| There has been much talk in recent years about the end of the book, but | [1]________ |
| the Austen industry appears to have heard the news. All four of the | [2]________ |
| books under reviewing are published in high-quality hardback editions, with | |
| Bharat Tandon's annotated edition of Emma being the most handsome. Its | |
| large size and heavy weight, complemented by thick, wood-textured | |
| endpapers, acid-free cream-vellum paper, generous margins and woven | |
| bindings that suggest an object important in their own right, an object and a | [3]________ |
| form that will not go quiet into the good night. | [4]________ |
| Holding a book of this size and weight, one is reminded not only of the | |
| book as a thing, but also of the important role that things themselves play in | |
| books. In literary studies, this has fostered a new method of criticism under | |
| the heading of“thing theory”：Taking its cue from the anthropology, this | [5]________ |
| practice considers how objects are invested with meanings beyond their | |
| material existence. It would be a mistake, however, to read Austen's fictions | [6]________ |
| as primarily, or even predominantly, about things. In a letter, Austen | |
| famously concluded that“three or four families in a country village is the | |
| very thing to work”, and her novels focus not only on the courtship plots | [7]________ |
| that structure her narratives, but also on the manners, the judgement, the | |
| subtlety and the tact requiring to negotiate day-to-day encounters with those | [8]________ |
| whom, like Mrs. Elton in Emma, one often loathes but of whom one will | |
| likely never be free. They are novels of social evaluation, of minutely and | [9]________ |
| careful observation, both of manners and of internal mental processes, | |
| novels in which ideas and thoughts matter. Austen's works, however, are | [10]________ |
| novels in which even seemingly simple words bear multiple resonances, | |
| and in this context, Tandon's notes are superb. |
appear ∧ not
上一句中说的是近年来有很多关于这本书的结尾的讨论。 由上句中的but可知， 这里表示转折关系， 因此此处应表示“但是奥斯汀行业似乎未曾听说这个消息”。 因此应在appear后加上not， 表示否定意义。
reviewing→review
that；their→its
（本题有两个错误）
本句主语是its large size and heavy weight， complemented及其后内容是过去分词作后置定语， 因此本句缺少谓语动词。 suggest是本句的谓语动词， 故应将suggest前的that去掉。 their在这里指代的是an object， 所以应用单数形式的its。 因此应将their改为its。
quiet→quietly
应用副词来修饰动词go。 因此应将形容词quite改成其副词形式quitely。
from the
anthropology前不用定冠词the， 因此本题中应将第二个“the”去掉。
fictions→fiction
fiction（小说） 是不可数名词， 因此此处应将fictions改为fiction。
work∧on
这里的不定式是作后置定语， 修饰the very thing。 work on sth.是固定词组，表示“继续工作， 从事”。 因此此处应在work后面加上on。
requiring→required
这里需要用一个过去分词作后置定语， 修饰the subtlety and the tact。 be required to do sth.表示“被要求做某事”。 因此此处应将requiring改为required， 相当于省略了关系代词和be动词的定语从句（which are） required to negotiate...。
minutely→minute
介词of后面应接名词或动名词。 因此此处应将minutely改为minute。
however→therefore
上文讲到奥斯汀的小说关注社会评价， 仔细观察人物的内部思想过程的细节。后面讲到在她的作品中甚至一个简单的词都能引起共鸣。 由此可以推断， 上下文应该是因果关系， 而不是转折关系。 因此应将连词however改为therefore。
