英语改错练习题

You will think about what kind of saving instru- __1__

ment to use or what kind of investment to make. By

putting your money in some kind of savings instrument

or investment, you can set aside small amount of mon- __2__

ey regularly and the money will earn interest or divi-

dends. Interest refers to the amount what your money __3__

earns when it is kept in a savings instrument. Divi-

dends are payments of part of a company?s earnings to

people hold stock in the company. A savings instru- __4__

ment has an “interest rate ” associated with it; this re-

fers to the rate which the money in the instrument in- __5__

creases during a certain period of time. Principal re-

fers to the facial value or the amount of money you __6__

place in the savings instrument on which the interest is

earned.

Every type of savings or investment has some risk

that the return will be less than needed or expected.

Federally insured savings accounts are safe and guar-

anteed up to $100,000 by the U.S. Government.

Therefore, they may have lower interest rates, making __7__

it hard to save large amounts of money for college. __8__

Bonds and stocks often have higher returns than sav-

ings accounts or EE saving bonds but are more riskier. __9__

You can reduce the risks of these kinds of investments

by starting to save early. The earlier we begin the less __10__

money you will have to put aside each month and the

more total savings you will accumulate.

1.把saving改为savings

saving表示“节约的”，和其复数形式savings意义不同。savings的意思是“存款，储蓄”。

2.在small前面加上a a small amount of 表示“少量的”，冠词不可缺。

3.把what改为which或者that

amount在此是先行词，后面是一个定语从句，这个从句显然应该由关系代词that或者which 引导。

4.在hold前面加who 先行词people后面是一个定语从句，因此需要有引导词。

5.在which前面加上at 关系代词which在此引导的同样是一个定语从句，并且在此应该用“介词＋关系代词”这个形式，因为前面的rate往往用于短语at a rate，此处的介词可以提前。

6.把facial改为face 票面价值应是：face value。

7.把Therefore改为However。

此处根据上下文来看，表达的是转折的含义，而不是因果关系。

8.把hard改为harder 这里存在一个隐含的比较，所以应该用hard的比较级形式。

9.删除more，或者把more改为much

riskier本身已经是比较形式了，再加上more是多余的。把more改为much，表示一种程度也可以。

10.把we改为you

第二题将amount改为amounts也是正确的

第四题把hold改为holding也是正确的

a small amount of 和small amounts of 用法的区别

a large（great，good）amount of ＋不可数名词，谓语动词一般用单数；但（large，great，good）amounts of ＋不可数名词，作主语时，谓语动词要用复数。

A large amount of damage ＜has been＞done by the earth quake．

Large amounts of money ＜were＞spent on the bridge．

这就是为什么第二题也可以把amount改为amounts而第八题不用改amount的原因啦.

More people die of tuberculosis than of any other disease caused by a single agent. This has probably been the case in quite a while. During the __1__

early stages of the industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh __2__

deaths in Europe?s crowded cities were caused by the disease. From __3__

now on, though, western eyes, missing the global picture, saw the trouble __4__

going into decline. With occasional breaks for war, the rates of death and

infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily through the 19th and __5__

20th centuries. In the 1950s, the introduction of antibiotics strengthened the

trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were allowed to be imported to __6__

poor countries. Medical researchers declared victory and withdrew.

They are wrong. In the mid1980s the frequency of infections and deaths __7__

started to pick up again around the world. Where tuberculosis vanished, it came __8__

back; in many places where it had never been away, it grew better. The World __9__

Health Organization estimates that 1.7 billion people (a third of the earth?s

population)suffer from tuberculosis. Even when the infection rate was falling,

population growth kept the number of clinical cases more or less constantly at 8 __10__

million a year. Around 3 million of those people died, nearly all of them in poor

countries. tuberculosis n.肺结核antibiotics n.抗生素, 抗生学

1 将in改为for for quite a while 作“相当长时间”讲.

2 将seventh改为seven

3 将were改为was

这个谓语动词的主语是单数短语one in every seven deaths, 因此要使用单数.

4将now 改为then 5将Europe前的the 去掉6 将imported改为exported

根据上下文,应该是向穷国出口抗生素,而不是从这些国家进口抗生素.

