Speaking of city life, we always think of tall buildings, crowded street and comfortable living conditions. Therefore, there is too much pollution in the city. Citizens had to put up with noises and harmful gases. What about country life? The first thought comes into our minds is peace and quietness. Villagers breathe freshly air and enjoy clean water. But this is known to all that life in the country is much more difficult than those in the city. Besides, life in the country lacks of the excitement of our modern times. In my opinion, if we human beings pay enough attention to protect the environment and natural resources, we will be able enjoy our life to the fullest.

Answer

1.street→streets

2.Therefore→However

3.had→have

4.comes→coming或者在comes之前加that

5.freshly→fresh

6.this→it

7.those → that

8.去掉lacks后面的of或者把of改为for

9.protect→protecting

10.在able后加to

【解析】

1.street→streets 考查可数单词复数。这里是泛指许多大街，故street改为streets。

2.herefore→However 考查连词。根据前一句句意“说起城市生活，我们经常会想到高高的楼房，拥挤的街道和舒适的住宿条件”，而下一句句意“但是，城市里有很多污染”，两句之间是转折关系，而且与主句隔开，故把Therefore改为However。

3.had→have 考查时态。本篇文章用的是一般现在时，故had改为have。

4.comes→coming或者在comes之前加that 考查语法。句意：第一想到的就是和平与安静。本句是主系表结构，comes into our minds是作定语，故要把comes改为非谓语形式，因thought与动词come是主动关系，故改为coming；或者在comes之前加that，构成定语从句，that在定语从句中作主语。

5.freshly→fresh 考查词性。air为名词，修饰名词用形容词，故freshly改为fresh。

6.this→it 考查固定搭配。it is known to all that众所周知，故this改为it。

7.those→that 考查代词的用法。句意：但是在乡村生活要比在城市难的多。than后面的代词代指life，故把those改为that。

8.去掉lacks后面的of或者把of改为for 考查固定搭配。lack既可作及物动词，也可作不及物动词，故后面可直接跟宾语，也可以加for，构成lack for，意为“缺乏……”，故去掉lacks后面的of或者把of改为for。

9.protect→protecting 考查语法。pay attention to doing 注意做某事，故protect改为protecting。

10.在able后加to 考查语法。be able to do能做某事，故在able后加to。

考点：考查词汇以及语法的运用能力。
