University.

The report indicates that 5.6 million infant deaths and 2,000,000 maternal

Deaths could be prevented this year if women chose to have theirs children ____3____

within the safest years with adequate intervals among births and limited their ____4____

This amounts to about half of the 9.8 million infant and 370.000 maternal deaths in developing countries, excluded China, estimated for this year by ____5____

the United Nation’s Children’s Fund and the US Centers for Disease Control

respectably. China was excluded because very few births occur in the high ____6____

risk categories.

pregnancy; pregnancies before the mother is 18 year old; those after the ____9____

mother is 35 years old; pregnancies after four births; and those lesser than ____10____

two years apart.

参考答案及解析:

1 将had used 改为 used。

因为此句是虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反，故条件从句中应使用一般过去时。例如：

Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise. 许多人原本会成为聪明人－如果他们不自以为聪明的话。

2 将publishing改为published

report和publish时逻辑动宾关系，故应使用publish的过去分词短语来修饰report。例如：

Any discovery that we may make, however small, will remain acquired knowledge. 任何可能的发现，不管多么微不足道，都将成为知识宝库中的一部

分。

3 将theirs改为their

4 将among改为between

在两次怀孕期间留出足够的间隔时间，故用between。

5 将过去分词excluded改为介词excluding。

excluding意为“不包括…”

6 将respectably改为respectively

respectively 意为“分别地”，符合句子的意思。而respectably意为“可敬的，值得尊敬地”。

7将evidences改为evidence。

evidence是不可数名词。

8将ill改为illness。

9将year改为years。

10将lesser改为less

“Home, sweet home” is a phrase that express an essential

attitude in the United States. Whether the reality of life in the family house is sweet or no sweet, the cherished ideal of home _____1_____ has great importance for many people.

This ideal is a vital part of the American dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth century European settlers

of American West, was to find a piece of place, build a house _____2_____ for one’s family, and started a farm. These small households were _____3_____

portraits of independence: the entire family- mother, father, children, even grandparents-live in a small house and working together to _____4_____

support each other. Anyone understood the life-and-death importance _____5_____

of family cooperation and hard work. Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, but the ideal of home ownership _____6_____

is just as strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. When U.S soldiers came home before World WarⅡ, for example, _____7_____ they dreamed of buying houses and starting families. But there was _____8_____

a tremendous boom in home building. The new houses, typically in

the suburbs, were often small and more or less identical, but it satisfied _____9_____

a deep need. Many regarded the single-family house the basis of their _____10_____

way of life.

参考答案及解析:

1 将no改为 not

2 将place改为land

place是可数名词，作“地方”讲，而land意为“土地，田地”是不可数名词。例如：

Solitude is a good place to visit but a poor place to stay.

当你偶尔光顾时，独处是一个美妙的境地，但是如果久留，它却是一个糟糕的地方。

There is a vacant piece of land near the house; we can build there.

3 将started改为start

start应使用不定式，以和前面的find，build一致。

4 将working改为work。

work应该用第三人称复数，和live一致。另外，family在这里作“家人”讲，是复数。

5 将anyone改为everyone

这里是要用everyone指每个人，而不是要用anyone泛指。

6 将but删除

7将before改为after

根据上下文判断，这里要表达的是二战之后。

8 将But改为 And

根据语意，这里要表达的是递进关系，而不是转折关系。例如：

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. And that’s my religion.

当我行善事，我感到坦然；当我行恶时，我感到内疚。这就是我的人生之道。

9 将it改为they

10 在house the中间加入介词as

regard…as 作“把……当作……”讲。

We live in a society which there is a lot of talk about science, but I would say _____1_____

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 _____2_____

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 _____3_____

them to explain about the principles of physics that have gone into creating the _____4_____

computer, you don’t have faintest idea. _____5_____

The failure to understand science leads to such things like the neglect of human _____6_____

creative power. It also takes rise to blurring of the distinction between science and _____7_____

technology. Lots of people don’t differ between the two. Science is the production of _____8_____

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. _____9_____

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 _____10_____

new technology, which can be enormous.

