【答案】

1 将which改为that

先行词由最高修饰时定语从句的关系代词只能用that

2 在thought 后面加of，或者将thought 改为regarded

think of A as B指“把A看作B”为固定搭配。

3 去掉he

这句话的.主语是to hunt a whale, to hunt a whale was high adventure 中间的when只是插入的状语从句。

4 在referred后加to

refer to A as B只“把A称作B”,这句话的意思是“古人把鲸称作大鱼”。

5 在felt 后加for

这句话实际的结构是feel a sense of wonder for whales指“对鲸怀有惊奇的感觉”，for引出对象。

6 在exploit后加them

capture, slaughter, exploit都是及物动词，后面必须加宾语。

7 去掉but

前面已有even though，后面就不应该再用but

8 将since改为from

100 years from now指“从现在起100年后”since 只能用于完成时。

9 在blame前加to

be to blame for sth 指“对某事应负责任”，为固定搭配。

10 在always前加has

这个定语从句强调对现在的影响，很明显应该用完成时，不能用过去式。
