appearance of the women taking part. Their hair styles and make-up look date; their skirts look either too long or too short__2 ;

their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicrous.

The men taking part, on other hand, are clearly recognizable. __3

There is nothing about their appearance to suggest that they belong to an entire different age. This illusion is created __4

by changing fashions. Over the years, the great minority of men __5

have successfully resisted all attempts to make it change their __6

style of dress. The same cannot be said for women. Each year,a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down __7

on the law and women around the world run to obey. The __8

decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial.Sometime they decide arbitrarily, that skirts will be short and __9

waists will be height; hips are in and buttons are out. __10

答案

【答案】

1 strucked改为struck或者stricken

过去分词形式有误。strike的过去式是struck,过去分词为struck或者stricken

2 date改为dated或者outdated

3 on other hand 改为 on the other hand

4 entire改为entirely

副词修饰形容词different，并与different一起修饰age

5 minority改为majority

从上下文以及常识判断,多半男性成功地抵制了改变他们服装款式的企图,即多年来,男性大服装款式跟女性服饰相比没有多大的变化。

6 it改为them

them指代the great majority of men

7 fewer改为few

此处没有比较的意味。

8去掉on

lay down为习语，表示“规定(规则，原则，法规等)”

9 sometime改为 sometimes

10 height改为high

形容词作be 的表语。
