Therefore, 改成Nevertheless 改错题出自：George Orwell的《Why I Write》的前两段第1个错误出现在 grew .解析：grow 表成长，如人和动植物的成长。如果要表“长大”就要用短语：grow up。 2 .句中conscience 有如下的释义：1.良心，良知 2.良知 1.良心 2.第三类法庭而consciousness表示1.意识到,知道. 2.意识，觉悟 3.意识状态 4.清醒句子的意思是：我意识到这是在违背我的本性。 3. 第三句考固定搭配：sooner or later 迟早。难点：outrage 违背做动词。 4. 按句子意思作者排行老二家里上面和下面都有个小孩因此加上 middle 5. disagreeing为disagree的ing,意思是“不同意不认同”。改为：disagreeable表 1. 不合意的;不愉快的;讨厌的 2. 难相处的,脾气坏的 6. imaginative 改成 imaginary，解析：imaginative 表示人富有想像力的;富于想像的;有创造力的。而imaginary表示想像中的;虚构的;幻想的如： an imaginary friend 想像中的朋友 7 .literal表“文字的” 改成 literary 指文学作者的文学的志向与野心 8. face sth. 直面某个事实 .不用接介词 in 9. 定语从句，修饰world，有介词要用在which前，不能省略 10. Therefore, 改成Nevertheless句子有转折的意思，作者说他一直沉溺在自己的内心世界，然而童年时代所写的东西数目不多。而非因此，童年所写的东西不多。 2010年3月专八真题：改错部分 So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is, (1) every language appears to be well equipped as any other to say (2) the things their speakers want to say.

英语专八改错部分真题及答案英语专八改错部分真题及答案So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is, every language appears to be as well equipped as any other to say the things its speakers want to say. It may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive peoples or cultures, but that is another matter. Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice or the engraving of Benares brass. But this is not the fault of their language. The Eskimos can speak about snow with a great deal more precision and subtlety than we can in English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of those sometimes miscalled ’primitive’) is inherently more precise and subtle than English. This example does not bring to light a defect in English, a show of unexpected ’primitiveness’. The position is simply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in different environments. The English language would be just as rich in terms for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinction important. Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed part of the Eskimos’ life. For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth century could not talk about motorcars with the minute discrimination which is possible today: cars were not a part of their culture. But they had a host of terms for horse-drawn vehicles which send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens. How many ofus could distinguish between a chaise, a landau, a victoria, a brougham, a coupe, a gig, a diligence, a whisky, a calash, a tilbury,a carriole, a phaeton, and a clarence ?1 be后插入 as;2 their改为its;3 There改为It;4 Whereas改为But;5 further 改为much6 come改为bring;7 similar改为different;8 will改为would;9 as important去掉as;10 the part去掉the。

英语专八真题改错含答案

The grammatical words which play so large a part in Englishgrammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different 1.___from the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which mayseem the most obvious is that grammatical words have“ lessmeaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them 2.___“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. 3.___But this is a rather misled way of expressing the distinction. 4.___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 5.___difference in meaning between “man is vile and” “the man isvile”, yet the is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. 6.___Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably amongthemselves as the amount of meaning they have, even in the 7.___lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been“little words”. But size is by no mean a good criterion for 8.___distinguishing the grammatical words of English, when weconsider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. Apart 9.___from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what somepeople say: we certainly do create a great number of obscurity 10.___when we omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetry ofRobert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.2001改错During the early years of this century, wheat was seen as thevery lifeblood of Western Canada. People on city streets watchedthe yields and the price of wheat in almost as much feeling as if 1.___they were growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasing 2.___favorite topic of conversation.War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketingthe western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative grainselling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange.Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, so farmers could 3.___not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often thatthey sold their wheat soon shortly after harvest when farm debts 4.___were coming due, just to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. 5.___On various occasions, producer groups, asked firmer control, 6.___but the government had no wish to become involving, at 7.___least not until wartime when wheat prices threatened to runwild.Anxious to check inflation and rising life costs, the federal 8.___government appointed a board of grain supervisors to deal withdeliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchangetrading was suspended, and farmers sold at prices fixed by theboard. To handle with the crop of 1919, the government 9.___appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board, with total authority to 10.___buy, sell, and set prices.2002改错There are great impediments to the general use of a standard in pronunciation comparable to that existing in spelling (orthography). One is the fact that pronunciation is learnt‘naturally’ and unconsciously, and orthography islearnt 1.___deliberately and consciously. Large numbers of us, in fact, remain throughout our lives quite unconscious with what our 2.___ speech sounds like when we speak out, and it often comes as a 3.