第一篇:Error Correction (15 minutes)Most studies suggest that when women and men do thesame job and have the experience, pay rates tend to besimilar. Most of the dollar differences stem from fact that -------71.women tend to be more recently employed and have more -------72.years on the job. Whether women who have started a careerwill attain pay equality with men rest on at least two factors. -------73.First, will most of them continue part time at their jobs after -------74.they have children? A break in their employment, or a decision -------75.to work part time, will slow its raises and promotionsbecause it would for men. Second, will male-dominated -------76.companies elevate women to higher-paid jobs at the different -------77.rate as they elevate men? On some fields, this had clearly not -------78.happened.

There are not many places where it is impossible to do this. A music shop is very much --76. like a bookshop. You can wander round such placesto your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach to you with the inevitable --77. greeting: "Can I help you, Sir?" You needn't buy anything if you don't want. In a bookshop anassistant should remain the background until you --78. have finished browsing. Then, only then, are hisservices necessary. Of course, you may want tofind out where a particular section is, since when he --79. has led you there, the assistant should retirediscreetly and look as he is not interested in --80.selling a single book.答案:71. if -- whether72.

This means that more policemen,more nurses and technicians, and more teachers must be hired.Advances in technology has also changed people's lives. --73.Dishwashers and washing machines do jobs that were once doneby the hand.

In the eighteenth century farmerswere quite self-sufficient. The farm family grew and made almostnothing it needed. The surplus crop would be sold to buy a new --71.items in the local general store.In 1860, because some of the farm population had moved to --72.the city, yet eighty percent of the American population was still inthe country. In the late nineteen century, farm work and life --73.were not much changed from that they had been in old days. The --74.farmer aroused at dawn or before and had much work to do, with --75.his own muscles like his chief source of power. He used axes, --76.spades and other complicated tools. In his house cooking was done --77.in wood-burning stoves, and the kerosene lamp was the onlyimprovement on the candle. The family's recreation and social life chiefly consisted a drive in the wagon to the nearby small town or --78. village to transact some business as well as to chat with neighborswho had also come to town.The children attended a small elementary school (often ofjust one room) to that they had to walk every day, possibly for a --79. few miles. The school term was short so that the children couldnot help on the farm. Although the whole family worked, and life --80. was not easy, farmers as a class were self-reliant and independent.答案:71. nothing --- everything72. because --- although73. nineteen --- nineteenth74. that --- what75. aroused --- rose/got up76. like --- as77. complicated --- simple78. consisted后加of79. that --- which80. and --- /第六篇:Error Correction (15 minutes)Living is risky.

But in --62.medicine a few procedures, drugs, operations or tests --63.are really a mater of life and death. There may besound medicine reasons are totally dependent --64.in the balance of risks and benefits for the --65.patients.Surgery for cancer may cure or prolong a life, butthe removal of tonsils(扁桃体) cannot save anything a --66. sore throat. Blood pressure drugs definitely help somepeople live after a heart attack, but these same drugsmay be both necessary and harmful for those with only --67. mild blood pressure problems.Deciding how much discomfort and risk we are preparing --68. to put up with in the name of better health is a high --69. personal matter, not a decision we should remain to --70. doctors alone.答案:61. risks ∧worth → are62. its → h is63. a few → few64. medicine → medical65. in → on 或upon66. anything ∧ a → but 或except67. necessary → unnecessary68. preparing → prepared 或ready 或willing69. high → highly70. remain → leave第七篇:Error Correction (15 minutes)A good way to get information for essays andreports is to interview people who are experts in --71.your topic or whose opinions may be interesti ng.Interviews are also a good way to get a sampling of people's opinions on various questions.

If you don't understand something theinterviewee has said, say politely and ask him or --77. her to clarify it or to give an example.5. Take notes, if the interviewee goes too slowly --78. for you, ask him or her to stop for a moment, especially if the point is important. A taperecorder lets you avoid this problem. Therefore, --79.be sure the interviewee agrees to be taped.6. As soon as possible after the interview, readover your notes.

