英语专业八级的改错练习及参考答案英语专业八级的改错练习及参考答案We use language primarily as a means of communication with other human beings. Each of us shares with the community in which we ive a store of words and meanings as well as agreeing conventions as __1__ to the way in which words should be arranged to convey a particular __2__ message: the English speaker has in his disposal a vocabulary and a __3__ set of grammatical rules which enables him to communicate his __4__ thoughts and feelings, in a variety of styles, to the other English __5__ speakers. 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. We take it for granted two most __8__ common forms of transmission-by means of sounds produced by our vocal organs (speech) or by visual signs (writing).

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”。

And it is the ability to communicate well which 1.________distinguishes one individual from another.The fact is that apart from the basic necessities, one needs tobe equipped with habits for good communication skills, thus this is 2.________what will make one a happy and successful social being.In order to develop these habits, one needs to first acknowledgethe fact that they need to improve communication skills from time to time.They need to take stock of the way how they interact and the direction 3.________in which their work and personal relations are going. The only constantin life is change, the more one accepts one’s strengths andworks 4._______towards dealing with their shortcomings, specially in the area of 5.________communication skills, the better will be their interactions and the more their social popularity.The dominated question that comes here is: How to improve 6.________communication skills? The answer is simple. One can find plenty of literature on this. There are also experts, who conductworkshops and seminars based on communication skills of menand women. In fact, a large number of companies are bringing intrainers to regularly make sessions on the subject, in order to 7.________help their work force maintain better interpersonal work relations.Today effective communication skills have become a predominantfactor even while recruiting employees. While interviewing candidates,most interviewers judge them on the basis of the skills they communicate with.They believe that some skills can be improvised on the job; but ability to 8.________communicate well is important, as every employee becomes therepresenting face of the company.There are trainers, who specialized in delivering custom-made 9._______programs on the subject.

Thus, any 4._________social unit—whether a relationship, group, organization, or society—develops a culture with the passage of time.While the defining characteristics of each culture are unique, all cultures share certain same functions. The relationship between 5.__________communication and culture is a very complex intimate one.6.__________Cultures are created through communication; that is, communication isthe means of human interaction, through it cultural characteristics 7.__________are created and shared. It is not so much that individuals set out to create a culture when they interact in relationships,groups, organizations, or societies,but rather than that cultures are a natural by-product of social interaction.8._________In a sense, cultures are the “residue” of social communication.Without communication and communication media, it would be impossible tohave and pass along cultural characteristics from one place and time to 9.__________another. One can say, furthermore, that culture is created, shaped, 10._________transmitted, and learned through communication.改错真题When I was in my early teens, I was taken to a spectacul ar showon ice by the mother of a friend.

Whether one labels it “learning” or “acquiring” an additionallanguage, it is an individual accomplishment or what is under 8.___________focus is the cognitive, psychological, and institutional status of anindividual. That is, the spotlight is on what mental capabilities areinvolving, what psychological factors play a role in the learning 9.___________or acquisition, and whether the target language is learnt in theclassroom or acquired through social touch with native speakers. 10.___________改错真题Psycho-linguistics is the name given to the study of the ps ychological processes involved in language. Psycholinguistic s study understanding,production and remembering language, and hence are con cerned 1.__________with listening, reading, speaking, writing, and memory for la nguage.One reason why we take the language for granted is that it usually 2.__________happens so effortlessly, and most of time, so accurately.3.__________Indeed, when you listen to someone to speaking, or looking at this page, 4.________you normally cannot help but understand it.It is only in exceptional circumstances we might becom e aware of 5._________the complexity involved: if we are searching for a word but c annotremember it; if a relative or colleague has had a stroke whic h has 6._________influenced their language; if we observe a child acquire lan guage; 7._________if we try to learn a second language ourselves as an adult; o r if weare visually impaired or hearing-impaired or if we meet anyo ne else 8._________who is.

