59、 9. 去掉into 10. staystaying【解析】第一处：考查固定句型。There is no doubt that.是固定句型，表示“毫无疑问”，故要把It改为There。第二处：考查主谓一致。主语是a Chinese proverb，陈述的是客观事实，谓语应该用第三人称单数形式，故把go改为goes。第三处：考查情态动词。how could表示预期强烈或责备的意思，而how can没有这种意思，故要将can改为could。第四处：考查形容词。修饰名词basis需要用形容词作定语，故要将regularly改为regular。第五处：考查动词。此处与strengthen和refres
60、h并列作谓语，且位于情态动词can之后，故要将making改为make。第六处：考查冠词。keep a balanced diet表示“保持均衡的饮食”，故要在keep后加a。第七处：考查连词。由句意可知，此处表示语意的承接而不是转折，故要将but改为and。第八处：考查强调句型。此处为强调句型，其结构为It is+被强调部分+that+其余部分，故要将where改为that。强调句去掉It is和that之后句子仍然是完整的。第九处：考查介词。Enter是及物动词，后面直接接宾语，故去掉into。第十处：考查非谓语动词。由句子结构可知，此处为动名词作主语，故要将stay改为staying。【
61、名师点睛】强调句型是英语中的一种常见句型，判断强调句型的依据是去掉It is和that（who）之后句子仍然是完整的。如本题第八处错误所在的句子it is through the mouth where diseases enter into our body.去掉it is和where后：Diseases enter into our body through the mouth.句子仍然成立，故判断此句是强调句型，强调句型的结构是：It is+被强调部分+that(who)，故要把where改为that。40Dear Sir or Madam,Im sorry to trouble you
