答案及解析:
1.^they-that
分句后的分句应有它独立的主谓结构,正像它前面的结构一样。而后半句的谓语是is,表语是fact,主语似乎是缺失的,因此在they前面加上that就构成了主语从句作为这半句的主语。

2.stimuli-stimulus
stimuli看似单数实则是stimulus的复数形式,因此应改为stimulus。

3.to-/
这里的need作情态动词,因此删去to。

4.or-nor
并列的否定,用否定形式nor表示倒装。

5.on-in
in profile表示 “侧面,从侧面”。如:
The painting shows her in profile。

6.^opposed-as
opposed前应使用连词as引导比较分句。

7.old-olds
由谓语的复数形式可以看出这里需要用复数形式four-year-olds。

8.and-but

9.furthermore-however
上一句话指明美国文化中眼睛的重要性,而这一句话似乎指出日本文化中眼睛并不具有同样的重要性,因此两句话的关系是转折而不是递进。

10.like-as
句子中有一个as……as比较结构。
