　　参考答案：

　　1.在part前加上a。词组have a part to play in…的意思是“有份儿”

　　2.saddle改为saddled。此处为被动语态，应该把动词变为过去分词形式。

　　3.把with改为at。此处介词与interest rates搭配。

　　4.删除been(这里应该是把risen改为rising，答案应该错了)。rise是不及物动词，不用于被动语态。

　　5.把letting改为let。let alone 意思为“更不用提”。

　　6.把imported改为exported。下文说花生可以带来外汇收益，出口才会带来外汇，所以此处应用exported。

　　7.把have改为had。上文提到该国禁止本国消费花生这件事用的是过去时。

　　8.把also改为so。必须把与此相关的'几个句子联系在一起理解，上文说：花生出口到英国和美国去喂了牛，而牛又产出了过剩的牛奶，我们不知道怎么处理这些牛奶。在西方世界，我们的牛奶够多了，多得无法处理。本句说：这些牛奶就被制成奶粉拿到该国去喂养那些营养不良的儿童。由此可见本句与上文是因果关系，不能用also来连接。

　　9.insanely改为insane。此处表达“荒唐的经济关系”insane修饰的是relationship，而非economic，因此要用形容词代替。

　　10.把in改为into。词组get in 虽然也可以表达“ 进入，陷入”，但是in为副词，后面不能跟地点，所以应该改为into。
