Answer 1

1.The need to improve race relations in Inner London boroughs is of paramount

importance.

改善倫敦內部各種族之間的關係的需求是最重要的。
解說：to improve race relations 主要是修飾need，說明是那一種需求。be of importance = be importantof之後加某些抽象名詞時，它的意思就跟形容詞一樣。比方說be of use = be usefulbe of value = be valuable

2.Let's buy two kilos of peaches now.They will keep in the fridge for about two weeks.我們買二公斤的桃子吧。桃子放冰箱可以放大約二個星期。解說：食物+keep的中文就是【食物放著不會壞】，食物可以直接當主詞。
