52、from the past. online has become popular.When comes to transportation, private cars have become a common way of traveling public transportation.The best change is all the people are living a hopeful life with .is改为was。考查时态。根据句中的时间状语Ten years ago可知，此处应用一般过去时。choice改为choices。考查名词的单复数。choice意为“选择”，为可数名
53、词，根据句中的few可知，此处应用名词的复数形式。在brand前加a。考查冠词。句中的look意为“样子”，为可数名词，此处表示“呈现一个全新的样貌”，属于泛指，故用不定冠词，且brand的发音以辅音音素开头，故用a。improve改为improved。考查语态。句子的主语The citizens living conditions与动词improve是被动关系，因此用现在完成时的被动语态。删除from后的in。考查介词。本句中的the past作介词from的宾语，in多余，故删除。Shop改为Shopping。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处作句子的主语，且助动词为has，因此用动词
54、ing形式作主语。they改为it。考查代词。when it comes to sth./to doing sth.是固定句式，表示“当涉及某事(或做某事)时”。beside改为besides。考查介词。由句意可知，此处表示除了公共交通之外，私家车已成为一种常见的交通方式。besides意为“除之外”。beside意为“在旁边”，不符合语境。which改为that。考查名词性从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知，此处引导表语从句，从句中不缺少任何成分，故用that引导。that引导表语从句时常不可省略。confident改为confidence。考查名词。该词位于介词with之后，应用名词形式。with confidence意为“满怀信心地”。
