正确答案:
1.conception改为concept conception表示“构思;想出的意念或计划”,而concept表示相对于实体的“概念”,该句意为“民主不是一个新的概念”。
2.furthermore改为nevertheless或however 上一句说的是古代雅典的民主和美国的民主在许多方面是相同的,而这一句讲的是它们之间存在着几处重要的不同,相对于前面的内容,属于转折关系,而非递进关系,故应该将furthermore改为nevertheless。
3.for改为on 就某事进行投票应该用“vote on sth.”,投票支持某人才用“vote for sb.”。
4.public前加a 作“官员”讲时是可数名词,故单数时应添加不定冠词。
5.encouraging改为encouraged
这里encouraged和前面protected以及后面的supported属于并列结构,所以要一致。
6.√
7.lik改为as like表“像……一样”时后一般接名词性成分,而as可以接介词短语。
8.and改为or或and和a之间加not 这里要表达的“既不是一个妇女,也不是一个奴隶”为否定成分并列,所以有这两种改法。
9.largest前加the 形容词最高级前应加定冠词the。
10.legal改为illegal 根据上下文,这里应用反义词表示“非法的”。