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

牵着表示“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。

What is a black hole? Well, it is difficult to answer the question, as the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon __1__

are adequate here. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is __2__

a region of space which matter has fallen and from which nothing can __3__

escape—not even light. But we can’t see a black hole. A black hole __4__ exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only space—or thus we think. How can this happen? __5__

The theory is that some stars explode when their density increases

to a particular point; they “collapse” and sometimes a supernova occurs.

The collapse of a star may produce a “White Dwarf” of a “neutronstar”—

a star which matter is so dense that if continually shrinks by the force of __6___

its own gravity. But if the star is very large, this process of shrinking may

be so intense that a black hole results in. Imagine the earth reduced to the __7__

size of a marble, but still having the same masses and a stronger __8__ gravitational pull, and you have some ideas of the force of a black hole. __9__

And no matter near the black hole is sucked in. __10__

参考答案及解析:

supernova 名词，[天]超新星

1. 将as 改为since或者because。在表示原因的连接词中，只有as引导的原

因状语从句不能位于主句之后，只能位于句首。

2 .将adequate 改为inadequate，或者在are后加not。从逻辑上分析，因为我们拥有的科学术语“不充足”，所以才无法回答这个问题，所以用否定形式。

3. 在which 前加into。这是一个定语从句，意思是“黑洞是太空中物质可以掉进去的地方”，所以定语从句应该为“into which matter has fallen”。

4. 将but 改为 so。上文已提到“连光都无法从黑洞中逃出”，所以我们根本无法看到黑洞。这里应该是因果关系，而不是转折关系。

5 .将thus改为so。这句话的意思是“那只是空间—或者我们认为它只是空间”。so做 think 的宾语，thus 只能做连词，不能做宾语。

6. 将which 改为whose。这个定语从句的意思是“它是一颗星，其密度非常大，由于自身的引力，它在不断地收缩”。matter 属于star，所以关系代词应该用whose。

7 .去掉in。result为不及物动词，意为“形成了”，而“result in sth。”意为“导致某结果”。

8. 将masses 改为mass。mass 可指“大量的物质”，而“the masses”特指

“劳动群众”，用在此处不妥。

9 .将ideas 改为idea。“idea”在表达“印象”时，为不可数名词，不可以用复数。

10. 将no改为any。分析便知，任何在黑洞附近的东西都会被吸进去。

改错题出现的错误经常包括：语法；词汇；语篇

1. 语法包括英语的时态，语态，倒装句，虚拟语气，主，谓，宾在数，格，人称上的一致。

2 .词汇方面，短文改错在用词上的错误主要集中在以下几个方面：

名次单复数，可数名词和不可数名词的差异，形容词与副词，连词与介词的误用，同义词的混淆等。

3. 语篇的改错旨在测试做题者在具体语境上下文中使用语法和词汇的能力。从逻辑的意义上看，句与句之间的关系可以分为顺序，并列，时间，空间，层递，对比，转折，解释，因果，过渡，推论等。最好的做法是先通读全文，结合上下文的逻辑关系回答问题。

The great whales are among the most fascinating creatures which __1__ have ever lived on the earth, and one of them, the blue whale, is the largest. People in ancient times thought whales as fearsome __2__ monsters of the ocean depths. So to hunt a whale, when one occasionally swam toward shore, he was high adventure. People __3__ found the adventure was rewarding, too, for the oil and meat from

one whale alone could heat and feed a village for a whole winter. Whales resemble huge fish. They were referred by the ancients as __4__ “great fish,” and any whale beaching along the coasts of England was designated “the King’s fish” because it automatically belonged to the Crown.

