參考答案及解析:
1、much—more much后加more 句法錯(cuò)誤，后半部分出現(xiàn)了than，前半部分用比較級(jí)
2、on---beyond 詞匯錯(cuò)誤，“地球以外的生命”不因該用on。
3、existing—existence 此行混淆，“生命的存在”應(yīng)用existence。
4、a---the
5、which去掉或which后加are，句法錯(cuò)誤。
6、is---was 句法錯(cuò)誤，時(shí)態(tài)錯(cuò)誤。雖然主句的時(shí)態(tài)是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，但是從句中有時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)once，所以用過(guò)去時(shí)。
7、of-----to 詞匯錯(cuò)誤，probe與to，into搭配。
8、reveal---reveals 主謂不一致。
9、origins-----originate 詞性混淆。Origin是名詞意思是“起源，由來(lái)”，動(dòng)詞形式為originate意思是“引起，起源”
10、comparative---comparable詞匯錯(cuò)誤。句意為：谷地網(wǎng)絡(luò)呈現(xiàn)變種度量特征，包括與陸地流域盆地相似的網(wǎng)狀密度。應(yīng)用可比較的comparable。
