参考答案

　　参考答案及解析:
　　1. include -> including
　　2. compose -> composed / comprised
　　此出的意思是“由…组成”，固定搭配有be composed / comprised of，be made up of，consist of。
　　3. object -> objects
　　Object是可是名词，一般说来可数名词以单数形式出现时要有不定代词或冠词修饰，而在此没有任何冠词，而且上下文对应的均使用了复数形式，所以应该把object改为复数。
　　4. or -> and
　　此处是固定搭配both…and…。
　　5. individual后加who / that
　　这句话出现了两个谓语动词，在英语中不符合语法规范。从上下文可以看出individual后面的部分是修饰individual的定语从句，缺少了引导词，所以应该加上who或that。
　　6. unfamiliar -> familiar
　　根据常识，“文化人”应该是“熟悉艺术、音乐…”的人，因此把否定改为肯定。
　　7. of -> /
　　表示原因时，because后跟从句，because of后跟名词性质的词或词组。此处是从句，所以把of去掉。
　　8. essentially -> essential
　　be后面的表语不能用副词。
　　9. laugh -> laughs
　　此处的smile和laugh是并列成分，作定语从句修饰person，又因为先行词person是单数，所以从句的谓语也要用单数。
　　10. by -> with
　　此处是固定搭配supply sb with sth
