Successful aging is a psychological feat. Fear for __1__
death, for example, may sometimes oppress you.
even when this is successfully overcome, there is still
something for you to deal with-loneliness. Loneliness
can speed your demise no matter conscientiously __2__
you care for your body. “We go through life surrounded
by protective convoys of others,” says Robert
Kahn, a psychologist of the University of Michigan
who studied the health effects of companionship. “People __3__
who manage to maintain a network of social support do
best.” One study of elderly heart-attack patients
found that those with two or more close associations __4__
enjoyed twice the one-year survival rate of those who
were completely alone.
Companionship aside, healthy oldsters seem to
share a knack for managing stress, poison that contributes __5__
measurably to heart disease, cancer and accidents.
Researchers have also been kinked successful aging __6__
to mental stimulation. An idle brain will deteriorate
just as sure as an unused leg, notes Dr. Gene Cohen, __7__
Head of the gerontology center at George Washington
University. But just as exercise can prevent muscle __8__
atrophy, mental challenges seem to preserve both
the mind and the immune system. But what most
impresses researchers who study the oldest old is
his simple drive and resilience. “People who reach 100 __9__
are not quitters,” says Adler of the National Centenarian
A wareness Project. “They share a remarkable ability to
renegotiate life in every turn, to accept the inevitable losses __10__
And move on.”
参考答案及解析:
1.把for改为of与fear搭配的介词通常是of，表示对…的恐惧。
2.在no matter后面加上how
3.在studied前面加上has本文的基调是一般现在时，此句的主语也是现在时，定语从句介绍Roberts做过的研究项目，所以用现在完成时比较合适。
4.把associations改为associates本句的意思是：一项对高龄心脏病人的研究发现，有两个或者两个以上亲密伙伴陪同的病人在一年危险期的幸存几率是完全无人陪伴的病人的两倍。
5.在poison前面加上a不定冠词修饰不可数名词，该名词后面再加上定语成分对该词进一步说明。
6.删除been
7.把sure改为surely
8.把but改为and本句与上一段最后一句在结构(just as)上相似，在意义上是递进关系，不应该用转折连词衔接，用and合适。
9.把his改为their此处的代词应该代替the oldest old，the oldest old 表示一类人可以用单数也可以用复数，但是下文提到这些年事极高的老人都用了复数，所以此处也要改为复数，使上下文一致。
10.把in改为at词组at every turn意思为“时时，经常”。

