    答案:
    1.it改為one
    這里需要的代詞應理解為“這樣的一個考試”,而不是“這個考試”;另外,it的形式與上文的examination不符
    2. as后加冠詞a
    表示“一個要求”
    3. and改為or
    應組成“whether...or...”結構
    4. 去掉but
    whether開頭的句子是一個主從復合句,所以主句前不加連詞but
    5. 去掉with或將offer改為provide
    offer是及物動詞,可跟雙賓語
    6.synthesis改為synthesize
    這里的平行結構除了synthesis之外都是名詞,所以需要改為動詞形式
    7. collection改為recollection
    這里不表示“收集”,而是“有關事實和細節(jié)的會議”
    8.completely改為complete
    被修飾詞understanding是動名詞,所以應用形容詞來修飾
    9.for改為to
    “for whom”言下之意是“為了指導老師來展示....”,而“to whom”是“展示給老師看”
    10.applying改為application
    如果一個詞本身有名詞形式,盡量不要使用動名詞
