Lebrun Steel Facing up to Tough Times
After 98 years of trading, the steel manufacturer Lebrun knows from experience as how
difficult fluctuations in the economic cycle can be for suppliers such as themselves.
34 Since many of the nation's largest production companies which are its customers,
35 Lebrun is adversely affected by any change for the worse in the economy. Yet Lebrun
36 has managed to keep on sales steady (in the region of approximately $2.5 billion)

答案詳解:
這篇文章是介紹一個(gè)生產(chǎn)商面臨的困境及所采取的措施。
34題,這個(gè)句子并不是定語從句,主謂賓都很齊全,主語companies,謂語are,賓語its customers.所以which是多余的
35題,正確的
36題,keep on doing繼續(xù)做什么,接名詞的話直接用keep,keep sales steady保持銷售平穩(wěn),on多余。
37題,正確的
38題,but和despite不能同時(shí)使用,必須去掉一個(gè)。but后面要接完整的句子,這個(gè)后面不是句子,是名詞性成分,所以保留despite,去掉but。
39題,turn… into 變?yōu)椋蔀?。固定詞組。turning survival into growth變生存為增長。Up多余。
40題,句子前后并沒有指代的含義,代詞those多余。
41題,a one-time competitor是修飾前面的Bronson pic ,additionally是另外的,附加的意思,用在這里意思和用法都不通,所以去掉。
42題,both表并列,而這個(gè)句子前后是沒有并列的含義的,只說了擴(kuò)展規(guī)模。所以both多余。
43題,too是副詞,在這里用法不對(duì)
44題,in a similar way固定用法,much多余
45題,while用來引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句,而很明顯這個(gè)句子并不是,只是由that引導(dǎo)的從句,句子成分很齊全。去掉while。
