Answer 1

答案：
解析：

1．America－－Americans　　Amrican是可數(shù)名詞，此處應(yīng)用其復(fù)數(shù)形式。 　　2．were－－was　　half the USA作為一個(gè)整體，動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)形式。 　　3．hay－－had　　時(shí)間狀語是by 1850，用過去完成時(shí)。 　　4．a lot前加with disappear表示“消失”是不及物動(dòng)詞，后接with表示“帶著”。本句意思是“到1850年，幾乎三分之一的森林和許多農(nóng)田消失了”。 　　5．been－－being　　這里是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，應(yīng)用“be being＋過去分詞”形式。 　　6．去掉the nature為不可數(shù)名詞，表泛指不用冠詞。 　　7．millions后加of millions of表示“數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的”是一短語，后接名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。 　　8．it－－which　　此處關(guān)系代詞which既引導(dǎo)一個(gè)非限制性定語從句，又在從句中作主語。該非限制性定語從句修飾先行詞Great Green Wall。 　　9．moved－moving與blowing并列。 　　10．√
