This is why we sometimes call Great Britain __1__ "Britannia" and the United States "Columbia", and think of it as stately women. We also use masculine symbols in our __2__ personification of nations. In 1712 John Arbuthont, a Scot,wrote a political satire in that the characters were supposed __3__ to be typical members of different nationalities. The Englishman was John Bull. This name, which was sufficient flattering to be __4__ adopted generally, combined the most common English first name with a last name indicated strength.

2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试题及答案1One important outcome of the work on the expression of genes in developing embryos is sure to be knowledge that can help preventing birth defects. Just as promising (26)is the possibility of unraveling the complicated writing (27)of the brain. A mechanic gets valuable insight how an (28)automobile works by rebuilding car engines; similarly, neuroscientists can learn how the brain functions from (29)the way it is put together. The next step pursuing the (30)goal is to find out how the blueprint genes, the home box genes, control the expression of other genes that create the valves and piston of the working cerebral engine. The protein encoded by the latter genes could change the (31)stickiness of the cell surface, the shape of the cell or its metabolism to create the characteristic peculiar to, say, neurons or neural-crest cell. Surface proteins may be the (32)mechanism, whereby similar programmed cells stick together to form specific structures; they might also sense (33)the local environment to help the cell decide what is to do. Clarifying those mechanisms will engage the best talents in (34)embryology and molecular biology for some times to come.(35)What is perhaps the most intriguing question of all is if the brain is powerful enough to solve the puzzle of its own creation.答案:26.preventing改为prevent27plicated改为complexion28.sight后加into29.neuroscientist改为a neuroscientist30.pursuing后加inter改为latter32.similar改为similarly33.去掉is34.times改为time35.if改为whether2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试题及答案2Because the air in the country is really clean, we ought to live there much as is possible. Since, however, a great deal of the worlds (26)work must be done indoor in cities, it is important that we take every (27)precaution to ventilate our houses properly. Some people have thought that night air is injurious. But careful study shows that night air is identical with that which we breath during the day. In face the (28)proper ventilation of a bedroom is one of the first necessity for good (29)health. Since the exhaled air is usually warmer and lighter than the inhaled air, it rises to the top of the room. Therefore it is better to open a window both at the top to let the warm up air out and also at (30)the bottom to admit the fresh air in. Of course, this does not mean (31)that one should sleep in a strong draft. In many places it is feasible to sleep out-of-the-doors on a sleeping porch and so to secure perfect (32)ventilation. In recent years we have seen steady progress made in the development of equipments to supply proper conditioned air not only in large (33)auditoriums, class-rooms, and factories, but also in railroad trains and in private homes. This equipment cleans the air off dust, keeps (34)the temperature comfortable, holds the humidity at the right point, and keeps the air in the motion. Such a condition is conductive to (35)efficiency as well as good health.答案：26.much前加as27.indoor改为indoors28.breath改为breathe29.necessity改为necessities30.up改为upper31.去掉in32.out-of-the-doors改为out-of-doors33.equipments改为equipment34.off改为of35.去掉the2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试题及答案3Henry Fielding, the famous novelist who was also 26)a London magistrate, once madea night raid to two known hideouts in this city-within-a-city; he found seven men,women, and children packed away in a few tiny 27)stinking rooms. All of these people,included little children of five and six who were trained as pick-pockets, were wantedfor crime. Conditions like these bred more criminals. One of the 28)typical cases was that Jack Shepard, whose execution in 1724 was watched by two hundred thousand people. Shepard, the son of honest working people, was an 29)apprentice in a respectful trade. He ran away from it because he fancied that he had been ill-treated, and soon 30)found it was easy to make more money by thieving 31)as his father had done by a lifetime of honest work. 32)In Shepard’s day highwaymen committed robberies at broad daylight, in sight of a crowd, and rode solemnly and 33)triumphantly through the town with danger of molestation. If they were chased, twenty or thirty armed men were ready34)to come to their assistance. Murder was a everyday affair, 35)and there were many people who made heroes from the murderers.答案：26.to * on27.included * including28.Jack * of Jack29.respectful * respectable30.was easy * easy31.as * than32.at * in33.with * without34.a * an35.from * of2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试题及答案4The changes in language will continue forever, but no one knows sure (26)who does the changing. One possibility is that children are responsible. A professor of linguistic at the University of Hawaii, (27)explores this in one of his recent books. Sometimes around1880, a (28)language catastrophe occurred in Hawaii when thousands of emigrant (29)workers were brought to the islands to work for the new sugar industry. These people speaking different languages were unable to communicate with each other or with the native Hawaiians or the dominant English-speaking owners of the plantations. So they first spoke in Pidgin English -- the sort of thing such mixed language (30)populations have always done. A pidgin is not really a language at all. It is more like a set of verbal signals used to name objects and (31)without the grammatical rules needed for expressing thought and ideas. And then, within a single generation, the whole mass of mixed people began speaking a totally new tongue: Hawaiian Creole. The (32)new speech was contained ready-made words borrowed form all the (33)original tongues, but beared little or no resemblance to the (34)predecessors in the rules used for stringing the words together. Although generally regarded as primitive language, Hawaiian Creole (35)had a highly sophisticated grammar.答案:26. sure前加for27.linguistic改为linguistics.28. sometimes改为sometime.29.emigrant改为immigrant30.去spoke后的in31.and改为but.32. people改为peoples.33. 去speech后的was.34. beared改为bore.35. as前加a2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试题及答案5I think it is true to saying that, in general, language teachers(26)have paid little attention to the way sentences are used in combination to form stretches of disconnected discourse. They have tended to take (27)their cue from the grammarian and have concentrated to the teaching (28)of sentences as self-contained units. It is true that these are often represented in "contexts" and strung together in dialogues and (29)reading passages, but these are essentially setting to make the formal properties of the sentences stand out more clearly, properties which are then established in the learners brain(30)by means of practice drill and exercises. Basically, the language teaching unit is the (31)sentence as a formal linguistic object. The language teachers view of what that constitutes knowledge of a language is essentially the same (32)as Chomskys knowledge of a syntactic structure of sentences,(33)and of the transformational relations which hold them. Sentences are seen as paradigmatically rather than syntagmatically related. Such a knowledge "provides the basis for the actual use of language by the speaker-hearer". The assumption that the language appears to make (34)is that once this basis is provided, then the learner will have no difficulty in the dealing with the actual use of language.(35)答案：26.saying改为say27.disconnected改为connected28.to改为on29.represented改为presented30.brain改为mind31.drill改为drills32.去掉what后面的that33.去掉knowledge后的anguage后加teacher35. 去掉dealing前面的the。

