答案及解析: 1. though -> / even though为复合连词,须引导从句,但本行中even though 后是一短语,故可确定even其中一个是多余的。若删掉even,though仍可以连接句子,还有根据后面的more可判断这里应该把though删去。
3. other -> another 从上个分句的one piece和下个分句的the next可知,这是在进行三者之间的比较,another表示三个之间的一个;而other为“其它的”,其名词形式为the other,意为“(两个之中的)另一个”。
4. That -> What one reader is interested in为定语从句修饰any (variety);通读That brings….now可知,本句尾含有一个主语从句和一个宾语从句的复合句。That引导主语从句时,在从句中不充当任何成分,也没有实际意义;what引导主语从句时,在从句中既可以作宾语也可以作主语。此处that不能作brings的主语,所以要将其改为what。
5. whose -> its 此处immediate relation to…..your locality now为名词性短语作同位语,而whose引导定语从句,故将whose改为its。
6. go -> goes 本句的主语是immediacy and the speed of production,故谓语mean保持原形;本句中第一个that引导定语从句,修饰the speed of production,从句中的动词应该在数上与之保持一致,故将go改为goea。
