【答案】
1.about——with.concerned 作為形容詞既可以和about搭配，也可以和with搭配，意思有所不同，前者是“為……擔心”，后者是“與……有關”。文中應取后者之意。考試大
2.putting——put,put可以有“表達”的意思，broadly put是“從廣義上說”，simply put 意思是“簡單地說”，這次詞組中的put實際上是動詞put的過去分詞。同樣的意思也可以用不定式詞組表示，如：to put it simply， to put it bluntly.
3.（with）that——which.如果關系分句是由“介詞+關系代詞”引導的，那么這個代詞只能是which 或whom.
4.how——how不用于引導關系分句。先行詞the way后面的關系分句可以用in which引導，也可以省略。但是，how可以引導名詞性分句，相當于the way in which.考試大
5.open——opening.be key to 詞組中to是介詞，而不是不定時標記，所以其后應當跟-ing分詞，而不是動詞不定式。
6.beware——aware.beware 是動詞，所以不能說become beware of.
7.the——the others指除了已經(jīng)提及的以外余下的，而others僅指“一些”。
8.“find+somebody/something+in a particular situation”表示“發(fā)現(xiàn)某人/某物處于某種狀態(tài)”，賓語somebody/something之后可以是形容詞、分詞、介詞詞組等。
9.in——at.work和不同的介詞搭配表示不同的含義?！癷n work”表示“有工作”，“at work”的意思是“在起作用”。
10.establish——establishing.在這句話里understaning和establishing實際上是兩個并列的分詞，都是介詞towards的賓語。
