　　答案詳解

1. 將 had used 改爲 used。

因爲此句是虛擬語氣,表示與現在事實相反,故條件從句中應使用一般過去時。例如:

Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise. 許多人原本會成爲聰明人-如果他們不自以爲聰明的話。

2. 將 publishing 改爲 published

report和publish時邏輯動賓關係,故應使用publish的過去分詞短語來修飾report。例如:

Any discovery that we may make, however small, will remain acquired knowledge. 任何可能的發現,不管多麼微不足道,都將成爲知識寶庫中的一部分。

3. 將 theirs 改爲 their

4. 將 among 改爲 between

在兩次懷孕期間留出足夠的間隔時間,故用between。

5. 將過去分詞 excluded 改爲介詞 excluding excluding意爲“不包括……”

6. 將 respectably 改爲 respectively

respectively 意爲 “分別地 ”，符合句子的意思。而respectably意爲“可敬的，值得尊敬地 ”。

7. 將 evidences 改爲 evidence。evidence是不可數名詞。

8. 將ill改爲illness

9. 將 year 改爲 years

10. 將 lesser 改爲 less

We use language every day. We live in a world of words. Hardly any moment passes with someone talking, writing or reading. Indeed, __1__languages is most essential to mankind. Our lives increasingly depend on fast and successful use of language. Strangely enough, we know __2__more about things around us than on ourselves. For example, language __3__is species specific, that is, it is language that differs human from __4__animals. However, we do not know yet how exactly we inquire language __5__and how it is possible for us to perceive through language; nor we __6__understand precisely the combinations between language and thought, __7__language and logic, or language and culture; still less, how and when language started. One reason for this inadequate knowledge of language is that we, like language users, take too many things for granted. __8__Language comes to every normal person so naturally that a few __9__

of us stop to question what language is, much less do we feel the necessity to study it. Language is far more complex than most people have probably imagined and the necessity to study it is far greater than some people may have assured. Linguistic is a branch of science which __10__takes language as its object of investigation.

　　參考答案及解析:

1. with 改爲 without。”hardy any moment passes without someone…” , 兩個否定: without 和hardly，意思是“每一時刻有人……”。

2. fast 前面加the因爲fast and successful use 這個詞組後邊有一個前置詞短語 of language 修飾use，所以被修飾的詞前面加定冠詞。

3. than on ourselves 改爲than things on ourselves。在這裏比較的是兩件事：things around us and things on ourselves(我們周圍的事物和我們自身的`東西)。第二個things不能省略，否則引起誤解。

4. differs 改爲distinguishes。語言區分人與動物，differ是不及物動詞，後面不能帶賓語，只能用介詞，如：Man differs from animals in that man possesses language。

5. inquire改爲acquire“習得語言”應該是acquire language，名詞短語是language acquisition。 Inquire 是“詢問”的意思。

6. we前面加上 do 副詞nor放在句首表示強調，應用倒裝句，一般現在時強調句是在主語前面加助動詞 do。

7. combination改爲relationships.語言和思維的關係，不是結合;語言和思維的關係是當代語言學研究的重要領域。

8. like 改爲as。根據上下文，要表達的意思是“作爲語言的使用者”，不是“像語言的使用者”。

9. a 去掉 這裏是否定的意思：“我們沒有多少人……”而不是“我們一些人.….”。

10. assured 改爲 assumed. 這句的後半部分意思是“研究語言的必要性比我們想象的要大得多”。Assure譯爲“確保”;assume譯爲“假設”或者“想象”的意思。

Ancient man attempted to change the weather by using magic. While experience taught him this was impossible, __1__ he tried to forecast weather conditions. Even earlier in __2__ 1000 e were weather seers in Babylon----and priests clever enough to denounce as frauds those predicted __3__ the weather a year in the advance. Some forecasters used __4__ methods that seemed to take no connection with the actual __5__ factors controlled the weather. Chickens and other animals __6__ were sacrificed and their intestines poked to find signs indicating rain and drought. Somewhat more scientific predictions were __7__ based on vegetation:"Onion’s skin very thin ,mild weather coming in. Onion’s skin thick and tough, coming weather is cold and rough." Insects and animals were also __8__ favorite weather clues: "Before the glowworm lights his __9__ lamp , then the air is always damp ." "If spiders their forsake cobwebs, the weather will for certain break ." "If frogs remained in pools , the weather will be fine . If they were seen on rocks, __10__ rain and cold were due." It’s difficult to say whether this rhyme should be taken seriously : " Hark , I hear the asses bray . Me thinks we’__ll__ have some rain today ."
