参考答案及解析:

1. fact前加the

2. time -> times
固定用法in modern times“在现代”，times是“时代、时期’”的意思。

3. year -> years

4.this -> it
这句是形式主语，只能用it。

5. their -> its

6. the -> / 或at -> during

7. this -> these
此处的代词指代前面的phases，所以改成these。

8. very前加a
Commodity是可数名词单数，故在前面要加不定冠词a。

9. these -> those
这里的those相当于those (who) we are close to or love or admire.

10. progresses -> progress
progress是不可数名词。

11. the work -> work
work此处是泛指。
