【答案】

1. Have-Are

dress “某人著裝,穿衣”的用法是 somebody be dressed/get dressed.

2. Can you-they

根據(jù)上下文可以看出這里是說(shuō)在公眾面前演講你會(huì)注意你在公眾面前的形象,穿得是否得體,頭發(fā)是否整齊,比人會(huì)不會(huì)看出你正緊張得出汗等問(wèn)題。所以此處的人稱(chēng)代詞應(yīng)該是“他們(別人,公眾)”,而不是指“你自己”。

3. heard^-of/about

這里意思是說(shuō)“你聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)嗎?"

4. as-like

這里用like 表示“像……一樣”,意義上才合理。As作為介詞時(shí)意思是“作為”。

5. drew-paid

根據(jù)上下文,這里是說(shuō)你有沒(méi)有注意到其他在公眾場(chǎng)合講演的人,而不是說(shuō)你引起什么人的注意。

6. the-/; in-to

the public 是指人,“公眾,民眾”,所以可以說(shuō)speak to the public。In public 是固定用法,指“公開(kāi)的,公然”。

7. ^qualities-the

qualities后面緊跟著限定性定語(yǔ)從句,所以是特指,前面需要加定冠詞。

8. went改為goes

這里是時(shí)態(tài)保持一致的問(wèn)題。此處的前后都是用的一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),所以這里也要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。

9. has改為have

humans是可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù),所以后面的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要和主語(yǔ)保持一致。

10. ^impact—an

impact 作“影響”解時(shí),是可數(shù)名詞,通常都用單數(shù)形式,所以impact前面需要一個(gè)不定冠詞an,此處“產(chǎn)生影響”是make an impact.后面的it's a lasting one 已經(jīng)給了我們解題的線索,a lasting one 就是指 a lasting impact。
