【解析】名词性that从句不可以直接跟在介词后面作宾语，应该为“what”。 5.【答案】arouse → rose/arose/got up
【解析】arouse是及物动词，意为“叫醒、唤醒”，在此处可改为rise，arise或get up，三者都表示自己醒来。 6.【答案】like → as/being
【解析】此处意为 “作为力量的主要来源”，所以应用as或being，而不能用like，其意为“像”。
7.【答案】complicated → simple
【解析】属逻辑错误。根据上下文，此处谈论十七世纪的牧场生活，当时的劳动工具并不复杂，相反，有许多简单工具，如上文提到的斧子和铲子。 8.【答案】consisted后面加of
【解析】consist是及物动词，和of连用，意为“由…构成”。 9.【答案】to that → to which
【解析】关系代词which可放在介词之后引导定语从句，而that则不行，这是它们的主要区别之一。 10.【答案】not 3 / 137
