　　2.deal^－with

* b6 P6 k7 y4 R: i, u　　这里的关键是要知道debris的意思是“碎片，残骸等”，所以根据上下文这里的意思是“湖泊和湿地被一些碎片残骸所污染或弄得凌乱不堪”才符合逻辑。
6 O3 C2 J, h( u( O: ^　　5.^Abundan－the
　　此处不是泛指，而是特指，所以要有定冠词。
　　6.as－like
　　此处是拿中国举例，所以要用介词like“像……一样”。
4 b0 _% |9 N6 ?$ t9 ~; n　　7.cause－causing
　　此处定于分句是主动的意义。
　　8.variant改为various
. D. ?2 |8 _1 H+ P　　variant是“变体的，变种的”，而various表示“不同的”，符合此处意思。
　　9.get^of－rid
　　固定搭配get rid of 是“摆脱”的意思。
　　10.rise－arise
