6、0. clear 改為unclear或者前面加not.解析:1. 本題考查了大家識別代詞所指的能力,its 指代genetically modified crops(為復(fù)數(shù), 所以應(yīng)該改成their;2. such country是指前面要求暫停進(jìn)口轉(zhuǎn)基因農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的某些歐盟國家, 所以應(yīng)該改成復(fù)數(shù);3. 此處意為:因為沒有科學(xué)根據(jù)支持暫停(進(jìn)口, it 指the moratorium;base 基礎(chǔ), 基地, 根據(jù)地; basis (for 基礎(chǔ), 基本, 根據(jù); 科學(xué)根據(jù)只能說scientific basis, 有的同學(xué)把base 后面的for 改為on , 應(yīng)該是受到了base on 這個短

8、明modified crops對環(huán)境造成的后果并沒有環(huán)保主義者所聲稱的那樣嚴(yán)重。Environmental effects of modified crops (modified crops對環(huán)境造成的后果; 很多同學(xué)看到effects 以為后面一定跟on 就錯了;7. find fault with 批評,找茬;8. seem to be taking固定結(jié)構(gòu),be 不能少;9. taking the attitude that .后為同位語從句,不能用which;10. 注意since 前面的and 表示前后語意一致。因為歐洲人覺得仍然存在使用GM food的不利后果,并且他們作為消費者從

9、GM food中會如何獲得好處也不清楚,所以他們不愿意冒風(fēng)險。After months of speculation about what A woulddo with its mysterious search-engine company, A9, Websurfers finally got their first taste on Apr. 14.Yet despite of some intriguing new features not yet found 1.on leading sites such as Google and Yahoo! , the siteas it an