Why does the idea of progress loom so large in
the modern world? Surely because progress of particu-
lar kind is actually taking place around us and is more
and more manifesting. Although mankind has underg- __1__
one no general improvement in intelligence or morali-
ty, it has made extraordinary progress in the accumu-
lation of knowledge. Knowledge begins to increase as __2__
soon as the thoughts of one individual could be com-
municated to another by mean of speech. With the in- __3__
vention of writing, knowledge could be communicated
and stored. Libraries made education possible, and
education in turn added libraries: the growth of knowl- __4__
edge followed a kind of compound-interest law,
which was greatly enhanced by the invention of print-
ing. All this was comparatively slow until, with the
coming of science, the tempo was suddenly risen. __5__
then knowledge began to be accumulated according to
a systematic plan. However, as soon as new knowl- __6__
edge is acquired, it is now turned to practical ac-
count. 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 __7__
life. The problem now facing humanity is: what is go-
ing to be done with all this knowledge? Like is often __8__
pointed out, knowledge is a two edged weapon which
could be used equally for good or evil. It is now being __9__
used indifferently for both. Could any spectacle, for
instance, be more grimly whimsical than that gunners __10__
using science to shatter men’s bodies while, close at
hand, surgeons use it to restore them.
参考答案及解析：1.把manifesting改为manifestmanifesting不能做形容词,而如果把它理解成现在进行词,后面又缺乏宾语,所以应该改为形容词manifest,表示“显然的,明显的”.
2.把begins改为began根据下一行出现的could可以判断本句是过去时.
3.把mean改为means. by means of 是固定用法.
4.在added后面加上to如果add后面不加to,此句就表示“把图书馆加到某个事物上去”,加上to,表示给图书馆增加了内容,符合句义.
5.把risen改为raised.rise是不及物动词,不能用于被动语态.
6.把However改为Moreover此句的意思是:新知识一经获得,马上就得到实际应用.这是对上文的追加,不存在转折关系,因此应该用moreover.
7.删除but后面的not
8.把Like改为As
9.把could改为can主句为现在时,而从句也不表示虚拟,所以应该用现在时.
10.在that后面加上of.为了避免重复,这里用that指代spectacle,后面的gunner using是that 的内容.因此应该用介词of引出.
专八改错模拟题3
A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,
but, if properly handling, it may become a driving force. When __1__
the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of
the Second World War, it had a market eight times larger than any other
competitor, given its industries unparalleled economies of scale. Its __2__
scientists were the world’s best, its workers the most skilled. America
and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans
and Asians whose economies that the war had destroyed. __3__
It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as
other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably, the retreat from
predominance proved painful. By the mid-1980s Americans found __4__
themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competition. Some __5__
huge American industries, such as consumer electronic, had shrunk __6__
or vanished in the face of foreign competition. Foreign-made cars
and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market and Amer ica’s
machine-tool industry was on the rope. For a while it looked as __7__
though the making of semiconductors, which America had sat at the __8__
heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty.
All of this caused a crisis of confidence. Americans stopped talking
prosperity for grant. They be** to believe that their way of doing __9__
business was failing, and that their incomes would therefore shortly
begin to fall as well. The mid-1980 brought one inquiry after __10__
another into the c auses of America’s industrial decline. Their sometimes
sensational findings were filled with warnings about growing competition
from overseas.
1.handling改为handled.这里handle和主句的主语it是被动关系。
2.given改为giving.动词give 的主语是前面整个分句“it had a market eight times larger than any competitor”，它和give的关系是主动的，所以用giving。
3.去掉that.whose在这里引导关系从句修饰the Europeans and Asians，因此这里不能再出现一个关系代词that了。
4.found前加上had.by引导的时间状语出现在一个句子里，它的主句动词往往是完成体。
https://www.360docs.net/doc/8317308328.html,petition改为competitiveness.fading 在这里表示“日益丧失的”，后面的名词短语应该表示“ 工业竞争力”，而competition表示“竞争”，并不表示“竞争能力”。
6.electronic改为electronics.electronic是形容词表示“电子的”，这里应该用electronics，表示“ 电子装置和组件”
7.rope改为ropes.on the ropes 表示“濒于失败或崩溃”，其中rope是以复数形式出现的，所以应该为ropes。在另一个短语the end of one’s rope，rope则是单数，表示“某人耐心，耐力的限度”。
8.had后面加上which/that这句话里面有两个关系从句，而且一个之中套另一个：which America had 是第一层关系从句，which sat at the heart of the new computer age 是第二层，它们所修饰的都是semiconductors，所以如果看不出两层关系从句就很难找出错误来。
9.grant改为granted.take for granted 是一个短语表示“ 想当然”。
10.mid-1980 改为mid-1980s
专八改错题技巧
专八改错题技巧+经验 改错题采取的避实就虚的原则，应该从根本上解决问题，大量做题未必是件好事，所谓的基本是指语法概念，我们称之为虚的概念，如主谓一致、代词、冠词、副词、分词、逻辑关系、固定搭配、等是最容易出题的地方，学生应该作一写针对语言点、基本功的练习，推荐宫玉波《语言点必备》达到对语言点的敏感程度。改错不难，关键是对语言点的把握，改错就是以一种比较复杂的结构靠一些比较基础的语言点知识。 对于改错这一题型与其他一些形式不同，它需要考生对英语具备相当高的综合运用能力。无论是语法、词汇还是惯用法都能成为改错的对象。考生必须在全面理解短文内容的基础上指出并改正错误，使句子和短文的意思以及句、段的结构正确、完整。这种改错要求考生具有语篇水平（Discourse level）。故此可以说，在某种程度上，它能较清晰地反映出考生的总体英文水平。 另外，该题型的主要特点是，一改传统的句子单位改错，代之以篇章单位的短文形式。这一改革不仅要求考生有更高的阅读理解能力，而且迫使考生摆脱原先较为孤立片面的思维定势，以一种连贯的思路整体的眼光去适应这一新题型。 做题时千万不要拿起来就改。正确的做法是先从头到尾通读全文，在正确理解或大致正确理解甚至在猜想原文的前提下，再仔细推敲需要改正或增添的内容。此时，考生必须充分调动所掌握的语法和词汇两方面的知识，发挥自身领会、推理，判断乃至猜想的能力，并利用以往的学习经验.做起题来才能游刃有余。 找出错误并改正后，还要注意通读全文。从词汇和语法两方面来检查被改正后的短文的意思是否通顺，逻辑概念是否严密合理，结构是否正确，完整。 总而言之，这一题型对于中国考生来讲，难度很大，因为要求考生指出和改正的错误往往是考生在英语学习中常犯和易犯的错误，不易察觉。这就要求考生在学习时不能'知半解、似是而非，而必须十分仔细、认真并多做这类改错练习，而且每次练习都要遵照正确的方法和步骤.久而久之就能容易地发现和改正语病，答对率也会逐步提高，从而会增强信心，考出最佳成绩。 为了能使考生较为彻底地把握解决错误、识别语病的钥匙，为了避免“知其然而不知其所以然”的现象，我们首先从错误类型归类着手，介绍易于记忆的、起关键作用的要点、标记，并以此作为钥匙去开启识别、改正短文的语病之大门。具体地讲，错误类型有以下几种：1.主谓一致；2.动词时态；3.动词语态：主动／被动语态；4.连接词／并列句／从句；5.比较级；6.虚拟语气；7.非谓语动词；8.代词与先行词的一致；9.倒装句语序；10.赘述；11.增添词；12.易混淆的词。