Planet Earth will be crowded,dirty and lack of resources. A sort of exodus --71.of mankind will begin.Spaceships will be assembled so that theyrevolve around the earth. Some may orbit aroundMars. These space stations will be serviced byspace buses. We saw the first space bus launch in --72.April 1981. This was "Columbia", it made several --73.orbits around the earth and then returned, landingon a huge dry lake bed in California. "Columbia"will be used again. Previous spaceships havebeen abandoned, only the nose cone being usedto bring the crews back to earth. --74.Upon established, each space station will --75.generate its own atmosphere and have its own agriculture. It will need to rotation to provide --76.an artificial gravity; people will be forced inwards --77. from the center by centrifugal force.The moon and Mars could become new sources ofnew materials.

Such a place, however, is very good to be true: --72. such a place is nowhere, and that's what the word "Utopia" means. It is made up two Greek words meaning "not a place". --73. The word was first used by Thomas More, a sixteen century --74. English writer whose book Utopia, published in 1516,describing a perfect island country. More's idea for tale came --75. from Plato. Plato's The Republic described what would be aperfect state. Early legends told a perfect place existing --76. somewhere in Atlantic. These legends were no longer believed --77. when the explorations of Americans began, but after More'stime they became common for writers to imagine there places. --78.

Every normal person isexpert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, and --71--few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncingforeign languages. Now there are many reasons about this, --72-- some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggestthat the fundamental reason why people in general do notspeak foreign languages very better than they do is that --73--they fail to grasp the true name of the problem of learningto pronounce, and consequently never set about tacklingit by the right way. Far too many people fail to realize --74--that pronounce a foreign language is a skill, one that --75--needs careful training of a special kind, and one thatcannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of himself. --76--I think even teachers of language, while recognizing theimportance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerning with speaking the --77-- language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher may be prepared to --78-- devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his wholeattitude to the subject he should get the student to feelthat here is a matter worth of receiving his close attention. --79--So, there should be occasions where other aspects of English, --80--such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment totake a secondary place.答案:71.and→but。

新六级-综合改错题二(2) 答案解析:1. 将so改为转折性连词but.虽然前句说电视节目质量遭到批评,并且还有令人讨厌的广告,但是接下来是说对孤寡老人的益处,因此此处表达转折的意思。
2. 将but 改为so.文章并没有表达转折的意思,因为经理收到了许多关于电梯服务的投诉,所以他才做出后面的措施,因此此处应该是因果关系。
3. 将unaware改为aware.根据后文说这样的人从来不会撞到别人便可看出,他们时刻在注意着别人。
4. 将directly改为indirectly.根据前文所说,人类先前并没有进入这些宇宙空间而是现在才具有了这种能力,因此不可能是直接而只可能是间接的了解。
5. 将therefore改为however.根据上文可以看出,此处学院是和大学在做对比,因此是一种转折关系。
6. 将unpleasant改为pleasant.此句意思是说对于Johnny来说pleasant的音乐对Jimmy却完全是噪音,从而显示出两人的不同,从后文vice verse也可看出原句是将两人在进行对比。
7. 将if改为although,though,but或者yet.仔细分析此句会发现,原文其实在表达一种让步或转折关系而非条件关系。
该句意思是:尽管我们时常要求一点宁静,却似乎我们都离不开声音。
8. 将and改为or.此处是表示选择,即农民既可以使用斧子,也可以使用铁锹或者其他类似的工具。
9. 将part-time改为full-time.根据后文可知,妇女选择兼职将会减缓她们工资增长以及提升,因此要想获得和男性同样的薪水,将决定于她们应该是否会继续从事全职。
10. 将possible改为impossible.根据后文可知,即使同样的词语意思也是不一样,因此这个问题应该是从单个词语意思来理解习语是个可能的事情。

