参考答案及解析

参考答案及解析:
1. 在communicate之后加in。in表示手段方法等，在此意义是“用......交际”
2. with—to。介词to从意义分析该与introduction (to) 关联；而不是provide
3. need—needed。过去分词修饰前面的the four language skills，相当于the four language skills(which/that are) needed
4. 第一个is—are。which 在从句中坐主语，其先行词为writing and speaking
5. 删除on或把on—in。spend...in doing sth
6. than—to。习语superior to
7. hearing—heard。过去分词表示被动，相当于which/that is heard
8. 去掉they或在they后加are。根据语法规则，有些表示时间，地点，条件，方式或让步状语从句，如果谓语包含动词be，主语又和主语的主语谓语一致，那么常常可以把从句中的主语和谓语部分，特别是动词be省略掉
9. catch—come。catch up with和come up with有意义相同之处：追赶，赶上，但此处根据上下文，应为come up with作为“提供，供应”解
10. should—can。根据上下文，学生具备这种能力(can)，但不是责任或义务(should)