2005年3月21日专业八级考试改错 When I was in my early teens, I was taken to a spectacular show on ice by the mother of a friend. Looked round a the luxury of the 1. rink, my friend’s mother remarked on the “plush” seats we had been given. I did not know what she meant, and being proud of my 2 vocabulary, I tried to infer its meaning from the context. “Plush” was clearly intended as a complimentary, a positive evaluation; that 3. much I could tell it from the tone of voice and the context. So I 4. started to use the word. Yes, I replied, they certainly are plush, and so are the ice rink and the costumes of the skaters, aren’t they? My friend’s mother was very polite to correct me, but I could tell from her 5. expression that I had not got the word quite right. Often we can indeed infer from the context what a word roughly means, and that is in fact the way which we usually acquire both 6. new words and new meanings for familiar words, specially in our 7. own first language. But sometimes we need to ask, as I should have asked for Plush, and this is particularly true in the 8. aspect of a foreign language. If you are continually surrounded by 9. speakers of the language you are learning, you can ask them directly, but often this opportunity does not exist for the learner of English. So dictionaries have been developed to mend the gap. 10.
专八改错技巧总结
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；解决办法：分析定冠词的主语及上下文有无指代；级：分两类错误，第一种是原级用成比较级，比较级用成最高级，反之亦然。有一种除外，是两者比较谁最好，可以用最高级；第二种是意思相反，如most改为least； 连词错误：也分两种，第一种为连词误用，应该表示转折的用成了并列，比如while改为and；第二种为近义词。在不同语境中用However, Nonetheless, 比用but更合适，更合乎语法；（与逻辑关系也有关，看上下文，联系语境） 词性错误：多出现为形容词转变为副词，反之亦然；也有可能是限定，如adv.+adj.+n.，如下所说；形容词改为动词或名词等，多出现在一词多性的情况下； 形容词限定错误：出现在adj.+adj.+n.要知道第1个adj.是限定第2个adj.还是限定n.；若是限定第2个adj.，大多改为副词adv.； 搭配错误：多为介词搭配错误，如in some extent改为to，rely in改为on等；也有搭配词没有给出，需要自己添加，比如define...as； 词义错误：比如：rather than改为other than；（此项比较难） 近义形容词错误：例如：respective, respectable, respectful, respecting, respected；（此项比较难） 缺失：例如the fact 后面直接接了句子，中间缺少that，表明同位关系； 多余：有的地方莫名其妙多出一个词，多为介词，是没有用的； 词义相反：多出现在形容词，需要在前面添加或去掉in-, im-, ir-, un-等否定前缀； 主动被动：分析主语与谓语动词的逻辑关系是主动还是被动，多出现在分句中；

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

英语专八改错突击练习（1） One 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.

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. 英语专八改错突击练习（2） Cities can be frightened places.
