点以前，所以用过去完成体不合适。
　　2.from－in
9 }* ~8 d$ C" l3 Y0 X) S　　manifest something in something 意思是“在……方面表现出来”。例如：
　　His frustration manifested itself in his silence and inactiveness。
　　3.^altered－and
' C  n, [  A! j2 p3 B0 q& O　　这里要看出并列的几个名次词组是 extend and thickness…、permafrost thawing、coastal erosion、changes in ice sheets and ice shelves、altered distribution and abundance of species，三个斜体的and并不是连接这几个并列项的，所以必须在最后一项altered distribution and abundance of species前加上并列连词and。
. `7 [( F3 l% ]2 @, q$ L　　4.more－/
& Q8 ~4 X$ R  J  w. K3 J' Z　　later本身已经是比较级，不用再加more。
8 S7 s! w8 B& b. G  b0 H, C　　5.so－as/since
　　这里要理清主从句的因果关系，从上下文看，应该说“冰层变薄”是因，“放牧驯鹿变得困难”是果，所以应该把so 改成as或since。
; j1 d9 d5 n' x, K　　6.colder－warmer
0 r# ^- `% K: @& P6 i8 |8 c　　文章谈的是气候变暖问题。“冬季变冷”显然是与整个文章的逻辑不符。
3 i6 G: u% i3 A7 d5 \　　7.very－/
, T5 n: D/ q; S" Q7 r: `  B/ K　　very不修饰形容词或者副词的比较级。（觉得这里把very 改为much 也没问题）
　　8.projections^－that
4 d  k( b# V/ A9 _8 Z7 h  Q　　projections后面的从句是同位语从句，同位语从句的引导词that不可以省略。
　　9.^Arctic－the
　　“北极”Arctic前要加定冠词。
　　10.cause－causing
　　as well as相当于介词，其后不直接跟动词，应该是名次或动词-ing分词
