　　參考答案及解析：

　　1 改export為exports

　　export作可數(shù)名詞時(shí)指出口商品,同時(shí)根據(jù)one of 結(jié)構(gòu)也可以知道這里export要用復(fù)數(shù)結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　2 改playing為played

　　動(dòng)詞play和句子主語(yǔ)American popular music是邏輯動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,必須用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。

　　3 改Because為Though或者Although，此句為讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。

　　4 改suburban為rural

　　這里屬于詞義用錯(cuò),suburban為城市郊區(qū),鄉(xiāng)村音樂(lè)顯然來(lái)自鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)。

　　5 改為because of

　　6 改depicted為depicts

　　本句錯(cuò)在時(shí)態(tài).句意為 “blues大多抒發(fā)哀傷情感,反映美國(guó)黑人的艱難生活.”為與全文主導(dǎo)時(shí)態(tài)一致,不能用過(guò)去時(shí).此外,blues現(xiàn)在的風(fēng)格依舊,故用現(xiàn)在時(shí)。

　　7 將not去掉

　　8 改is為was

　　此句有過(guò)去時(shí)間狀語(yǔ) in the 1950’s, 陳述過(guò)去的一個(gè)事實(shí),故用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)。

　　9 改sing為sung

　　sung 引導(dǎo)過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ),表被動(dòng)意思。

　　10 改coincide為differ(在may后加not也可以)，此句含有連詞but,整個(gè)句意含有轉(zhuǎn)折語(yǔ)氣。
