The hunter-gatherer tribes that today live as our prehistoric 1.__ human ancestors consume primarily a vegetable diet supplementing 2._ with animal foods. An analysis of 58 societies of modem hunter- gatherers, including the Kung of southern Africa, revealed that one

half emphasize gathering plant foods, one-third concentrate on fishing

and only one-sixth are primarily hunters. Overall, two-thirds

and more of the hunter-gatherer’s calories come from plants. 3. Detailed studies of the Kung by the food scientists at the University of

London, showed that gathering is a more productive source of food

than is hunting. An hour of hunting yields in average about 100 4._ edible calories, as an hour of gathering produces 240. 5._ Plant foods provide for 60 percent to 80 percent of the Kung 6. diet, and no one goes hungry when the hunt fails. Interestingly, if

they escape fatal infections or accidents, these contemporary

aborigines live to old ages despite of the absence of medical care. 7._ They experience no obesity, no middle-aged spread, little dental

decay, no high blood pressure, on heart disease, and their blood

cholesterol levels are very low( about half of the average American 8._ adult), if no one is suggesting what we return to an aboriginal life 9. style, we certainly could use their eating habits as a model for 10._ healthier diet.

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 (1) is that grammatical words have “less meaning”, but in fact (2) some grammarians have called the m “empty” words

as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this (3) is a rather misled way of expressing the distinction. (4) Although a word like “the” is not the name of somethin g

as “man” is, it is very far away from being meaningless; (5) there is a sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile”

and “the man is vile”, yet the is the single vehicle of (6) this difference in meaning.

Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably among

themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in (7) the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words

has been “little words.”But size is by no mean a good criterion (8) for distinguishing the grammatical words of English,

when we consider that we have lexical words as (9) go, man, say, car. Apart from this, however, there

is a good deal of truth in what some people say: we

certainly do create a great number of obscurity when (10)

we omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetry

of Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.

1999年答案

1.答案:as→like

【详细解答】as our prehistoric human ancestors意为"作为人类史前的祖先那样",但是根据上下文,此处应表达的意思是"像人类史前的祖先那样",故应该将as改为介词like。

2.答案:supplementing→supplemented

【详细解答】本句中的分词短语supplementing with animal foods 是定语,修饰vegetable diet,根据上下文,此处是指"素食被肉食补充",故应该用过去分词表被动。

3.答案:and→or

【详细解答】根据上下文,这里的意思只能是三分之二或多于三分之二,所以不能用表示并列关系的and,而应该用表示选择关系的or。

4.答案:in→on

【详细解答】on average为固定搭配,意为"平均"。

5.答案:as→whereas/while

【详细解答】根据上下文意思,这两句话表示的是一种对比关系。故应该改用连词whereas或w hile,引出相反或不同的事实。

6.答案:for

【详细解答】provide是及物动词,可以直接连宾语,不需要任何介词。

7.答案:of

【详细解答】despite是一介词,其后可直接接名词。

8.答案:half∧→that

【详细解答】在这里加上that,用来指代前面的blood cholesterol levels,句子结构才完整。

9.答案:if→though

【详细解答】根据上下文,这里的主从句关系不是条件,而是让步关系,即"尽管没有人建议我们回到土著人的生活方式,..."。

10.答案:for ∧→a

【详细解答】本句中的a healthier diet表示一种更加健康的饮食。冠词a泛指"一种或一类"。2000年答案

改错

1.答案:the

【详细解答】本句中的most为副词,修饰形容词obvious,意为“十分,非常”,由于obvious 不是最高级形式,故不用定冠词the。

2.答案:but→and

【详细解答】根据文章内容判断,but后面的陈述与前文并不是相反之意,而是并列关系。

3.答案:in→to

【详细解答】as opposed to为固定搭配,意为“与……对照,与……相比”。

4.答案:misled→m isleading

【详细解答】根据句意,这里的方式(way)是对他人有误导,不是被他人误导。所以应该用m islead 的现在分词表示主动的含义。

5.答案:away

【详细解答】far away from意为“距离某处很远”,而far from being则意为“远不是,远够不上”。根据上下文,这里是说“远非毫无意义”,故应该用短语far from being。

