Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to thegeneral public and to sociologists that modern society haschanged people’s natural relations, loosed their responsibilities 1.______to kins and neighbors, and substituted in their place 2.______for superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. 3.______However, in recent years a growing body of research hasrevealed that the “obvious” is not true. It seems that if you area city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of yourneighbors than you if you are a resident of a smaller community. 4.______But, for the most part, this fact has a few significant 5.______consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know fewof your neighbors you will know no one else. Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties withinsmall, private social worlds.

正确答案:
1.loosed改为loosened loose当动词讲表示“释放”,loosen则表示“放松,放宽”句意是想说人们的责任范围放宽了,而不是释放了。
2.kins改为kin kin是单复数同型的名词,因此不能加s。
3.去掉for substitute A for B,是表示用A换B,for后面跟的应是被换掉的东西,而文中的“superficial relationships with passing acquaintances”不是被换的,是换上的A,因此应把for去掉。
4.if前加do do是用于比较级对前文中“you typically know…”中的动词的省略,不能少。
5.去掉a 这里是想表示否定,few表示可数名词复数的否定,a few表示有一些。
6.from改为between differ between A and B,固定搭配,文中是指between more urban people and less urban people。
7.do改为are 同84题,也是对比较级后句动词的省略,但根据前文“Small-town residents are more involved…”判断,该句的动词是be动词,因此应把do改成are。
8.√
9.likely前加more 根据下文该句是比较级,且likely的比较级应在前加more。
10.去掉and或which改为this 若用and连接句子则不能再使用定语从句,同样使用了定语从句也就不能重复使用连词and。
