2012参考答案：
1．going∧since－加入on题解：
goon的意思是“继续”，符合句子表达的含义“争论一直在继续”。
2．certain－改为acertain题解：
此处要表达的意思是“很多作家喜欢一种自由的翻译方法”，第一次出现这种方法应该加上不定冠词。
3．rather－改为not题解：
根据原句的句子结构，rather应改为not。
4．is－改为was题解：
此句应该为过去时。
5．in－改为at题解：
attheturnof19thcentury“十九世纪之初”，是固定搭配。
6．the－删去第二个the题解：
这里并没有特指某种语言，所以不用定冠词。
7．view∧translation－加入that题解：
在view和translation之间加上that，可将“translationwasimpossible”看成view的同位语。
8．was－删去was题解：
条件状语从句常可以省略主语和系动词。
9．culminated∧the－加入in题解：
culminatein是“以......告终”的意思，符合上下文含义。
10.and－改为but题解：
根据原句意思“现在背景变化了，但是基本问题依然存在”，两句话之间应该是转折关系。

2011参考答案：
1.在grow后加up,考固定短语
2.改conscience为consciousness 考词语区别，conscience翻译为“良心，道德心”,consciousness翻译为“意识”
3.改soon为sooner，soonerorlater是固定短语
4.在child前加middle, 考上下文理解。
作者是三个孩子句中的那位
5.改disagreeing为disagreeable，disagreeing只能作动名词，不能作形容词。
disagreeablemannerisms令人讨厌的习惯
6.改imaginative为imaginary,考词语区别 imaginative翻译为“有想象力的”，imaginary翻译为“想象的，虚构的”
7.改literal为literary,考词义区别，literal翻译为“字面的”，literary翻译为“文学方面的”
8.去掉face后的in，face接宾语时是及物动词。
考动词的基本用法。
9.在world后加in或者改which为where,考定语从句
10.改Therefore为However或者Nevertheless,考语境。

1.be后插入as; as…as引导的比较级

6.come改为bring; （sth.）cometolight,bringsth.tolight（bringtolightthedefectofEnglish=bringthedefectofEnglishtolight揭示英语的缺陷）
7.similar改为different; 根据语境应该用different