___shock when we firstly hear a recording of ourselves. It is not a 4.___voice we recognize at once, whereas our own handwriting is something which we almost always know. We begin the 5.___‘natural’ learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to read or write, and in our early years we went on unconsciously 6.___ imitating and practicing the pronunciation of those around us for many more hours per every day than we ever have to spend 7.___ learning even our difficult English spelling. This is‘natural’, 8.___therefore, that our speech-sounds should be those of our immediate circle; after all, as we have seen, speech operates as a means of holding a community and giving a sense of 9.___'belonging'. We learn quite early to recognize a‘stranger’,someone who speaks with an accent of a different community-perhaps only a few miles far. 10.___Demographic indicators show that Americans in the postwar period were more eager than ever to establish families. They quickly brought down the age at marriage for both men and women and brought the birth rate to a twentieth century height after more than a hundred (1)__ years of a steady decline, producing the “baby boom.” These young (2)__ adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large families that Went for more than two decades and caused a major (3)__ but temporary reversal of long-term demographic patterns. From the 1940S through the early 1960s, Americans married at a high rate (4)__ and at a younger age than their Europe counterparts. (5)__ Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women on who (6)__ formed families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the (7)__ divorce rate after a postwar peak; their marriages remained intact to a greater extent than did that of couples who married in earlier as well (8)__ as later decades. Since the United States maintained its dubious (9)__ distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world, the temporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same extent in (10)__ Europe. Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner and homemaker was not abandoned.2004改错One of the most important non-legislative functions of the U.S Congressis the power to investigate. This power is usually delegated to committees - either standing committees, special committees set for a specific (1)____purpose, or joint committees consisted of members of both houses. (2)____ Investigations are held to gather information on the need forfuture legislation, to test the effectiveness of laws already passed,to inquire into the qualifications and performance of members andofficials of the other branches, and in rare occasions, to lay the (3)____ groundwork for impeachment proceedings. Frequently, committeesrely outside experts to assist in conducting investigative hearings (4)____and to make out detailed studies of issues. (5)____There are important corollaries to the investigative power. Oneis the power to publicize investigations and its results. Most (6)____committee hearings are open to public and are reported (7)____widely in the mass media. Congressional investigationsnevertheless represent one important tool available to lawmakers (8)____to inform the citizenry and to arouse public interests in national issues.(9)____Congressional committees also have the power to compeltestimony from unwilling witnesses, and to cite for contemptof Congress witnesses who refuse to testify and for perjurythese who give false testimony. (10)____2005年A number of colleges and universities have announced steeptuition increases for next year much steeper than the current,very low, rate of inflation. They say the increases are needed becauseof a loss in value of university endowments heavily investing in common 1 stock. I am skeptical. A business firm chooses the price that maximizesits net revenues, irrespective fluctuations in income; and increasingly the 2 outlook of universities in the United States is indistinguishable from those of 3 business firms. The rise in tuitions may reflect the fact economic uncertainty 4 increases the demand for education. The biggest cost of beingin the school is foregoing income from a job (this is primarily a factor in 5graduate and professional-school tuition); the poor one's job prospects, 6 the more sense it makes to reallocate time from the job market to education,in order to make oneself more marketable.The ways which universities make themselves attractive to students 7 include soft majors, student evaluations of teachers, giving studentsa governance role, and eliminate required courses. 8 Sky-high tuitions have caused universities to regard their students as customers. Just as business firms sometimes collude to shorten the 9 rigors of competition, universities collude to minimize the cost to them of the athletes whom they recruit in order to stimulate alumni donations, so the best athletes now often bypass higher education in order to obtain salaries earlierfrom professional teams. And until they were stopped by the antitrust authorities, the Ivy League schools colluded to limit competition for the best students, by agreeing not to award scholarships on the basis of merit rather than purelyof need-just like business firms agreeing not to give discounts on their best 10 customer.2006年We use language primarily as a means of communication withother human beings. Each of us shares with the community in which welive a store of words and meanings as well as agreeing conventions as 1to the way in which words should be arranged to convey a particular 2 message: the English speaker has in his disposal vocabulary and a 3 set of grammatical rules which enables him to communicate his 4 thoughts and feelings, in a variety of styles, to the other English 5 speakers. His vocabulary, in particular, both that which he uses activelyand that which he recognizes, increases in size as he growsold as a result of education and experience. 