答案

【答案】

1. learn改为learning

in addition to 中的to是介词，后面应跟名词或动名词

2. known改为learned

与上文中的动词learning相呼应

3. are改为were

因为是以前发生的事情，所以应当使用过去时

4. as改为like

as是连词引导从句，like才是介词，表示“像……一样”

5. absorb改为absorbing

当表示“停下做某事时”应该使用stop doing sth

6. a改为an　

7. predictable改为unpredictable

根据上下文的意思，作者当时认为考试非常神秘，并且问题也很难，那么考试题自然是不可预测的了

8. teachers后加about

表示“关于某事询问某人”

9. like改为likely

根据题意此处应理解为“很可能”，而like不能用于此处

10. many改为much

因为下文被修饰的fear和mystery均为不可数名词
