英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economical causes: it is not due simply to the badinfluence of this or that individual writers. But an effect can becomea cause, reinforce the original cause and producing the same effectin an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take drinkbecause he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the mostcompletely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that ishappening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccuratebecause our thoughts are foolish, but the sloven of our languagemakes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that theprocess is irreversible. Modern English, especially written English,is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can beavoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one getsrid of these habits one can think more clearly, and think clearly is anecessary first step towards political regeneration: so that the fightagainst bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concerningof professional writers. I will come back to this present, and I hopethat by that time the meaning of what I have said here will have becomeclearer.答案及解析:1.economical－economiceconomical的意思是“节约的，经济的，省钱的”，而此处应选择economic表示“经济的，有关经济的”。

Psycholinguists study understanding,production, and remembering language,and hence are concerned 【M1】______with listening, reading, speaking, writing, and memory for language.One reason why we take the language for granted is that it usually 【M2】______happens so effortlessly, and most of time, so accurately. 【M3】______Indeed, when you listen to someone speaking or looking at this page, 【M4】______you normally cannot help but understand it. It is only in exceptional circumstances we might become aware of 【M5】______the complexity involved: if we are searching for a word but cannotremember it; if a relative or colleague has had a stroke which has 【M6】______influenced their language; if we observe a child acquiring language; 【M7】______if we try to learn a second language ourselves as an adult; or if weare visually impaired or hearing-impaired or if we meet anyone else 【M8】______who is. As we shall see, all these examples of what might be called “language in exceptional circumstances”reveal a great deal about theprocesses evolved in speaking, listening, writing and reading.

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。

专业英语八级（改错）模拟试卷298(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 3. LANGUAGE USAGEPART III LANGUAGE USAGEAs we have seen, there is nothing about language as such that makes linguistic identity coextensive with national identity. “If hespeaks French, he is by any means necessarily French.”French is【M1】______not the private property of Frenchmen, as English of English【M2】______people. This should be obvious when one reflects that English is the mother-tongue in Canada, the United States, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and many other areas of the world. Yet many of usstill half-consciously feel that when anyone no other than an【M3】______Englishman uses English, we have a special right to criticise hisusage because he has privileged to handle something that is in the【M4】______Englishman’s gift. We feel that he must necessarily look us for a【M5】______”standard”, because it is “our” language. It is reasonable to regard【M6】______any language as the property of a particular nation,and with no language is it more irrational than with English. This is not to saythat English is used by a great number of speakers than any other【M7】______language: it is easily outnumbered in this respect with Chinese.Whereas it is the most international of languages.【M8】______ To people in Africa or Pakistan or Chile, English is the obvious foreign language to master, not merely because it is the native language in Great Britain and the United States, but because itprovides a readiest access to the cream of world scholarship and to【M9】______the bulk of world trade. It is understanding more widely than any【M10】______other language.1．【M1】正确答案：any—no解析：词汇错误。
专八改错练习1-20参考答案及解析
参考答案及解析1:1.redistributing改为redistribute。
attempt to 后面一般接动词原型，而不接动名词，因为这里的to是不定式符号，而不是介词，即attempt to do sth.。
2.you 改为others。
此句是说，如果一部分相对比较穷，那么一部分人就会相对比较富。
将人群分为两部分，此处就不能用you，others才可以表示人群的一部分。
3.在interests和than中间加上rather。
此句不是表示比较（than），而是表示转折（公众政策反映他们的利益，而不是穷人的利益），所以应该用rather than （而不是）代替than。
4.doing改为done。
此句是被动语态，表示―脏活被完成‖，get 是系动词，所以应用do的过去分词形式done。
5.will改为would。
此句使用了虚拟语气，表示对现在情况的假设，所以主句应用would。
6.cookers改为cooks。
厨师是cook，而不cooker。
cooker指炊具，与后面的―gardener（园丁）and other workers‖不一致，所以应改为厨师（cook）。
7.when改为while。
此处不是表示时间上的同时性，而是表示两种情形的对比，―一些人在做……，而另一些人在做……‖。
表示对比的连词一般用while。
8.去掉more。
inferior本身就表示―低级的‖，已经构成了比较形式，所以前面一般不能再加more。
petent 改为incompetent。
此句讲的是穷人所能享受的服务，过期的面包、报废的汽车，还有不合格的医生和律师所提供的建议。
如果是competent，则成了合格的医生和律师所提供的建议，那么与整句意思不符。
10.去掉in。
此句中的which引导非限定性定语从句，作influence和change的直接宾语，因为influence和change均为及物动词，所以不能加in。

专业英语八级（改错）模拟试卷301(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 3. LANGUAGE USAGEPART III LANGUAGE USAGEAs food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodiesgrow and muscles develop with the input of adequate nutritious【M1】______food. Otherwise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain【M2】______our keen mental power and expand our intelligent capacity.【M3】______Constant learning supplies us inexhaustible fuel for driving us to【M4】______sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learningincessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the time in the【M5】______information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty. Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition ofknowledge. On contrary, learning should be a never-ending【M6】______process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changed【M7】______so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What’s worse, the animalistic instinct deep inour subconsciousness will come to life, and weakening our will to【M8】______pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success, even killing our desire for the refinementof our characteristic. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the【M9】______stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore,to stay mentally younger, we have to take learning as a lifelong【M10】______career.1．【M1】正确答案：input—intake解析：词汇错误，易混词误用。

专业英语八级改错练习题及答案解析(3)
We live in a society which there is a lot of talk about science, but I would say that there are not 5 percent of the people who are equipped with school, including college, to understand scientific reasoning. We are more ignorant of science as people with comparable education in Western Europe. There are a lot of kids who know everything about computers -- how to build them, how to take them apart, and how to write programs for games. So if you ask them to explain about the principles of physics that have gone into creating the computer, you don’t have faintest idea. The failure to understand science leads to such things like the neglect of human creative power. It also takes rise to blurring of the distinction between science and techno logy. Lots of people don’t differ between the two. Science is the production of new knowledge that can be applied or not, and technology is the application of knowledge to the production of some products, machinery or the like. The two are really different, and people who have the faculty for one very seldom have a faculty for the others. Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But as soon as it can provide technology, it’s not necessarily harmful. No society has yet learned to forecast the consequences of new technology, which can be enormous. 1 ________
2 ________
3 ________
4 ________
5 ________
6 ________
7 ________
8 ________
9 ________
10 _______
参考答案及解析：
1. 在which前加in，或将which改为where。
在这里which引导限制性从句，修饰先行词the society。
in which 在从句中作状语，当然也可以用关系副词where 引导定语从句，并在从句中作状语，例如：Money is a bottomless sea, in which honor, conscience, and truth may be drowned.
2. 将as 改为than。
3. 将So改为But或者However或者Nevertheless。
因为这里上下文是转折关系。
4. 将about去掉因为explain是及物动词。
5. 将you改为they。
6. 将like改为as因为such as 是固定搭配。
7. 将takes改为gives。
give rise to表示“引起，导致”之意。
8. 将differ改为distinguish。
前者表示“有区别”。
后者表示“区分，找出……的差别。
9. 将others改为other。
这样the other就和上文的one构成固定搭配，表示在两个中“一个……；另外一个……”。
10.将harmful改为harmless，只有这样才可以表达上下文的对比关系。
