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”。

Each year, a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down on the law and women around the world run to obey. The decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial.

Whether the reality of life in thefamily 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 settlersof 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 theUnited 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 inthe 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.英语专业八级改错练习题(三)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____7____science and technology. Lots of people don’t differ between the two. Science ____8____new knowledge that can be applied or not, and technology is the application of is the production 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.

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 increasesto 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 oneoccasionally swam toward shore, he was high adventure. People __3__found the adventure was rewarding, too, for the oil and meat fromone 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 alo ng the coasts of Englandwas designated “the King’s fish” because it automatically belongedto the Crown.Ever since those early times, human have felt whales a sense of __5__ wonder mixed with an intense desire to capture, slaughter, andexploit. Now the slaughter has reached alarming proportions. __6__Even though some species are protected by the regulations ofthe International Whaling Commission and theoretically all whalehunting 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 willbe 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 anymoment passes with someone talking, writing or reading. Indeed, __1__languages is most essential to mankind. Our lives increasingly dependon 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 languageis 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 thenecessity to study it. Language is far more complex than most peoplehave 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 asten years before, you can’t help being strucked by the __1__ appearance of the women taking part. Their hair styles andmake-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 thatthey 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 periodwere more eager than ever to establishing families. They quickly __1__brought down the age at marriage for both men and women andbrought 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 marriageand relatively large families that went for more than two decades ___4___ and caused a major but temporary reversal of long-term demographicpatterns. From the 1940s through the early 1960s, Americans marriedat 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 startmeeting 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 personwalks 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 ofcivilized 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, tohim, 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 nothingnew 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 calledice 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 thatwater 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, andthe 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 asgases or as liquids or as solids. We may normally think of iron as asolid, 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. Nothingvery 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 becausewater 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 theminto solids are so low. Water is an exception in this respect, whichis 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 MovementIn social situations, the classic Intention Movement is “thechair-grasp”. Host and guest have been talking for some time, butnow 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 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. Heholds 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。

