【答案解析】解析:句意:某研究表明人类80%的疾病与饮食相关。宾语从句主语“80 percent of all humanillnesses”的中心词“illnesses”为复数形式,根据主谓一致的原则,谓语动词应同样采取复数形式,应将is改为are。
问答题
【M4】
【正确答案】正确答案:because∧一of
【答案解析】解析:句意:不同文化的人们往往会因这些文化所特有的某种食物而染上某种特定的疾病。because“因为”为表示因果关系的连词,其后应该跟句子,但分析本句结构可知,“that is characteristic inthese cultures”为定语从句修饰先行词“the food”,故本句中心词仅仅是名词“the food”,所以应将because改为because of才符合语法。

【正确答案】正确答案:causing一caused
【答案解析】解析:句意:1945年政府研究者发现,常用于肉类颜色保鲜的硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐以及其他食物添加剂会致癌。分析句子结构可知,“nitrates and nitrites,and other food additives”为动词“realize”宾语从句的主语,而cause则为宾语从句的谓语,不可采用非谓语动词形式,结合上下文时态,应改为caused。

【M7】
【正确答案】正确答案:knowing一to know
【答案解析】解析:句意:我们很难辨别加工食物包装标签上所列出的添加剂之中哪一个有益哪一个有害。本句为it作形式主语引导的“it is(becomes)difficult(for sb.)to do sth.”结构,表示“做某事对(某人)来说是困难的”,其中真正主语应该由不定式形式引出,应改为to know。
