8、ving baggages behind, and provide their tickets all the time. People are usually requested by the airline to arrive early. There is no such thing in trains, you just find 40 out the platform and walk straight into it.（分数：25.00）解析：laterlatter解析 latter 指两者中“较后的”，later 的意思是“(在时间上)后来的”，不一定是两者之间的比较。指“一个世

9、纪的后半叶”应该用 latter更恰当。解析：aircraftsaircraft解析 aircraft 是一个单复数同形的名词。英语中 craft和 craft的合成词都是单复数同形的，如 hovercraft，spacecraft 等。解析：withat解析 a maximum of 186mph or 300km/h 是一个表示速度的名词词组，我们通常用 at而不是 with表示速度。解析：hashave解析 此题有一定难度。解题的关键同第二题，即理解 aircraft是一个可数名词，而且是一个单复数同形的名词。所以 aircraft这个词形本身并不能告诉我们这是一个复数概念还是一个单数概

10、念，我们要通过上下文来判断。那么此句中的 aircraft到底是复数还是单数呢?我们发现一个可数名词单数不可能以零冠词修饰，一定要有定冠词或不定冠词修饰。此处实际上是零冠词修饰复数名词aircraft表类指，所以动词必须用复数形式。解析：takeup解析 这句话的意思是“它们要占用很大的空间”，但是，在英文中没有 take room这样的搭配。实际上应该用 take的动词词组 take up和 room搭配。解析：tripjourney解析 此题的错误源于对 trip的误用。trip 没有“旅程”的意思，而是 a distance to be traveled or the time requ

11、ired for a trip的意思，应该用 journey表达。解析：Evenif解析 首先，even 并不是连接性副词，也不是连词，所以 even是不能起到连接两个分句的作用的；从逻辑关系上来判断，第一个分句是一个让步假设，所以应该把 even改成 even if。解析：consideratelyconsiderably解析 此处辨析同根词 considerately和considerably。considerately 的意思是“体贴地、周到地”；considerably 的意思是“相当大地”。此处应该用 considerably。解析：baggagesbaggage解析 baggage 是不可数名词，另外，它的同义词 luggage也是不可数名词，所以不能说 luggages或 a baggage。解析：intoonto解析 此处代词 it指代的是 the platform，那么如果说 walk straight into the platform就不合理了。和 platform搭配的应该是 onto。
