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”。

Between the ages of about 1__________seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did sowith the conscience that I was outraging my true nature and that 2___________soon or later I should have to settle down and write books. 3___________I was the child of three, but there was a gap of five years 4__________on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. Forthis and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developeddisagreeing mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my 5_____________schooldays. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories andholding conversations with imaginative persons, and I think from 6_________the very start my literal ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of 7________being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with wordsand a power of facing in unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created 8________a sort of private world which I could get my own back for my failure 9________in everyday life. Therefore, the volume of serious — i.e. seriously 10________intended — writing which I produced all through my childhood andboyhood would not amount to half a dozen pages. I wrote my firstpoem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation.1，在grow后加up, 考固定短语2，改consience为consciousness 考词语区别，consience翻译为“良心，道德心”, consiousness翻译为“意识”3，改soon为sooner，sooner or later是固定短语4，在child前加middle, 考上下文理解。

英语专八改错部分真题及答案

英语专八改错部分真题及答案英语专八改错部分真题及答案So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is, every language appears to be as well equipped as any other to say the things its speakers want to say. It may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive peoples or cultures, but that is another matter. Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice or the engraving of Benares brass. But this is not the fault of their language. The Eskimos can speak about snow with a great deal more precision and subtlety than we can in English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of those sometimes miscalled ’primitive’) is inherently more precise and subtle than English. This example does not bring to light a defect in English, a show of unexpected ’primitiveness’. The position is simply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in different environments. The English language would be just as rich in terms for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinction important. Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed part of the Eskimos’ life. For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth century could 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 vehicles which send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens. How many ofus could distinguish between 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 ?1 be后插入 as;2 their改为its;3 There改为It;4 Whereas改为But;5 further 改为much6 come改为bring;7 similar改为different;8 will改为would;9 as important去掉as;10 the part去掉the。

