[答案与简析]
1. city → cities。cities前面有other修饰, 表示泛指, 应该用名词的复数形式。2. excited → exciting。excited意为\"兴奋的;激动的\";exciting意为\"使人兴奋的;激动人心的\"。 3. 去掉them。此处的动词不定式在句子中作定语,动词不定式与所修饰的名词有逻辑动宾关系,故them是多余的词。4. place → places。旅游胜地不止一处,故place应用复数。
5. lot → lots或lot前面加a。a lot of和lots of都是固定短语,意为\"许多\"。 6. low → high。根据上下文,此处应该表示\"生活费用高\"。 7. and → or。此处表示选择关系。 8. 本行无错。 9. that → it。it在句子中作形式宾语,真正的宾语是动词不定式。 10. after → before。 根据上文可知,作者是在劝告人们,在搬入大城市以前要考虑以下这些问题,即:人多、生活费用高、找工作难,等等。
