7． The Oriental plaza, which is used for ice-skating in winter and dining and dancing in summer, is one of Beijing’s most popular attraction.

正确答案：名词单复数错误，应把attraction改为attractions。 解析：attraction作“向往的地方，有吸引力的事”讲时是可数名词，如a tourist attraction“一个旅游胜地”。又由于one of后面跟复数名词，故使用复数形式attractions。 知识模块：改错

正确答案：词义混淆，应把respectful改为respectable。 解析：respectful意为“表示敬意的”，respectable意为“值得尊敬的，体面的”。此处句意是“主人把自己的宠物埋葬在体面的宠物墓地中”，因此使用respectable。 知识模块：改错

22． At no time smoking permitted in the meeting room, because it will do harm to both smokers and non-smokers.

正确答案：倒装句错误，直在smoking前加上is。

in no way，not until等。 知识模块：改错
