参考答案及解析：

　　巩固与拓展

　　1.experiences -> experience

　　当experience为可数名词时，意思是“经历”，当为不可数名词时，意思为“经验”。根据句子的意思，应该是“教学经验”。

　　2.woman -> women

　　由man、woman、lord构成的复合名词应前后两个词都变为复数形式。

　　3.phenomena -> phenomenon 或this -> these

　　phenomena是phenomenon 的复数形式。前面有this修饰，应该用单数。

　　4.voice -> noise

　　voice意思是“(人的)声音”，而noise指的是噪声。

　　5.object -> objects

　　综合练习

　　1.smoke -> smoking

　　smoke作名词时意为“烟雾”，作动词时意为“吸烟”。此处指吸烟和肺部疾病的关系

　　故使用smoking。

　　2.and -> / 或and -> then

　　and是并列连词，连接两个对称的分句。但此处前面是条件状语从句，不对称，故应该去掉and或将and改为 then，使后面变成主句

　　3.with -> of

　　accuse sb of sth 意为“为….而控告或谴责某人”，不能使用介词with

　　4.a -> /

　　此处显然不是“在一家好公司”( in a good company)的意思，而是说“有人和你作伴”(in good company)。此处的company意为“陪伴”，抽象名词，前面不用冠祠。

　　5.not -> /

　　逻辑错误

　　6.that -> why

　　此处的意思是要找到“为什么官方对医学发现应冷淡”。

　　7.simple -> simply

　　这里的句意是“答案仅仅是钱”，故使用副词simply。simple的意思是“简单”。

　　8.lonely -> alone

　　lonely意为“孤独”的，alone意为“单独，一个”，此处意为“单税收一项”，故用alone

　　9.collect -> collects

　　本句的主语是the government of Britain ，是单数，所以谓语collect也要用单数。

　　10.harmful前加be

　　本句的conceivably 是插入语，如果不看它的话，就很容易看出这个句子缺少了系动词be
