Answer 1

【答案】①up→on②mean→means③going→go④was→were⑤and→but⑥life前加a⑦much→many⑧kept→keeps⑨that→where⑩were去掉

【解析】

（1）up→on 考查固定用法。live on继续生活，以……为主食,靠……生活；live up快乐地过日子。故把up改为on。

（2）mean→means考查固定词组。句意：科学家相信这些移居者通过大陆桥到达每周。by means of通过。故把mean改为means。

（3）going→go考查固定用法。此处表示目的，用to do表示。故把going改为go。

（4）was→were考查主谓一致。the majority大多数，应该用复数人称。故把was改为were。

（5）and→but考查连词。句意：战争之后，一些人回家了，但是大多数人留在加利福尼亚自己谋生尽管很困难。根据句意可知，前后文为转折关系，应该用but。故把and改为but。

（6）life前加a 考查固定词组。make a life谋生。故life前加a。

（7）much→many考查固定用法。immigrant是可数名词，much不能修饰可数名词；a great many表示“许多，很多”，后直接加可数名词，故把much改为many。

（8）kept→keeps考查时态。根据today可知，应该用一般现在时，主语是which。故把kept改为keeps。

（9）that→where考查定语从句。此处的先行词是Angel Island，关系词在句中作地点状语，故应该使用地点连接词。故把that改为where。

（10）were去掉 考查语态。此处是主动申请，不是被动。故把were去掉。
