The European Union had approved a number of genetically

答案：
1. its改為their;
2. country改為countries;
3.base 改為basis;
4. for 改為 against;
5. much 改為little;
6. on 改為of;
7. of 改with;
8. seem后面加to;
9. which 改為that;
10. clear改為unclear或者前面加not.
解析：
1. 本題考查了大家識別代詞所指的能力，its指代genetically modified crops(為復(fù)數(shù)), 所以應(yīng)該改成their；
2. such country是指前面要求暫停進口轉(zhuǎn)基因農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的某些歐盟國家, 所以應(yīng)該改成復(fù)數(shù)；
3. 此處意為： 因為沒有科學根據(jù)支持暫停(進口), it指the moratorium； base 基礎(chǔ), 基地, 根據(jù)地；basis (for) 基礎(chǔ), 基本, 根據(jù); 科學根據(jù)只能說scientific basis, 有的同學把base 后面的for 改為 on , 應(yīng)該是受到了base on 這個短語的影響；
4. the greens = the environmentalists 環(huán)保主義者。 Case 論點，論據(jù)， case for 后面的them指GM crops, case for sth. 支持某物的論點，case against sth. 反對某物的論點(削弱了)；
5. 邏輯錯誤，本句正常語序為Much evidence of health risks from eating them has emerged. 根據(jù)And, overall, 或后的語意，此行應(yīng)該把much 改為little, 說明沒有什么跡象、根據(jù)表明吃GM crops對健康有什么危險；
6. 本句的意思為：研究表明modified crops對環(huán)境造成的后果并沒有環(huán)保主義者所聲稱的那樣嚴重。 Environmental effects of modified crops (modified crops對環(huán)境造成的后果); 很多同學看到effects 以為后面一定跟on 就錯了；
7. find fault with批評，找茬；
8. seem to be taking固定結(jié)構(gòu)，be 不能少；
9. taking the attitude that..后為同位語從句，不能用which；
10. 注意since 前面的and 表示前后語意一致。 因為歐洲人覺得仍然存在使用GM food的不利后果，并且他們作為消費者從GM food中會如何獲得好處也不清楚，所以他們不愿意冒風險。