Then in the tur n of 5.___________19th century, when the study of cultural anthropology sugges ted thatthe linguistic barriers were insuperable and that the languag e was 6.__________entirely the product of culture, the view translation was impo ssible 7.__________gained some currency, and with it that, if was attempted at all, it must 8.__________be asliteral as possible. This view culminated the statement of the9._________extreme “literalists” Walter Benjamin and Vladimir Nobokov .The argument was theoretical: the purpose of the translation,the nature of the readership, the type of the text, was not dis cussed.Too often, writer,translator and reader were implicitly identified with each other. Now, the context has changed, and the basic proble m remains. 10. _________改错真题From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that when I grew I should be a writer. Between the ages 1._____________of about seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did so with the conscience that I was outraging my 2._____________true nature and that soon or later I should have to settle down 3._____________and write books.I was the child of three, but there was a gap offive years on either side, and I barely saw my father 4._____________before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeing mannerisms which 5._____________made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginative persons, and I think from the 6._____________very start my literal ambitions were mixed up with the feeling 7._____________of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facilitywith words and a power of facing in unpleasant facts, and I 8._____________felt that this created a sort of private world which I could get 9._____________my own back for my failure in everyday life. Therefore, the 10.____________volume of serious — i.e. seriously intended —writing whichI produced all through my childhood and boyhood would notamount to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poemat the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation.改错真题So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: tha t is,every language appears to be well equipped as any other t o say 1____________the things their speakers want to say. 2____________There may or may not be appropriate to talk about primi tive 3_____________peoples or cultures, but that is anothermatter. Certainly, not allgroups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics o rpsychology or the cultivation of rice . Whereas this is not the 4____________fault of their language. The Eskimos , it is said, can speak abo utsnow with further more precision and subtlety than we can in 5_____________English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of t hosesometimes miscalled 'primitive') is inherently more precise an dsubtle than English. This example does not come to light a de fect 6____________in English, a show of unexpected 'primitiveness'. The position i ssimply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in si milar 7___________environments. The English language will be just as rich in term s 8____________for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments inEnglishwas habitually used made such distinction as importa nt. 9___________Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo lan guagecould be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor man ufactureor cricket if these topics formed the part of the Eskimos' life. 10____________For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth centurycould 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 vehicleswhich send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens. How many of us could distinguishbetween 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?改错真题The previous section has shown how quickly a rhyme pasone school child to the next and illustrates the further differen ce 1.__________between school lore and nursery lore. In nursery lore a verse,l earnt inearly childhood, is not usually passed on again when the little listener 2.__________has grown up, and has children of their own, or even grandc hild 3.___________The period between learning a nursery rhyme and transmittin g it maybe something from twenty to seventy years.With the playgro und lore, 4.__________therefore, a rhyme may be excitedly passedon within the very hour it is 5._________learnt; and in the general, it passes between children of the s ame age, 6.___________or nearly so, since it is uncommon for the difference in age b etweenplaymates to be more than five years. If,therefore, a playground rhymecan be shown to have been currently for a hundred years, orfor fifty, it follows that it has been retransmitted over and over ; very 8.___________possibly it has passed along a chain of two or three hundred younghearers and tellers, and the wonder is that it remains live afte r so much 9.__________handling, to let alone that it bears resemblance to the 10.___________改错真题The desire to use language as a sign of national identity i s avery natural one, and in result language has played a promi nent 1.__________part in national moves. Men have often felt the need to culti vate 2.__________a given language to show that they are distinctive from anot her 3.__________race whose hegemony they resent. At the time the United St ates 4.__________split off from Britain, for example, there were proposals that independence should be linguistically accepted by the usedifferent language from those of Britain. There was even one6.__________proposal that Americans should adopt Hebrew. Others favou redthe adoption of Greek, though, as one man put it, things wo uldcertainly be simpler for Americans if they stuck on to English 7.__________and made the British learn Greek. At the end, as everyone8.__________knows, the two countries adopted the practical and satisfac torysolution of carrying with the same language as before.9.__________Since nearly two hundred years now, they have shown the w orld 10.