參考答案及解析:

1.在which前加in，或?qū)hich改為where

在這里which引導(dǎo)限制性從句，修飾先行詞the society。in which 在從句中作狀語，當(dāng)然也可以用關(guān)系副詞where引導(dǎo)定語從句，并在從句中作狀語，例如：

Money is a bottomless sea, in which honor, conscience, and truth may be drowned.

2.將as 改為than

3.將So改為But或者However或者Nevertheless。

因?yàn)檫@里上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

4.將about去掉

因?yàn)閑xplain是及物動(dòng)詞。

5.將you改為they

6.將like改為as

因?yàn)閟uch as 是固定搭配。

7.將takes改為gives

give rise to表示“引起，導(dǎo)致”之意。

8.將differ改為 distinguish

牽著表示“有區(qū)別”。后者表示“區(qū)分，找出……的差別。

9.將others改為other

這樣the other就和上文的one構(gòu)成固定搭配，表示在兩個(gè)中“一個(gè)……;另外一個(gè)……”

10.將harmful改為harmless，只有這樣才可以表達(dá)上下文的對比關(guān)系。
