1.
答案：D
解析：
A.and前后不平行，错误，前面是定语从句后面是完整句子。it指代不明，错误。
B.which就近修饰world，错误（？）。weighing修饰了主句的company，逻辑语义被改变，错误。
C.which就近修饰world，错误（？）。it指代不明，错误。and前后不平行，错误，前面是定语从句后面是完整句子。
D.it claims作插入语。
E.weighing修饰了主句的company，逻辑语义被改变，错误。

2.
答案：D
解析：
A.unlike的比较对象不对等，错误。
B.unlike的比较对象不对等，错误。“so...as”结构只能用于否定句，“as...as”能用于肯定句和否定句。
C.“with males，their...”的表达wordy不简洁。“so...as”结构只能用于否定句，“as...as”能用于肯定句和否定句。
E.unlike的比较对象不对等，错误。which就近修饰males，逻辑语义错误，males不能cover长度或范围，which应该修饰range。

3.
答案：D
解析：
A.because使用错误，前后二者之间并没有因果关系，不应该使用because。instead of后面不应该省略at，否则会造成是替换attach to...后面内容的歧义（？）。
B.because of being...表达不简洁，wordy。because of使用错误，前后二者之间并没有因果关系，不应该使用because of。
C.attach的名词形式不如动词形式简洁，不优选。being attached at表达不简洁，wordy。
D.这里是"...differ from...in that..."结构。这里的in that不表因为。
E.their being...表达不简洁。instead of后面不应该省略at，否则会造成是替换attach to...后面内容的歧义（？）。

4.
答案：C
解析：
A."both...and..."前后结构不平行，错误。
B.and also语意重复，不优选。dependent的含义与depend有所不同（？）。
D.being dependant表达不简洁。dependent的含义与depend有所不同（？）。
E.both与as well as搭配，错误。dependent的含义与depend有所不同（？）。

5.
答案：C
解析：
A.which用于修饰前面整句话，错误。无需使用过去完成时时态表达过去的过去，因为本句中有具体年份，二者的时间关系已经明确。
B.resulting from不用作状语修饰，通常只用于形容词性修饰语，所以前面通常不加逗号。无需使用过去完成时时态表达过去的过去，因为本句中有具体年份，二者的时间关系已经明确。
D.that单独使用，错误。which is when表达不简洁。and不能用于主句和从句的平行。
E.which is when表达不简洁。resulting from不用作状语修饰，通常只用于形容词性修饰语，所以前面通常不加逗号。

6.
答案：E
解析：
A.as with的意思是“关于”，不能表比较。指代抽象地点不能使用where，应该用in which。
B.as+名词。意为“作为”，语义错误。
C.主句少谓语，导致句子结构不完整，错误。
D.like的比较对象不对等，错误。指代抽象地点不能使用where，应该用in which。

7.
答案：A
解析：
B.but后面的结构少谓语，导致句子结构不完整，错误。but前面的句子使用过去完成时时态错误，没有依据要使用过去的过去。
C.前面已经有主语Galileo，所以后面的he多余，双主语，错误。少主语，导致句子结构不完整，错误。前面的句子使用过去完成时时态错误，没有依据要使用过去的过去。
D.少主语，导致句子结构不完整，错误。
E.even  though和but连用，错误，让步和转折不能一起使用。being不优选。but前后结构不平行，错误。

8.
答案：E
解析：
A."when compared to..."省略了主语，而通常从句与主句的主语相同时才会省略主语，所以，when从句的主语应看成是this group，那么就会导致compare to前后的比较对象不可比（一个是group，一个是percent），错误。
B.it完全指代，错误，1910年的人口比例和2000年的人口比例并不是同一事物。compare to前后的比较对象不可比，错误。
C.it指代不明，错误。comparing用作了主动语态，错误，percentage不能自发地去进行比较。
D.unlike的比较对象不对等，错误，将年份和人口比例进行了比较。

9.
答案：B
解析：
A.forbid from doing用法错误，forbid只能搭配不定式使用。
C.“in New Mexico, the privilege to prescribe began to be granted”表达不简洁，wordy。"the privilege began to be granted..."表意不佳，因为privilege不能自发地去授予...。the privilege to...并不是习惯用语，正确用法应该是the privilege of doing。
D.unlike放句首时，主句要立马给出比较对象。forbid from doing用法错误，forbid只能搭配不定式使用。
E.they指代不明，错误。unlike放句首时，主句要立马给出比较对象。forbid from doing用法错误，forbid只能搭配不定式使用。

10.
答案：D
解析：
A.proof for....不优选。for the bird to still exist表达awkward（？）。
B.proof for....不优选。bird as still existing表达awkward（?）。
C.continued existence的表达不简洁。proof for....不优选。
D.that同位语结构优选。
E.continued existence的表达不简洁。of通常表所属关系，proof of bird的意思变成了“鸟的证据”，逻辑语义改变，错误。and后面的its continued existence与solid proof并列，作find的宾语，不符合逻辑语义。