__________that political independence and national identity can be co mpletewithout sacrificing the enormous mutual advantages of a co mmon language.改错真题From what has been said, it must be clear that no one c anmake very positive statements about how language originat ed.There is no material in any language today and in the earlies t 1.__________records of ancient languages show us language in a new an d 2.__________emerging state. It is often said, of course, that the language3._________originated in cries of anger, fear, pain and pleasure, and the4.__________necessary evidence is entirely lacking: there are no remotetribes, no ancient records, providing evidence ofa language with a large proportion of such cries5.__________than we find in English. It is true that the absenceof such evidence does not disprove the theory, but in other grounds 6.___________too the theory is not very attractive.People of all races and languages make rather similarnoises in return to pain or pleasure. The fact that7.___________such noises are similar on the lips of Frenchmenand Malaysians whose languages are utterly different, serves to emphasize on the fundamental difference8.___________between these noises and language proper. We maysay that the cries of pain or chortles of amusementare largely reflex actions, instinctive to large extent, 9.____________whereas language proper does not consist of signsbut of these that have to be learnt and that arewholly conventional. 10.___________改错真题We use language primarily as a means of communicati on withother human beings. Each of us shares with the community i n which welive a store of words and meanings as well as agreeing conv entions as 1.________to the way in which words should be arranged to convey a p articular 2.________message: the English speaker has in his disposal vocabulary a nd a 3._________set of grammatical rules which enables him to communicat e his 4._________thoughts and feelings, in a variety of styles, to the other Englis h 5._________speakers. His vocabulary, in particular, both that which he us es activelyand 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 larg e, the systemremains no more than a psychological reality for the individu al, unlesshe has a means of expressing it in terms able to be seen by a nother 7._________member of his linguistic community; he has to give the syste m aconcrete transmission form. We take it for granted the two m ost 8.___________common forms of transmission-by means of sounds produced by ourvocal organs (speech) or by visual signs (writing). And these are 9.___________among most striking of human achievements.10.___________改错真题The University as BusinesA number of colleges and universities have announced s teep tuitionincreases for next year—much steeper than the current, very low rate ofinflation. They say the increases are needed because of a los s in value ofuniversity endowments heavily investing in common stock. I a m skeptical. 1._______A business firm chooses the price that maximizes its net reven ues,irrespective fluctuations in income; and increasingly the outlo ok of 2._________universities in the United States is indistinguishable from those of 3._________business firms. The rise in tuitions may reflect the fact econom ic 4._________uncertaintyincreases the demand for education. The biggest cost of being in the school is foregoing income from a job (this is pri marily a 5._________factor in graduate and professional-school tuition);the poor one's job prospects,the more sense it makes to 6.__________ reallocate time from the job market to education,in order to make oneself more marketable.The ways which universities make themselves attractive t o students7._________include soft majors, student evaluations of teachers, giving st udentsa governance role, and eliminate required courses. Sky-high tuitions 8.____________have caused universities to regard their students as customer s. Just asbusiness firms sometimes collude to shorten the rigors of com petition, 9.___________universities collude to minimize the cost to them of the athleteswhom they recruit in order to stimulate alumni donations, so t he bestathletes now often bypass higher education in order to obtai n salariesearlier from professional teams. And until they were stopped by theantitrust authorities, the Ivy League schools colluded to limit competitionfor the best students, by agreeing not to award scholarships on the basisof merit rather than purely of need—just like businessfirms agreeing not to give discounts on their best customer.10 ___________改错真题One of the most important non-legislative functions of the U.S. Congressis the power to investigate. The power is usually delegtated to committees —either stading committees,special committees set for a specific purpose, 1.___________or joint committees consisted of members of both houses.2.___________Investigations are held to gather information on the need forFuture legislation, to test the effectiveness of laws already passed,to inquire into the qualification and performance of members andofficials of the other branches, and in rare occasions, to lay the 3.___________groundwork for impeachment proceedings. Frequently, committeesrely outside experts to assist in conducting investigative hearings 4.___________and to make out detailed studies of issues.5.____________There are important corallaries to the investigative power. One is the power to publicize investigations and its results.6.___________most committee hearings are open to public and are reported 7.___________widely in the mass media. Congressional investigation nevertheless represent one important tool available tolawmakes 8.___________to inform the citizenry and to arouse public interests in national issuses.9.__________Congressional committees also have the power to compel testimony from unwilling witnesses, and to cite fro contempt of Congress witnesses who refuse to testify and for perjury these who give false testimony.10.