　　Transport can be a major expense for many companies,especially
　　when cars have to be provided for both managerial and sale staff. __1__
　　As a result, it's important to keep a close eye at the many costs __2__
　　associated with company cars and how these different costs compare.
　　The moment a new car is driven away from the showroom,
　　its value will drop as much as 12 percent. This is what is __3__
　　known as depreciation and is the largest single cost to the
　　buyer of a new vehicle. Depreciation is the highest in the __4__
　　first two years of a vehicle's life: at the end of that period
　　a car could be worth just the third of its brand new price. __5__
　　Although the rate of depreciation decreases as time goes
　　by, it remains a major cost factor, as around 85 percent
　　of company vehicles are brought brandly new. __6__
　　However, it is important to know that some cars depreciate
　　much more than others——regardless of price. This is often __7__
　　to do with rarity and prestige value. The more common the
　　car, the more quickly, in general, it loses vaule. Exported __8__
　　models, which are restricted in number, can hold their value
　　better than those are produced domestically and widely available. __9__
　　In the same way, depreciation on a new model of a particular
　　make may be low for the first few years after their launch. __10__
　　This happened when diesel cars were first introduced. They
　　depreciated more slowly when they were rarely seen; now
　　that they are relatively common, this is no longer true.
　　答案及解析:
　　1. sale—sales
　　名词做定语时一般用单数形式，但在个别情况下也需要用复数。此处sales便是这种情况。再如 arms race 军备竞赛，savings bank储蓄银行。
　　2. at—on
　　keep an eye on为固定搭配。
　　3.drop后面加by
　　by与as much as 12 percent结合，做谓语动词drop的表示程度的状语。
　　4. 删除highest之前的the
　　5. the—a
　　序数词表示次序时要用定冠词修饰。
　　6. brandly—brand
　　“崭新地”习惯用brand new或brand-new，此处修饰brought，做状语，意义相当于“崭新地”。
　　7. more—less
　　less所在的句子是该段落的主题句，据该段落的细节可知应为less。
　　8. Exported—Imported
　　根据常识，进口车由于其进口的数量受到限制，有可能比国产车贬值得慢一些。
　　9. are之前加which/that 或删除are
　　要么使用定语从句修饰those，妖媚用形容词做those的补足语。
　　10. their—its/the
　　据上下文，its或the指代或特指a new model of a particular make
