【题一】Many common English words such as shampoo, pajamas and bungalow were first used on the Indian sub-continent and have its origins in the Hindi language.

(A) Many common

(B) such as

(D) its origins

(E) No error

【答案】D

解析：The error in this sentence occurs at (D), where there is a pronoun agreement error. The singular possessive pronoun "its" does not agree with the plural noun to which it refers, "words," and should, therefore, be replaced with the appropriate plural possessive pronoun, "their."（这个句子中的错误发生在（D），代名词一致性错误。单数使用的代词“its”与它所指的多数名词不一致，即“words”，因此应该用适当的复数所有格代词“它们”代替。）

【题二】New analyses of a fossil suggest winged insects having possibly emerged as early as 400 million years ago.

(A) suggest winged insects having possibly

(B) suggest that winged insects may have

(D) that suggests winged insects as having possibly

(E) that suggest winged insects to have possibly

【答案】B

解析：Choice (B) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by replacing the awkward and wordy "suggest winged insects having possibly" with the more precise and idiomatic "suggest that winged

insects may have."(选择(B)是正确的。把“suggest winged insects having possibly”，改为了更精确的“suggest that winged insects may have。”)。而且没有改变句子的原意。

【题三】When people gave up the hunter-gatherer way of life and began to cultivate the soil and grow their food, they often became less mobile, built more substantial residences, and they developed more effective means of storage.

(A) When

(B) became less mobile

(D) more effective means

(E) No error

【答案】C

解析：The error in this sentence occurs at (C), where there is a flaw in parallelism. The pronoun "they" should be removed so that the sentence contains three parallel verbs ("became," "built," and "developed").（这个句子中的错误发生在(C)，在并行性中存在一个缺陷。代词“they”应该被删除，以便这个句子包含三个并行的动词(“became”，“built”，“developed”)。）

【题四】In Costa Rica, coffee, from the highlands, and bananas, produced mainly in the Caribbean lowlands, as the most important crops, they account for nearly half the total value of all exports.

(A) as the most important crops, they account

(B) as the most important crops, which account

(D) are the most important of their crops by accounting

(E) have been the most important crops, which accounts

【答案】C

解析：Choice (C) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by providing a main verb ("are") to agree with the subject of the sentence, "coffee … and bananas."（选择（c）是正确的。它通过提供一个主动词（“are”）与句子的主语，“coffee ……and bananas”相一致。）

【题五】The Sun has been shining for nearly five billion years and is thought that it has sufficient thermonuclear fuel in its core to shine for about another five billion.

(A) nearly

(B) that it has

(D) for about

(E) No error

【答案】B

解析：The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where there is awkward and unidiomatic phrasing. The awkward "that it has" should simply be "to have."（这个句子中的错误发生在（B），那里存在不准确措辞。“that it has”应该只是“to have”。）

【题六】Although the conference speakers disliked one another and might have been expected to -------, it turned out that on several substantive issues they were in complete ------- and were able to avoid petty squabbling.

(A) argue . . disagreement

(B) bristle . . apathy

(D) concur . . denial

(E) bicker . . accord

【答案】E

解析：Choice (E) is correct. Bickering is the kind of petulant or peevish arguing to which personal dislike might have led the speakers, but their “accord,” or agreement, on substantive issues kept them from squabbling.(选项（E）是正确的。争吵是一种令人petulant或peevish的，可能会导致发言者个人不喜欢，但他们在实质性问题上的“accord”或agreement使他们不再争吵。)

【题七】Digital technology, like every marketer knows, it is synonymous with speed, precision, and the future.

(A) technology, like every marketer knows, it is

(B) technology, similar to what every marketer knows as

(D) technology is what every marketer knows as

(E) technology that every marketer knows is

【答案】C

解析：Choice (C) is correct. It avoids the errors of the original by deleting the unnecessary pronoun "it" and by using the idiomatic "as" in place of the awkward and imprecise "like."（选择（c）是正确的。它通过删除不必要的代词“it”，并用惯用的“as”代替“like”之类的不精确的词，从而避免了原文的错误。）

【题八】Audio recordings, and the equipment used to make and play them, comes in many forms, including records, CDs, and analog and digital tape recorders.

(A) used to make

(B) comes

(D) including

(E) No error

【答案】B

解析：The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where there is subject-verb disagreement. The singular verb "comes" should be changed to the plural "come" to agree with the plural subject "Audio recordings, and the equipment used to make and play them."（这个句子的错误发生在(B)，在那里有主谓不一致。单数动词 "comes" 应改为复数 "come", 以和复数主语 "Audio recordings, and the equipment used to make and play them."）一致

【题九】With the 1977 publication of Song of Solomon, Toni Morrison both received popular and critical acclaim.

(A) both received popular and

(B) both received popular and also

(D) received popular as well as

(E) received both popular and also

【答案】D

解析：Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by replacing the awkward and misused "bo th … and" construction with the much simpler "as well as."（选择 (D) 是正确的。用 "as well as" 取代了笨拙和误用的"both … and..." 和的结构。而且避免改变句子的原意, ）

【题十】One of the northernmost countries of Europe, Finland's borders are Russia on the east, Sweden on the west, and the tip of Norway on the north.

(A) One of the

(B) of Europe

(D) and

(E) No error

【答案】C

解析：The error in this sentence occurs at (C), where there is improper modification. It does not make sense to say that "Finland's borders" are "One of the northernmost countries of Europe." The proper noun "Finland" should be used instead.（这个句子的错误发生在(C)，有修饰的错误。说“Finland's borders”是“One of the northernmost countries of Europe”是没有意义的。应该用适当的名词 "Finland" 代替。）
