    參考答案及解析:
    1.nerve-shaking--nerve-shaken.句中用的是shake“動搖(信心,信念)”這一意義,而作為這個意思是,shake是及物動詞,例如:She was shaken by the crisis。所以作為名詞定于應(yīng)該用它的-ed形式。
    2.mountain --that.謂語動詞詞組find out 后面實際上有三個并列的賓語從句,當(dāng)賓語從句并列時,只有第一個賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞that可以省略。而人們常常把最后一個賓語從句的引導(dǎo)詞that省略掉。
    3.and--but.前文中有一個“not only”,那么后面必須要有“but(also)”與之對應(yīng),否則這個結(jié)構(gòu)便是不完整的。
    4.vicious--vice.vicious是形容詞,它對應(yīng)的名詞形式是vice。
    5.that--those.代詞和它的先行詞必須保持單復(fù)數(shù)的一致,原文中that的先行詞應(yīng)該是on-goings,那么應(yīng)該用that的復(fù)數(shù)形式those。
    6.back--to.trace back to 的意思是“追溯到”,其中副詞back可以省略,然而介詞to是不可以缺少的。
    7.breathes--breaths.breathe和breath這兩個詞容易混淆,前者是動詞,后者是名詞,這里是名詞形式,所以用breath的復(fù)數(shù)形式breaths。
    8.was--is.雖然這一句很長,它的結(jié)構(gòu)是動詞替代“so+代動詞do+somebody”最簡短反應(yīng)。代動詞do包括助動詞be、have、do等情態(tài)助動詞。在一般情形下,代動詞do的時態(tài)與前句是一致的。
    9.gorgeously--more.既然這個句子中有“than”,那么就應(yīng)該有比較級與之搭配。
    10.times--the.表示時代是,要用復(fù)數(shù)加定冠詞the times。如:He is not willing to move with thetimes.
