参考答案及解析:
1.quietly -> quiet
lie这里表示“处于某种状态”,当lie表示此意时,它是系动词,后跟形容词。
2. wide -> widely
3. invent -> invention
Invent是动词,此处需要一个名词作led to的宾语。
4. essential -> essentially
5. important -> importance
Take on后面应该使用名词作宾语。
6. entire -> entirely
此处要用entire的副词形式修饰形容词different,意为“完全不同的”。
7. face -> facial
此处指“面部特征”,应该用face的形容词修饰features。
8. regularly -> regular
此处regular与fedual并列修饰system,而不是regular修饰fedual。
9. hungrily -> hungry
本题hungry指的是people所处的状态,表示“他们饿着肚子上床睡觉”。
10. possibly -> possible
此处的possible作补语,修饰international live transmission of important events。正常语序应该是make international live transmission of important events possible。这里为了保持句子平衡,将宾语后置。
