大学英语四级单句改错例题解析

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。

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。

所以该句的ashamed应该改为shameful。

英语四级的口语部分常见错误

英语四级的口语部分常见错误

英语四级的口语部分常见错误英语四级口语部分常见错误Introduction:The oral test in the English Proficiency Test for College Students (CET-4) is one of the most challenging parts for students. It requires not only a good command of English grammar and vocabulary but also effective communication skills. In this article, we will explore some common mistakes that students make in the oral test of the CET-4 and provide suggestions on how to overcome these errors.1. MispronunciationOne of the most prevalent mistakes in the CET-4 oral test is mispronunciation. Due to the influence of their native language, students often struggle with English pronunciation. This can lead to difficulty in understanding and communicating with native English speakers.To overcome this issue, students should focus on improving their pronunciation by paying attention to phonetic symbols and practicing speaking with native speakers or through online language exchange platforms. Additionally, listening to English songs, watching English movies, and practicing tongue twisters can also help improve pronunciation skills.2. Grammar ErrorsGrammar mistakes are a common occurrence in the CET-4 oral test. Students sometimes confuse tenses, use incorrect verb forms, or misuseprepositions. These errors can affect the overall coherence and accuracy of their spoken English.To address this issue, students should review and practice grammar rules regularly. Engaging in conversations with English speakers, attending language workshops, and utilizing online grammar resources are effective ways to improve grammar skills. It is also beneficial to keep a record of the common grammar mistakes made and revise them regularly.3. Lack of VocabularyLimited vocabulary is another major obstacle students face in the CET-4 oral test. It can lead to repetitive and monotonous speech, making it difficult to express ideas clearly and effectively.To expand vocabulary, students should read extensively in English, including newspapers, magazines, and books. They should also create a personal vocabulary list and review it regularly. Engaging in discussions on various topics and learning new words in context can further enhance vocabulary skills.4. Lack of FluencyDifficulty in maintaining fluency during the CET-4 oral test is a challenge faced by many students. They often pause for lengthy periods, struggle to find appropriate words, and experience a lack of natural flow in conversation.To improve fluency, students need to engage in regular speaking practice. This can be achieved by participating in group discussions, joining English clubs, or finding conversation partners through language exchange platforms.Regular practice will help students think in English and respond quickly, resulting in improved fluency.Conclusion:Improving oral skills is crucial for success in the CET-4 oral test. By addressing common errors such as mispronunciation, grammar mistakes, limited vocabulary, and lack of fluency, students can enhance their communication abilities. Continuous practice, exposure to English in various forms, and utilizing available resources will significantly contribute to improving oral proficiency. With dedication and consistent effort, students can overcome these common errors and perform well in the oral test of the CET-4.。

英语四级题型(改错与对话和选词填空)解题方法与技巧实例探讨

英语四级题型(改错与对话和选词填空)解题方法与技巧实例探讨

1. 基本情况在四级新题型考试中,改错题是作为完形填空题的置换题出现的,在实考试卷中只能是二者取其一。

所以它在考试中所占分值比例与完形填空一样,也是 10%。

改错题通常选用一篇 200 词左右的短文,其中有 10 个语法结构和用词方面的错误,分布在除首句外的 10行中。

这些错误可能是因为用错了一个词或词形变化造成的,也可能是因为多用一个词或少用一个词造成的。

用错的词可能是意义或形式容易混淆的词,可能是意义相反的词,也可能是造成语法错误或搭配错误的词;词形变化错误可能是词性、时态、语态、性、数、格等语法方面的错误。

有的错误在同一短语或句子中一眼就能辨别,有的错误则必须在充分理解上下文的基础上才能识别。

考试在答题前一定要认真阅读并理解全文,答题时要参阅和琢磨上下文。

2. 题型分析改错也是一项综合测试题型。

虽然形式不同,但其测试重点与完形填空所覆盖的测试内容大致相同。

在解答四级改错题时,应主要从以下几个方面进行观察和判断:固定搭配―考查动词词组、介词词组、形容词词组、动宾词组等固定搭配的用法;语法句法―考查单复数、虚拟语态、从句等语法现象;语义逻辑―考查上下文的语义关系,常利用反义词来混淆视听;关系连词――考查句子内部或句群之间的逻辑关系,例如因果关系、转折关系、递进或并列关系、总分关系等;指代关系――考查人称代词、物主代词、反身代词与被指代的名词的对应关系;词汇用法――与完形填空相比较而言,改错部分考查的对象除名词、动词、形容词和副词等实义词的用法外,也经常考查一些功能词的用法,如介词、连词等。

