答案解析

文章大意
本文讨论的是气候变化和印度经挤可持续发展之间的关系。对于像印度这样的发展中国家来说，其生态系统和社会经挤系统已面临快速城市化、工业化和经济增长的压力，而气候变化带来的压力更大，因此应对气候变化的影响既是挑战又是机遇。印度的经薪发展以自然资源为基础，所以很容易受到气候变化的影响。把气候变化问题纳入现有的发展政策，印度将可以有效地应对减缓和适应气候变化的挑战，也可以实现可持续发展。
答案详解
1．present→presents语法错误。此句的主语是动名词短语responding to...，故谓语动词应该用单数形式。
2．ineffectively→veffectively语篇错误。此句用了not only... but also...结构表示前后意思的递进，后面说到“可以实现可持续发展”，是往好的方向发展，故可以确定前面也是好的有利的方面，应该把否定意义的词ineffectrvely改为effectively，意为“印度不仅可以有救地应对减缓和适应气候变化的挑战。”
3．their→its语篇错误。此处指代的是句子前面的climate change，应该用单数，表示“气候变化的影响”。
4．relate∧→to饲汇错误。relate作及物动词意为“讲述；把……联系起来”，形式多为relate sth to…，此处不符合这种形式。relate to为固定搭配，意为“与……有关；涉及”，此处要表达的意思是“气候变化的影响进而与经济的可持续发展有关”，故应该加上to。
5．conducting→conducted语法错误。此处分词短语作后置定语修饰Research，conduct与被修饰词Reaearch之间是被动关系，故应该改为过去分词conducted，相当于定语从句which/that is conducted，意为“对气候变化的影响所做的研究”。
6．probable→likely词汇错误。probable表示“可能的”，只能用在It is probable that句型中，而likely既可用在It is likely that句型中，也可以用于be likely to do结构中，表示“可能做”。此处的意思是“发展中国家可能首当其冲”。
7．the→the语法错误。strress意为“压力”，为抽象名词，除用于特指含义外，the一般不用在抽象名词前面，此处泛指气候变化会给生态系统和社会经济体系增加额外的压力，没有特指的含义，故不用定冠词the。
8．∧are→that/which语法错误。此句前面已经有了谓语could add，此处的are只能是从句的谓语，其先行词是ecologcal and socio-economic systems，在从句中作主语，故关系代词不能省略，需补上。
9．Tho→As/Because/Since语篇错误。根据上下文语义判断，句间的逻辑关系应该是因果关系。前句说到印度的经济与自然资源紧密相联，后句则说易受气候变化的影响，前者分析了原因，故应该用表示原因的引导词来替换Though。注意，这里不能用for来表示原因．因为for引导的原因状语从句一般放在主句的后面。
10. considerately→considerably词忙错误。consideratebr意为“体贴地”，considerably意为“相当地，非常”，此句的意思是“人口日益增长的印度非常容易受到气候变化的影响。”故应该用considerably，符合上下文语义。