6.答案:single→only

【详细解答】此处用only修饰vehicle比用single更符合习惯用法。

7.答案:as→in

【详细解答】本句中的介词in表示“在……方面”,as则无此意。

8.答案:mean→means

【详细解答】by no means为固定搭配,意为“丝毫不,绝不”。

9.答案:have∧→such

【详细解答】such as是常见表达方式,用来举例说明。

10.答案:obscurity→obscurities

【详细解答】a number of 意为“大量的”,应修饰可数名词复数形式

2001年答案

1.答案:as→so

【详细解答】由于本句中的much修饰的是名词feeling,应改用so来修饰。

2.答案:increasing→increasingly

【详细解答】increasing可用来修饰名词,表示“正在增加”,修饰名词topic不合题意。本句中应该用副词作状语修饰形容词favorite,所以应该改用副词increasingly。

3.答案:so→but

【详细解答】根据上下文判断,小麦价格在秋天不断下降,但是农民不能等着市场提升价格。这里应该是转折关系,而不是因果关系。

4.答案:soon或shortly

【详细解答】要表达“不久以后”,要么用soon after,要么用shortly after,就是没有soo n shortly after 这种搭配。

5.答案:rich→richer

【详细解答】根据上下文,这里是说由于价格上涨,投机商们变得更加富有,故应该改用形容词的比较级形式。

6.答案:asked∧→for

【详细解答】ask for为固定搭配,意为“要求,请求”。

7.答案:involving→involved

【详细解答】be involved in为一固定搭配,意为“被卷入…”,这里的be为连系动词,可用become替换。

8.答案:1ife→living

【详细解答】根据上下文,这里要表达的意思是“生活费用”,应为living costs。life则意为“生命”,不能修饰costs。

9.答案:handle→deal或with

【详细解答】handle为及物动词,应直接带宾语。而固定搭配deal with与handle同义,都表示“处理(某事)”。

10.答案:total→full

【详细解答】total意为“总体的,全体的”,指一种整体的概念。而这里要表达的是“全部的权威”,英语中常用full authority。

2003年答案

PART ⅡPROOFREADING AND ERROR CORRECTION

1. 答案:height→high 【详细解答】height为不可数名词,意为"高度,身高,海拔,顶点"等,故此处应改为可数名词high。

2.答案:a 【详细解答】此处steady decline指稳定下降的行为、过程而不是其结果,为不可数名词,故应去掉定冠词a。

3.答案:went∧→on 【详细解答】go on为固定搭配,意为"持续"。

4.答案:high→higher 【详细解答】根据上下文,此处应为比较级。

5.答案:Europe→European 【详细解答】根据上下文,此处应用形容词作定语修饰名词counterparts。

6.答案:more 【详细解答】由上下文可知,more与equally矛盾,故应去掉。

7.答案:nevertheless→also 【详细解答】由上下文可知,此处讲的内容与前部分内容之间为递进关系,而非转折关系。

8.答案:that→those 【详细解答】由上下文可知,此处所指代的应为前面复数形式的marriages,故指示代词也应该用复数形式。

9.答案:Since→Although(或While) 【详细解答】从逻辑上讲,此处应表达让步关系,而非因果关系。

10.答案:in→to

2004年答案

PART ⅡPROOFREADING AND ERROR CORRECTION

1.答案:^ special committees → or special comm ittees

【详细解答】多项并列用句型either...or...or。

2.答案:consisted → consisting

【详细解答】consist of 意思是“由...构成”,故该处应用现在分词短语。

3.答案:in → on

【详细解答】固定搭配on ...occasions

4.答案:rely ^ → rely on

【详细解答】固定搭配rely on sb. to do something

5.答案:make out → make

【详细解答】make out 意思是“辨认出”,而此处意思是“对...做详细的研究”,故用“make detailed studies of...” 即可。

6.答案:its → their

【详细解答】此处指代的是“investigations”, 故用复数。

7.答案:^ public → the public

【详细解答】the +adj. 可表示某一类人,此处意思是“面向公众”,故应用“the public”。

8.答案:nevertheless → therefore (thus)

