题目解析

《Get better at keyboarding》，keyboarding是键盘输入的意思。文章是在讲怎么提高键盘输入的效率。

34题，the vast majority of people，一大部分人，some插进来是多余的，意思重复
35题，正确的
36题，一分钟十二个字，正确的表述是twelve words a minute，介词by是多余的
37题，分词作伴随状语，直接用enabing，if是多余的，而且这里也没有如果的意思
38题，正确的
39题，be responsible for固定搭配，如果要用given，后面得用responsibility。去掉given
40题，正确的
41题，consider how much more you could do in a day，考虑你一天可以多干多少事。How far是形容有多远，在这里意思不对，用法也不对。
42题，create a document，创造一个文档，整个句子的意思是创造一个文档的速度比你自己写还要快。没有特殊指代某一个文档的意思，去掉such。
43题，more creative，更有创造性了，more than是不仅仅是的意思，后面一般接名词而不是形容词，所以去掉than。
44题，save在这里表示节省成本的意思，及物动词，不用up
45题，either一般是用在句末，而且这里没有表示“也。。。”的意思，有then就够了。所以去掉either。
