大学英语四级单句改错例题解析（最终版）
大学英语四级单句改错例题解析（最终版）第一篇：大学英语四级单句改错例题解析（最终版）单句改错例题解析【例1】Sorry，I haven't got any small changes on me．【解析】这里的“changes”应改为“change”，因为“change”作“零钱”解时为不可数名词。
【例2】Is the education free in all the countries？【解析】这里“education”前面的“the”要去掉，因为抽象名词表示泛指意义时不用定冠词。
【例3】Peter is stronger than him．【解析】在省略句或不完整的从句中，代词的格应跟没有省略、完整时的格一致。
这一句完整的结构应该是“Peter is stronger than he is，因此不能用“him”。
【例4】The man bought 20 dozens socks．【解析】象dozen，hundred，thousand等数量词被大于1的基数词修饰时，仍用单数形式。
所以这里的“dozens”应该改为“dozen”。
【例5】M illion of years ago，there lived a lot of huge animals on the earth．【解析】“hundreds of”，“thousands of，“millions of等结构中，不可遗漏-s。
【例6】China is still a developed country．【解析】过去分词作定语表示完成或被动之意，而现在分词作定语则表示进行或主动之意。
而中国现在仍然是一个发展中国家，因此应把“developed”改为“developing”。
【例7】What a ashamed thing to do！【解析】“ashamed”是“感觉羞耻的”，通常很少用在形容词前面作定语，一般只作表语，而“shameful”是“可耻的”，通常用在形容词前面作定语。

2017年12月英语四级真题答案及解析(第三套)
2017 年12 月大学英语四级考试真题答案与详解（第3 套）Part I Writing审题思路：近年来关于医患关系问题的讨论非常热烈，学生对这一话题并不陌生。
对于如何处理好医患关系（h ow to best handle the relationship between doctors and patients）可以从宏观角度进行讨论，如政府应该如何做；也可以从微观角度入手，即医生和患者应该怎么做，从而进一步转化成人与人之间的相处之道，如理解、信任等，再结合医患关系讨论即可。
这样处理，相对前者要简单许多。
当然，考生可以根据自己的认知和英语水平等实际情况，使自己的文章最大可能地出彩。
高分范文：Mutual Understanding Is Most ImportantWhen we talk about the relationship between doctors and patients, what comes into my mind is generally negative news. However, I believe there is a way for doctors and patients to get along harmoniously—that is mutual understanding.On the one hand, patients are helpless and worried when they go to hospital. So doctor’s attitude or response is critically important for them and their family. On the other hand, doctors have to face so many patients every day that they even have no time to take a rest. Such a high intensity of work could drive a man crazy. Thus, if they can stand in each other’s shoes, most problems could be solved. Otherwise, a doctor’s brief conclusion about the condition of patients might be regarded as cold blood and result in conflicts.Nowadays, much effort has been made to ease the tension of doctor-patient relationship. But I think the most effective one is mutual understanding and trust.全文翻译：相互理解最重要当我们谈论医患关系时，进入我脑海的多是负面新闻。

大学英语四级考试—— 改错
四级考试“改错的目的是测试学生综合运用语言的能力”。
改错题的主要错误类型有主谓不一致、时态和语态错误、连接词误用、形容词与副词错误、反义词误用、非谓语动词错误、关系代词错误、介词错误、缺漏和赘述、句子结构等等。
考生在做改错题时，首先应通读短文，对文章有个大致的了解。
然后，仔细读出现10个错误的所在行，一般来说，每个错误基本都可以归入上述的某一个错误类型，看有没有出现语法错误和词汇错误。
如果通过细读确认没有语法错误和词汇错误，那就把细读扩大到该行上下各二、三行，有时甚至要联系该行所在的自然段，这时的重点必须转移到对文章的理解上来，从上下文的关系找出连接关系和逻辑关系的前后矛盾的错误。
最后应再通读一篇改正后的文章，看整篇文章总体上是否连贯一致。
1、反义词误用这是短文改错中出现频率较高也是比较有特色的一种错误类型，这类错误必须在透彻理解上下文语义的基础上才能发现并改正。
比较常见的错误有：a、派生反义词如00年1月的72题将directly改为indirectly。
b其他反义词如00年1月的77题将little改为much。
2、连接词误用连接词的错误虽然是属于传统的语法题范畴，但其用法主要根据上下文语义上的逻辑关系，也就是上下文的理解。
连接词有很多种，有并列连词，如and, but, or等，主从连词，如because, if, after等，以及其他连接介词和副词，如however, despite等。
曾经考查过的题目有00年6月的73题，将as改为than，这考查的是比较连词的搭配，根据上一行中之more即可确定改as为than。
3、指代错误这一般考查的是代词的指代，在文章当中如果说出现了代词，那么代词所指代的对象在前文中一定是出现过的，否则就会出现指代不清，所以出现代词时候，我们要注意它所指代的对象的单复数是否与代词一致。
如03年9月的S9题将it改为they，因为它指代的是前面的复数名词new houses。