【详细解答】此处不是表示意思的转折,而是与前文构成因果关系,故可改为therefore 或thus。

9.答案:citizenry → citizens

【详细解答】citizenry 为集体名词,意为“全体公民”,且为旧用法;citizens指公民,强调具体的群体。

10.答案:these → those

【详细解答】those 指代witnesses , 即指代名词复数做定语从句的先行词,而these不行。

2005年

答案解析:

1. investing应改为invested。这里说“投资于”普通股中的捐赠金价值损失惨重,既然是投资,就是指人

去投资,即endowments (that were)heavily invested in.括号内的部分是被省略的部分,本句形式上是主动,实际意义上为被动,因此应该把investing改为invested,否则逻辑上和语法上都是说不通的。

2. 在irrespective和fluctuations之间加上介词of。irrespectiveOf是一固定用法,意指“不论,不管,不顾,”等,如:irrespectiveOfthecost不惜工本,irrespective of the consequences不顾后果,irrespective of duty status 不论职位高低。此处指公司不顾收入的波动变化。

3. 把those改为that。本句的后半部分主要强调的是大学里的“看法或观点”(outlook)与企业公司的看法或观点不一样,即着眼点在于对两种不同团体看法的对比。既然前面用的是单数形式,后面也应用单数形式,基本语法规则是前后应一致,本句为代词those的误用,所以应把those改为that。

4.在fact和economic之间力口上关系代词that。这是一个同位语从语,that在同位语从句中是不能省略的,否则就很可能出现意思所指不清的麻烦,所以此处必须加上关系代词that。

5.把定冠词the去掉。定冠词与一名词连用,表示某个或某些特定的人或物或机构等,而此处的in the school,一则意思不清,二则可能指在某人正在某个具体学校做某事。这一层意思与本文上下文不相吻合。比较之下,inschool是一固定说法,表示“在上学或求学”、“在校读书”正符合本文上下文的意思。因此应把定冠词去掉。

6.把形容词poor改为其比较级poorer。这句中的poor与后面的more形成一对比较关系,表示“越……越……”,根据这一思路,我们应把形容词poor改为其比较级poorer,以表达一种对称关系。

7.在ways和which之间加上一个介词in。在ways和which之间加上一个介词in,表示intheseways,即指通过前面提到的这些方法。相似的句子较多,如:Not all sounds made by animals serve as language,and we have only to turn to that extra ordinary discovery of echo-location in bats to see a case in which the voice plays a strictly utilitarian role.(动物发出的声音并不是都能当作语言,因此我们只好求助于蝙蝠回声定位的这种非凡的发展,探究一下语音在何种情况下起着绝对有用的作用。)

8.这里应该用动词的—lng形式,即eliminating,以便使句型结构与前面的giving(students a governance role)

保持一致,否则句子结构和意思都显得不正确。

9.将shorten(缩短;使变短)改为reduce或weaken。此处属于用词不当。应将shorten(缩短;使变短)改为

reduce(使精神垮下来;使身体瘦弱)或weaken(使削弱;使衰减),可表示文中所表示的“减弱竞争的残酷性”。10.将to give discounts on改为to give discounts to their best customer。意为实业公司给最好的客户提供优惠。

而give discount on something则指就某一商品打折扣,显然与本文的上下文是相悖的。因为本文一直在讨论就如何避免为抢最好的生源而展开恶性竞争,为抢好学生捉供优厚奖学金,与公司为抢客源,给最好的客户提供优惠道理是一样的。所以应做上述改动。

专业英语八级改错练习题及答案解析(30)