7 将are 改为were 8 在vanished 前加had

这里要表达的是“结核病原来消失的地方,又爆发了结核病”,所以要使用过去完成时.

9 将better改为worse 在结合病没有消失的地方,这种病更加严重了,因此要用worse.

10 将constantly改为constant 在“keep sb/ sth adj”结构中的形容词作补语.

One of America?s most important export is her modern music. __1__

American popular music is playing all over the world. It is enjoyed __2__

by people of all ages in all countries. Because the lyrics are English, __3__

nevertheless people not speaking English enjoy it. The reasons for

its popularity are its fast pace and rhythmic beat.

The music has many origins in the United States. Country music,

coming from the suburban areas in the southern United States, is one __4__

source. Country music features simple themes and melodies describing

day-to-day situations and the feelings of country people. Many people

appreciate this music because the emotions expressed by country __5__

music songs.

A second origin of American popular music is the blues. It depicted __6__

mostly sad feelings reflecting the difficult lives of American blacks. It

is usually played and sung by black musicians, but it is not popular with __7__

all Americans.

Rock music is a newer form of music. This music style, featuring

fast and repetitious rhythms, was influenced by the blues and country

music. It is first known as rock-and- roll in the 1950?s. Since then th ere __8__

have been many forms of rock music, hard rock, soft rock, punk rock,

disco music and others. Many performers of popular rock music are

young musicians.

American popular music is marketed to a demanding audience.

Now popular songs are heard on the radio several times a day. Some

songs become popular all over the world. People hear these songs sing __9__

in their original English or sometimes translated into other languages.

The words may coincide but the enjoyment of the music is universal. __10__

1改export为exports

export作可数名词时指出口商品,同时根据one of 结构也可以知道这里export要用复数结构.

2 改playing为played

动词play和句子主语American popular music是逻辑动宾关系,必须用被动语态.

3 改Because为Though或者Although 此句为让步状语从句.

4 改suburban为rural 这里属于词义用错,suburban为城市郊区,乡村音乐显然来自乡村地区.

5 改because为because of

6 改depicted为depicts

本句错在时态.句意为“blues大多抒发哀伤情感,反映美国黑人的艰难生活.”为与全文主导时态一致,不能用过去时.此外,blues现在的风格依旧,故用现在时.

7 将not去掉.

8 改is为was 此句有过去时间状语in the 1950?s, 陈述过去的一个事实,故用一般过去时态.

9 改sing为sung

sung 引导过去分词短语作宾语补足语,表被动意思.

10 改coincide为differ（在may后加not也可以）

此句含有连词but,整个句意含有转折语气.

Planning is a very important activity in our lives. It can give

pleasure, even excitement, and it can cause quite severe headaches. __1__

The most significant the task ahead, the more careful the planning __2__

required. Getting to school or to work on time is a task requiring few __3__

or no planning, it is almost routine. A month?s touring holiday abroad,

or better still, getting married, is a different matter altogether. If the

matter involve a church wedding, a reception, a honeymoon in Venice, __4__

and returning a new home, this requires even more planning to make __5__

sure that it is successful. Planning is our way of trying to ensure success

and of avoiding costly failures we can not suffer. It is equally essential __6__

to individual nations and families; the scale may be vary, but the degree __7__

of importance does not. In the essence, a nation planning its resources __8__

and needs do not differ from the familiar weekly shopping or monthly __9__

household budget. Both are designed to ensure an adequate supply of

essentials, and if improperly carried out, will avoid shortages, wastage __10__

and over-expenditure.

1 将and 改为or or表示“或者”，因为前后是两种截然不同的可能性，所以应该用or。

2 将most改为more

3 将few改为little

4 将involve 改为involves 因为主语the matter 为单数，例如：

Although planning involves material investment, even more important is the investment in man.

虽然作机会应该包括物资投资，但最重要的是对人的投资。

5 在returning后加介词to

6 将suffer改为afford

7 去掉be。

vary是动词，可与助动词或者情态动词构成谓语，也可以独立构成谓语，例如：

The weather varies from hour to hour in some mountain districts.

8 去掉the in essence 是固定习语，意为“本质上，实质的"

9 将do改为does主语是动名词复合结构a nation planning its resources and needs, 应视为单数，例如：Looking after children requires patience.

10 将improperly改为properly.

