Jenny is working at the Commonwealth Games and has to wear chinos, a T-shirt and
a bumbag—totally undesirable for a 21-year-old.But fashion has ever been sport's 【C1】________
priority—those who take the part in athletics want their bodies to be streamlined for 【C2】________
sake of aerodynamics. So most clothes worn at the games for the staff and competitors 【C3】________
are awful.Athletes actually were the only truly modern clothes this is because
of all the technical advances in the manufacture of fabrics design to improve sporting 【C4】________
performance.Modern clothes have benefited enormous from the introduction of 【C5】________
nylon and lycra,but most of the new man-made fabrics do not lend themselves to
be turned into stylistic fashions.Sportswear needs to find a way to make athletes 【C6】________
look attractive,and aerodynamic,too.Not all the clothes modeled at the games 【C7】________
are disastrous,however. There are a few exception of good taste,as well as 【C8】________
examples of a terrible lack of judgement by those worn the clothes.But this is 【C9】________
my advice to anyone who wants to look fashion: remember that it is not what 【C10】________
you wear but the way you wear it that counts.
【C1】
ever→never
根据文章内容可知, 时尚从不是运动的重点, has ever been 表示 “ 有过 ” , 不符合语意, 故应将ever改成never, has never been 表示 “ 从未, 从来都没有 ” 。
【C2】
去掉the
take part in 表示 “ 参与, 参加 ” , 中间不加冠词。 因此, the 应去掉。
【C3】
去掉the
staff and competitors 表示 “ 员工和参赛者 ” 泛指, 前面不需要加冠词。 因此, the 应去掉。
【C4】
design→designed
本句的谓语为improve, designed to用来修饰主语all the technical advances , 两者为被动关系, 所以应使用design to的过去分词形式designed to 。
【C5】
enormous→enormously
此处 enormous 修饰动词 benefit , 故应该使用其副词形式 enormously 。
【C6】
be→being
lent itself to doing sth. 中的 to 是介词, 后面加动词的 -ing 形式。 故应将此处的 be 改为 being 。
【C7】
√
【C8】
exception→exceptions
a few 表示 “ 有些 ” , 后面加可数名词的复数形式。 所以此处的 exception 应该改为 exceptions 。
【C9】
worn→wearing
those 与其修饰词 wear 之间存在主动关系, 故应使用 wear 的动名词形式 wearing 。
【C10】
fashion→fashionable
“看起来很时尚”应该是“looks fashionable” 。 故应将名词 fashion 改为形容词 fashionable 。
