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__

英语专业八级改错练习题(五)

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 imagina tion and __10__ made the world a more exciting place

英语专业八级改错练习题(六)

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.

英语专业八级改错练习题(七)

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__

英语专业八级改错练习题(八)

Demographic indicators show that Americans in the post war period

were more eager than ever to establishing families. They quickly __1__ brought down the age at marriage for both men and women and

brought the birth rate to a twentieth century height after more ___2___ than a hundred years of a steady decline, producing the “baby __3__ boom.” These young adults established a trend of early marriage

and relatively large families that went for more than two decades ___4___ and caused a major but temporary 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 European 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.

英语专业八级改错练习题(九)

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.

英语专业八级改错练习题(十)

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.

英语专业八级改错练习题(十一)

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.

英语专业八级改错练习题(十二)

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__

英语专业八级改错练习题(十三)

Classic Intention Movement

In social situations, the classic 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 care of his guest’s feeli ngs 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.

（一）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

（二)

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。

（三)

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。

(四)

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。

(五)

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。

（六)

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。

(七)

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。

(八)

参考答案及解析:

1.establishing改为establish,这里是不定式

2. 将height改为high/peak。整句话的大意为他们把男女的婚龄降了下来，使出生率达到了20世纪的高峰。

high可以用作名词，意为“高峰”，“高水准”，“最高纪录”。

height可以作“极点，顶点”解释。例如：The height of cleverness is to conceal one’s cleverness。

3. 将第二个不定冠词a 去掉。steady decline 意为持续的下降，前面不用加冠词。又如：years of hard work。根据语感可以判断出来。

4. 在went后加on，或将went改为lasted。此处是“持续”的意思，所以可以用went on 或者last来表达。

5. 将high改为higher。此处意为美国人结婚率比以前提高了，有与战前相比的意思，因此应用比较级。

6. 删掉more。此处的大意为战后离婚率也下降了，这个现象不大有人注意，但同样也很重要。另外，more与equally相矛盾。

7. 将nevertheless改为also或者删掉nevertheless。此处上下文之间不是转折关系，而是递进关系。

8. 将that 改为those。此处的代词应指marriages这个复数名词，因此应用those。此处考察代词与先行词一致的问题。

9. 将Since改为Although/Though/While。此处是转折关系，不是因果关系。

10. 将in改为to。短语to the extent是固定搭配。

(九)

参考答案及解析:

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。

(十)

参考答案及解析:

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

(十一)

参考答案及解析:

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。

(十二)

参考答案及解析:

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

（十三）

答案及解析:

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

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；

2019年专业英语八级改错专项练习试题及答案1 The telephone system is a circuit-switched network. For much of the history of the system, when you placed (26) a call, you were renting a pair of copper wires that ran continuously from your telephone to the other party’s phone. You had excluding use of those wires during the (27) call; when you hung up, they were rented to someone else. Today the transaction is more complicated. ( your call may well possess a fiber-optic cable or a satellite with hundreds of other calls), but more conceptually the system (28) still works the same way. When you dial the phone, you get a private connection of one other party. This is an alternative network architecture called (29) packet switching, in which all stations are always connected to the network, but they receive only the messages addressed to them. It is as if your telephone was always tuned in to (30) thousands of conversations going on the wire, but you (31) heard only the occasional word intended to you. Most (32) computer networks employ packet switching, because it is more efficient than circuit switching when traffic is heavy. It seems reasonable the existing packet-switched (33) network will grow, and new one may be created; they could (34)

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。

专八考试 改错技巧讲解 及练习题集(附答案)

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

专八改错高频考点

专八改错高频考点 在某些与动词同形的名词之前用定冠词可表示一种运动状态。例如： The number of students in this school has been constantly on the increase. Don’t jump off the train when it is on the move. The criminal is on the run from the police. We have been on the go all day. A taxi driver came to the/ his rescue and took him to hospital. (11) 在某些单数名词前用定冠词可表示与各该名词相关的抽象意义。例如：The music is pleasant to the ear. The landscape was really easy on the eye. There was still much of the schoolboy in him. Don’t play the fool. He is a bit too fond of the bottle. (他有点贪杯。) She wanted go on the stage (= to be an actress) from an early age. (12) 在某些介词词组中表示人体部位的名词之前用定冠词客表示击中、捉住某人某部位等意义。例如： She seized the boy by the ear. She seized the boy by the collar. The ball happened to hit him in the face. Somebody patted me on the shoulder. 3. 冠词的其它用法 (1) 在由两个名词构成的并列对称结构中，名词之前一般都带零冠词。例如：He could hardly keep body and soul together.（他几乎不能够维持生活。） The whole trip was a disaster from beginning to end. He was searched by the police from top to toe. His income is barely enough for him to live from hand to mouth. The differentiation of past, present and future is absent form many of these verbs. 类似的还有arm in arm, day after day, heart and soul, step by step等。 2) 在某些介词词组中，作为介词补足成分的名词词组可以带定冠词，也可带零冠词：带定冠词通常表示名词的本义；若带零冠词则表示比喻或转义。比较：Notes are printed at the bottom of the page. He is a good man at bottom (= in fact).