__________改错真题Demographic indicators show that Americans in the postwarperiod were more eager than ever to establish families. They quicklybrought down the age at marriage for both men and wome n and broughtthe birth rate to a twentieth century height after more than a hundred 1.________years of a steady decline, producing the “baby boom.” Th ese young 2.________adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively lar gefamilies that went for more than two decades and caused amajor 3.___________but temporary reversal of long-term d emographic patterns. Fromthe 1940s through the early 1960s, Americans married at a hi gh rate 4.__________ and at a younger age than their Euro pe counterparts. 5.__________Less noted but equally more significant, the men and wome n who 6._________formed families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduce d the 7._________divorce rate after a postwar peak; their marriages remained i ntact toa greater extent than did that of couples who married in earl ier as well 8.__________as later decades. Since the United St ates maintained its dubious 9.__________distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world, thetemporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same exte nt in 10._________Europe. Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner and homemaker was not abandoned.改错真题There are great impediments to the general use of a standardin pronunciation comparable to that existing in spelling (orthography). One is the fact that pronunciation is learnt “naturally” and unconsciously, and orthography is learnt1.____________deliberately and consciously. Large numbers of us, in fact, remain throughout our lives quite unconscious with what2.____________our speech sounds like when we speak out, and it often3.____________comes as a shock when we firstly hear a recording of ourselv es. 4.____________It is not a voice we recognize at once, whereas our own han dwritingis something which we almost always know. We begin the “natural” 5.___________learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to re ad orwrite, and in our early years we went on unconsciously imitati ng and 6.___________practicing the pronunciation of those around us for many m ore hoursper every day than we ever have to spend learning even our difficult 7.__________English spelling. This is “natural” therefore, that our speech-s ounds 8.__________should be those of our immediate circle; after all, as we have seen,speech operates as a means of holding a community and9.__________giving a sense of“belonging”. We learn quite early to recognize a “stranger”,someone who speaks with an accent of a different Community—perhaps only a few miles far. 10.______ ____改错真题During the early years of this century, wheat was seen as the verylifeblood of Western Canada. People on city streets watched the yieldsand the price of wheat in almost as much feeling as if they were growers. 1.________The marketing of wheat became an increasing favorite topic of conversation.2.______War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing thewestern crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative grain sellingas carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat priceswere generally low in the autumn, so farmers could not wait for 3.____________markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheatsoon shortly after harvest when farm debts were coming due, 4.____________just to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions,5.________producer groups, asked firmer control, but the government had no wish to 6.________become involving, at least not until wartime when wheat prices threatened7.________to run wild.Anxious to check inflation and rising life costs, the federal8.___________government appointed a board of grain supervisors to deal with deliveriesfrom the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended,and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle with the crop of 9._________1919, the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board,with total authority to buy, sell, and set prices.10.___________改错真题The grammatical words which play so large a part in Englishgrammar are for the most part sharply and obviously differentfrom the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which mayseem the most obvious is that grammatical words have“ less 1.___________meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them 2.___________“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. 3.__________But this is a rather misled way of expressing the distinction.4.__________Although a word like the is not the name of something as man is,it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a sharp 5.__________difference in meaning between “man is vile and” “the man isvile”, yet the is the single vehicle of this diff erence in meaning. 6.___________Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably amongthemselves as the amount of meaning they have, even in the 7.___________lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been“little words”. But size is by no mean a good criterion for 8.___________distinguishing the grammatical words of English, when weconsider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. Apart 9.___________from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what somepeople say: we certainly do create a great number of obscurity 10.__________when we omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetry ofRobert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.1999年改错真题The hunter-gatherer tribes that today live as our prehistoric1.____________human ancestors consume primarily a vegetable diet supple menting 2.____________with animal foods. An analysis of 58 societies of modem hunt er-gatherers,including the Kung of southern Africa, revealed that one half emphasize gathering plant foods, one-third concentrate onfishing and only one-sixth are primarily hunters. Overall, two-t hirds。