Ever since those early times, human have felt whales a sense of __5__ wonder mixed with an intense desire to capture, slaughter, and exploit. Now the slaughter has reached alarming proportions. __6__ Even though some species are protected by the regulations of

the International Whaling Commission and theoretically all whale hunting is regulated, but the earth’s stock of whales is still being __7__

depleted. In fact, some scientists worry that 100 years since now __8__ there may be no whales left. If this happens, mankind will

be blame for removing from the earth forever a remarkable and __9__ awe-inspiring creature that always fed man’s imagination and __10__ made the world a more exciting place

参考答案及解析:

1. 将which改为that。先行词由最高修饰时定语从句的关系代词只能用that。

2. 在thought 后面加of，或者将thought 改为regarded。“think of A as B”，指“把A看作B”，为固定搭配。

3. 去掉he。这句话的主语是“to hunt a whale”，“to hunt a whale was high adventure”。中间的“when…”只是插入的状语从句。

4. 在referred后加to。“refer to A as B”只“把A称作B”，这句话的意思是“古人把鲸称作大鱼”。

5. 在felt 后加for。这句话实际的结构是“feel a sense of wonder for whales”指“对鲸怀有惊奇的感觉”，for引出对象。

6. 在exploit后加them。capture，slaughter，exploit都是及物动词，后面必须加宾语。

7. 去掉but。前面已有“even though”，后面就不应该再用but。

8 .将since改为from。“100 years from now”指“从现在起100年后”since 只能用于完成时。

9. 在blame前加to。“be to blame for sth ”指“对某事应负责任”，为固定搭配。

10. 在always前加has。这个定语从句强调对现在的影响，很明显应该用完成

时，不能用过去式。

We use language every day. We live in a world of words. Hardly any moment passes with someone talking, writing or reading. Indeed, __1__ languages is most essential to mankind. Our lives increasingly depend on fast and successful use of language. Strangely enough, we know __2__ more about things around us than on ourselves. For example, language __3__ is species specific, that is, it is language that differs human from __4__ animals. However, we do not know yet how exactly we inquire language __5__ and how it is possible for us to perceive through language; nor we __6__ understand precisely the combinations between language and thought, __7__

language and logic, or language and culture; still less, how and when language started. One reason for this inadequate knowledge of language is that we, like language users, take too many things for granted. __8__ Language comes to every normal person so naturally that a few __9__

of us stop to question what language is, much less do we feel the necessity to study it. Language is far more complex than most people have probably imagined and the necessity to study it is far greater than some people may have assured. Linguistic is a branch of science which __10__

takes language as its object of investigation.

参考答案及解析:

1. with 改为 without。”hardy any moment passes without someone…” , 两个否定: without 和hardly，意思是“每一时刻有人……”。

2. fast 前面加the因为fast and successful use 这个词组后边有一个前置词短语 of language 修饰use，所以被修饰的词前面加定冠词。

3. than on ourselves 改为than things on ourselves。在这里比较的是两件事：things around us and things on ourselves(我们周围的事物和我们自身的东西)。第二个things不能省略，否则引起误解。

4. differs 改为distinguishes。语言区分人与动物，differ是不及物动词，后面不能带宾语，只能用介词，如：Man differs from animals in that man possesses language。

5. inquire改为acquire“习得语言”应该是acquire language，名词短语是language acquisition。 Inquire 是“询问”的意思。

6. we前面加上 do 副词nor放在句首表示强调，应用倒装句，一般现在时强调句是在主语前面加助动词 do。

7. combination改为relationships.语言和思维的关系，不是结合；语言和思维的关系是当代语言学研究的重要领域。

8. like 改为as。根据上下文，要表达的意思是“作为语言的使用者”，不是“像语言的使用者”。

9. a 去掉这里是否定的意思：“我们没有多少人……”而不是“我们一些人.….”。

10. assured 改为 assumed. 这句的后半部分意思是“研究语言的必要性比我们想象的要大得多”。Assure译为“确保”；assume译为“假设”或者“想象”的意思。

Whenever you see an old film, even one made as little as

ten years before, you can’t help being strucked by the __1__ appearance of the women taking part. Their hair styles and

make-up look date; their skirts look either too long or too __2__ short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicrous.