3. 解题技巧1) 首先,通读全文,把握文章全貌,抓住文章主旨大意;2) 然后,根据上述 5 类改错题中常见的出题点,按图索骥,对号入座。

注意把跳过一时判断不出的题目;3) 最后,再通读一遍全文,做好扫尾工作,解决难题,复查做好的题。

4. 实战演练下面,我们以一份六级试卷中的改错题为例,说明改错题型的解题步骤与方法。

大学英语四级考试—— 改错

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。

大学英语四级考试改错题型透析以及应试技巧

大学英语四级考试改错题型透析以及应试技巧

英语四级考试:改错题型透析以及应试技巧一、常考典型错误1、一致性方面的错误1)主谓一致主谓不一致错误是CET-6综合改错题内容之一,主要表现为主语名词与谓语动词间隔较长,首尾不能相接,造成视觉上的混淆。

例:The president of the company,together with the workers,are planning a conference for the purpose of solving financial problems.句中主语的主词为单数名词“president”,介词短语“together with the workers”与主语无关,是插入成分,故谓语动词应用单数is。

2)名词单复数有时名词可以不用复数,但是在特定的句子中由于前面有明确的量词修饰,如many,several, a number of, a variety of等等,就要变成复数形式。

例:Computer,as we all know,has many possible use in different fields.句中名词use前的修饰语many是用来修饰复数名词的,所以use应改为uses。

3)代词与先行词一致代词的主要功能是指代已出现的名词、词组或一个意群,因此代词的出现必须有所指,而且形、数等必须与前面所代的部份相符。

这是代词改错的核心。

例:A knowledge of several languages is essential to other majors' study because without them one can read books only in translation.本句中without them指的是没有几门语言的知识。

them错指a knowledge of several languages,因为其中knowledge是中心词,所以要把them改为it。

CET4综合改错题

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。

英语四级改错常见形式

英语四级改错常见形式

英语四级改错常见形式英语四级改错常见形式一、英语四级短文改错常见形式1、错词(words mistaken)在标有题号的一行中有一词在词法、搭配或词义等方面有错误,要求考生找出错误并换上正确的词(change a word),这类错误在所有错误中占绝大多数。

2、缺词(words missing)在标有题号的一行的任何位置——包括行首词前和行末词后——缺了一词,要求考生按语法、搭配或上下文语义的需要找出缺词的位置并补上所缺的词(insert a word)。

3、多词(words redundant)在标有题号的一行中有一词按语法、搭配或上下文语义要求纯属多余,要求考生认定该多余的词并划去(cross out a word)。

短文共有10处错误,但究竟哪一行多一词,哪一行缺一词或错一词,则没有任何规律和标记。

历年考题的统计资料表明,绝大多数改错设计为错词一类。

其主要原因除了命题因素外,更由于这类错误形式难度较大,并更能考查考生的实际语言驾驭能力。

改错规则:不论是错词,缺词或多词,考生在改错时只能动一个词。

二、英语四级短文改错的解题方法1、三步法解题(1)通读全文,了解全文大意和主题;(2)找错并改正;(3)通读全文,核对检验。

2、解题步骤(1)在理解句子的基础上,先从动词、句法的角度判断有无这方面的错误以及错误的位置;(2)确定无句法错误后,再考虑用法、搭配和近形近义方面的错误;(3)在排除了上述两种可能后,应着重从语篇角度寻找有无上下文语义方面的错误(注意连接性词语和那些可能有反义词的词);(4)注意标有题号的各行与上行或下行相临处的错误;(5)若经过以上步骤还无法判断错误所在,则应暂时放弃该行,而继续往下做,待做完全文,对全文有更深入、更完整的理解的基础上进行检验时再作判断。

宜从介词及一些简单而易被忽视的语法角度的“细微处”多加考虑。

英语四六级考试短文改错15种常考错误类型

英语四六级考试短文改错15种常考错误类型

改错题要求考生根据对文章的理解,运用语篇、语法和词汇知识,辨认文章中出现的语言错误并加以改正,每个错误的改正仅限于一个单词,一般有以下三种更改形式:1. 改正(correction):将文中错词用斜线“/”划去,然后在其后面对应的下划线上填入正确的词,表示替换该错词。

