问题     The American medical school is now well along in the second
century of its history. It began, but for many years continued to exist,【S1】________
as a supplement for the apprenticeship system still in vogue during the【S2】________
17th and 18th centuries. The likely youth of this period, destined to a【S3】________
medical career, was at an early age indentured to some reputable
practitioner, whom his service was successively menial, pharmaceutical,【S4】________
and professional; he ran his master’s errands, washed the bottles, mixed
the drugs, spread the plasters, and finally, while the stipulated term【S5】________
drew toward its close, actually took a part in the daily practice of his【S6】________
preceptor—bleeding his patients, pulling their teeth, and obeying a
hurried summons in the night. The quality of the training varied within
large limits with the capacity and conscientiousness of the master.
Ambitious  spirits  sought,  therefore,  a  more  assured  and  inspired【S7】________
discipline. Beginning early in the 18th century, having served their time
at home, they resorted in rapidly increasing numbers in the hospitals and【S8】________
lecture halls of Leyden, Paris, London, and Edinburgh. The difficulty
of the undertaking proved admirably selective; for the students who
crossed the Atlantic gave a good account of themselves. Return to their【S9】________
native land, they sought opportunities to share with their less fortunate
or less adventurous fellows the rich experience gained as they " walked
the hospitals" of the old world. The voices of the great masters of that
day thus reechoed in the recent western wilderness. High scientific and
professional ideals impelled the youthful enthusiasts, who bore their
lighting torches safely back across the waters.【S10】________ [br] 【S10】
选项
答案 lighting—lighted
解析 非谓语动词误用。该句意为“……他们手持着点亮的火把安全地……。”动词light和torch之间是动宾关系，应该用过去分词形式，故将lighting改为lighted。