Tracing missing persons can take much patient detective work. But a special kind of “private eye” can trace the missing ancestors of whole peoples by

studying the clues buried by words. __1__

These philologists, such as the language detectives are called, have traced __2__

the word trail back from peoples in Europe, India, South Africa, the Americas,

and the Pacific islands in a tiny nameless, and forgotten tribe that roamed central __3__

Eurasia 5000 to 6000 years ago, before the dawn of writing history. __4__

Since a long time scholars have been puzzled over the striking __5__

difference of words in different languages. In Dutch, vader; in Latin, pater;in __6__

old Irish, athir; in Persian, pidar;in the Sanskrit of distant India, pitr.

These words all sounded likely and meant the same thing—“father” __7__

Where did it happen that widely separated peoples used such __8__

close related sound symbols? The problem baffled linguists for years. The more so __9__ because “father” was but one of a host of such coincidences. Towards the end

of the 18 century it dawned on scholars that perhaps all these words stemmed __10__

from some common language.

1. 将by改为in (be) buried in 意思为“被…所掩盖,掩蔽于…”

2. 将such去掉在这里as是连词,引导状语从句.

3. 将第一个and改为to (这个句子长,小心上当呀)

以便和前文的from构成搭配“from…to…”,表示“从……到……”.

4. 将writing改为written` “有文字记载的历史”英语为“written history”.

5. 将Since改为For

因为since做介词, 表示“自从……起” 之意时,后面一般不跟表示一段时间的名词.

6. 将difference改为similarity

从后面的例子我们可以看出,作者在这里讲述的是文字的惊人的相同之处,而不是不同之处.

7. 将likely改为alike likely 意思为“很可能的”,不做“相同的,相似的”解.

8. 将where改为why 这里不是问地点而是问原因,从后面的because也可以看出.

9. 将close改为副词closely 因为形容词close不能修饰过去分词related.

10. 将18改为18th. The more so beca use “father” was but one of a host of such coincidences.这句话的the more so because是什么意思呢, 以为人家出版社错了,不过看两本资料都这么写. 有谁看得懂么?还是说真的是出错了. 原来the more so because意思为: 更何况.

Why does the idea of progress loom so large in the modern world? Surely because progress of particular 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 accumulation 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.

1.把manifesting改为manifest manifesting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没主句为现在时,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.

The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammar are for

the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. A rough

and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical __1__

words have “less meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them __2__

“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this is a rather __3__

misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like the is not the name __4__

of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a __5__

sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile” and “the man is vile”, yet the

is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words __6__

differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in __7__

the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been “little words.”

But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words.” __8__

of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. __9__

Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say:

we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This is __10__ illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams

and newspaper headlines.

1 删掉the

此处的most并不表示obvious的最高级，而是用作副词修饰obvious，表示程度很高，因此前面不能加the。

2 将but改为and 根据文章的意思，这里要用并列关系的and。

3 将in改为toas apposed to 是固定搭配，意思是“与……相比”。

4 将misled改为misleading

5删掉away此处考查固定用法。far from being...意思为“远非”“远远不怎么样”，符合这里的意思。而far away from 表示离某处很远。

6 将single改为only或者sole这里要表达“唯一的”。

7 在as后面加to或者将as 改为in 联系上下文，此处的意思是“grammatical words 本身在某某方面也有相当的差异，”as to 有“关于”或者“在某某方面的意思”；将as改为in，用differ from something in…也可表达这个意思。

8 将mean改为means 9 将as改为like，或者在as前面加such

10 将number改为deal或者amount obscurity是不可数名词，不能用a number of 来修饰

When a human infant is born into any community in any part of the world it has two things in common with any infant, provided neither of them __1__

have been damaged in any way either before or during birth. Firstly, and most __2__ obviously, new born children are completely helpless. Apart from a powerful

capacity to pay attention to their helplessness by using sound, there is nothing __3__

the new born child can do to ensure his own survival. Without care from some

other human being or beings, be it mother, grandmother, or human group, a

child is very unlikely to survive. This helplessness of human infants is in marked

contrast with the capacity of many new born animals to get on their feet within __4__

minutes of birth and run with the herd within a few hours. Although young

animals are certainly in risk, sometimes for weeks or even months after birth, __5__

compared with the human infant, they very quickly develop the capacity to

fend for them. __6__

It is during this very long period in which the human infant is totally

dependent on the others that it reveals the second feature which it shares with all __7__

other undamaged human infants, a capacity to learn language. For this reason,

biologists now suggest that language be “ species specific” to the human race, __8__

that is to say, they consider the human infant to be genetic programmed in __9__

such way that it can acquire language. This suggestion implies that just __10__

as human beings are designed to see three-dimensionally and in color and just

as they are designed to stand upright rather than to move on all fours, so they

are designed to learn and use language as part of their normal development as

well-formed human beings.