6 But, whether the language store is relatively small or large, the systemremains no more, than a psychological reality for tike inpidual, unlesshe has a means of expressing it in terms able to be seen by another 7 member of his linguistic community; he bas to give tile system aconcrete transmission form. We take it for granted rice’ two most 8 common forms of transmission-by means of sounds produced by ourvocal organs (speech) or by visual signs (writing). And these are 9 among most striking of human achievements. 102007年From what has been said, it must be clear that no one canmake very positive statements about how language originated.There is no material in any language today and in the earliest 1 __ _ records of ancient languages show us language in a new and 2 _ emerging state. It is often said, of course, that the language 3 _ ______ originated in cries of anger, fear, pain and pleasure, and the 4 _ necessary evidence is entirely lacking: there are no remote tribes, no ancient records, providing evidence ofa language with a large proportion of such cries 5 _ than we find in English. It is true that the absence of such evidence does not disprove the theory, but in 6_other grounds too the theory is not very attractive. People of all races and languages make rather similarnoises in return to pain or pleasure. The fact that 7such noises are similar on the lips of Frenchmenand Malaysians whose languages are utterly different,serves to emphasize on the fundamental difference 8between these noises and language proper. We maysay that the cries of pain or chortles of amusementare largely reflex actions, instinctive to large extent, 9whereas language proper does not consist of signsbut of these that have to be learnt and that are 10wholly conventional.2008年The desire to use language as a sign of national identity is avery natural one, and in result language has played a prominent ____1____part in national moves. Men have often felt the need to cultivate ____2____a given language to show that they are distinctive from another ____3____race whose hegemony they resent. At the time the United States ____4____split off from Britain, for example, there were proposals thatindependence should be linguistically accepted by the use of a ____5____different language from those of Britain. There was even one ____6____proposal that Americans should adopt Hebrew. Others favouredthe adoption of Greek, though, as one man put it, things wouldcertainly be simpler for Americans if they stuck on to English ____7____and made the British learn Greek. At the end, as everyone ____8____knows, the two countries adopted the practical and satisfactorysolution of carrying with the same language as before. ____9____Since nearly two hundred years now, they have shown the world ____10____that political independence and national identity can be completewithout sacrificing the enormous mutual advantages of a commonlanguage.2009专八改错原题Proofreading & Error Correction:The previous section has shown how quickly a rhyme passesfrom one school child to the next and illustrates the further difference (1)___________ between shcool lore and nursery lore.

Between the ages of about 1__________seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did sowith the conscience that I was outraging my true nature and that 2___________soon or later I should have to settle down and write books. 3___________I was the child of three, but there was a gap of five years 4__________on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight.

I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories andholding conversations with imaginative persons, and I think from 6_________the very start my literal ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of 7________being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with wordsand a power of facing in unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created 8________a sort of private world which I could get my own back for my failure 9________in everyday life. Therefore, the volume of serious — i.e. seriously 10________intended — writing which I produced all through my childhood andboyhood would not amount to half a dozen pages. I wrote my firstpoem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation.2012年专八真题改错部分The central problem of translating has always been whether to translate literally or freely.Theargument has been going since at least the first (1) ______century B.C. Up to the beginning of the 19th century, many writersfavoured certain kind of “free” translation: the spirit, not the letter; the (2) _______sense not the word; the message rather the form; the matter not (3) _______ the manner.This is the often revolutionary slogan of writers who (4) _______wanted the truth to be read and understood. Then in the turn of 19th (5) _______ century,when the study of cultural anthropology suggested thatthe linguistic barriers were insuperable and that the language (6) _______was entirely the product of culture, the view translation was impossible (7) _______ gained some currency,and with it that, if was attempted at all, it must be as (8) _______ literal as possible.This view culminated the statement of the (9) _______extreme “literalists” Walter Benjamin and Vladimir Nobokov.The argument was theoretical: the purpose of the translation, thenature of the readership, the type of the text, was not discussed. Toooften, writer, translator and reader were implicitly identified witheach other. Now, the context has changed, and the basic problem remains. (10) _____2013年Psycho-linguistics is the name given to the study of the psychological processesinvolved in language.