CET4综合改错题
综合改错题是大学英语六级考试中一个重要的题型，它要求考生在15分钟内找出在一篇200—250词的短文内的10处错误（每行不超过一处错误，但不包括拼写或标点的错误），并根据上下文，在错误的地方增、删、改正、替换某一个词或词组，使短文语意连贯，结构正确。
总体而言，综合改错题的命题内容有如下三大方面：（1）词汇用法（2）篇章理解（3）语法知识。
以下摘录历年六级考试综合改错题中出现的有关词汇用法和篇章理解方面的错误进行具体地分析。
一、词汇用法错误1．固定搭配错误：主要是一些常用介词短语、动词短语、形容词短语的误用，另外，一些固定句型中词汇的搭配也容易出错。
对付此类错误的方法是大量记忆，熟悉这些固定的搭配。
例1：．．．about an American who had been invited to an Arab meal at one of the countries of the Middle East．（2000年6月第75题） at应改为in，in the country为固定介词短语搭配。
例2：．．．，but such reasons are totally dependent in the balance of risks and benefits for the patients．（1993年6月第 75题） in应改为on，dependent on为固定的形容词短语搭配。
例3：However，a second person thought that this was more a question of civilized behavior as good manners．（2000年6月第73题） as应改为than，more．．．than．．．为固定句型搭配， 2．单词的混用：这种错误是指误用了某个在形式或意义上与正确的单词相似的单词。
例1：Between sunrise and sunset，streets and highways are a constant source of voice from cars，buses and trucks．（1995年6月第 73题）原文讲述噪音污染，所以，此处的voice应改为noise。

The economist methods should of course be 10.________ strictly objective and scientific.1．like －> as2．these －> some3．or －> and4．as －> \ 去掉as5．Such economic system －> Such∧an economic system6．that －> which7．are essential －> are∧not essential 或者essential －> non-essential 8．visits the cinema －> visits∧to the cinema9．basic －> based10．The economist methods －> The economist’s methodsThe economists’ methodsPassage 10Parents can be supportive of suspicions. Theycan be helpful to the teacher, or are in need of help 1. themselves. Sometimes, I think parents are too hardto their children. I have seen many parents of this 2. kind. I often have the problem of parents coming inand telling me what they really treat their kids. They 3.tell me that they usually stand over their kinds when they do their homework. They check their work and make big fuss over the grades. They criticize the kids 4. over everything having to do with school. My response usually is: ”well, you know, he is really agood kid. He is fine in my class. Maybe you shouldnot be too strict with them.” 5.We want parents to realize the fact that teachersare professors at working with children. They have 6. observed many children and many parents. Becauseof this, and because of their specialized training, teachers can be realistic about children. Teachersknow whether parents want their children to do well 7. and to behave well. But teachers know less what 8. children should be able to do at different ages andstages.

