71.progress表“進(jìn)步”時(shí)，是不可數(shù)名詞，故應(yīng)去掉es.

72.fillsthwithsth表“用…將某物裝滿”，是固定用法。故應(yīng)在rooms后加上

with.

73.根據(jù)文章此處應(yīng)為噪音，故應(yīng)將voice改成noise.

74.factory與their不對(duì)應(yīng)，故應(yīng)將其改成its.

75.make,let,have等動(dòng)詞只能跟不帶to的不定式，作賓語補(bǔ)足語。故應(yīng)將

ringing改成ring.

76.根據(jù)全文，此處不應(yīng)說“因他們的吵鬧而聞名”，即把by換成for.

77.去掉work前面的定冠詞the,因?yàn)閣ork此處是泛指。

78.修飾過去分詞應(yīng)該用副詞，而不是形容詞，故careful應(yīng)為carefully.

79.本句中被分詞修飾的jet是動(dòng)作pass的發(fā)出者，也就是說jet與pass是主動(dòng)

的關(guān)系，所以pass后應(yīng)加上ing。本句中的從句是一個(gè)讓步狀語從句。而if卻是

"如果"之意，所以最好將其換成though或although.
