　　【答案及解析】

　　1.【答案】technological改為technology

　　【解析】本題考查語(yǔ)法規(guī)則�！凹夹g(shù)時(shí)代”應(yīng)為“the age of technology”,介詞“of”之后不能出現(xiàn)形容詞，以此應(yīng)將形容詞“technological”改為名詞“technology”。

　　2.【答案】sets改為set

　　【解析】本題考查語(yǔ)法規(guī)則。此句前半部分是以“not only”開(kāi)頭的倒裝句，時(shí)態(tài)為一般過(guò)去時(shí)，句子后半部分的時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)與之一致，故不用“set”的三人稱單數(shù)形式而用過(guò)去式“set”。

　　3.【答案】most�瞜nown改為best�瞜nown

　　【解析】本題考查固定搭配�！白钪�名的”或“最為人知的”應(yīng)為“best�瞜nown”而非“most�瞜nown”。

　　4.【答案】to改為and

　　【解析】本題考查固定搭配。“day and night”為固定表達(dá)，在句中意為“夜以繼日地工作”或“日夜地工作”。

　　5.【答案】at改為by

　　【解析】本題考查語(yǔ)法規(guī)則及語(yǔ)義理解。下一行出現(xiàn)的“he had patented”為過(guò)去完成時(shí)，故表示時(shí)間時(shí)應(yīng)作“到1931年他去世時(shí)”，因此應(yīng)將表示時(shí)間點(diǎn)的介詞“at”改為“by”。

　　6.【答案】made前加had

　　【解析】本題考查語(yǔ)法規(guī)則及語(yǔ)義理解。聯(lián)系句意可知，句子應(yīng)使用完成時(shí)而非一般過(guò)去時(shí)，所以應(yīng)在“made”前加“had”構(gòu)成過(guò)去完成時(shí)。

　　7.【答案】came改為turned

　　【解析】本題考查固定搭配。詞組“turn out”用于表示結(jié)果，文中描述愛(ài)迪生希望故交能提供幫助而結(jié)果是他們搬走了，根據(jù)句意應(yīng)把“came”改為“turned”。

　　8.【答案】slept改為sleeping

　　【解析】本題考查語(yǔ)法規(guī)則及詞匯用法。出現(xiàn)在介詞后的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)改為動(dòng)名詞形式，應(yīng)此動(dòng)詞過(guò)去式“slept”應(yīng)改為動(dòng)名詞“sleeping”。

　　9.【答案】去掉been

　　【解析】本題考查語(yǔ)義理解及語(yǔ)法規(guī)則。本句時(shí)態(tài)為一般過(guò)去時(shí)而非完成時(shí)，故不能出現(xiàn)“been”，應(yīng)去掉“been”,用“was sent”表示一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。

　　10.【答案】worked改為working

　　【解析】本題考查語(yǔ)法規(guī)則。在句中“had”意為“使”或“讓”，它并不是與后文的“work”構(gòu)成完成時(shí)。而“work”在句中不充當(dāng)謂語(yǔ)，所以應(yīng)考慮非謂語(yǔ)形式;又因“equipment”與“work”之間為主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故應(yīng)把“worked”改為“working”。
