Answer 1

【答案】①up→on②mean→means③going→go④was→were⑤and→but⑥life前加a⑦much→many⑧kept→keeps⑨t(yī)hat→where⑩were去掉

【解析】

（1）up→on 考查固定用法。live on繼續(xù)生活，以……為主食,靠……生活；live up快樂地過日子。故把up改為on。

（2）mean→means考查固定詞組。句意：科學(xué)家相信這些移居者通過大陸橋到達每周。by means of通過。故把mean改為means。

（3）going→go考查固定用法。此處表示目的，用to do表示。故把going改為go。

（4）was→were考查主謂一致。the majority大多數(shù)，應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)人稱。故把was改為were。

（5）and→but考查連詞。句意：戰(zhàn)爭之后，一些人回家了，但是大多數(shù)人留在加利福尼亞自己謀生盡管很困難。根據(jù)句意可知，前后文為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，應(yīng)該用but。故把and改為but。

（6）life前加a 考查固定詞組。make a life謀生。故life前加a。

（7）much→many考查固定用法。immigrant是可數(shù)名詞，much不能修飾可數(shù)名詞；a great many表示“許多，很多”，后直接加可數(shù)名詞，故把much改為many。

（8）kept→keeps考查時態(tài)。根據(jù)today可知，應(yīng)該用一般現(xiàn)在時，主語是which。故把kept改為keeps。

（9）that→where考查定語從句。此處的先行詞是Angel Island，關(guān)系詞在句中作地點狀語，故應(yīng)該使用地點連接詞。故把that改為where。

（10）were去掉 考查語態(tài)。此處是主動申請，不是被動。故把were去掉。