英语专八改错突击练习（1）One important outcome of the work on the expression of genes in developing embryos is sure to be knowledge that can help preventing birth defects. Just as promising (26is 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 the brain is powerful enough to solve the puzzle of its own creation.英语专八改错突击练习（2）Cities can be frightened places. The majority of the population live in noisy massive tower blocks. __1The sense of belonging to a community tends to appear when you live thirty floors up in a skyscraper. __2__Strange enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, __3nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks even say hello to each other. __4 Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally keep the inhabitants of a small village together. __5__ People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help.So country life has disadvantages too. For example, shopping becomes a major problem and __6__for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go for an expedition to the nearest large town. __7__The country has the advantage of peaceful and quiet, but suffers from the is advantages of being cut off. __8__The city has noise and population which do harm to human health. But one of their main advantages is that __9__you are at the centre of things and that life doesn’t come to an end even at ten at night. Some people have found a compromise be-tween the two: they expressed their preference for the quiet life by leaving for the city and moving to the __10__ country within commuting distance of the large city.英语专八改错突击练习（3）Successful aging is a psychological feat. Fear for death, for example, may sometimes oppress you.__1__even when this is successfully overcome, there is still something for you to dealwith-loneliness.Loneliness can speed your demise no matter conscientiously you care for your body. __2__“We go through life surrounded by protective convoys of others,” says Robert Kahn, a psychologist of the University of Michigan who studied the health effects of companionship. __3__“People who manage to maintain a network of social support do best.” One study of elderly heart-attack patients found that those with two or more close associations enjoyed twice __4__the one-year survival rate of those who were completely panionship aside, healthy oldsters seem to share a knack for managing stress, poison that contributesmeasurably to heart disease, __5__cancer and accidents. Researchers have also been kinked successful aging to mental stimulation.__6__An idle brain will deteriorate just as sure as an unused leg, __7__notes Dr. Gene Cohen, Head of the gerontology center at George ashington University. But just as exercise can prevent muscle atrophy, mental challenges seem to preserve __8both the mind and the immune system. But what most impresses researchers.who study the oldest old is his simple drive and resilience. “People who reach 100 are not quitters,”__9__says Adler of the National Centenarian Awareness Project. “They share a remarkable ability to renegotiate life in every turn, to accept the inevitable losses And move on.” __10英语专八改错突击练习（4）In the United States there are, strict speaking, __1_no national holiday, for each state must, through legislative enactment or executive proclamation, __2__appoint the day which each holiday is celebrated. Congress and the president may establish legal holidays__3__for the District of Columbia and for federal employees throughout the states and territories;and by long custom,days that receive nationwide observation, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, __4__Labor Day, Independent Day, and New Year’s Day, are uniformly set __5__apart by all states as legal, or public holidays. In 1968, federal legislation established Columbia Day __6__as a legal holiday for the District of Columbia and for the federal government beginning at 1971. __7__The law also provided begun in 1971 federal employees would be granted__8__three-days weekends by observing Washington’s Birthday on the third Monday in February, __9__Memorial Day on the last Monday in May, Columbus Day on the second Monday in October,and Veteran Day on the forth Monday on October. By 1971, most of the states also adopted the new dates. __10__英语专八改错突击练习（5）One of our main arguments is that we in Western countries actually have part to play in causing the __1__problems of the Third World. Many Third World countries are saddle with immense debt burdens, for __2__example. They were lent money with low interest rates in the 1970s, when moneyflooded into Western banks__3__from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the Third World. The interest rates have then been risen __4__drama tically. So you have a situation where a country in many cases can’t even repay the interest, letting alone__5__the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example from what I have come across is a country inWest Africa where the consumption, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts ,if they are imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. The peanut is a major source of __6__protein in this country.So you have people go hungry as a result of that. __7_The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United States to feed our cattle.Those cattle then produced a surplus of milk which we do not know what to do with.We have enough milk, more milk than we can cope with in the Western World.And also that milk was transformed into dried milk powder and then taken back to this country __8__to help feed children who were suffering from malnutrition. So that’s the kind of insanely economic relationship__9__that we have got ourselves in the Third World. __10__英语专八改错突击练习（6）Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, that would rather try switching to __1__"light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example,found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults were trying to shed __2__pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet .In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by calorie-expending charts; __3__for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work the 275 calories in one __4__delicious Danish pastry. Even exercise professionals concede half a point here."Exercise in itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, __5__ the program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. __6__ Therefore, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. __7__A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who diet without exercise regained almost all their old weight, __8__while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight. If you decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burnan extra 100 calories daily.In a year's time, assumed no increase in __9__food taken, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually __10__and making other dietary adjustments,you may lose even more weight.