參考答案及解析:

1 將had used 改為 used。

因?yàn)榇司涫翘摂M語氣，表示與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反，故條件從句中應(yīng)使用一般過去時(shí)。例如：

Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise. 許多人原本會成為聰明人-如果他們不自以為聰明的話。

2 將publishing改為published

report和publish時(shí)邏輯動賓關(guān)系，故應(yīng)使用publish的過去分詞短語來修飾report。例如：

Any discovery that we may make, however small, will remain acquired knowledge. 任何可能的發(fā)現(xiàn)，不管多么微不足道，都將成為知識寶庫中的一部分。

3 將theirs改為their

4 將among改為between

在兩次懷孕期間留出足夠的間隔時(shí)間，故用between。

5 將過去分詞excluded改為介詞excluding。

excluding意為“不包括…”

6 將respectably改為respectively

respectively 意為 “分別地 ”，符合句子的意思。而respectably意為 “可敬的，值得尊敬地 ”。

7將evidences改為evidence。

evidence是不可數(shù)名詞。

8將ill改為illness。

9將year改為years。

10將lesser改為less
