答案部分

1.

【参考答案】将were改为was。

【参考译文】作为美国三大商业广播电视网之一，哥伦比亚广播公司成立于1928年。

【详细解答】本句的主语为CBS (哥伦比亚广播公司)，而不是networks。因此，将were organized改为 was organized。

2.

【参考答案】将which改为when/in which。

【参考译文】那年，它的创始人威廉·佩利获得了数家广播电台的所有权。

【详细解答】作“年代”的定语从句，其引导词可以是that, which, in which或when。这须判

断定语从句缺少什么成分，its founder William Paley, acquired ownership of a group of radio stations中，缺少时间状语，故引导词应为when或in which。

3.

【参考答案】将become改为becoming。

【参考译文】随着哥伦比亚广播公司业务范围的拓展，它很快成了美国的最大广播网。

【详细解答】 As the Columbia Broadcasting System expanded its operations,是一个由as引导伴随状语，与soon become the largest radio network in the United States 之间有一种逻辑上的因果关系，而不是并列关系，而且soon become…在句法上也与并列句子不合。(由and连结)，因此，用become是不合适的，由于become的逻辑主语是the Columbia Broadcasting System，因而将become变为becoming，使这个句子成为结果状语后，就使整个句子符合逻辑连贯性了。

4.

【参考答案】将evolved改为evolving。

【参考译文】它一开始就认识到了未来广播电视技术迅猛发展的趋势。

【详细解答】作前置定语时，现在分词表示“正在或将要发生”，过去分词表示“已经成为过去”。根据句意，发展趋势是未来的，因此，evolved是不合适的。要将evolved 改为evolving。

5.

【参考答案】将experimentally改为experimental。

【参考译文】 1931年7月13日，它开始在纽约试播电视节目。

【详细解答】副词作状语时，通常在实义动词之前，助动词之后。那么，experimentally 放在began之后，是不合适的，那么，experimentally 应修饰television broadcasting。但修饰名词应用形容词experimental，而不是experimentally。

6.

【参考答案】将week改为weekly。

【参考译文】 10年后，开始在纽约通过其WCBW TV电视台每周播放一定的黑白电视节目。

【详细解答】名词也可以作定语，但一定要符合句意。week意为“周，星期”，与broadcast 的搭配，没有什么合乎逻辑的含义，若将之换为weekly，“每周播放”则合乎句意。

7.

【参考答案】将that改为which。

【参考译文】 1946年11月，WCBW TV电视台改为WCBS TV。

【详细解答】从逻辑意义上讲，that became WCBW TV in November 1946是非限定性定语从句，that代替WCBW TV。但非限定性定语从句的引导词，只能用which。

8.

【参考答案】将composed改为is composed。

【参考译文】该广播电视集团有六大组成部分：电视网、娱乐、体育、新闻、地方电视台以及广播电台。

【详细解答】“在表示由……组成”时，一般用be composed of。

9.

【参考答案】将from改为to。

【参考译文】然而，到了80年代末，哥伦比亚广播公司失去了其领先地位，由全国广播公司取而代之。

【详细解答】 from，表示“从……来”。本句因from的误用，使句子失去了逻辑意义，则将from改为to，就表示了“将位置丢给了NBC”，to表示的意义刚好和from相反。

10.

【参考答案】将quality前加一个“a”。

【参考译文】新闻界的传奇人们爱德华·默罗和沃尔特·克朗凯特给哥伦比亚广播公司带来了盛誉，使其被称为信得过的新闻广播电视台。

【详细解答】 quality news broadcaster 的中心词是broadcaster(广播电视台)，是可数名词的单数形式，所以，应在quality前加上不定冠词a。
