专业英语八级（改错）模拟试卷254 (题后含答案及解析)
题型有： 3. LANGUAGE USAGE
PART III LANGUAGE USAGE
1． As is often pointed out, knowledge is a two-edged weapon which could be
used equally for good or evil.
正确答案：时态错误，应把could改为can。
解析：主句knowledge is a two-edged weapon已经显示出时态应为现在时，而从句也不表示虚拟，所以也应该用现在时。本句的意思是“正如人们经常指出的那样，知识是把双刃剑，可以用来造福，也可以用来为害。” 知识模块：改错
2． They would know that in very cold conditions water becomes a solid called
ice and that when heating on a fire it becomes a vapor called steam.
正确答案：语态错误，应把heating改为heated。
解析：在时间、条件、让步等状语从句中，当从句主语和主句主语一致时，可以将从句主语和be动词省略。此题后一个分句就是将when ice is heated on a
fire中的ice is省略了，所以应该用过去分词表示被动。 知识模块：改错
3． What we all know, if somebody doesn’t wake up, the middle class is on a
path to being downsized all the way to the bottom of society.
正确答案：定语从句引导词错误，应把What改成As。
解析：此处第一个从句是非限制性定语从句，后面的整个句子是这个定语从句所修饰的先行成分，作know的宾语。这种情况下，需要一个可以指代整个句子的关系代词，只有as具有这个功能。 知识模块：改错
4． What we were in the past very largely determines what we are now and in its
turn will very largely determine what we will become.
正确答案：句子成分缺失，应在第一个will前面加上it或者this。
解析：and后面的分句缺少主语，造成句意不明确，因此应加上一个可以替代what we are now的词，使句子在语法和意义上都讲得通。本句的意思是“过去的我们在很大程度上决定了今天的我们，而今天的我们又会在极大程度上决定未来的我们。” 知识模块：改错
5． Interest refers to the amount what your money earns when it is kept in a
savings instrument.
正确答案：定语从句关系代词误用，应把what改为which或者that或者直
接删去。
解析：amount在此是先行词，后面是一个定语从句，关系代词在从句中作宾语，故应用that或which引导，也可将其省略。 知识模块：改错
6． It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go
to get an education; therefore, it has been said that today children interrupt their
education to go to school.
正确答案：衔接副词误用，应把therefore改成nevertheless或however。
解析：本句前半句说“人们普遍认为学校是人们受教育的地方”，后半句说”一些人认为学校妨碍了孩子们受教育”，可见前后两句是转折关系。 知识模块：改错
7． Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a
skill—one needs careless training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired
by just leaving it to take care of itself.
正确答案：语义错误，应把careless改成careful。
解析：根据上下文语义可知，发音技巧需要经过仔细认真的训练才能掌握，故应将careless改为careful。 知识模块：改错
8． The President himself is constantly leaving Washington while he is
summoned to “fundraising dinners” where fat cats pay a thousand or so dollars a plate
to worm their way into government not through service but through donations of vast
amounts of money.
正确答案：状语从句连词误用，应把while改为because。
解析：主句说“总统经常离开华盛顿”，从句说“他是被叫去参加筹集善款的宴会了”，因此可以看出从句是说明总统离开华盛顿的原因，故应使用because。
知识模块：改错
9． I’m quite negative that humor is the most comfortable and lovable quality.
For humorous persons, if their gift is genuine and not a mere shine upon the surface,
are always agreeable companies.
正确答案：语义错误，应把negative改为positive。
解析：下文说“幽默的人，只要他有真才能，而不是徒有其表，就是令人愉快的伙伴。”由此可见，说话人对幽默持有一种肯定的态度。 知识模块：改错
10． Women’s work has not changed considerably in the past 200 years, moving
from the household to the office or the factory, and later becoming mostly
white-collar instead of blue-collar work.
正确答案：语义错误，应把not去掉。
解析：下文叙述了妇女工作的巨大变化，用not显然与句意不符。 知识模块：改错
11． Many of the companies with commercial products are experiencing the
unusual hard-time of pioneers, including production kinks, cautious customers, and
the impact of the recessions.
正确答案：语义错误，应把unusual改为usual。
解析：下文提到了公司遇到的一些困难，而这是先驱们都会经历的艰难时刻，即这些问题是“寻常的、正常的”，unusual表示“不寻常的”，用在这里不符合句意。 知识模块：改错
12． The total quantity of water is not known, and it is about enough to cover the
surface of the globe to depth of about two and three-quarter kilometers.
正确答案：连词误用，应把第一个and改为but。
解析：上文提到“水的总量虽不知道”，下文说“但它足够覆盖地球表面了”，因此上下文之间是转折关系，而不是并列关系。 知识模块：改错
13． Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, so farmers could not wait
for markets to improve.
正确答案：连词误用，应把so改为but。
解析：这句话的意思是“秋季小麦价格较低，但是农民们不能坐等市场好转”，上下文之间是转折关系，而不是因果关系。 知识模块：改错
14． An hour of hunting yields on average about 100 edible calories, as an hour
of gathering produces 240.
正确答案：连词误用，应把as改为while／whereas。
解析：根据上下文，这里应该是将hunting和gathering的结果进行对比，而不是因果关系。 知识模块：改错
15． He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leans forward and
grasps the arms of the chair as about to push himself upwards.
正确答案：衔接词错误，应在as后加上if／though。
解析：根据上下文语境，这里的意思是“好像，好似”，而不是“当……的时候”，否则逻辑上说不通。本句的意思是“他继续和客人谈话并倾听对方的回答，但同时向前探着身子、紧紧抓住椅子把手，好像要把自己往前推。” 知识模块：改错
16． Most of it—97% —is in the form of the salt waters of the oceans. The rest
is fresh, but three quarters of this is in the form of ice at the Poles and on mountains,

1． The two most celebrating holidays in the North and South America, Australia
and Europe, and in most of Christian world are Christmas and Easter.
正确答案：非谓语动词误用，应把celebrating改为celebrated。
解析：celebrate和holidays在逻辑上是动宾关系，即“节日被人们庆祝”，因此使用其过去分词。 知识模块：改错
2． This normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to
reversed routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at
night.
正确答案：形式主语错误，应把句首的This改为It。
解析：该句真正的主语是后面的不定式，由于主语太长，所以将其放在句尾，并用It作形式主语，且It takes sb．sometime to do sth．为固定表达。 知识模块：改错
3． The millions of calculations involved, if they had been done by hand, all
practical value have lost by the time they were finished.
正确答案：虚拟语气错误，应在have前加上would。
解析：本句包含了与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句，从句谓语动词使用了had+过去分词，主句谓语动词应使用would／could／should／might+have+过去分词。句意为“如此之大的计算量，如果用手工计算的话，等到完成的时候也失去了所有的实用价值。”根据句意，在have前加上would最合适。 知识模块：改错

The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammar are
for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. A
rough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that
grammatical words have “less meaning”, but in fact some grammarians
have called them “empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of
vocabulary. But this is a rather misled way of expressing the distinction.
Although a word like the is not the name of something as man is, it is very
far away from being meaningless; there is a sharp difference in meaning
between “man is vile” and “the man is vile”, yet the is the single vehicle of
this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words differ
considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even
in the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been
