参考答案及解析

参考答案及解析:
1.by改为 to/with
词组 in contrast to/ with 表示“与……相比”,不能用其他介词。
2. need改为take
虽然need的汉语意思是“需要”,但英语中It takes 往往作为一个固定搭配,表示“做某事需要某物或者某种品质”。
3.in改为with
be involved in 表示“介入,参与”,后面一般跟事。
而 be involved with 则表示“和……有关系,有关联”,后面一般跟人。
如: He was involved in a car accident.
I never wanted to get emotionally involved with him.
4.independence改为dependence。
5.which改为that
句子的主干是 it is…that…表示强调。
6.giving改为given
given 一词后面接名词词组可表示“考虑到,鉴于…”。
7.beautiful 后面加that
此句同样也是一个强调句型,后面须跟that引导的从句。
8.assess改为evaluate
assess往往指对某物在金钱上的价值进行权威的评估。
如: We should assess an apartment on the amount for which it is likely to be rented.
本句话指每一个平常的女性对自己身体的每一部分进行评判,评价,应该用evaluate,因为该词表示对事物的本质或价值进行判断,如:
Teachers evaluate a student’s thesis for content and organization.
9.by改为in
by turns 表示“交替地,轮番地 ”。 in turn 表示一系列动作按照一定顺序发生,或者某人先后做某事。根据题意,这里要用in turn。
10. wanted改为wanting
to find something or somebody wanting 表示“(某物或某人)缺乏应有的素质,不够格”。
wanted往往指“被通缉”或者“被爱,被照顾的”。
