参考答案及解析

参考答案及解析:
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.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.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.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.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
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.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.与上文的factory production goes up or down相协调，depending upon the home team's win or loss
10.for—by.一般用by引导表示程度的状语