2. 删除(delete):将文中错词用斜线“/”划去,在其后面对应的下划线上也划一斜线“/” ,表示该错词应被删除。

3. 增添(add):在短文中需要添加新词的两个词之间加“∧”号,表示有遗漏,然后在下划线上填入被遗漏的词。

【例】Television is rapidly becoming the literature of our periods. timeMany of the arguments having used for the study of literatureas a school subject are valid for ∧ study of television. the总体而言,改错题的错误类型涵盖词汇用法、语法知识和篇章理解三大方面。

具体来说,主要包括以下几种错误:一、上下文语义矛盾所谓的“上下文语义矛盾”是指文章前后所表达的意思不一致,甚至正好相反,即根据上下文的内容,应该是表达肯定或积极意义的地方,却误用了表达否定或消极意义的词;或是与此相反,应该是表达否定或消极意义,却误用了表达肯定或积极意义的词。

要识别这类错误,考生必须从宏观上把握全文,注意上下文语义上的衔接与连贯,而不能孤立地看待每个单词或句子。

【例1】 (05-12-S3)Initial impressions are vital and a badly presented CV could mean acceptance, regardless of what’s in it.S3. ___________【解析】前面提到initial impressions(第一印象)非常重要,那么badly presented(外表很差的)简历不管内容如何,肯定是会被拒绝,而不会被接受,原文中acceptance导致了上下文语义矛盾,应将其改为rejection。

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.

大学英语四级单句改错例题解析

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。

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。

所以该句的ashamed应该改为shameful。

3. That’s OK.
不用。
大家相信吗? "That’s OK." 和 "OK." 指的是完全不同的意 思。 如果别人问你要不要先洗个澡啊? 你答, "That’s OK." 就是不要的意思, 答 "OK." 却是要的意思。 记得有一次老美来我家作客, 我问他, "Do you need something to drink?" 他说 "That’s OK." 我想 "OK." 就是好 的意思啊, 当然赶紧把茶水奉上, 老美一脸莫名其妙的表 情。要记住, 当别人说, "That’s OK." 就表示 "I’m fine." 我 很好, 你不用操心的意思, 言下之意就是你不用麻烦了, 我 会照顾我自己。所以要记住, "That’s OK." 其实有没关系, 无所谓的味道在里面. 所以如果你要明确的拒绝的话, 可 以这么说, "That’s OK. I don’t need anything to drink."
2. Maybe I’m going out on a limb, but I think we
still have to invest it. 或许这么做有点冒险, 但我想我们还是要投资它。
一般人想到冒险, 直觉的反应就是, "It’s risky" 或是 "It’s dangerous." 但是囗语上老美喜欢说, "I’m going out on a limb." 来表示这件事需要冒险。这个 limb 原意是指树枝,

欢迎(welcome to)
英文表达“欢迎”之意的句子并不是很简单,这里有一个重要的句型:“Welcome to(某个地方)”。

这个句型能够作为日常家中来客人
时的欢迎语,也能够用在饭店宾馆服务员招待顾客时。

还能够用在招牌
或标语上,欢迎人们来到某地。

例如,当乘客乘机抵达洛衫矶时,第一眼看见的就是“Welcome
to Los Angeles.”不过“欢迎你再来北京站”就不能译成“Welcome you to Beijing Station”. 应译为“Welcome to Beijing Station” 或“Please come again.” 再看“欢迎”的另一种表达方式:
Translating sentences and thoughts containing the Chinese word “欢迎”into English i s difficult. Here is an important sentence pattern:
“Welcome to (some place)”.
This pattern can be used when someone arrives at your home. You can say,
“Welcome ! Welcome to my home. Please come in and make yourself at home.”
It can also be used by hosts and waiters and waitresses
in restaurants and clerks in hotels:
“Welcome to McDonald’ s! May I take your order?”
“Welcome to the Hilton Hotel. How may I help you?”
It can also be used on signs welcoming people to a
particular place. For example,
when passengers get off airplanes in Los Angeles, the first sign they see is the airport says
“Welcome to Los Angeles.”
However, a sentence like “欢迎你再来北京站”
Should not be translated “Welcome you to Beijing station.”
It should be eit her “Welcome to Beijing Station” or “please come again.”
Let’s consider another use of “欢迎”.
Chinese :欢迎你到我家来.
Incorrect English:
“Welcome you to my home.”
Correct English:
“You are welcome at my home any time.”
-or- “please feel welcome to come to my home.”。