The men taking part, on other hand, are clearly recognizable. __3__ There is nothing about their appearance to suggest that

they belong to an entire different age. This illusion is created __4__ by changing fashions. Over the years, the great minority of men __5__ have successfully resisted all attempts to make it change their __6__ style of dress. The same cannot be said for women. Each year,

a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down __7__

on the law and women around the world run to obey. The __8__

decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial. Sometime they decide arbitrarily, that skirts will be short and __9__ waists will be height; hips are in and buttons are out. __10__

参考答案及解析:

1. strucked改为struck或者stricken

过去分词形式有误。strike的过去式是struck，过去分词为struck或者stricken。

2. date改为dated或者outdated

3. on other hand 改为 on the other hand

4. entire改为entirely

副词修饰形容词different，并与different一起修饰age。

5. minority改为majority

从上下文以及常识判断，多半男性成功地抵制了改变他们服装款式的企图，即多年来，男性大服装款式跟女性服饰相比没有多大的变化。

6. it改为them

them指代the great majority of men。

7. fewer改为few

此处没有比较的意味。

8.去掉on

lay down为习语，表示“规定(规则，原则，法规等)”。

9. sometime改为 sometimes。

10. height改为high

形容词作be 的表语。

Demographic indicators show that Americans in the post war 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 __1__

after more than a hundred years of a steady decline, producing the “baby boom.” __2__

These young adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large

families that went for more than two decades and caused a major but

temporary __3__

reversal of long-term demographic patterns. From the 1940s through the early

1960s, Americans married at a high rate and at a younger age than their __4__

Europe counterparts. __5__

Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women who formed __6__

families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the divorce rate after a __7__

postwar peak; their marriages remained intact to a greater extent than did that of __8__

couples who married in earlier as well as later decades. Since the United States __9__

maintained its dubious distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world,

the temporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same extent in Europe. __10__

Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner and homemaker was not

abandoned.

The saga of the White Star liner Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in 1912, carrying more than 1,500 passengers to their death, has been celebrated in print and on film, in poetry and song. But last week what had been legendary suddenly became real. As they viewed videotapes and photographs of the sunken leviathan, millions of people around the world could sense her mass, her eerie quiet and the ruined splendor of a lost age. Watching on television, they vicariously joined the undersea craft Alvin and Jason Jr. (J.J.) as they toured the wreckage of the luxury liner, wandering across the decks past corroded bollards, peering into the officers quarters and through rust-curtained portholes. Views of the railings where doomed passengers and crewmembers stood evoked images of the moonless night 74years ago when the great ship slipped beneath the waves. The two-minute videotape and nine photographs, all in color and shot 12,500ft.under the North Atlantic, were a tiny sample of 60 hours of video and 60,000 stills garnered during the twelve-day exploration. They are released at a Washington press conference conducted by Marine Geologist Robert Ballard, 44, who led the teams from the Wood Hole Oceanographic

