His vocabulary, in particular, both that which he uses activetly and that which he recognises, increases in size as he grows old as a result of education and experience. __6__ But, whether the language store is relatively small or large, the system remains no more than a psychological reality for tike inpidual, unless he has a means of expressing it in terms able to be seen by another __7__ member of his linguistic community; he has to give the system a concrete transmission form.

英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economical causes: it is not due simply to the badinfluence of this or that individual writers. But an effect can becomea cause, reinforce the original cause and producing the same effectin an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take drinkbecause he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the mostcompletely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that ishappening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccuratebecause our thoughts are foolish, but the sloven of our languagemakes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that theprocess is irreversible. Modern English, especially written English,is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can beavoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one getsrid of these habits one can think more clearly, and think clearly is anecessary first step towards political regeneration: so that the fightagainst bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concerningof professional writers. I will come back to this present, and I hopethat by that time the meaning of what I have said here will have becomeclearer.答案及解析:1.economical－economiceconomical的意思是“节约的，经济的，省钱的”，而此处应选择economic表示“经济的，有关经济的”。

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。

专业英语八级改错练习题及答案解析(4)What is a black hole? Well, it is difficult to answer thequestion, as the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon are adequate here.Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is a region of space which matter has fallen and from which nothing can escape -- not even light. But we can’t see a black hole. A black hole exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only space -- or thus we think.How can this happen? 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 “neutron star” -- a star which matter is so dense that if continually shrinks by the force of 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 size of a marble, but still having the same masses and a stronger gravitational pull, and you have some ideas of the force of a black hole. And no matter near the black hole is sucked in. 1 ________2 ________3 ________4 ________5 ________6 ________7 ________8 ________9 ________10 _______参考答案及解析：supernova 名词，[天]超新星1. 将as 改为since或者because。

专业英语八级改错练习题及答案解析(3)
专业英语八级改错练习题及答案解析(3)We live in a society which there is a lot of talk about science, but I would say 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 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 them to explain about the principles of physics that have gone into creating the computer, you don’t have faintest idea. The failure to understand science leads to such things like the neglect of human creative power. It also takes rise to blurring of the distinction between science and techno logy. Lots of people don’t differ between the two. Science is the production of 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. 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 new technology, which can be enormous. 1 ________2 ________3 ________4 ________5 ________6 ________7 ________8 ________9 ________10 _______参考答案及解析：1. 在which前加in，或将which改为where。

Just as promising (26) is the possibility of unraveling the complicated writing (27) of the brain.A mechanic gets valuable insight how an (28) automobile works by rebuilding car engines; similarly, neuroscientists can learn how the brain functions from (29) the way it is put together. The next step pursuing the (30) goal is to find out how the blueprint genes, the home box genes, control the expression of other genes that create the valves and piston of the working cerebral engine. The protein encoded by the latter genes could change the (31) stickiness of the cell surface, the shape of the cell or its metabolism to create the characteristic peculiar to, say, neurons or neural-crest cell. Surface proteins may be the (32) mechanism, whereby similar programmed cells stick together to form specific structures; they might also sense (33)the local environment to help the cell decide what is to do.Clarifying those mechanisms will engage the best talents in(34) embryology and molecular biology for some times to come.(35) What is perhaps the most intriguing question of all is if thebrain is powerful enough to solve the puzzle of its own creation.参考答案：1.preventing 改为preventplicated改为complexion2.sight后加into3.neuroscientist改为a neuroscientist4.pursuing后加inter改为latter5.similar改为similarly6.去掉is7.times改为time8.if改为whether英语专八改错练习及答案2The 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.

This has probably beenthe case in quite a while.During the 1 early stages of the industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh 2 deaths in Eu rope’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. Withoasional breaks for war, the rates of death and infectionin 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 theantibiotics 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 1.7billion 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.。

It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you if you are a resident of a smaller community. __4__ But, for the most part, this fact has a few significant consequences. __5__ It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationship do not differ between more and less urban __6__ people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than do big __7__ city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Or are residents of large communities __8__ any likely to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation __9__ than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust for strangers. __10__答案：1.loosed改为loosened。

Yet at least seven states haveblocked proposals to implement them, but opponents—ranging from 5House majority leader Dick Armey to the American Civil LibertiesUnion—argues that the cameras violate privacy and place profit 6above public safety. Part of the problem is that virtually all the devices in the place 7are operated by private firms that handle everything from installingthe machinery to identifying violations—often with maximal police 8oversight—and have an incentive to pull in as many drivers as theycan.
