　　Answers：34 THE 35 TAKE 36 OUR 37 THROUGH

　　38 ARE 39 LOOK 40 PLACE 41 YEARS

　　42 FOR 43 THAT 44 CORRECT 45 OF

　　详细解释：00 waste是及物动词，后面直接跟上名词，of多余。

　　34 on offer是固定结构，类似的有on sale / on exhibition等。

　　35 介词后要用V- ing形式， 用for短语表示目的， 动词take多余。

　　36 这里是是“国际性会议”，并不是指谁的，所以our是干扰词。

　　37 这是一个强调句，强调主语,如果用了through后面的 has的主语就是介词短语through the improvement了。所以，through是多余的。对于强调句，解决的方法就是去掉It is …that后看句子主干是否完整正确。

　　38 这一题应该联系下一行，删除are后是用过去分词作后置定语。

　　39 这里要用like，表示举例说明，look是多余的，可以根据句意判断出。

　　40 place没有必要，与前面的主语they也不一致。

　　41 not long ago是固定结构，years是多余的。

　　42 as far as是一个连词词组，而for是介词，后面接的是句子,应该去掉for。

　　43 句子没有“既然”的意思，用了that造成句子意思有悖于原文。

　　44 这一行没有错误。

　　45 这里of是多余的，应该去掉，用the same day做状语。当然，如果是四六级的题目，我们也可以把of改为in，用介词短语作状语。但BEC中没有这种改法。