Lack of closure results from the 1.________panicked feeling that you still have a million things todo. One way to obtain closure is divide a task into 2.________ manageable goals, list them, and check them offyour list as you finish them. For example, supposeyour historic teacher assigns three chapters to be 3.________ read. If your goal is to read all three chapters, youmay feel discouraged if you don’t complete thereading at one time. A more effective way tocomplete the assignment is to divide the reading intosmaller goals by thinking each chapter as a separate 4.________ goal. Thus you experience success as you complete.each chapter. While you have completed the overall 5.________ goal, you know you have progressed toward it.A second block to obtaining closure is unfinishedbusiness. You may have several tasks with the samedeadline. If changing from one task to another serves 6. ________ as a break, changing tasks too often waste time. 7. ________ Each time you switch, you lose momentum. Youmay be unable to change mental gears fast enough.You may find yourself thinking about the old projectwhen you should be concentrating in the new one. In 8. ________ addition, when you return to your first task, youhave to review where you are and what steps were 9. ________ left for you to finish.Often you solve this problem by determininghow much time you have free to work. If the timeavailable is short (i.e. ,an hour or less), you need towork on only one task. Alternate tasks when youhave more time. Completing one task or a largeportion of a task attributes to the feeling of closure. 10.______1．result from －> result in2．is divide －> is to divide3．historic teacher－> history teacher4．think each chapter －> think∧of each chapter5．have completed－> have∧not complete d6．If－>Although7．waste －> wastes8．concentrate in －> concentrate on9．review where you are－>review where you were10．attributes to －> contribute toPassage 12Oral health care is, these days, a big, boom 1. business.

大学英语四级单句改错例题解析
单句改错例题解析【例1】Sorry，I haven't got any small changes on me．【解析】这里的“changes”应改为“change”，因为“change”作“零钱”解时为不可数名词。
【例2】Is the education free in all the countries？【解析】这里“education”前面的“the”要去掉，因为抽象名词表示泛指意义时不用定冠词。
【例3】Peter is stronger than him．【解析】在省略句或不完整的从句中，代词的格应跟没有省略、完整时的格一致。
这一句完整的结构应该是“Peter is stronger than he is，因此不能用“him”。
【例4】The man bought 20 dozens socks．【解析】象dozen，hundred，thousand等数量词被大于1的基数词修饰时，仍用单数形式。

They check their work andmake big fuss over the grades. They criticize the kids 4.over everything having to do with school. Myresponse usually is: ”well, you know, he is really agood kid. He is fine in my class. Maybe you shouldnot be too strict with them.” 5.We want parents to realize the fact that teachersare professors at working with children. They have 6.observed many children and many parents. Becauseof this, and because of their specialized training,teachers can be realistic about children. Teachersknow whether parents want their children to do well 7.and to behave well. But teachers know less what 8.children should be able to do at different ages andstages. They don’t expect the 8-year-olds to do thework that can only be done by the 12-year-olds.Parents, in the contrary, often expect their children 9.to do what is usually beyond their age and ability.Obviously, this may make great harm to the 10.children’s development.1．are －> be2．be hard to －> be hard on3．what －> how4．make big fuss －> make a big fuss5．them －> him6．professors －> expertsprofessional7．whether －> \that8．less －> morebetter9．in the contrary －> on the contrary10．make harm to －> do harm toPassage 11Closure is the positive felling you get when youfinish a task. Lack of closure results from the 1.________ panicked feeling that you still have a million things todo. One way to obtain closure is divide a task into 2.________ manageable goals, list them, and check them offyour list as you finish them. For example, supposeyour historic teacher assigns three chapters to be 3.________ read. If your goal is to read all three chapters, youmay feel discouraged if you don’t complete thereading at one time. A more effective way tocomplete the assignment is to divide the reading intosmaller goals by thinking each chapter as a separate 4.________ goal. Thus you experience success as you complete.each chapter. While you have completed the overall 5.________ goal, you know you have progressed toward it.A second block to obtaining closure is unfinishedbusiness. You may have several tasks with the samedeadline.

If the timeavailable is short (i.e. ,an hour or less), you need towork on only one task. Alternate tasks when youhave more time. Completing one task or a largeportion of a task attributes to the feeling of closure. 10.______1．result from －> result in2．is divide －> is to divide3．historic teacher－> history teacher4．think each chapter －> think∧of each chapter5．have completed－> have∧not completed6．If－>Although7．waste －> wastes8．concentrate in －> concentrate on9．review where you are－>review where you were10．attributes to －> contribute toPassage 12Oral health care is, these days, a big, boom 1. business.

