参考答案及解析

参考答案及解析:
1.birth^--to.give birth to ：“生下”，为固定搭配。
2.^taken—was.这是一个由and连接的并列句，两句的谓语动词并不相同。
3.transmit—transmitting.　这是一个现在分词做状语表明结果的用法。
4.frightened—frightening.frightening意思是horrible，令人可怕，而frightened是本身可怕。
5.raise—rise.be on the rise 意思是be rising 为固定词组。
6.if—whether.两者都有“是否”的意思，但是在主语从句中，只能用whether。
7.carry—carries.suggest引导的句子后面用什么语态是由suggest的含义决定的。这里是“暗示”，用直接陈述形式，当其表达建议时用原型。
8.regarded—considered/thought.regard….as…， consider…to be, think …to be.如果后面接的是to be，就不能用regard。
9.in—to.　to date相当于 so far， up to now，为固定搭配。
10.have—has.这句话的主语不是cases，而是“the number”，所以应该用单数。
