    答案:
    1.is--are.the加上形容詞一類人的時候后面應用動詞的復數(shù)形式,如:The old receive particular respect in Chinese society.
    2.large-largely.這里large是修飾fullfilled的,所以應改為largely,表示“大部分地”,如:The fundis largely financed through government borrowing.
    3.the(age)--/.動詞詞組come of age表示“已成年”,中間不用任何冠詞,所以它一旦變?yōu)?ing形式仍然保持原樣。另外要避免將原句誤讀成The coming of ,the age of the postwar baby boom,這樣斷句意思解釋不通。
    4.has--have.有兩個原因限制了青少年進好的學校找到好的工作,這兩個原因由and連接作并列主語,所以謂語動詞應該用復數(shù)。
    5.involved^--in.involved后面少了in,表示“關于,涉及到”,如All the children were involved in the school play.
    6.^Japanese--of.當percent做名詞時,它后面應加上介詞of,如:The report states that 42 percent of the alunmi contributed to the endowment. 當percent作形容詞或者副詞時,則不加of。如:There has been a ten percent increase in the number of new students arriving at polytechnic this year.考試.大
    7.^countries--other.從上句話中可知道Japan也參與了這次普查,因此在這句話里的比較結(jié)構(gòu)中Japan應和其他10個同意參加普查的國家進行比較,所以應注明是10 other countries。
    8.mechanic--mechanical.mechanic是名詞,表示“制造工,技工”,所以這里應把它改為mechanical表示“機械的”。
    9.eyebrow--eyebrows.toraise one's eyebrow 表示“(某事)引起(某人)的驚訝或不贊同”,如:He raised his eyebrows over some of the suggestions.
    10.of--for.respect 后面通常跟for接人,表示“對(某人)的尊重”,如:respect for the old。