1 在any infant 中间加other

在比较一物与他物,一人与他人的异同时,必须从比较对象中排除该物或该人.

2 将have改为has 该谓语动词的主语为neither,所以要使用单数形式.

3 将pay改为draw/call/attract/elicit 这里要表达的是“引起注意”.

4 将on改为to get/ rise/ spring to one?s feet 作“起身,站起来”将.

5 in risk 改为in danger 或者at risk

6 将them 改为themselves

根据上下文,我们可以看出,这里需要一个代词来作fend for 的宾语.

7 删除定冠词the 8 将be 改为is

在这里suggest 作“认为,提出看法,暗示说”讲,不作“建议”讲, 因此,不可使用虚拟语气.

9 讲genetic改为genetically 这里副词genetically 修饰过去分词programmed.

10 在such way 中间加入a 名词way为可数名词单数,因此前面要使用不定冠词.

For the last fifteen or twenty years the fashion in criticism or appreciation of the arts have been to deny the existence of any valid criteria and to make the __1__

words “good” or “bad” irrelevant, immaterial, and inapplicable. There is no such thing, we are told, like a set of standards first acquired through experience and __2__

knowledge and late imposed on the subject under discussion. This has been a __3__

popular approach, for it relieves the critic of the responsibility of judgment and the

public by the necessity of knowledge. It pleases those resentful of disciplines, it __4__

flatters the empty-minded by calling him open-minded, it comforts the __5__

confused. Under the banner of democracy and the kind of quality which our

forefathers did no m ean, it says, in effect, “Who are you to tell us what is good

or bad?” This is same cry used so long and so effectively by the producers of mass __6__

media who insist that it is the public, not they, who decide what it wants to hear __7__

and to see, and that for a critic to say that this program is bad and that program

is good is pure a reflection of personal taste. Nobody recently has expressed this __8__ philosophy most succinctly than Dr. Frank Stanton, the highly intelligent __9__

president of CBS television. At a hearing before the Federal Communications

Commission, this phrase escaped from him under questioning: “One man?s mediocrity __10__

is another man?s good program”.

1. 将have改为has 该句的主语the fashion是单数.

2. 将like改为as such as 是固定搭配.

3. 将late改为later later和上文first对应.

4. 将by改为of或者from

relieve sb of/ from sth 是固定搭配, 意思为“减轻某人(的负担等)”

5. 将him改为them

因为其先行词为the empty-minded,而“the+adj/p.p” 表示一类人时,通常表示复数概念.

6. 在same前加the the same 表示“唯一,独一无二”的概念,因此必须加定冠词.

7. 将decide改为decides

该句的主语the public 表示的是单数概念.,这一点从后面的代词it 可以看得出来.

8. 将pure改为purely 在这里purely作状语,修饰谓语动词,因此应使用副词.

9. 将most改为more more than 搭配,引导出比较状语从句.

10. 将from去掉escape在作“被某人情不自禁地说出来”讲时,是及物动词,而只在作“逃跑”讲时,才时不及物动词.

During the early years of this century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat in almost as much feeling as if they were growers. The marketing of wheat __1__

became an increasing favorite topic of conversation. __2__

War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop.

For years, farmers mistrusted speculative grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn,

so farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that __3__

they sold their wheat soon shortly after harvest when farm debts were coming due, __4__

just to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producers __5__ groups asked firmer control, but the government had no wish to become __6__

involving, at least not until wartime when wheat prices threatened to run wild. __7__

Anxious to check inflation and rising life costs, the federal government appointed __8__

a board of grain supervisors to deal with deliveries from the crops of 1917

and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended, and farmers sold at prices

fixed by the board. To handle with the crop of 1919, the government appointed __9__

the first Canadian Wheat Board, with total authority to buy, sell, and set prices. __10__

1. 将in改为with

2.将increasing改为incresingly

3.将so改为but

4. 删掉soon或者shortly

5. 将just改为only

6.在asked 后面加上for

7.将involving改为involved 8.将life改为living 9.删掉with或将handle改为deal 10. 将total改为full/complete/absolute/overall.

Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewing biologically, the modern footballer is revealed as a member of a disguised __1__

hunting pack. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is inaccurate and he scores a goal, __2__

enjoys the hunter?s triumph of killing his prey. __3__

To understand how this transformation has taken place we

must briefly look up at our ancient ancestors. They spent over a million __4__

year evolving as co-operative hunters. Their very survival depended on success __5__

in the hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even if their __6__

bodies, became radically changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers,

aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They co-operate as skillful male-group __7__

attackers.

Then, about ten thousand years ago, when this immensely long formative __8__

period of hunting for food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence,

so vital to their old hunting life, were put to a new use—that of penning, __9__

controlling and domesticating their prey. The food was there on the farms,

awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of farming were no longer __10__

essential for survival.

1. 将viewing改为viewed 非谓语动词view和句子的主语是逻辑动宾关系。

2 .将inaccurate改为accurate

如果真的目标不准确，也就不可能进球了（he scores a goal）。

3 .在enjoys前面加he 由于前面if his aim is accurate and he scores a goal 是条件状语从句，因此可见这里是主句，主句的主语he是不可以省略的。

4 .将look up at的up省略

5 .将year变为复数

6 .将if去掉

7 .将co-operate 改为co-operated 8 .将when改为after

9.将were改为was 该谓语动词的主语是Their improved intelligence，是单数。

10. 将farming改为hunting 纵观全文，在从事种植业后，“狩猎”而不是“农耕”的危险和不确定性对人们的生存已经不再那么重要了。

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 __1__

is learnt deliberately and consciously. Large numbers of us, in fact, remain throughout our lives quite unconscious with what our speech sounds __2__

like when we speak out, and it often comes as a shock when we __3__

firstly hear a recording of ourselves. It is not a voice we recognize at once, __4__

whereas our own handwriting is something which we almost always know. We __5__

begin the …natural? learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to

read or write, and in our early years we went on unconsciously imitating and __6__

practicing the pronunciation of those around us for many more hours per every __7__

day than we ever have to spend learning even our difficult English spelling.

This is … natural?, therefore, that our speech-sounds should be those of our im- __8__

mediate circle; after all, as we have seen, speech operates a means of holding a

community and to give a sense of …belonging?. We learn quite early to recognize a __9__…stranger?, someone who speaks with an accent of a different community—perhaps

only a few miles far. __10__

1. 将and改为whereas/but/yet

2. 将with改为of unconscious of 是固定搭配。

3. 删掉out speak out 意思为“大胆地说”，“大声地说”，与此处意思不符。

4. 将firstly改为first

5. 将which改为that或者将which删掉。限制性定语从句前面的先行词是something，因此要用that引导定语从句。也可以将which删掉，不用任何引导词。

6. 将went改为go

7. 删掉per或者every

8. 将This改为It

It在此处做形式主语，后面的that从句是真正的主语。

9. 在community后面加together 此处的大意为“语音是把社区团结在一起的工具”。

10. 将far改为away “只有几英里远”应是a few miles away。

The hunter-gatherer tribes that today live as our prehistoric human __1__

ancestors consume primarily a vegetable diet supplementing with animal foods __2__

An analysis of 58 societies of modern hunter-gatherers, including the Kung of southern Africa, revealed that one-half emphasize gathering plants foods, one-third concentrate on fishing, and only one-sixth are primarily hunters,

Overall, two-thirds and more of the hunter-gatherer?s calories come from __3__

plants. Detailed studies of the Kung by the food scientists at the University

of London, showed that gathering is a more productive source of food

than is hunting. An hour of hunting yields in average about 100 edible __4__

calories, as an hour of gathering produces 240. __5__

Plant foods provide for 60 percent to 80 percent of the Kung diet, and no __6__

one goes hungry when the hunt fails. Interestingly, if they escape fatal infections

or accidents, these contemporary aborigines live to old ages despite of the absence __7__

of medical care. They experience no obesity, no middle-aged spread, little

dental decay, no high blood pressure, no heart disease, and their blood

cholesterol levels are very low (about half of the average American adult). __8__

