答案及解析:

1.most改为more

这句话实际上使用了the more…the more…结果，表示"一个法律制度越完善，社会在其中所负的责任越大"。

2.societies改为society

society 这里应选择单数因为原句的意思是"一个国家的法律制度越完善，社会在发现，控制，和惩治暴力行为中所承担的责任就越大"，含义是单数的，所以应该使用单数形式。

3.dealing改为deal

the means to 词组里的to是不定式的to，因此后面应接动词原型。

4.personal改为personally

这里personally修饰carrying out judgment…，因此是使用副词。

5.did改为committed

offense经常与commit，cause，take，give搭配，这里用commit the offense 表示"犯罪"。

6.personalized改为depersonalized

前面一句话指明在部族社会"惩恶扬善"是家族或个人的事，而在法制社会里，"复仇"这一任务不再由个人担当，而是交给社会，因此这里不应使用personalized，而应使用depersonalized，表示"非个人化"。

7.he改为they

这里代词he与前面它所指代的名词individuals不一致，应为they。

8.committing改为imposing

commit的意思是"犯(错误)，干(坏事)，把…交拖给，答应负责"，在这里不适合，应改为impose。

9.controlling改为controlled

中心词legal system和control的关系是被动的，法律制度是被国家控制的。

10.circle改为cycle

circle和cycle的区别在于circle表示"圈子"，如：a circle of friends

而cycle表示"循环，周期"，如： the cycle of birth
