　　34题，如果这里有have，那么后面的lead应用分词形式led（may have done），而且考虑这里的时态，并不是已经完成，而是表示可能导致的结果。所以去掉have。
% Q  c, C0 Z3 C9 e: |! S. h  S　　35题，这里的which必须去掉，如果不去的话，这个句子就缺少谓语动词。
& y0 r" |' B, V9 W" [' C　　36题，attract是及物动词，后面不需要from。
　　37题，根据前后文的意思，unless是多余的。
7 F8 l9 u! M6 s2 |6 A3 Y　　38题，“your part...”这个句子里有两个谓语动词，必须去掉it。
　　39题是对的，不知会不会有人认为这里的how可以去掉。从语法上说how去留都行，但是从后面的意思看，每个人必须根据自己的角色来做准备工作，所以how必须保留。
7 N, h4 r0 u# e; p' h2 K# C2 C) \　　41题，deal with是固定短语，in是多余的。
　　42题，从整个句子的意思和语法上看，only都是多余的。
　　43题，如果both要保留，and后面的内容就必须与questions并列，可这里and后面的内容是与前面的to anticipate并列，所以both去掉。
( ], L; j" @. X9 E2 O( x　　45题，后面的you are not familiar with是修饰matters的，as在这里很多余。