英语专八改错突击练习（7）Henry Fielding, the famous novelist who was also 26)a London magistrate, once made a night raid to two known hideouts in this city-within-a-city; he found seven men, women, and children packed away in a few tiny 27)stinking rooms. All of these people, included little children of five and six who were trained as pick-pockets, were wanted for crime. Conditions like these bred morecriminals. One of the 28)typical cases was that Jack Shepard, whose execution in 1724 was watched by two hundred thousand people. Shepard, the son of honest working people, was an 29) apprentice in a respectful trade. He ran away from it because he fancied that he had been ill-treated, and soon 30)found it was easy to make more money by thieving 31)as his father had done by a lifetime of honest work. 32)In Shepard’s day highwaymen committed robberies at broad daylight, in sight of a crowd, and rode solemnly and 33)triumphantly through the town with danger of molestation. If they were chased, twenty or thirty armed men were ready 34)to come to their assistance. Murder was a everyday affair, 35) and there were many people who made heroes from the murderers.英语专八改错突击练习（8）I think it is true to saying that, in general, language teachers (26)have paid little attention to the way sentences are used in combination to form stretches of disconnected discourse. They have tended to take (27)their cue from the grammarian and have concentrated to the teaching (28)of sentences as self-contained units. It is true that these are often represented in "contexts" and strung together in dialogues and (29)reading passages, but these are essentially setting to make the formal properties of the sentences stand out more clearly, properties which are then established in the learners brain(30)by means of practice drill and exercises. Basically, the language teaching unit is the (31)sentence as a formal linguistic object. The language teachers view of what that constitutes knowledge of a language is essentially the same (32)as Chomskys knowledge of a syntactic structure of sentences, (33)and of the transformational relations which hold them. Sentences are seen as paradigmatically rather than syntagmatically related. Such a knowledge "provides the basis for the actual use of language by the speaker-hearer".The assumption that the language appears to make (34)is that once this basis is provided, then the learner will have no difficulty in the dealing with the actual use of language. (35)英语专八改错突击练习（9）What is corporate culture? At its most basic, it’s described like the perso nality of an organization, __1or simply as “how things are done around here.” It guides what emplo yees think, act, and feel. __2Corporate culture is a wide term used to define the unique personality __3__or character of a particular company or organization, and include such elements as core values __4__and beliefs, corporate ethics, and rules of behavior. Corporate culture can be expressed in the company’s mission statement and other communications, in the architectural style or interior decoration, by what people wear to work, by how people address to each other, and in the titles given to various __5__employees. How do you uncover the corporate culture of a potential employer? The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture after you have worked at the company for a number of months, __6__but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with the research before the interview and ending with observation __7__at the interview. The bottom line is that you are going to spend a lot of time on the work environment- __8__and to be happy, successful, and productive, you will want to be ina place where you fit for the culture, __9__a place where you can have voice, be respected, and have opportunities for growth.__10英语专八改错突击练习（10）Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, heis fed, looked after and loved, what he may do, It is improbable that he will ever again in his life __1__be given so much without having to do anything in turn. In addition, life is always presenting __2__new things to the child—things that have lost their interesting for older people because __3__they are too well-known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do__4as he wishes as he thinks old people do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for that he has done wrong. His life is therefore __5__not longer perfectly happy.When the young man starts to earn his own living, __6_ he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents;but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities.He can not longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room ,but has to work if he wants to live comfortable. If he spends most of his time playing about in __7__the way that he used to as a child, he will suffer hungry. __8__And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, therefore, __9__he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself making steady progress in his job __10and of building up for himself his own position in society.英语专八改错突击练习（11）Aimlessness has hardly been typical of the postwar Japan whose productivity and social harmony are the envy of the United States and Europe.But increasingly the Japanese is seeing a decline __1__of their traditional work-moral values. Ten years ago young people were hardworking and saw their jobs as their primary reason for being,but now Japan has large __2__fulfilled its economic needs, and young people don't know where they should go next. The coming of the age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into __3__ the male-dominated job market has limited the opportunities of teen-agers who __4__ are already questioning the heavy personalsacrifices involved climbing __5__Japan's rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs. In a recent survey,it was found that only 24.5percent Japanese students were fully satisfied with__6__school life,compared with 67.2 percent of students in the United States.In addition, far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than did their counterparts in the 10 countries surveyed. While often__7__ praised by foreigners forits emphasis on the basics. Japanese education tends to stress test taking and mechanic learning __8__over creativity and self-expression. Last year Japan experienced 2,125incidents of school violence, including 929 assaults on teachers. Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking a return to the prewar emphasis on moral education. Last year Mitsuo Detoyama,who was then education minister, raised his eyebrow when he argued that liberal reforms introduced__9__by the American occupation authorities after World War II had weakenedthe "Japanese morality of respect of parents." __10__英语专八改错突击练习（12）About half of the infant and maternal deaths in developing countries could be avoided if women had used family planning methods to prevent high risk ____1____ pregnancies, according to a report publishing recently by the Johns Hopking ____2 University.

