　　参考答案:

　　1改export为exports

　　export作可数名词时指出口商品,同时根据one of 结构也可以知道这里export要用复数结构.

　　2 改playing为played

　　动词play和句子主语American popular music是逻辑动宾关系,必须用被动语态.

　　3 改Because为Though或者Although

　　此句为让步状语从句.

　　4 改suburban为rural

　　这里属于词义用错,suburban为城市郊区,乡村音乐显然来自乡村地区.

　　5 改because为because of

　　6 改depicted为depicts

　　本句错在时态.句意为 “blues大多抒发哀伤情感,反映美国黑人的艰难生活.”为与全文主导时态一致,不能用过去时.此外,blues现在的风格依旧,故用现在时.

　　7 将not去掉.

　　8 改is为was

　　此句有过去时间状语 in the 1950’s, 陈述过去的一个事实,故用一般过去时态.

　　9 改sing为sung

　　sung 引导过去分词短语作宾语补足语,表被动意思.

　　10 改coincide为differ(在may后加not也可以)

　　此句含有连词but,整个句意含有转折语气.
