答案解析

文章大意
本文讨论的是“支持年轻人”的计划。在“对年轻人的正面引导”这一计划中，青少年和年轻人被放在核心位置，我们可以期待年轻对改善桂区服务承担起责任。政府也积极倡导这一观点：年轻人有能力对社区服务质量进行评估。“青年监督员”这一计划就是培训一些贫困社区的贫穷少年来监督井汇报社区服务工作，到目前为止，该计划已改变了1400名年轻人的生活并改善了600多个社区的服务。无论从法律的角度来说，还是从商业的角度来说，年轻人都有权参与到社区评估的工作中来，遘有利于培养他们的自尊，提高他们分析、沟通厦其他一些重要的工作能力。
答案详解
1．∧teenagers→that语法错误。此处teenagers... local communities用来说明expectation的内容，应该是同位语从句．而同位语从句的引导词that是不能省略的。
2．accessing→assessing词汇错误。此题考查形近词的区分。access意为“接近，使用”，assess意为“评估，评定”，而此处要表达的意思是“年轻人有能力对社区服务进行评估”，所以应该用assess。
3.government-funding→government-funded语法错误。此题government-funding是分词作定语，而fund（资助）与其所修饰的词scheme之间是被动关系，所以应该用过去分词作定语，意为“由政府资助的”相当于scheme that was funded by government。
4．train→trains语法错误。train的主语which代替的是先行词Young Inspectors，本文中的Young Inspectors指的是一次活动，是一个单数概念的词组，所以谓语动词也应该用单数。
5．scheme∧→has语法错误。本句中表示时间的状语so far意为“到目前为止”，通常和现在完成时态连用，故加上has。
6．illegal→legal语篇错误。从上下文看，通过公共服务来听取用户的意见应该是一项合法的要求，而不是非法的要求。否则就不会有“青年监督员”这一计划的出台了。
7．many→much词汇错误。此处many修饰12bn而钱是不可散名词，故将many改为much。
8．a→a词汇错误。make_ sense为固定词组，意为“讲得通，有意义”，此处表明“具有商业意义”，故删掉不定冠词a。
9．give→giving词汇错误。approach to...为固定搭配，意为“……的方法（途径）”，to为介词，其后应接名词或动名词。
10. what→how语法错误。在what引导的从句中，what既不是作主语，也不能直接作take shape（形成）的宾语，放在速里句子从语法和意义上都解释不通。此处应改为how，句子意为“我们正热切关注这些政策将如何形成”。
