答案及解析:
1. which -> where或which前加in
situation在后面从句formal language is used作状语。本句的意思是：政府报告、考试作文、法律文件和大多数商贸信函都用正是语言。
2. which -> whose
本句意思是：对这一地区新生儿死亡率进行调查，其结果令人吃惊。这里的whose results表示调查的结果。
3. which -> what
what 引导名词性从句作in spite of 的宾语，整个介词结构作状语。意思是：尽管最近为提高小学教育条件作了些事，但仍然有很多孩子无法上学。
4. when -> that
这里是it is…that…的强调句型。无论强调句子的什么成分，如时间状语、地点状语等，都只用that引出句子的其他部分，而不用when、where和which；在强调人时还可以用who (whom)。
5. How -> However
本句意思是：不管某些自然资源多么丰富，它们不会再生，终究要被用完的。这里用however引导让步状语从句。
6. which-> that
这里的that引导的是一个同位语从句。
7. what -> that或what -> /
此处的that引导的是一个宾语从句，不做任何成分，也可以省略。 what 在引导名词性从句时，在从句中作一定的成分（宾语，主语），例如：I don't agree with what you said，这里what作said的宾语，整个名词性从句 what you said作agree with的宾语。
8. not后加to
否定词not在此处起并列作用，连接两个to make．．．，to make．．．形成平行结构，to make．．．，to make．．．在句中作表语。
9. that -> which
此处引导的是非限定性定语从句，不能用that。
10. buying -> bought
并列连词and前面是一般过去时went，后面是一般过去时 visited，因此，两者之间也应该用一般过去时bought，以保持时态一致。went．．．，bought．．．和visited．．．三个并列谓语表示按时间先后顺序发生的动作。
11. that -> whether
本句的意思是：等了三天之后，那位母亲有点怀疑警察是否能够找到她失踪的儿子。
12. which -> that
同第4题。
13. that -> which
此处是“介词+关系代词”引导的限制性定语从句。这里的介词to是与从句中的comparable搭配的。本句的意思是：农业的出现是人类进步的里程碑，从那以后直到我们进入机器时代之前，一直没有任何文明可以与之相提并论。
14. granted后加that
take …for granted意为“认为…理所当然”，是固定搭配。此处的 it .是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的从句, 所以要加上that。
15.Which -> AS
根据语法规则，as充当关系代词，可构成非限制性定语从句，as指代后面的整个句子。which引导的非限制性定语从句一般不能置于句首。

本期重点：逻辑错误
1、逻辑反义词。即短文中的错误单词和上下文的逻辑关系不符，恰巧是正确答案的反义词，例如将buy说成sell，easy说成hard等；还有就是按上下文的语义，句中多用或少用了not或no。这类错误必须在透彻理解上下文语意的基础上才能发现并改正。
2. 连接词错误。指短文中前后两句话或者两段落间的连接词未能正确地体现前后文之间的逻辑关系。常见的有并列连词but, and, for, or的混淆和误用；主从连词because, as, if, although, before, after等的混淆和误用；连接性副词however, moreover, therefore等的混淆和误用； 连接性介词because of, despite, besides, instead of等的混淆和误用。
考点例析：
例1：In the 1950s, the
introduction of antibiotics (抗菌素) strengthened the
trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were allowed
to be imported to poor countries. S6._____ （2001.6）
解析： import意为“进口，输入”，export意为“出口，输出”。根据本句大意，进出口的对象为发达国家生 产的抗菌素，显然只能“出口”到贫困国家。此外，根据介词也可以判断，import常与from搭配， export常与to搭配。故应该将imported改为exported。
例2：In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the
child’s acquisition of each new skill --- the first spoken words,
the first dependent steps, and the beginning of writing or reading. ________
解析：根据上文的意思，应该是“每个家长都很渴望自己孩子能学到新的本领---第一次说话，独自走的第一步，写或读的开始”。破折号后面是举例说明skill。Dependent意为“依靠的依赖的”，既然是新的本领，那也就应该是“独自走的第一步”，故将deoendent改为independent。
例3：As income goes up, people may not want more food to eat or
more clothes to wear. Therefore they may want more and better 1.______
care from doctors, detists and hospitals. They are likely to travel
more and to want more education. Nevertheless, many more jobs 2.______
are available in these jobs.
【解析】
1. 前一句话的大意是“当人们收入增加时（物质条件得到了改善），人们不需要更多吃的和穿的”。后一句所表达的是人们希望得到更多医疗条件上的改善。经此分析，可知两句话的关系应为转折关系，故将Therefore改为But。
2. 上一句说“他们可能会去旅游和想得到更多的教育”。根据下文“越来越多这样的工作都能找到”。由此可判断这两句之间应该是因果关系，故将Nevertheless改为Therefore或Thus。
