【语篇解读】 修改是作品写作过程中非常重要且必须的步骤。本文讲述了作品修改的目的和途径。
2．答案 B [考查介词短语辨析。前面adding，deleting，replacing，reordering都是revising的某一方面，即revising和这些名词同义；in other words表示“换句话说”，符合句意。而in particular(尤其、特别，表强调)、as a result(因此，表结果)、for example(例如，表举例说明)都不符合题意。难度适中。]
4.A
答案 B [考查介词短语辨析。in addition to表示“而且；除……之外还有”，in opposition to表示“与……意见相反”，in contrast to表示“与……形成对比”，都与句意不符。in response to(作为对……的反应)在本句中表示“你修改作品是对你想改进作品目的的一种回应”。难度大。]