心之所向,所向披靡Error CorrectionPassage OneConflict is a necessary element in fiction. Indeed, it isthe backbone of a story; it is conflict that gives us the senseof a story going somewhere.The conflict in a story must first be obvious importance 62 ___to the characters involved. We can illustrate this byreference to experience. All of us face constant conflicts ourdaily lives-whenever we cross a street, for example, orwhenever the alarm goes off and we have to get up for aclass. Most of our conflicts are easily resolved-we wait fortraffic and then cross the street without fear, or we shut offthe alarm, get up, and after two cups of coffee forget ourpain. Furthermore, we also experience conflicts that are not 63 ___ easily resolved. All of us, for example, are faced almostdaily with conflicts which have some kind of a permanenteffect to us-which alter our basic values or our conception 64 ___of human nature. Should we report the fellow student whomwe look cheating on an examination? Should we pad (虚报) 65 ____ our accounts for books and supplies in that letter home-particularly since we know that father cheats a little hereand there on his income-tax returns? None of us have 66 ____ witnessed teachers or ministers or high public officialspreach one thing and practice other. All of us have found 67 _____ ourselves in that most common of all dilemmas-the choicebetween holding to a set of moral and ethical convictionsand violate them in order to be accepted by our group. 68 ____ These are the kinds of conflicts which we find fiction; and 69 _____ because they are of this nature, we call fictional conflictscrisis situations. We mean by this that as a result of a givenconflict, the character or characters involving will never 70 ____ again be quite the same people that they are before the 71 _____ incident occurred.Passage TwoWomen are a force that is changing in Australiansociety. The pride of place given to women as almost the 62 _sole shapers of Australian history is being challenged.Today husbands more often than not share householdchores and more men are finding women alongside them inthe workplace. It may be some time after there is a woman 63prime minister of Australia, but the need of women at the 64 _top- and their right to be there-is now widely recognized.The growing role of women in the Australian work forceis both a cause and a consequence of change attitudes and 65 lifestyles in Australian society.In offices, laboratories and factories, in social andpolitical organizations, women are making their presencefeel.There are few remaining legal barriers against women 66 in Australia in jobs, commercial contracts, politics andsocial life. The barriers that exist mainly stem from modern 67 attitudes built into society and are easily changed by new laws. 68 _ Women have brought about the most significant changein the Australian work force simply by entering it inthousands, and by seeking which before were assumed to be 69 suitable for men only. There are now women in Australiadrive buses, trams, taxis, racing cars and 50-tonne trucks. 70 They are race-horse jockeys. They are apprenticeelectricians and mechanics. They are air-traffic controllers.They shear sheep and work like laborers. They are judges 71 and Members of Parliament.Passage ThreeThe problems which face the learners of English canbe divided into three categories: psychological, culture, 62 and linguistic. The largest category seems to be linguistic.When foreign learners first have the opportunity to speaking 63 to a native speaker of English, they may have a shock: theyoften have little difficulty in understanding spoken English 64 of native speakers. There are a number of reasons to this. 65 First, it seems to students that English people speak veryquickly. Secondly, they say with a variety of accents. 66 Thirdly, different styles of speech are used in differentsituations, for example, everyday spoken English, which iscolloquial and idiomatic, are different from the English 67 used for academic purposes. For all of these reasonsstudents will have difficulty, mainly because we lack 68 practice in listening to English people speaking English.What can a student do then to overcome thesedifficulties? Well, obviously, he can benefit in attending 69 English classes and he should take every opportunityavailable to speak with native speakers of English. Heshould be aware, consequently, that English people are, by 70 temperament, often reserved and may be willing to start a 71 conversation. So he should have the courage to take the initiative.Passage FourBusiness visits tend to be extremely punctual. If youarrive late to a business appointment, it will reflect badlyon you. So try to arrive on time, or even if a little earlier. 62 If you know that you will be arriving late, you shouldtelephone ahead to let them know of the delay. If abusiness meeting takes place over a meal, expect thebusiness discussions to begin after everyone has orderedtheir meal, sometimes as soon as everyone is seating. 63 Socializing tends to occur after the business is concluded,not before. This is in contrast with the practice inmany other countries, where the purpose of the meal is tosocialize with and get to know each other after any business 64 is discussed. Many American companies have men in 65 management positions. So don't be surprised if the personwho meets you is a woman, not a man. They are just ascompetent as their male counterparts. If you feeluncomfortable, focusing on the business at hand and ignore 66 the fact what she happens to be a woman. Do not, 67 however, ask personal questions like you might with a male 68 colleague. In particular, do not ask whether she is marriedor has children. When businessmen or businesswomenmeet, they usually introduce themselves through shaking 69 right hands. When you shake hands, don't crush theirfingers, neither hold their hand so lightly. A firm 70 handshake is best. Business cards are not normallyexchanged with meeting. If you need a colleague's contact 71 information, it is okay to ask them for their cards. It is alsookay to offer someone your card. But there is not anelaborate ritual of exchanging cards as in other cultures.Passage FiveTeachers believe that students' responsibility with 62. ____ learning is necessary. If a long reading assignment isgiven, instructors expect students to be familiar withthe informations in the reading even if they do not 63. ___ discuss it in class or give an examination. The idealstudent is considered to be one who motivated to learn 64. ___for the sake of learning, not the one who is interestedonly in getting high grades. Grade-conscious studentsmay be frustrated with teachers who do not believe itis necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimeshomework is returned with brief writing comments but 65. ____ without a grade. When research is assigned, theprofessor expects the student to make the initiative 66. ___ and complete the assignment with minimal guidance.Professors do not have time to explain how the libraryworks; they expect students, particular graduate students, 67. ___to be able to use the reference sources in the library.In the United States, professors have other duties except 68. ___ teaching. Often they either have administrative work to door may be obliged to publish articles and books. But the 69. ___ time that a professor can spend with a student outside ofclass is very limited. Educational practices such as studentparticipation indicates a respect for individual responsibility 70. ___ and independence. The manner which education is provided 71. ____ in any country reflects basic cultural and social beliefs of that country.。