If no one is suggesting that we return to an aboriginal life style, we certainly __9__

could use their eating habits as a model for healthier diet. __10__

1. 将as 改为like 此处的意思是“像史前人类祖先那样生活”。

2. 将supplementing改为supplemented

supplemented 修饰diet，可以看作which is supplemented with animal foods的简化形式。3. 将and 改为or 4. 将in改为on on average 是固定用法。

5. 将as 改为while或者whereas

6. 删掉for，或者将provide改为account 此处provide 是及物动词，后面不用介词for

7. 删掉第一个of despite 做介词，后面直接接名词。

8. 在half后加that that 指代前面的blood cholesterol levels，不能省略，因为这里是将部落成员的胆固醇含量与美国人的胆固醇含量相比较。

9.将if改为whereas或者while 此处意思为“尽管没有人……,但是……”，是转折关系。

10.在for后面加不定冠词a。

Classic Intention Movement

In social situations, the cla ssic Intention Movement is “the

chair-grasp”. Host and guest have been talking for some time, but now the host has an appointment to keep and can get away. His urge __1__

to go is held in cheek by his desire not be rude to his guest. If he did __2__

not c are of his guest?s feelings he would simply get up out of his chair __3__

and to announce his departure. This is what his body wants to do, __4__

therefore his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him __5__

raise. It is at this point that he performs the chair-grasp Intention __6__

Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leans

forward and grasps the arms of the chair as about to push himself upwards. __7__

This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not __8__

hesitating, it would only last the fraction of the second. He would lean, __9__

push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He

holds his “readiness-to-rise” post and keeps on holding it. It is as if his __10__

body had frozen at the get-ready moment.

1. 将can改为must 根据上下文的意思“主人有一个约会，必须离开”是客观要求，而不是“能不能”或者“可不可以”的问题。

2. not后面加to desire 后应该加动词不定式to do something。

3. 将of 改为about

care about意思为“对…在意，在乎”，而care of 意思为“转交”

（觉得还可以直接去掉of，care 本身也有在乎的意思，可是答案不这么写，你怎么看嘞？）4. 删掉and或者to。 5. 将therefore 改为yet或but这两部分之间应是转折的关系。

6. 将raise改为rise raise 是及物动词，后面必须加宾语，而且在此与文章意思不符。rise意为“起身”，“站起来”，符合文义。

7. 在as 和about之间加上if或者though 此处的意思是主人身子往前倾，双手抓着椅子，好像就要站起来一样。as if/ though to do something 意思为“仿佛要做什么事情”。

8. 将make改为perform或do 此处考查搭配问题，动词make与前面的act不能搭配。

9.将the改为a a fraction of a second 意思为非常短暂的时间。

10. 将post改为posture

Most people would describe water like a colorless liquid. They __1__

would know that in very cold conditions it becomes a solid called

ice and that when heating on a fire it becomes a vapor called steam. __2__

However, water, they would say, is a liquid. We have learned that water consists of molecules composed with two atoms of hydrogen __3__

and one atom of oxygen, which we describe by the formula H2O.

This is equally true of the solid called ice and the gas called steam.

Chemically there is no difference between the gas, the liquid, and

the solid, all of which is made up of molecules with the formula H2O. __4__

This is true of other chemical substances; most of them can exist as

gases or as liquids or as solids. We may normally think of iron as a

solid, but if we will heat it in a furnace, it will melt and become a __5__

liquid, and at very high temperatures it will become a gas. Nothing

very permanent occurs when a gas changes into a liquid or a solid.