改错练习1.Before 1973, abortion was illegal in America unless the woman's health was threatened・ In March of 1970, Jane Roe, a single woman, instituted this federal action against the District Attorney of the country・ The original idea was that women who truly did not want a baby should not have to have it. _1_ Since pregnacy may be a blessed act when planned or wanted, _2_ forced pregnacy, like any force bodily invasion, is anathema to American values and traditions. As legalized abortion has become an everyday part of American life, a different side to it has emerged out. —3— Where women once were aborting because they did not want a child, the reasons being given now were becoming very different. _4_ Abortion has turned into something that women are being coerced from boyfriends^usbands* unwilling to be fathers, out of fear _5_ of the financial pressure, out of the panic from losing their jobs, out of panic from having to quit the school, or becoming —6— homeless, or out of fear of their parents kicking them out into the street. Abortion for these reasons can lead to problems which develop when a woman is unable to get round her emotional responses _7_ from the trauma of an abortion. There are women who abort and do so completely of her own free will. These women have no _8_ regrets, no remorse, but are happy they had this choice available・ _9—But a growing number of women are speaking up about how abortion effected them adversely. —10—2.Several years ago, we began construction on a new church building・ In the beginning, the workmen dug a big pit in the ground and then they began to pour footings. Footings are cement piers under —1— which the entire building rests. They are crucial to the strength of the finished structure ・ After the foundation hole is dug, the footings must be poured quickly, before the composition of the soil is changed by the wind, air, or water; With a similar way in these brief early _2_ years, parents of young children have the challenging job of lying _3_ the foundation that will support family friendships in later years.Physical affectation and verbal affirmation are necessary in laying _4— a strong foundation for friendship. Hug, hug, hug. Even if you are not —5— raised in a hugging family, hug your kids anyway・ They need the warmth of physical contact and so do you need・ A young child will try to _6_ manipulate and be in the charge・ He will attempt to get his own way. _7_ Since the child may not be consciously trying to control, this is _8_ what he is doing. A wise parent must not permit to happen. —9— When a child respects his parents, he will also respect the others. —10—3.Thirty or forty years ago, when most mothers in the United States didn't have jobs, homes were busier places. Children went to school from 9 A.M to 3 PM. and spent the most of the time in the house under their_1— mother's watchful eyes. Children played, watched TV, and did homework, and while they weren't in the house, —2— they were outside in the front or backyard or playing nearly with other neighborhood children. Though this situation still exists in some communities today, it is becoming rarer and rarer as more and more mothers have work inside the home. These "two-income—3— families11 create a different kind of home— ne that is a place to stop temporarily in the midst of a busy schedule _4— of activities. Because working parents often leave the house by 8 A.M and return at 5 or 6 P.M, children go to school and then a series of highly-programmed after-school activities._5_ So when school lets out for two or three weeks at New Year's time, many parents may face with a troubling situation._6—Some researches show the kind of child-care problem the holidays can have for busy parents- Even in those families _7_ in which the mother is home, there is often many active —8— neighborhood full of children playing since most of the other children are involved in activities. This result from the irony _9_ of both parents and children anxiously look forward to the end—10_ of their vacation.4.Poverty exists because our society is an unequal one^ and there are powerful political pressures to keep it that way. Any attempt to redistributing wealth and in _1_ come in the United States will inevitably be opposed by powerful middle and upper class interests. People can be relatively rich only if you are relatively poor, and as _2_ power is mainly in the hands of the rich, public policies reflect their interests than —3— those of the poor As Mr. Herbert Gans has pointed out, poverty is actually functional from the point of view of the non poor. Poverty ensures that dirty work gets doing. If there _4_ were no poor people to scrub floors and empty bedpans, there jobs will have to be _5_ rewarded with high incomes before anyone would touch them. Poverty creates jobs for many of the non poor, such as police officers, welfare workers, and government bureaucrats. Poverty makes life easier for the rich by providing them with cookers, —6— gardeners, and other workers to perform basic chores when their employers enjoy _7_ more pleasurable activities. Poverty provides a market for more inferior goods and _8_ service, such as day old bread, run down automobiles, or the advice of competent _9_ physicians and lawyers. Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb the costs of change・ It is just that poverty is an inevitable outcome of the American economic system, in which the poor are politically powerless to in fluence or change ・—10—5・ Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, and —butl—few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages・ Now there are many reasons about this, —for2_ some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious・ But 1 suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very () better than they do is that _3much_ they fail to grasp the true name of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it by the right way. Far too many people fail to realize —nature4—that pronounce a foreign language is a skill; one that_pronounce_5— needs careful training of a special kind、and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of himself. _itself6_ I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerning with speaking the—concerned?_ language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher may be prepared to —should8— devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his whole attitude to the subject he should get the student to feel that here is a matter worth of receiving his close ttention.—去掉9— So, there should be occasions where other aspects of English, _when _10_ such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take a secondary place・改错【答案】1l.it——one. it和one用来指代时，it通常用于特指，one通常用于类指。