He was an old man with a white beard and huge nose and hands. Long before the time during which we will know him, he was a doctor and drove a jaded white horse from house to house through the streets of Winesburg. Later he married a girl who had money. She had been left a large fertile farm when her father died. The girl was quiet, tall, and dark, and to many people she seemed very beautiful. Everyone in Winesburg wondered why she married the doctor. Within a year after the marriage she died. The knuckles of the doctor's hands were extraordinarily large. When the hands were closed they looked like clusters of unpainted wooden balls as large as walnuts fastened together by steel rods. He smoked a cob pipe and after his wife's death sat all day in his empty office close by a window that was covered with cobwebs. He never opened the window. Once on a hot day in August he tried but found it stuck fast and after that he forgot all about it. Winesburg had forgotten the old man, but in Doctor Reefy there were the seeds of something very fine. Alone in his musty office in the Heffner Block above the Paris Dry Goods Company's store, he worked ceaselessly, building up something that he himself destroyed. Little pyramids of truth he erected and after erecting knocked them down again that he might have the truths to erect other pyramids. Doctor Reefy was a tall man who had worn one suit of clothes for ten years. It was frayed at the sleeves and little holes had appeared at the knees and elbows. In the office he wore also a linen duster with huge pockets into which he continually stuffed scraps of paper. After some weeks the scraps of paper became little hard round balls, and when the pockets were filled he dumped them out upon the floor. For ten years he had but one friend, another old man named John Spaniard who owned a tree nursery. Sometimes, in a playful mood, old Doctor Reefy took from his pockets a handful of the paper balls and threw them at the nursery man. "'That is to confound you, you blithering old sentimentalist," he cried, shaking with laughter. The story of Doctor Reefy and his courtship of the tall dark girl who became his wife and left her money to him is a very curious story. It is delicious, like the twisted little apples that grow in the orchards of Winesburg. In the fall one walks in the orchards and the ground is hard with frost underfoot. The apples have been taken from the trees by the pickers. They have been put in barrels and shipped to the cities where they will be eaten in apartments that are filled with books, magazines, furniture, and people. On the trees are only a few gnarled apples that the pickers have rejected. They look like the knuckles of Doctor Reefy’ s hands. One nibbles at them

社会生活类（Passage63～70） Passage63 题材：社会生活类字数：686建议用时：6分钟 From a hillside,Kamal Saadat looked forlornly at hundreds of potential customers,knowing he could not take them for trips in his boat to enjoy a spring weekend on picturesque Oroumieh Lake,the third largest saltwater lake on earth, which now lay encased by solidifying salt.Saadat lamented that he could not understand why the lake was fading away. The long popular lake,home to migrating flamingos,pelicans and gulls,has shrunken by60percent and could disappear entirely in just a few years—drained by drought,misguided irrigation policies,development and the damming of rivers that feed it. Until two years ago,Saadat supplemented his income from almond-and grape-growing by taking tourists on boat tours.But as the lake receded and its salinity rose,he found he had to stop the boat every10minutes to unfoul the propeller—and finally,he had to give up this second job that he'd used to support a five-member family.The visitors were not enjoying such a boring trip,for they had to cross hundreds of meters of salty lakebed just to reach the boat from the wharf. Other boatmen,too,have parked their vessels by their houses,where they stand as sad reminders of the deep-water days.And the lake's ebbing affects an ever-widening circle.

英语专业八级改错（1） It is difficult to think of a nation as an abstract collection of people living on a patch of territory. It is easier to think of as a person. 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.

After the American War of Independence began in 1783, the United __6__States was knownfor "Brother Jonathan". Jonathan was a biblical __7__ name associated with simple people from rural areas, and it seemed fitting since the United States is rural and unsophiscated, and since __8__American considered their type of simplicity a virtue compared to __9__ the wickedness of European cities.

This reminds me of the name cards and invitation

letters of the French people that I saw when I was sojourning in Paris. In writing down those random reminiscences, I believe that they might provide some useful information for us to learn. In Paris, cocktail parties and buffet receptions of different kinds offer great opportunities for making friends. On such occasions, strangers may get to know each other. If they are Asians, they will, very respectfully and with both hands, present their calling cards to their interlocutors before any conversation starts. This seems to be the required courtesy on their part. The French, however, usually are not so ready with such a formality. Both sides will greet each other, and even chat casually about any topic and then excuse themselves. Only when they find they like each other and hope to further the relationship will they exchange cards. It will seem very unnatural to do so before any real conversation gets under way. The French tend to take extraordinary precaution in making their name cards, simple yet elegant. Exquisitely designed and printed, their name cards are seldom golden-framed, or colorfully shiny, or tinted with fragrant smells. The letters which appearing on their name cards tend to be diminutive but beautiful, not allowing the name of the card-bearer t be overly prominent / salient. The entire card leaves much empty space, imparting no sense of over-crowdedness.
