29.Despite its cultural improtance,the Daily Gazette lost 70 percent of its subscribers since 1920 and,by 1955,was losing as much as $200,000 a year.lost有错应该怎么改?

1.D项后面省略了as the courthouse.对比D项与A项可以发现,原文的错误实质上是it所指代的courthouse承后省略了.在这种情况下,就不如把courthouse放在前面,让后面的as the courthouse省略掉.
4.the news后面通常只跟that引导的同位语从句或定语从句.这里原句用how引导一个从句不妥,应加一个介词of
8.be subject to后面要跟名词或动名词,to在这里是介词,而非不定式.
29.既然出现了since 1920,谓语显然应该用完成时,改成has lost