Everyone knows that ice, which has been made by freezing water,

can be melted again by warmed and that steam can be condensed __6__

on a cold surface to become liquid water. In fact, it is only because

water is so a familiar substance that different names are used for __7__

the solid, liquid and gas. Most substances are only familiar with __8__

us in one state, because the temperatures requiring to turn them __9__

into gases are very high, or the temperatures necessary to turn them

into solids are so low. Water is an exception in this respect, which

is another reason why its three states have given three different names. __10__

1. 改like为as describe sth as sth 是把……描述成……的意思。

2. 改heating为heated 在时间，条件，让步等状语从句中，当从句主语和主句主语是一致的时候，可以将从句的主语和be的变化形式省略。

3. 改with为of be composed of 意思为“包括，由……组成”

4. 改is made up 为are made up

which 指代上文中的the gas，the liquid，and the solid，表示复数概念，所以要用are

5. 将第一个will去掉在时间条件状语从句和条件状语从句中要用现在时表示将来时。

6. by改为when when warm 相当于when it is warmed

7. 改so为such 8. 改with为to

短语familiar to 后面才能接“某人” familiar with 是接sth

9. 改requiring为required

过去分词短语作后置定语时，和被修饰的名词时逻辑动宾关系。

10. have 后加been 动词give和主语three states 是动宾关系

Artists use caricature to distort the human face or figure for comic affect, __1__

while at the same time capturing an identifiable likeness and suggests the essence __2__

of the personality or character beneath the surface. The humor lies in the fact __3__

the caricature is recognizable, and yet exaggerated.

From their origin in Europe as witty sketches, caricature grew through __4__

the eighteenth and nineteenth century, becoming enormously popular in __5__

the United States early in this century. In 1920s and 1930s especially,

this lively form of illustration was appeared in newspapers and __6__

magazines throughout the country. The caricaturists in this era drew his __7__

portraits of important figures primary to entertain. In spirit their work was __8__

close to the humor of the fast-developing comic strip and gag cartoon than to the __9__

string of political satire. Their subjects were more often amusing than offended __10__

by amiable attacks.:

1. 将affect改为effect affect是动词。effect是名词。

2. 将suggests改为suggesting

这是一个以while引导的从句，其中suggest应该与capturing并列。

3.在fact后面加上that 因为引导同位语从句的关系词不可以省略。

4. 将their改为its 这里its指代单数名词caricature

5. 将century改为复数形式

6. 将was省略appear是不及物动词，不应用于被动语态。

7. 将his改为their 这里指代复数名词the caricaturists

8. 将primary改为primarily primarily在这里做状语，修饰不定式短语

9. 将close改为比较级形式closer 从后面的连词than，可以看出，这里使用了比较状语从句

10. 将amusing改为amused

主语subject（受攻击的人）和amuse的逻辑关系是动宾关系，应使用过去分词形式。

A great many cities are experiencing difficulties which are nothing new in the history of cities, except in their scale. Some cities have lost their

original purpose and have not found new one. And any large or rich city is __1__

going to attract poor immigrants, who flood in, filling with hopes of __2__

prosperity which are then often disappointing. There are backward towns on the

edge of Bombay or Brasilia, just as though there were on the edge of __3__

seventeenth-century London or early nineteenth-century Paris. This is new is __4__

the scale. Descriptions written by eighteenth-century travelers of the poor of

Mexico City, and the enormous contrasts that was to be found there, are very __5__

dissimilar to descriptions of Mexico City today—the poor can still be numbered __6__

in millions.

The whole monstrous growth rests on economic prosperity, but behind it lies __7__

two myths; the myth of the city as a promised land, that attracts immigrants __8__

from rural poverty and brings it flooding into city centers, and the myth of the __9__

country as a Garden of Eden, which, a few generations late, sends them flood __10__

-ing out again to the suburbs.

1. 在new one前加a 这里one指代上下文中的可数名词purpose，因此该词前要有限定词。

2. 将filling改为filled 在这里，非谓语动词fill与句子的who（poor immigrants）之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此要使用过去分词来表示被动意义。

3. 去掉though

4. 将this改为what

根据句子结构，我们可以看出这里需要一个关系代词，它既能引导主语从句，同时也可以在从句中作主语，这个关系代词就是what。如：

What I like in a good author is not what he says，but what he whispers。

5. 将was改为were that引导定语从句，其先行词是descriptions…and the enormous contrasts,因此谓语动词be要用复数。

6. 将dissimilar 改为similar 这里要表示的是“共同，相似”之处。

7.将lies 改为lie

behind it lie two myths 是个倒装句，主语为two myths，可见谓语动词要使用复数。

8. 将that改为which 这里是一个非限制性定语从句，因此不可用that，而要用which。

9. 将it改为them 复数名词immigrants的代词，所以要用复数形式。

10. 将late改为later

When you start talking about good and bad manners you immediately start meeting difficulties. Many people just cannot agree what they mean. We asked a lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person on the __1__

way they occupied the space around them—for example, when such a person walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of others. Such people never __2__

bump into other people.

