1.
Neither he nor I are willingto accept these unreasonable suggestions.
are应改为am。[解析] 当并列连词or，nor，neither...nor...，either...or...，not only...but also...连接两个主语时，谓语动词在数和人称上应与后一主语保持一致。句意：他和我都不愿意接受这些不合理的建议。
2.
The more we looked at the abstractpainting, more we liked it .
more we应改为the more we。[解析] “越……就越……”句型应为“the more...，the more...”，此题C前显然漏了“the”。句意：我们越看那副抽象画就越喜欢。
3.
Everything could destroy if he hadn"tcalled the firemen when the fire broke out .
could destroy应改为could have been destroyed。[解析] 根据句义判断，这是一个对过去情况进行假设的虚拟条件句，且everything做主语，与谓语destroy之间又只能构成被动关系，需用被动语态。句意：起火时如果他们没有叫消防员，一切都会被毁掉了。
4.
On seeing anold man fell off , a young man rushed up to help him.
fell off应改为fall off。 [解析] see的宾语补足语的形式可根据句子中宾语与补足语之间的逻辑主谓关系确定为无to不定式、现在分词、过去分词，表示的意义各不相同，例如：(1)taveyou seen any Austrians pass by here?你看见奥地利人从这儿经过了吗?(宾语与宾语补足语之间是主动的逻辑主谓关系，看到的是动作全过程或动作的结果，故用原形。)(2)Passing the mayor"s office, I saw people standingbefore the little bulletin．我经过镇长办公室的时候，看见许多人站在小布告牌前。(宾语与宾语补足语之间是主动的逻辑主谓关系，看到的仅是动作的一个片段，故用现在分词形式。)(3)If you watch long enough，you will see many problems settled in this way．如果你观察的时间够长的话，就会看到许多问题是通过这种方式解决的。(宾语与宾语补足语之间是被动的逻辑主谓关系，故用过去分词形式。)本题属于第(1)种情况。句意：看到老年人摔倒了，年轻人赶快跑过去帮助他。
5.
It is requested that everystudent writes a paper on sustainable development.
writes应改为write或should write。[解析] 句中谓语动词是request的被动语态形式，因此其主语从句需用虚拟式动词，即谓语动词用原形或者should+动词原形。句意：每位学生被要求写一篇有关可持续发展的论文。
6.
Venus approaches the earth moreclosely than any other planet is .
is应改为does。[解析] 本句为一个比较句型的省略句，全句应为：Venus approaches...than any other planet approaches the earth．因为比较状语从句的谓语和主句一致，因此可用do的适当形式(does)代替，并省略宾语，以免重复。句意：“相比其他任何一个行星，金星离地球更近。”
7.
John Kennedy was born with a richfamily while Abraham Lincoln came from poor family background.
was born with应改为was born in。[解析] “出生于……家庭”应为“be born in”。请注意与be born有关的其他介词短语搭配：be born of“来源于”。例如：Confidence is born of knowledge．信心来源于知识；be born to (wealth)“生来处于……情况(生来富有)”；was not born yesterday不易受骗，不傻；be born with a silver spoon in one"s mouth“生在富贵人家”。句意：“John kennedy出生在一个富裕的家庭，而Abraham Lincoln却来自于一个贫困的家庭。”
8.
Never the world has seen so many nationscooperating in such a friendly way .
Never the world has seen应改为Never has the world seen。[解析] 当never及其他一些否定词、短语或半否定词、短语以及only位于句首时，句中主语和谓语需要倒装。句意：“世界上从来没有这么多国家以如此友好的方式合作。”
9.
His lecture covers many fields, ranged from the heaven to the earth .
ranged应改为ranging。[解析] 根据语法规则，分词做状语必须依据句子的主语来选择用现在分词还是过去分词，当主语与分词表示的动作构成主动关系时用现在分词，两者构成被动关系时，则用过去分词。句意：“他的演讲覆盖很多领域，包括天文地理。”
10.
It is requested that everystudent writes a paper on sustainable development.
writes应改为(should) write。[解析] it为形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。在request，require，demand，command等表示要求、需要或命令的词后跟的从句中谓语要用(should)+动词原形的形式。句意：“要求每个学生都写一篇关于可持续发展的论文。”