短文改错(Error Correction)属主观题型,要求考生在15分钟内找出并改正一篇短文中的10处错误。
一、改错形式有以下三类: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、短文改错的命题考点:(一)上下文语义方面的错误1.反义词。
这是短文改错中出现频率较高也是短文改错中最具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更正。
常见的这类错误有:①派生反义词。
如: encourage-discourage,load-unload,satisfy-dissatisfy等。
②互补性反义词。
如: dead-alive,boy-girl,man-woman,male-female,brother-sister,married-single等。
③换位性反义词。
如: buy-sell,give-receive,lend-borrow,husband-wife,parent-child,left-right等。
④相对性反义词。
如: easy-hard,big-small,cold-hot,old-young,wide-narrow,love-hate等。
⑤按上下文语义,行中多用了not或no,或必须添上not或no。
2.连接性词语。
连接性词语虽属传统的语法题,但其用法主要依据上下文语义上的逻辑关系,即对上下文的理解。
短文改错设计中的连接性词语的错误包括:①并列连词。
如: and,but,for,or等。
②主从连词。
这类词较多,如: because,(al)though,if,unless,before,after,until,as,while,whereas等。
③连接性副词。
如: however,moreover,besides,nevertheless,then,thus等。
④连接性介词。
如: because of,despite,besides,instead of等。
(二)用法搭配方面的错误1.介词。
介词主要涉及用法与搭配,是短文改错中出现频率最高,也是考生最易失分的一类题型,要在这类题型的辨错改错上有所突破,考生必须注意平时介词用法知识的积累。
在改错中,请注意从以下几个方面辨认。
①介词与动词的搭配。
如: accuse sb.of,charge sb. with,prevent sb. from,prohibit sb.from,differ from,contribute to等。
②介词与名词的搭配。
如: count on,influence on,improve on,belief in,confidence in,advantage over,preference over,attitude to,solution to等。
③介词与形容词的搭配。
如: different from,indifferent to,dependent on,independent of,guilty of,innocent of,persistent in,proficient in等。
④由介词引起的短语。
如: in contrast,in turn,in the long run,by means of,in terms of,on good/bad terms with,on the contrary,by chance,by turns等。
2.成语。
短文改错的命题标的也常对准各类成语,尤其是成语中的介词、冠词和名词的单复数形式等。
这类错误的出现频率也较高。
①介词错误。
如: take pride for(→in),abide to (→by),persist on(→in),have no ear to(→for)等。
②冠词错误。
如: in the contrast(in contrast),all of sudden(all of a sudden),keep a pace with(keep pace with)等。
③名词单复数。
如: take turn(take turns),make friend with(make friends with),keep/break one’s words (keep/ break one’s word)等。
(三)动词方面的错误这方面的错误主要涉及:1.分词。
主要是现在分词和过去分词的误用。
如: a puzzled question→a puzzling question an exciting girl→an excited girl2.系动词。
①be以外的其他系动词被误用作行为动词,后面应该接形容词作表语,但接了副词。
如: The meal smells badly.→The meal smells bad.②系动词be在某些形容词前常受汉语影响而被遗漏。
这些形容词有afraid,alive,aware,conscious,guilty,worth等。
3.动词的及物与不及物。
改错中常有不及物动词被误用作及物动词(缺介词),或及物动词被误用作不及物动词(多介词)。
