% R- t1 Z  E/ Z" B  {　　答案及解析:
4 h& M; v/ C* w5 q: B" d1 E　　1.nerve-shaking--nerve-shaken
5 J2 x& E0 U+ k. c) F( n　　句中用的是shake“动摇（信心，信念）”这一意义，而作为这个意思是，shake是及物动词，例如：She was shaken by the crisis。所以作为名词定于应该用它的-ed形式。
　　2.^mountain --that
　　谓语动词词组find out 后面实际上有三个并列的宾语从句，当宾语从句并列时，只有第一个宾语从句的引导词that可以省略。而人们常常把最后一个宾语从句的引导词that省略掉。
　　3.and--but
　　前文中有一个“not only”，那么后面必须要有“but（also）”与之对应，否则这个结构便是不完整的。
2 R! M" R) m$ ?0 _3 Q　　4.vicious--vice
　　vicious是形容词，它对应的名词形式是vice。
1 |3 A: L5 g7 K　　5.that--those
　　代词和它的先行词必须保持单复数的一致，原文中that的先行词应该是on-goings，那么应该用that的复数形式those。
: u! z1 z2 ^! v) G) k; t' V　　6.back^--to
; f2 T/ J; T- T* v1 z; r! j　　trace back to 的意思是“追溯到”，其中副词back可以省略，然而介词to是不可以缺少的。
  i1 o; q* [; s  O: T　　7.breathes--breaths
6 ?: o3 N; j# ~6 l0 y" F　　breathe和breath这两个词容易混淆，前者是动词，后者是名词，这里是名词形式，所以用breath的复数形式breaths。
　　8.was--is
* X) S+ r9 q% n8 G  R, a- B　　虽然这一句很长，它的结构是动词替代“so+代动词do+somebody”最简短反应。代动词do包括助动词be、have、do等情态助动词。在一般情形下，代动词do的时态与前句是一致的。
% G: j( i9 x- J# Q9 t2 e% J: ~' e3 ]8 i　　9.^gorgeously--more
　　既然这个句子中有“than”，那么就应该有比较级与之搭配。
( a5 w( q/ b$ G5 A　　10.^times--the
/ a$ V, H& h' d- P$ E6 j　　表示时代是，要用复数加定冠词the times。如：
2 O; P6 D, ?+ z/ V' f9 i　　He is not willing to move with the times.
