    【答案】
    1. 將had used 改為 used.
    因為此句是虛擬語氣,表示與現(xiàn)在事實相反,故條件從句中應(yīng)使用一般過去時。例如:
    Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise. 許多人原本會成為聰明人-如果他們不自以為聰明的話。
    2. 將publishing改為published
    report和publish時邏輯動賓關(guān)系,故應(yīng)使用publish的過去分詞短語來修飾report.例如:
    Any discovery that we may make, however small, will remain acquired knowledge. 任何可能的發(fā)現(xiàn),不管多么微不足道,都將成為知識寶庫中的一部分。
    3. 將theirs改為their
    4. 將among改為between
    在兩次懷孕期間留出足夠的間隔時間,故用between.
    5 將過去分詞excluded改為介詞excluding.
    excluding意為“不包括…”
    6. 將respectably改為respectively
    respectively 意為 “分別地 ”,符合句子的意思。而respectably意為 “可敬的,值得尊敬地 ”。
    7. 將evidences改為evidence.
    evidence是不可數(shù)名詞。
    8. 將ill改為illness.
    9. 將year改為years.
    10. 將lesser改為less
