      答案及解析

      1. covering改为covered。be covered with是固定搭配， 意为“为……所覆盖”， 此处过去分词短语作后置定语， 修饰country。

      2. pleased改为pleasant。pleased意为“感动高兴的”， 通常用来指人； pleasant意为“令人高兴的”， 通常用来指物。

      3. for改为as。be known for是“因……而众所周知”的意思； be known as意为“以……知名”。

      4. of改为in。此处because引导原因状语从句， 从句中in the spring of the year作时间状语。

      5. hundred改为hundreds。固定词组hundreds of意为“数以百计的”。

      6. not改为no。not为副词， 不能修饰名词； 修饰名词gardens应用no。

      7. has改为have。the Japanese指的是日本人民， 应用复数形式。

      8. 删去the。soil为物质名词， 其前不用定冠词。

      9. tiny后加it。此处让步状语从句缺主语。

      10. 此行无错。
