    參考答案及解析:
    1. a → the
    此處指的是麻風(fēng)病例的數(shù)量,主語是number,而非a number of cases。
    2. of → by / about / around / nearly
    Nine percent表示cut的幅度,而非削減的賓語,所以不能改為off /out /down。
    3. complete → completely
    此詞修飾動詞end,所以要用副詞。
    4. effects → affects
    Sffect作動詞時(shí)意為“產(chǎn)生,招致(某種結(jié)果);實(shí)現(xiàn),完成”,但此處要表示“影響”,故應(yīng)改為affects。
    5. for → to
    Cause / do damage to為固定搭配。
    6. even 后加 if / though
    Even單獨(dú)使用時(shí)意為“甚至,更”,even if / though意為“即使,盡管”。根據(jù)意思的意思應(yīng)該是“盡管麻風(fēng)病病人貧窮,國際聯(lián)盟也會保證他們會得到的治療”。
    7. that → what
    本句take后面的句子應(yīng)該名詞性從句是作take的賓語,又因?yàn)樵搹木淙鄙僦髡Z,應(yīng)該要用what而不用that。
    8. depend → depending
    本句已經(jīng)有了謂語will cure,所以depend要改成現(xiàn)在分詞形式作狀語。
    9. freely → free
    Freely意為“自由地”,free意為“免費(fèi)的,空閑的”,此處指的意思是“免費(fèi)的”而非“自由地”
    10. which 后加 are或去掉which
    該定語從句的現(xiàn)行詞countries與從句中的threatened應(yīng)該是被動關(guān)系,所以要加上系動詞are?;蛘呷サ魒hich直接用threatened作countries的定語。
