8、o subtle clocks which are potential perfect times. _10_ 答案 1.whichby。by the means of 指“通过方式”，如果吧means作为先行词，后面定语从句就要有by，这句话意思是“生物钟指的是生物调节其行为的方式”。2.the time to。adjust A to B 指A适应B，这句指“在没有任何提示的情况下，是自己的行为方式适应外界的时间”。 3.factors-which/ that。这是一个定语从句，修饰factors，which/that做主语不能省略。 4.clocksclocks5.to（第二个）-for。

I_8_had totally forgotten how to locate information in a library, what to write a report, _9_ or even how to speak up in class discussion. _10_ 答案： 1. 去掉back。return本身就相当于back或go back，此处back意义重复 2.

12、 for改为about。worry about是固定词组，表示“为担心”，而worry for后加人时表示“为某人担心” 3. has改为had。定语从句中时态应与主句一致4. freshly改为fresh。fresh out of school作后置定语修饰teenager。freshly只有与过去分词连用时才表示recently 5. 去掉who或将sitting改为sat 6. more改为much。修饰强调比较级better 7. classrooms改为classroom。classroom在此处是名词作定语修饰skill，不能用复数 8. mine后加had。过去分词grown不能

17、woman could get herself a _9_job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasize _10_the creative aspect of her funtion as a housewife. 答案： 1.so-because第一句话里两个分句之间的关系应该是主句为结果，从句为原因，所以so改为because。 2.as-like当as做介词使用时往往表示“作为，当作”，而这里的意思是“像”，所以应改为like，因为当like作介词用时，表示“像”。 3.tired-tiringtire

18、d形容人，表示“累了”，如果说某物使人累，应用tiring。 4.too-to这里amount应和介词to组成词组表示“达到（多少）”，考试大如：That plan will never amount to anything. 5.liberal-liberatingliberal的含义是“自由的，解放的，大方的”，含义不贴切，应换成liberating，意思是“将（某人）解放了的”。 6.Nevertheless-Similary/Likewise这里上下句的关系式并列的，平行的，不能用nevertheless引导，应换成Similarly或者Likewise。 7.to-withcompa

31、表示对比的连用词while。 3.out-/。emerge一词后面不要受到中文的影响加上out；但是可以说come out。emerge可以和介词from搭配，表示“从中浮现出来”。 4.were-are。虽然这一句从句中是过去时态，但是主句中谈的是“现在”的情况，所以应当用现在时态。 5.from-into。动词coerce要和介词into搭配。coerce somebody into something，意思是“胁迫某人做某事”。 6.the-/。school 前带定冠词时通常是特指，不带冠词通常是类指。这里说“辍学”，应当是类指，所以不能带定冠词。 7.round-through。get through
