    參考答案及解析:
    1. don’t -> didn’t
    would rather后面的that從句中,謂語動詞要用過去式表示虛擬。
    2. discovered前加were或去掉that
    題中that定語從句的先行詞是problems,因此謂語動詞要用被動語態(tài),表示“調(diào)查完成后所(被)發(fā)現(xiàn)的問題”?;蛘呷サ魌hat,直接用discovered作problems的定語。
    3. seem -> seemed
    4. has -> have
    此處I am referring to是修飾the law的定語從句,謂語是requires(要求)。在表示愿望(wish)、建議(suggest, advise, recommend)、請求、命令(order)等語氣的詞后面跟的從句,該從句的謂語動詞形式均為should + 動詞原形,should可以省略。本題The law I am referring to requires everyone who owns a car ( should) have accident insurance.,所以要把has改為have。
    5. established前加be
    6. send -> sent
    此處是have sth done,表示“讓..(被)做”。此處的意思是“消息(被)直接發(fā)去給司令”。
    7. won’t -> wouldn’t
    時間詞now所表述的情況與現(xiàn)在事實相反,所以主句謂語動詞應(yīng)該用“would+動詞原形”形式,表是虛擬。
    8. are -> were
    that 后面是修飾jobs的定語從句,在該從句里有時間狀語once,表示“曾經(jīng),一度”,因此在從句里面的謂語動詞要用過去時。
    9. worked前加had
    此句應(yīng)用與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣形式,故應(yīng)將從句部分的謂語動詞worked改為had worked。
    10. have前加will
    從句由by引導(dǎo),主句應(yīng)該用完成時。再根據(jù)By the time he is 25,表明Tom現(xiàn)在還沒到25歲,因此主句要用將來完成時來表示將要完成的動作。本句句意為:到他25歲時他幾乎去過世界所有地方了。