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.

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, _____7they dreamed of buying houses and starting families.

People inancient 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 beachi ng along the coasts of England was designated “t he King’s fish” bec ause 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.

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.英语专八改错突击练习（16）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.

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__英语专八改错突击练习（19）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.英语专八改错突击练习（20）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, tohim, 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.英语专八改错突击练习（21）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.。

【练习】There are great impediments to the general use of astandard in pronun-ciation comparable to thatexisting in spelling (orthography). One is the factthat pronunciation is learnt ‘naturally’ andunconsciously, and orthography __1is learnt deliberately and consciously. Largenumbers of us, in fact, remain throughout our lives quite unconscious with what our speechsounds __2like when we speak out, and it often comes as a shock when we __3firstly hear a recording of ourselves. It is not a voice we recognize at once, __4whereas our own handwriting is something which we almost always know. We __5begin 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 __6practicing the pronunciation of those around us for many more hours per every __7day 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- __8mediate circle; after all, as we have seen, speech operates a means of holding a communityand 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 fewmiles far. __10。

英语专业八级改错模拟题(1)Poverty exists because our society is an unequal one, and there are powerfulpolitical pressures to keep it that way. Any attempt to redistributing wealth and in __1__come in the United States will inevitably be opposed by powerful middle and upper class interests. People can be relatively rich only if you are relatively poor, and as __2__power is mainly in the hands of the rich, public policies reflect their interests than __3__those of the poor. As Mr. Herbert Gans has pointed out, poverty is actually functional from the point of view of the non-poor. Poverty ensures that dirty work gets doing__4__.If there were no poor poeple to scrub floors and empty bedpans,there jobs will have to be __5__ rewarded with high incomes before anyonewould touch them. Poverty creates jobs for many of the non-poor, such aspolice officers, welfare workers, and government bureaucrats.Poverty makes life easier for the rich by providing them with cookers __6__,gardeners, and other workers to perform basic chores when their employers enjoy __7__more pleasurable activities. Poverty provides a market for more inferior goods __8__and service, such as day old bread, run down automobiles, or the advice of competent __9__ physicians and lawyers. Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb the costs of change. It is just that poverty is an inevitable outcome of the American economic system, in which the poor are politically powerless to influence or change. __10__英语专业八级改错模拟题(2)Vitamins, like minerals, are chemicals. There is absolutely not difference (1)in the chemical structure of the nature vitamin C and the chemical structure (2)of the synthetic vitamin C. Also, while most substances are harmless at very low (3)level of intake, all substance -- even the elements that are essential to life -- can be dangerous if you overdo them. Take water for example. Six or eight glasses a day will keep your body in good fluid balance. But you can also be drown (4)in it. Some people argue that individuals vary greatly (5)their need for nutrients, it cannot necessarily be stated any given (6)amount is too much;that is all relative. But since there is little solid information on what is the optimal intake of any essential nutrient in healthy individuals, it would be impossible to give guidelines that take these proportional needs into the (7)account. Just as with other drugs, the relation to (8)different vitamin dosages varies, with some people better able than others to tolerate large amounts. While we do know that very specifically what the toxic level (9)is for vitamins A and D, we are far less sure about vitamin E, even though it, too, is fat-soluble, and we still don‟t understand the water-soluble vitamin, the C (10)and the B groups, which the body cant store.英语专业八级改错模拟题(3)Literature is a means by which we know ourselves.

Its shared knowledge is vicarious experience; by this means we enlarge our understandings (2)_________of what it means to be human, of the corporate and independent (3) ___________nature of human society. The act of reading the book marks both our difference in and our place in the human fabric. The more we read, (4)______________the more we are. In the act of reading silently we are alone from the (5) book,separate from ones own immediate surroundings. Yet in the (6)__________act of reading we enter other minds and other places, enlarge our (7)_________dialogue with the world. Thus paradoxically, while disengaging from the immediate we are increasing its scope. In silence, reading activates a deeply creative function of consciousness. We are deeply committed to the narrative which we coexist while engaged in 8) _________reading. All kinds of present physical discomfortness may be (9)__________unnoticed while we are reading, and actual time is replaced by narrative time.

A roughand 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 __4of 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 theis 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 s ize is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words.” __8of 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.

Firstly, and most __2__obviously, new born children are completely helpless. Apart from a powerfulcapacity 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 someother human being or beings, be it mother, grandmother, or human group, achild is very unlikely to survive. This helplessness of human infants is in markedcontrast 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 younganimals are certainly in risk, sometimes for weeks or even months after birth, __5__compared with the human infant, they very quickly develop the capacity tofend for them. __6__It is during this very long period in which the human infant is totallydependent 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 justas they are designed to stand upright rather than to move on all fours, so theyare designed to learn and use language as part of their normal development aswell-formed human beings.2008年英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(15)There are great impediments to the general use of a standard in pronun-ciation comparable to that existing in spelling (orthography). One is thefact that pronunciation is learnt …naturally‟ and unconsciously, and orthography __1__ is learnt deliberately and consciously. Large numbers of us, in fact, remainthroughout 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 toread 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 communit y 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_2008年英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(9)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 personwalks 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 ofcivilized 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, tohim, 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.2008年英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(8)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 largefamilies 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 early1960s, 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.2008年英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(7)Whenever you see an old film, even one made as little asten years before, you can‟t help being strucked by the __1__appearance of the women taking part.

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__答案一1.redistributing改为redistribute。

But if the star is very large, this process of shrinking maybe 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_mass _gravitational pull, and you have some ideas of the force of a black hole. __9pull __And no matter near the black hole is sucked in. __10_what _答案：1 将as 改为since或者because。

英语专业八级改错练习题及参考答案英语专业八级改错练习题及参考答案Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people’s natural relations, loosed their responsibilities __1__ to kins (亲戚) and neighbors, and substituted in their place __2__ for superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. __3__ However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious” is not true. 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。