专业英语八级改错练习题及答案解析(30) Why does the idea of progress loom so large in the modern world? Surely because progress of particular kind is actually taking place around us and is more and more manifesting. Although mankind has undergone no general improvement in intelligence or morality, it has made extraordinary progress in the accumulation of knowledge. Knowledge begins to increase as soon as the thoughts of one individual could be communicated to another by mean of speech. With the invention of writing, knowledge could be communicated and stored. Libraries made education possible, and education in turn added libraries: the growth of knowledge followed a kind of compound-interest law, which was greatly enhanced by the invention of printing. All this was comparatively slow until, with the coming of science, the tempo was suddenly risen. Then knowledge began to be accumulated according to a systematic plan.However, as soon as new knowledge is acquired, it is now turned to practical account. What is called “modern civilization” is not the result of a balanced development of all man’s nature, but not of accumulated knowledge applied to practical life. The problem now facing humanity is: What is going to be done with all this knowledge? Like is often pointed out, knowledge is a two edged weapon which could be used equally for good or evil. It is now being frequently used indifferently for both. Could any spectacle, for instance, be more grimly whimsical than that gunners using science to shatter men’s bodies while, clo se at hand, surgeons use it to restore them. 1 ________ 2 ________ 3 ________ 4 ________ 5 ________ 6 ________ 7 ________ 8 ________ 9 ________ 10 _______

校对与改错(Proofreading and Error Correction) 题型分析与应试技巧 校对与改错是英语专业八级考试的第二部分。该部分采用主观测试题型。该项目包含两个部分:答题要求和一篇要求修改的短文。答题要求部分说明修改短文的三种方法:加入、删去和改动某一单词,并举例说明。要求修改的短文长度为200字左右。短文的体裁和题材不超出学生所熟悉的范围。短文内含10个错误;错误都出现在标有题号的行内。错误一般涉及单个词;每行只出现一个错误。要求修改的单词既有功能词(如介词、冠词等),也有实义词(动词、名词等)。错误既涉及句内也涉及句际。校对与改错部分的测试目的是检查学生在实际语境中灵活运用语言的能力。该项目考查学生的语法和词汇知识,但更侧重评估学生的综合语言能力。校对改错部分要求学生在15分钟内找出10个错误,并根据要求用三种方法之中的一种改正错误。 这一部分要求考生掌握三种知识: 1.语法知识 众所周知,英语语言能力包括众多因素,其中之一是语法知识。没有系统的语法知识,学习者就很难全面、准确地以口头或书面的形式表达思维或意念。对于把英语作为外语的学生来说,语法知识的掌握尤为重要,因为它有助于提高语言的准确性、逻辑性。鉴于此,校对改错项目的一个测试点是检验高年级学生语法知识的掌握程度及其运用能力。一般地说,该项目中要求改正的错误里包括一些语法错误。例如: 定语从句(1996年第三题),/ 情态动词(1997年第一题),/ 冠词(1997年第九题), / 介词(1998年第四题), / 反身代词(1998年第六题),等等。 校对改错项目要求学生运用已学过的语法知识,来判断句子的正误,找出语病,并作修正。这里要强调的一点是,八级考试的这个项目不是孤立地测试学生

英语专八改错解题思路 1. 宏观层面分析(1)句子结构(理顺整个句子的结构,必要时检索上下文) (2)逻辑关系(关联词选择:并列、递进、因果、转折、假设、让步等) (3)时态和语态(完成时和虚拟语气是考查重点) 2. 微观层面分析 (1)缺漏(介词、代词、引导词)(2)冗余(两个主语、同义重复) (3)误用(词性、分词、正反义、主被动、形容词和副词级别) (4)一致性(名词单复数、主谓一致、先行词)(5)词义与固定搭配 3. 注意事项 (1)即使按照语感很快找到了疑似错误,也要坚持读完全句再做判断,可能会有新的发现。过于相信第一感觉而带来的失分是划不来的。(2)分两次改比较合理,因为毕竟只有少数人能够在第一遍看材料的时候就找出所有的错误,尽管这些错误不见得隐藏得多深。 (3)常考题型,高度警惕。冠词:the变a, a变the,补the补a,删a删the,每年都玩的把戏。

