　　[答案与解析]

　　(I) 1. and→but。此处表转折关系。

　　2. for→at。be good at是固定词组,意为"擅长……"。

　　3. was→were。本句主语为she and her family,谓语动词应该用复数。

　　4. much→more。根据than ever可断定necessary应用其形容词的比较级形式,necessary为多音节形容词,其前面应该用more来修饰。

　　5. few前加a。此处用a few表肯定意义,意为"一些"。

　　6.去掉at。hit是及物动词,应去掉at。

　　7. I'd→I've。此句应用动词的现在完成时态。8.√。

　　9. can→could。根据动词was,可断定此处动词应该用一般过去时态。

　　10.去掉第二个to。tell是及物动词,应去掉to。

　　(II)

　　1. excited→exciting。excited意为"兴奋的；激动的"，exciting意为"令人兴奋的；令人激动的"。

　　2. have后加been。"书"与"写"之间是被动关系，故用动词现在完成时态的被动语态。

　　3.√。

　　4.去掉that。谓语动词see的宾语是the amazing possibilities，that应该去掉。

　　5. Other→Another。此处是又一事例，故用another，而other后面常跟复数名词，谓语动词也应用复数形式。

　　6. which→where或在which前加in。where在此引导定语从句，相当于in which。

　　7. cure前加a。cure在此处是可数名词，意为"治疗方法"，其前应加不定冠词。

　　8. future前加the。future表特指，其前应加定冠词。

　　9. that→what。what在此引导宾语从句，what在从句中作宾语。

　　10. make→makes。本句的主语是The fact,谓语动词应该用单数形式。
