　　The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical __1__ words have ―less meaning‖, but in fact some grammarians have called them __2__ ―empty‖ words as opposed in the ―full‖ words of vocabulary. But this is a rather __3__ misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like the is not the name __4__of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a __5__ sharp difference in meaning between ―man is vile‖ and ―the man is vile‖, yet the　is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words __6__ differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in __7__the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been ―little words.‖ But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words.‖ __8__of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. __9__ Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say: we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This is __10__ illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.

　　参考答案及解析:

　　1 删掉the

　　此处的most并不表示obvious的最高级，而是用作副词修饰obvious，表示程度很高，因此前面不能加the。

　　2 将but改为and

　　根据文章的意思，这里要用并列关系的and。

　　3 将in改为to

　　as apposed to 是固定搭配，意思是―与……相比‖。

　　4 将misled改为misleading

　　5删掉away

　　此处考查固定用法。 far from being...意思为―远非‖―远远不怎么样‖，符合这里的意思。而far away from 表示离某处很远。

　　6 将single改为only或者sole 这里要表达―唯一的‖。

　　7 在as后面加to或者将as 改为in

　　联系上下文，此处的意思是―grammatical words 本身在某某方面也有相当的差异，‖as to 有―关于‖或者―在某某方面的意思‖;将as改为in，用differ from something in…也可表达这个意思。

　　8 将mean改为means

　　9 将as改为like，或者在as前面加such

　　10 将number改为deal或者amount

　　obscurity是不可数名词，不能用a number of 来修饰。