However, a second person thought that this was more a question of civilized behavior as good manners. Instead, this other person told us a story, __3__

it he said was quite well-known, about an American who had been invited __4__

to an Arab meal at one of the countries of the Middle East. The American __5__

hasn?t been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had __6__

known about American food, he might have behaved better. __7__

Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to

him, very much as a napkin. Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that __8__

it falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, __9__

said of nothing, but immediately copied the action of his guest. __10__

And that, said this second person, was a fine example of good manners.

1.将on改为by。“by the way”作“根据……方式”讲。

2. 将unaware改为aware

根据下文中的“Such a person never bump into other people”判断，这种人不会“目中无人”。3. 将as改为than

“more + adj/of + n + than”是固定搭配。

4. 将it改为which

which在此引导一个非限制性定语从句，which在从句中作主语，需要注意的是，在从句中he said是插入语。

5. 将at改为in

名词the country前要用介词in。

6. 将hasn?t改为hadn?t

根据上下文我们可以看出这里需要使用过去完成时。

7. 将American改为Arab。根据上文，我们可以看出，这里讲述的是赴“阿拉伯”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事，而不是赴“美国”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事。

8. 将as 改为like

介词as意思为“作为”，like意思为“像”。

9. 将falls改为fell

这里要使用一般过去时。

10. 将第一个of删掉。

say作为及物动词，后面可直接跟名词作宾语。

高考英语专题短文改错二十篇1-20(附答案)

1. Three friends and I was driving on a highway. While we were going at least 50 miles per hour, we passed over a car. It had broken down, stopped on the side of the road. My friend slows down, and pulled behind the other car. He got out of the car immediate and before I knew it he was helping the other person push the car down the road to a spot where wasn’t so close to the passing cars. From the way they were pushing the car, it looked as if my friend was pushing them all by himself. I thought my friend help a complete stranger like this was a great thing, but I won’t forget his good nature or character. 2. Dear Brad, I’m very glad to hear from you. In your last letter you ask about the post-80s in China. Actually I am the boy who belongs to this group. Comparing with our parents, life for us is getting much hard. The job market is tough and the house is expensively to afford. Now many girls prefer to marry with a man who owns a house and a car. Therefore, I don’t think love built on house and cars is true love, and I doubt how long it will last. As a matter of fact, though situations are tough today, a lot of we post-80s are making great efforts live a good life. I believe we will have a nice future. Li Hua 3. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, Some of us are having problems about our parents, as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries. I fully understand why we are comfortable about it, but it is no need to feel too sadly. Our parents are checking in our bags or diaries to make sure we’re not getting into troubles. They have probably heard of some horrible stories about other kids and thinking we might do the same. Or perhaps they just want to connect with us and are doing it all wrong. My suggestion is: Tell them we want them to trust us as many as we’d like to trust them. If you don’t think you can talk to them, write them a letter and leave it lie around --- they are bound to read it. Thank you!

My work is very 8. __________ interested, and there are so many things I don’t know 9. __________ about China that I hope to discover it in the future. 10. ________ 【答案解析】 1. 将come改为been。come是终止性动词，不与时间段连用。 2. 将ask改为asking。现在分词作伴随状语。 3. 在when前加and。when引导的从句与how long引导的从句是两个并列的宾语从句(作asking的宾语)。 4. 将of改为to。在answer, key, way, entrance等名词后，习惯上用介词to。 5. 在return前加will。这是将来时。注意：不要误以为when引导的是时间状语从句，用一般现在时代替将来时。事实上，when引导的是宾语从句。 6. 去掉back或将return改为go。因为return=go back。 7. 此行正确。 8. 将travel改为traveling。因为traveling与meeting并列，作enjoy的宾语。 9. 将interested改为interesting。表示某事物“令人……的”用-ing形容词;-ed 形容词则表示某人“感到……的”。 10. 将it改为them。因为此处是指many things。 练习二： Mary is my best friend.
