Cities can be frightened places. The majority of the population live in noisy massive tower blocks. __1__

The sense of belonging to a community tends to appear when you live thirty floors up in a skyscraper. __2__

Strange enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, __3__

nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks even say hello to each other. __4__

Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally keep the inhabitants of a small village together. __5__

People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help.

So country life has disadvantages too. For example, shopping becomes a major problem and __6__for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go for an expedition to the nearest large town. __7__

The country has the advantage of peaceful and quiet, but suffers from the is advantages of being cut off. __8__

The city has noise and population which do harm to human health. But one of their main advantages is that __9__ you are at the centre of things and that life doesn't come to an end even at ten at night. Some people have found a compromise be-tween the two: they expressed their preference for the quiet life by leaving for the city and moving to the __10__country within commuting distance of the large city.

答案:

1.把frightened改为frightening.frightened是"受到惊吓的",表明心理状态,而frightening表示"令人害怕的",表示事物性质.

2.把appear改为disappear."当你住在摩天大厦的三十层里",可以推测这里要表达的是归属感的消失,而不是产生归属感.

3.把Strange改为Strangely.Strangely enough,是固定短语,经常用作插入语,意思是"说也奇怪,最奇怪的是".

4.在say前面加上don't.此处说的是,现在住在同一层楼的人甚至见面都不打招呼.

5.把keep改为keeps.in that 引导的句子主语应该是 a sense,故谓语应为单数.本句的意思是,农村生活与这种隔绝孤立的生活不同,因为一种归属感把小村里的居民联系在一起.

6.把so 改为but/yet.上文提到了乡村生活的好处,下文是转折,要用but或者yet.

7.把for改为on."去远征"应该用go on a expedition,而go for 的意思是"去找,努力获取,拥护".

8.把peaceful改为peace.of 后面不应该用形容词,所以应该改为peace.这里需要注意的是quiet既是名词又是形容词,不要被迷惑.

9.把their改为its.此处的代词应该指代上文的 the city.

10.删除leaving后面的for,或者把for改为from.leave表示"离开某地",而leave for表示"离开某地去另外一个地方",for后面接的是目的地.本句说的是离开城市,搬到乡村,所以for是多余的.
