　　答案及解析：
2 y9 `9 ]# |, j% k* J3 {$ m　　1. 删除school之前的the
　　此处指本文主人翁在那儿上学，并非具体指上哪个学校，因此无需用定冠词
　　2. of—as或when
) a+ f4 e, P/ A# D$ O/ l　　从句法分析看，because引导一个原因状语从句。because as a boy I had cheered for the Boston Celtics basketball team，从句中也有状语as a boy（=as/when I was a boy）
　　3. decided—cast/threw
, g2 }8 |" A: @+ @. M　　cast/threw in one's lot with sb.为固定搭配，意义为“与某人祸福与共”
　　4. before—after/when
3 o) `& ^$ H' z4 ?　　从时间顺序来看下文 发生在本文主人翁身上，即遭到袭击是发生在比赛结束后
　　5. while—when
　　用when引导的状语从句与主语由逗号分开，有“突然”的含义
　　6. 在mouth之前加the
7 ?1 ^' H% y0 s; X　　定冠词the置于人体器官之前以表示身体之一部分或私人之所有。如to hang the head in shame
/ |8 x1 _! p; l　　7. nothing—anything
　　本句中已经有一个否定词doesn't，如果再用否定词nothing，双重否定则为肯定，那么与本文意义相矛盾
　　8.在has和noted之间插入been
# Y: g- P1 K4 X9 |  v9 \5 ~　　it为形式主语，真正的主语是 factory production goes up or down,depending upon the home team's win and loss.该现象是人们注意到的，故为被动语态较合理
　　9.and—or
, G# o# Y" P, Y* O　　与上文的factory production goes up or down相协调，depending upon the home team's win or loss
5 V$ J6 O8 Y( r3 L) J* S　　10.for—by
　　一般用by引导表示程度的状语
