答案解析

文章大意
本文讨论的是数科书跨步走向电子化。亚马逊，世界上最早开始在网上售卖纸质书的在线零售商，今年宣布经由它家售出的电于书数量首次超过了纸质书。随着iPad平板电脑和Kindle电子书的流行，教科书也开始了电子化的趋势。出版商们开始逐渐将教科书中静态的文字和图片改为更加生动的多媒体形式，企图通过更加直观的方式吸引新一代的读者，一些公司也注意到这一类似的增长模式和市场份额。
答案详解
1．than→than词汇错误。outsell为及物动词，表示“比……卖得多”，其后直接跟宾语。than一般用于形容词或副词后，故删除。
2．form→format词汇错误。form主要指的是“种类，形态”，而format更多的偏向于指“（书等的）版本、（程序等的）样式”，故把form改成format。
3．already→still词汇错误。上文说“许多书已经成功转型为电子版本”，此处说“教科书普遍以纸质形式阅读”，纸质是先出现的阅读形式，电子版本是后出现的，由此可知already应该改成still，表示教科书仍然处于纸质阶段。
4．consequently→though/however语篇错误。上文提及“教科书普遍出纸质形式阅读”，而此句意为“出版商利用平板电脑和电子书等工具，教科书电子化的趋势在不断增长”，由此可见，两句存在转折关系，而不是因果关系。
5．rent→rental词汇错误。rental为名词，表示“租赁；出借”，而rent作名词时意为“租金；租费”。此处指“租赁电子书”，rent应该改成rental。
6．experiment∧→with词汇错误。experiment with...“用……做实验”。故experiment后应加上with。
7．∧multimedia→a语法错误。multimedia在句中并不是作宾语，真正的
宾语应该是approach。这里multimedia作定语修饰approach，表示“多媒体的”，所以需要加冠词a。
8．of→to词汇错误。stepping stone表示“垫脚石；达到目的的手段”，经常和介词to连用，此姓应将of改成to。
9．which→that语法错误。本题考查的是定语从句先行词which和that的区别。当先行词是anything, everything, nothing, all，none, some等不定代诃时，或是由every，any, all，some，no等修饰时，定语从句只能用that引导。
10．required→acquired词汇错误。联系上下文可知文章没有涉及学校强制用什么样的教科书的规定，所以require(要求，规定)不符语义。
acquire表示“学到”，放在原文表示“学生秋季所学的救科书”，符合 文意，故required改成acquired。