1. "Their football team plays good."改正：Their football team plays well.解析：在英语中，用来描述动词的方式有两种，一种是用副词，一种是用形容词。

2020年专八英语改错练习题
Cities can be frightened places. The majority of the population live in noisy massive tower blocks. __1__
The sense of belonging to a community tends to appear when you live thirty floors up in a skyscraper. __2__
Strange enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, __3__
nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks even say hello to each other. __4__
Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally keep the inhabitants of a small village together. __5__
People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help.
So country life has disadvantages too. For example, shopping becomes a major problem and __6__for anything
slightly out of the ordinary you have to go for an expedition to the nearest large town. __7__
The country has the advantage of peaceful and quiet, but suffers from the is advantages of being cut off. __8__
The city has noise and population which do harm to human health. But one of their main advantages is that __9__ you are at the centre of things and that life doesn’t come to an end even at ten at night. Some people have found a compromise be-tween the two： they expressed their preference for the
quiet life by leaving for the city and moving to the
__10__country within commuting distance of the large city.
参考答案：
1.把frightened改为frightening。
frightened是“受到惊吓的”，表明心理状态，而frightening表示“令人害怕的”，表示事
物性质。
2.把appear改为disappear。
“当你住在摩天大厦的三十层里”，能够推测这里要表达的是归属感的消失，而不是产生归属感。
3.把Strange改为Strangely。
Strangely enough，是固定短语，经常用作插入语，意思是“说也奇怪，最奇怪的是”。
4.在say前面加上don’t。
此处说的是，现在住在同一层楼的人
甚至见面都不打招呼。
5.把keep改为keeps。
in that 引导的句子主语应该是 a sense，故谓语应为单数。
本句的意思是，农村生活与这种隔绝孤立的生活不同，因为一种归属感把小村里的居民联系在一起。
6.把so 改为but/yet。
上文提到了乡村生活的好处，下文是转折，要用but或者yet。
7.把for改为on。
“去远征”应该用go on a expedition，而go for 的意思是“去找，努力获取，拥护”。
8.把peaceful改为peace。
of 后面不应该用形容词，所以应该改为peace。
这里需要注意的是quiet既是名词又是形容词，不要被迷惑。
9.把their改为its。
此处的代词应该指代上文的 the city。
10.删除leaving后面的for，或者把for改为from。
leave表示“离开某地”，而leave for表示“离开某地去另外一个地方”，for
后面接的是目的地。
本句说的是离开城市，搬到乡村，所以for是多余的。
