参考答案

正确答案:
1.【解析】isAhighest—the。highest为形容词high的最高级形式,应在最高级前加tlle。2.【解析】in—at。本题考查介词的用法。attheturnof…意为“在…转点(时期)”。3.【解析】main—mainly。此处属于形容词和副词误用。come为动词,应该用副词修饰,main为形容词,故将main改为mainly。4.【解析】percents—percent。表达百分比时percent没有复数形式,故将percents改为percent。5.【解析】but-/。此句中已经出现了转折词Although,but不能同时出现,故将but去掉。6.【解析】include—including。include为动词原形,不能直接作伴随状语,应改为.including现在分词形式做伴随状语。7.【解析】that—what。此句中It为形式主语,that引导的主语从句中d0缺少宾语,that在句中只能起到连词的作用,不能充当宾语,而what既可以做连词又可以做动词d0的宾语,故将that改为what。8.【解析】legal—illegal。此句中that引导的句子做legislation的同位语从句:这项立法表示,雇主明知是非法移民还雇佣,应该是不合法的,此处属于语义矛盾,应将legal改为illegal。9.【解析】with—without。此句是说公司要遭受罚款,根据常理只有做了违反法律的事才会遭到罚款,即公司如果雇佣了没有合法身份的移民就会遭到罚款,故将with改为without。10.【解析】in—against。此句是说许多商业团体和民权领导人反对这种做法,因为这会对西班牙移民和最近刚移民美国的人造成歧视,discrimination意为“歧视”,后应跟介词against。
