答案和正确用法

Answer 1

英语专业的改错题啊，呵呵。
1，considered_considering，因为这是一个完整的句子，且已经有动词 does not seem, considering是伴随状态。
例如： the truth that students are all late seems strange, proving that the parents are all busy.
学生们全都迟到的这个事实看上去很奇怪，但是都证实了家长们的繁忙。

2，我不会。

3，as well as
as well 只是相当于一个副词，相当于“也”，as well as+名词。
——who will go together, besides Lily?
——lucy as well.
——oh, Lily will go as well as Lucy.

4.不确定。
with 改为as.
The cost of batteries can really [add up] over the course of a year
[电池的耗费整年都在 增长]
it seems that there isn’t really a very good way to do [without] batteries
[貌似看来没有一条可以放弃使用电池的好方法]
[with] __ [as]the number of battery-[powered ]devices increases every year.
[随着耗电池设备每年都持续增长。