单复数:无非是his变their之类的,关键是细心。近义词:例如distinct和distinctive,move和movement,interest和interests… 反义词:尤其看到dis, un, im,in,non之类的,更要琢磨一下。 关联词:几乎是保留节目,and, but, however, though, moreover, therefore… 非谓语动词:见了ing想ed,见了ed想ing, 就是这么贱。 形容词比较级:多半是把原形改为比较级。考的频率也蛮高的。虚拟语气:注意一下还是比较容易看出来的,多长个心眼儿吧。 It:有时要加,有时要删,有时要变itself,总之多盯“它”几眼。动词词组:其实主要是介词的问题,这个没办法临时抱佛脚,要靠积累. 改错: 1、改错虽然为主观题,但错误类型相对集中,可分为以下几种情况: 定冠词:a, an, the误用,甚至多出来;解决

模拟1 You stare at a waterfall for a minute or two, then shift your gaze to its surrounding. What you now see appears to drift upward. You __1 are board a train in a busy station when suddenly another train next __2 to your starts moving forward. __3 For a fraction of a second you feel that your train has lurched backward. These optical illusions occur because the brain is constantly matching its model of reality to signals from the body’s sensors and interpret what must be happening – that your train __4 might have moved, not the other; that downward motion is now __5 normal, so a change from it must be perceived as upward motion.

英语专八校对与改错解题技巧

英语专八校对与改错解题技巧 校对与改错 Proofreading and Error Correction 校对与改错是英语专业学生高年级考试(TEM-8)的第二部分。该部分采用主观测试题型。该项目包含两个部分:答题要求和一篇要求修改的短文。答题要求部分说明修改短文的三种方法:加入、删去和改动某一单词,并举例说明。要求修改的短文长度为200字左右。短文的体裁和题材不超出学生所熟悉的范围。短文内含10个错误;错误都出现在标有题号的行内。错误一般涉及单个词;每行只出现一个错误。要求修改的单词既有功能词(如介词、冠词等),也有实义词(动词、名词等)。错误既涉及句内也涉及句际。 校对与改错部分的测试目的是检查学生在实际语境中灵活运用语言的能力。该项目考查学生的语法和词汇知识,但更侧重评估学生的综合语言能力。校对改错部分要求学生在15分钟内找出10个错误,并根据要求用三种方法之一改正错误。 这一部分要求考生掌握三种知识: (1.)语法知识 众所周知,英语语言能力包括众多因素,其中之一是语法知识。没有系统的语法知识,学习者就很难全面、准确地以口头或书面的形式表达思维或意念。对于把英语作为外语的学生来说,语法知识的掌握尤为重要,因为它有助于提高语言的准确性、逻辑性。鉴于此,校对改错项目的一个测试点是检验高年级学生语法知识的掌握程度及其运用能力。一般地说,该项目中要求改正的错误里包括一些语法错误。例如: 定语从句(1996年第三题), 情态动词(1997年第一题), 冠词(1997年第九题), 介词(1998年第四题), 反身代词(1998年第六题),等等。 校对改错项目要求学生运用已学过的语法知识,来判断句子的正误,找出语病,并作修正。 这里要强调的一点是,TEM-8考试的这个项目不是孤立地测试学生的语法知识;它更偏重学生运用语法知识的能力,即怎样把书本知识转化成实际能力。因此,对于学生来说,在平时一要巩固已学过的语法知识,理清概念;二要注重提高运用语言知识解决具体问题的能力。 (2.)词汇与搭配 校对改错项目的另一测试点是学生对常用词汇、搭配和用法的了解及运用。比如: 外层空间应为outer space,而不是out space(1996年第5题), 做动作应为perform an act,而不是make an act(1997年第8题), 姿式应为posture,而不是post (1997年第10题),站起来应为get to their feet,而不是get on their feet(1998年第4题),等等。 词汇测试面涵盖各类词性的词,同时侧重考核它们的搭配与用法。归根结底,词汇测试部分主要是检验高年级学生在词
