In the 1880s it was proved that no two people have exactly same 【D1】________
fingerprints. It was further discovered that there are four main types of fingerprints.
These four types can be divided to over a thousand smaller groups. In this way fingerprints 【D2】________
can be classified. Therefore fingerprints found at the scene of a crime can be compared with
police records. This comparison used to taking a great deal of time, but now, 【D3】________
computers make the task much more easier. 【D4】________
Fingerprints can be used for crime prevention as good as crime detection. For example, 【D5】________
someone wanting to open a door at a bank places his or her thumb onto a glass plate in 【D6】________
a special machine. The machine then reads the thumb print, and open the door if it 【D7】________
matches one on the list of prints of people permitted to enter: Fingerprints are also invaluable
for identifying unknown innocent people. They may be murder and accident victim. They 【D8】________
may be people whom have been found suffering from amnesia(健忘症). 【D9】________
A new way of identifying people is by DNA "fingerprinting". DNA is a natural
chemical substance finding in every cell of the human body.The composition of each 【D10】________
person's DNA is as unique as his or her fingerprints.
【D1】
exactly∧same→the
(exactly the same属于固定搭配, 需要定冠词the, 表示特指, 某物是“与……是一模一样的”。 )
【D2】
to→into
(divide into属于固定搭配, 意为“把……分成”, 后面接介词into而不是in。 )
【D3】
taking→take
(used to doing sth.意为“习惯于做某事”, used to do sth.则表示“曾经常做某事”,根据句意可知, 这里指比较指纹过去常花上很长的时间, 故将taking改为take符合逻辑。 )
【D4】
去掉more
(much+形容词比较级表示“更加……”, 属于固定用法, easier本身就是easy的比较级, 故不需要加more。 )
【D5】
good→well
(as well as属于固定搭配, 意为“还有; 以及”, 这里指“指纹可用于预防犯罪,也可用于犯罪侦查。 ”故将good改为well。 )
【D6】
√
【D7】
open→opens
(and后面的动词open和前面的read并列, 均做句子的谓语动词, 故将open改为第三人称单数形式。 )
【D8】
victim→victims
(根据句意“他们可能是谋杀和事故的受害者们。 ”既是他们, 则后面的受害者应用复数形式, 故将victim改为victims。 )
【D9】
whom→who
(关系代词whom引导定语从句时, 一般出现在介词如to、 from、 at、 of后面,做句子的宾语; 这里的先行词是people, 为主语, 应当用who引导。 )
【D10】
finding→found
(此处应当用过去分词found表被动, 即DNA是一种天然的化学物质, 能在每个细胞中“被找到”。 故将finding改为found。 )