答案部分
1.
【参考答案】将lies改为lying。
【参考译文】没有别的体育场位置能与伯纳贝乌体育场位置相媲美了，它位于卡斯特拉纳，位于穿越马德里市中心这条高速公路的三叉路口。
【详细解答】 lies as it does on the Castellana，虽然主语应该是Bernabeu，但由于前面Few football grounds boast a more prestigious address than the Bernabeu是比较级的句子，而且比较对象很明确：是Few football grounds 与the Bernabeu，而lies 的误用，导致了句子结构的混乱。
鉴于lies as it does…是对the Bernabeu的补充说明，故将lies改为lying，使之与后面的句子变成状语，就解决了问题。
2.
【参考答案】将three-lining改为three-lined。
【参考译文】译文同上句。
【详细解答】 three-lining与其修饰词highway的逻辑关系是被动的。
而现在分词往往是与其修饰词的关系是主动的。
因此，将three-lining改为three-lined。
3.
【参考答案】将as改为Though。
【参考译文】尽管皇家马德里队的历史可追溯到1902年索西达德马里足球俱乐部队成立之时，但是直到1920年，俱乐部才被允许在其名字之前冠以“皇家”二字。
【详细解答】 Real date back to 1920与it was not until 1920 that the club was granted permission to use the Real prefix之间的逻辑关系应是转折关系，而as的误用导致了关系的混乱。
改为表示转折的Though/Although。
4.
【参考答案】将when改为that。
【参考译文】译文同上句。
【详细解答】强调句与定语从句的区别主要有两点：引导词与引导词前后的句子的结构。
强调句的连词除了强调人可以是who 以外，都用that。
另外一点，强调句前半部分是“It is…”，句意不完整，that后面的部分也不完整，只有将It is …that中间的成分移到后面才完整。
本句是强调句，而不是定语从句，故when属误用，须将when改为that。
5.
【参考答案】将on改为for。
【参考译文】购买体育场地皮花去300万比赛塔，建造费用总共达3800万比赛塔。
【详细解答】介词的作用在英语中的作用是不容忽视的，每一个介词都有其独特的用途。
on除了表示时间，空间位置外，还可以表示“在……方面”，不表示花费多少钱。
故句中on属误用，将之改为表示数目多少的介词“for”。
6.
【参考答案】将staggered改为staggering。
【参考译文】在当时，这是一笔令人惊愕的数目。
【详细解答】以“-ed”结尾的形容词主语一般修饰人，表示“感到……的”，以“-ing”结尾的形容词一般修饰非生命的“物”，表示“令人……的”，句中sum是staggered逻辑主语，故staggered属误用，将之改为staggering。
7.
【参考答案】将proving改为proven。
【参考译文】新建体育场的巨大耗资引起了许多传言，还说皇家马德里队曾接受过佛朗哥政府的资助，但从未得到证实。
【详细解答】 never proving是主句The cost of the new stadium led to claims的分词状语，proving的逻辑主语是that Real had received financial aid from General Franco’s government，在关系上与proven属被动，因此，proving属误用，改为proven。
8.
【参考答案】将won改为winning。
【参考译文】在伯纳贝乌的资助下，皇家马德里最终成为最优秀的一支俱乐部足球队，在1956年至1960年期间，这支球队五连冠夺得欧洲足球冠军杯。
【详细解答】由won开始的状语短语，逻辑主语是Real Madrid，主语和won的逻辑关系是主动的。
won是误用，因此改为winning。
9.
【参考答案】将This改为It。
【参考译文】这支首都著名足球俱乐部队被视为西班牙民族精神的象征，就像巴塞罗那足球
俱乐部队是独立的加泰罗尼亚精神的标志一样，这绝不是巧合。
【详细解答】本句是长句子，真正的主语是that后面的部分。
为了保持句子的平衡，将较长的主语放在后面，而将 it放在句首，做形式主语，是英语惯用的手段。
而本句用this 作形式主语是不合适的，故改为it。
10.
【参考答案】将like改为as。
【参考译文】译文同上句。
【详细解答】在作“像……”这一意思时，like虽与as词意看似相似，但用法区别很大。
like是介词，连接名词或代词，as是连词，连结句子，而FG Barcelona is a beacon for the independent Catalan spirit是个句子，故like属误用，应改为as。