前者如: complain the bad service there(应加of)后者如: consider of his suggestion(应删of)4.短语动词。
主要是带介词或副词的短语动词,常设计成介词或副词小品词的错误。
由于这类错误主要是搭配问题,我们将它归入第二类用法搭配方面的错误一并讨论。
5.句型。
这类错误主要涉及:①动词句型。
主要是带复杂宾语的动词的固定搭配模式。
如: find it neccessary to do sth. /spend sometime(in)doing sth. /make sb.do sth. /leave sth.to sb. /be seen to do/doing sth.等。
②传统句型。
即传统语法概念上与动词有关的句子模式。
主要有以下几类:a)省略句型。
如:While watch TV,they heard someone upstairs shout“Fire!Fire!”(watch →watching)b)动词非谓语形式作主语、宾语。
有时需用it作形式主语或形式宾语。
如: This is no good arguing with him.(This→It)We think that necessary to have the bridge built first.(that→it)在复合宾语中,有时可直接用动名词作宾语;动名词或动词不定式可以作主语,但动词原形则不能直接充当句子主语。
如:The new policy made to make our ends meet possible.(to make→making)Know only the rules is not enough.(Knows→Knowing或To know)6.语气、语态、时态。
这类错误在数量上所占比例极少,主要是虚拟语气的用法错误、被动语态的误用及过去时与现在时的混用。
(四)其他语法方面的错误1.词性。
涉及:①名词与动词的误用。
如: approval——approve,sale——sell ②名词与形容词的误用。
如: medicine——medical/ medicinal,emotion——emotional ③形容词与副词的误用。
如: high——highly,mere——merely 这类错误常出现在be以外的系动词后。
如: feel badly→feel bad,grow uneasily→grow uneasy2.代词。
代词错误是短文改错中出现频率较高的几类错误之一,几乎每套试题中都有。
主要涉及:①指代错误。
主要是第三人称代词指代的误用;不定代词one和those与人称代词you和them的混用及指人与指物的误用等。
②关系代词的误用。
主要为that与which、who与which、as与which的误用;what与that 的混用;③形式代词it与this、that的误用。
如: find this important to preview the lesson(这里的this应改为形式宾语it)。
④不定代词的误用。
主要为不定代词与指示代词these或人称代词的误用;somone/sombody、everyone/everybody被误用作复数指代;some-、any-类合成代词与no-类合成代词的混用等。
3.名词的数。
这类错误主要涉及:①可数名词与不可数名词概念的混淆;②需用复数时误用单数;③不规则复数名词的曲折变化形式错误等。
如: find a work→find a job 2 woman doctors→2 women doctors these phenomenon→these phenomena4.冠词。
主要为:①该用冠词时漏用;②不该用冠词时赘用;③the与a/ an误用;④a与an混用。
如: tell truth→tell the truth give a rise to→give rise to a“s”sign→an“s”sign5.主谓一致。
这类错误常被设计在句型较为复杂的结构中,要特别小心。
常见以下几种情况:①主语较长或谓语动词离主语较远:The child,being taken care of by its grandparents,are deaf and mute.(are →is)②倒装句:Standing in a line along the corridor is3groups of young pioneers who will set out on an expedition.(is→are)③定语从句:The book many students found interesting that were written by a famous American scientist came out only last month.(were→was)④特殊句型:There are no denying the facts and there are no facts that can be turned a blind eye to either.(第一个are→is)6.形容词、副词及其比较级。
