30、g occurred a lot of time. It brought much inconvenience to our daily life or did great harm to our health. Many traffic accidents had happened just because of the heavy smog weather. In addition, quite a lot of flights had to put off and a great number of people stayed at home to keep them away from
31、 the harmful air. Some people suffered of bad coughs, sore throats and other serious diseases cause by the smog. I think whomever lives on the earth should try to play the part in the environmental protection. I support the idea that we can try to drive more and buy environmentally friendly products
32、 to improve the air quality.答案：1第一句：timetimes考查名词。time表示“次数”时是可数名词，再结合上文的“a lot of”可知，此处应用其复数形式。故将time改为times。2第二句：orand考查连词。上下文之间是并列关系而非选择关系，故用and。句意：它给我们的日常生活带来了很多不便，对我们的健康造成了很大的危害。故将or改为and。3第三句：去掉had考查动词的时态。此处在讲述去年冬天发生的事情，不表示“过去的过去”，故用一般过去时。故去掉had。4第四句：put前加be考查动词的语态。put off是及物动词短语，它与主语flights之间
33、是被动关系，故用被动语态。句意：此外，相当多的航班不得不推迟。故在put前加be。5第四句：themthemselves考查代词。keep这一动作的发出者和承受者是一致的，故此处用反身代词themselves作宾语。故将them改为themselves。6第五句：offrom考查介词。suffer from(因疾病、痛苦、悲伤等)受苦，受难，受折磨。故将of改为from。7第五句：causecaused考查非谓语动词。根据后面的by可知此处表示被动，故应使用过去分词作定语，修饰diseases。故将cause改为caused。8第六句：whomeverwhoever考查主语从句的连接词。I think后跟省略了引导词that的宾语从句，该宾语从句中又有一个主语从句，主语从句的引导词在从句中作主语，且表示“无论是谁”，故用whoever。注意whomever不能在从句中作主语。句意：我认为无论谁生活在地球上都应该努力在环境保护中发挥作用。故将whomever改为whoever。9第六句：part前的thea考查冠词。play a part in . 表示“在中起作用”，为固定搭配。故将the改为a。10第七句：moreless考查副词的比较级。根据语境可知，改善空气质量肯定是要少开(私家)车，而不是多开，应使用less。故将more改为less。