专八_改错_练习15篇带答案解析

Error-correction Exercise 16NASA is about to launch a large satellite that will monitorthe health of Earth's atmosphere in unprecedented detail, and 1____________ keeping daily track of everything from the upper ozone layer,that guards against solar radiation, to the air near the 2____________ ground that people breathe. The $785 million missionis to be launched Saturday from Vandenberg Air Force Basein California. A Boeing Delta II rocket will send the 6,542-poundspacecraft into a 438-mile-high polar orbit. That is to scan the 3____________ atmosphere for at least six years.The craft, naming Aura, is the third and final addition to a series 4____________ of major satellites making up NASA's Earth Observing System,an initial set of spacecraft that designed to study all of the processes 5____________ that affect the Earth's climate and weather. Terra, which monitorsland-based processes, was launched in 1999; Aqua, which observesthe oceans and water cycle of Earth, sent up in 2002. These flagship 6____________ spacecrafts, joined by more than a dozen of other satellites launched by 7____________ the United States and several other nations, allow long-term studiesof the factors that influence climate change, using many differentinstruments. The launching is fundamentally a mission to understandand protect the very air we breathe. In conjunction with the 8____________ climate observatories, Aura should make a major contribution todetermine the causes, extent and consequences of global change. 9____________ The spacecraft carries four instruments that will survey theatmosphere from top to bottom, including monitoring ozonein its good and bad forms. In the upper atmosphere, ozone in thestratosphere provides a protective barrier for harmful ultraviolet 10___________ radiation from the Sun. In the troposphere, the atmospheric layerthat goes from the ground up to about six miles, ozone producedby combustion is a major pollutant in smog.Error-correction Exercise 17Mars has provoked much speculation on the possibilities 1___________ of life on Earth than any other planet in the Solar System. 2___________ The presence of water is a prerequisite forexisting of life. Therefore, “follow the water” has 3___________ been NASA’s chief guideline for the exploration of 4___________ a red planet. Although Mars experiences seasons likeon Earth an has polar caps which composed of 5___________ carbon dioxide and water ice, today it is bone-dry andfrigidly cold. But evidence is rapidly accumulating thatMars is once much wetter, with a more clement climate. 6___________This evidence comes from orbiting satellites and fromdata collected by roving landers.Since the 1970’s, space probes of Mars have revealed 7___________ numerous features apparent carved by flowing water, 8___________ such as winding, branched valleys resemblingdriedout streambeds and giant outflow channels gougedby catastrophic floods. Recent high-resolution imageryfrom the Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Orbiter Cameraand the Mars Odyssey Themis reveal numerous examples 9___________ of branched valleys that form tightly-packed integrateddrainage system. There channels origins at topographichigh points; the valleys widen “downstream”, someeven displaying inner valleys. The valley networksexhibit morph metric characteristics, including networksdensities, comparative to those of terrestrial drainage basins. 10__________ These features were most likely produced by rainfall, duringwetter, warmer periods in the past.Error-correction Exercise 18The word petroleum has its root in the Latin word oleum, 1___________ which means oil, and the Greek word petra, which means rock..The word petrified shares with the same Greek root. As the 2___________ price of oleum has soared up, the links between fear and petroleum 3___________ have become clear to economists as well as etymologists.Fears of heating-oil shortage this winter helped to push thebenchmark price of crude over $55 per barrel, a new record, onMonday October 18th. The spike in oil prices, up by over60% since the start of the year, is by turn, raising fears for the 4___________ global recovery. Even oil exporters are worried. The high pricesthey currently enjoy will slow economic growth next year,warned the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries(OPEC) on Monday. If oil remains expensive, cartel 5___________ Pointed out, people will by less of it. The last week, for the 6___________ first time since June, American motorists paid more than $2average for a gallon of petrol. To fill their tank these days,they must shell out almost 30% more than last year. Therefore 7___________ the anxiety is not confined to the petrol pump. About 7.7mAmerican households, most of whom in the north-east, rely 8___________ on oil to warm their homes. In a cold snap, they draw onstockpiles of heating oil, amassed at various points around thecountry.Inflation remains at bay, for the moment, most workers 9___________ expect it to stay that way. There is a little sign yet that higher 10___________oil prices are feeding into higher wage demands. It would thusbe too much to say that central bankers are petrified by petroleum.But as the price of oil sets new records, their rock-like confidenceis beginning to crumble.Error-correction Exercise 19When an invention is made, the inventor has threepossible courses of action open for him: he can give the 1___________ invention to the world by publishing it, keep the ideasecrete, or paten it.A granted paten is the result of a bargain betweenan inventor and the state, by which the inventor gets alimited period of monopoly and publishes full detailsof his invention to the public after that period terminates.Only in the most exceptional circumstances are the life-span 2___________ of a patent extended to alter this normal process of events.The longest extension never granted was to Georges Vlensi; 3___________ his 1939 patent for color TV receiver circuitry was extendeduntil 1971 because for most of the patent’s normal life therewas no colorful TV to receive and thus no hope of reward to 4___________ the invention.Because a patent remains permanently public afterit has terminated, the shelves of the library attaching to the 5___________ patent office contain details of literally millions of ideasthat are free for anyone advise to use and, if older thanhalf a century, sometimes even patent,. Indeed, patent 6___________ experts often advise anyone wishing to avoid the highcost of conducting a search through live patent that theone sure of avoiding violation of any other inventor’sright is to plagiarize a dead patent. Likely, because 7___________ publication of an idea in any other form permanentlyinvalidates further patent on that idea, it is traditionally 8___________ safe to take ideas from other areas of print. Much moderntechnological advance is based on these presumptions oflegal security.Anyone closely involved in patents and inventionssoon learn that most “new” ideas are, in fact, as old as thehills. It is their reduction to commercial practice, neither 9___________ through necessity or dedication, or through the availabilityof new technology, which makes news and money. 10___________ Error-correction Exercise 20How can an organization’s sales operation beimproved? One of the key to becoming more effective 1___________ is to first determine the type of “selling process” whichneeds to be used. With other words, the role the salesperson 2___________ must play has to be identified. There are three differentprocesses sales staff can adapt: narrative, suggestive and 3___________ consultative.The narrative approach depends on the salespersonmove quickly into a standardized presentation. Every buyer 4___________ receives the same presentation. Emphasis is to highlighting 5___________ benefits and how the product or services can help the buyer.This is an effective approach if the buying motive for allcustomers is basically the same. This process is well suitedwhich there are a great number of prospects to be called on. 6__________ The suggestive approach depends on the sellerbeing in a position to offer alternated recommendations. 7__________ This is quite different from the narrative approach as thepresentation is tailored to the individual customer. Here,the salesperson must initiate some discussion in order toget the buyer in a negative frame of mind. 8__________ The consultative approach requires the salespersonto have a thorough understanding of the customer and whatthe customer is trying to achieve. The role of the salespersonis to become an adviser or consultant and she/he must acquire agreat deal of informations from the customer. With this information 9__________ the salesperson can plan what to offer the customer.Hiring, training, motivating and rewarding salespersonneed to be linked the type of sales process being used and 10__________ that where the problem starts. A key issue in developing aprofessional sales organization is in first establishing thesales process. When the decision has been made, all othersales decisions, including hiring, training and rewards canbe linked to it.Error-correction Exercise 21Ethnography is the study of a particular humansociety or the process of making such a study.Contemporary ethnography is based almost entirelyon fieldwork and requires the complete immersionof the anthropologist on the culture and everyday life 1___________ of the people who are the subject of this study. Ethnography,by virtue with its intersubjective nature, is necessarily 2___________ comparative. Giving that the anthropologist in the field 3___________necessarily retains certain cultural biases, his/herobservation and description must, to certain degree, 4___________ be comparative. Thus the formulating of generalizationabout culture and the drawing of comparisons inevitablybecomes components of ethnography. 5___________ Modern anthropologists usually identify theestablishment of ethnography as a professional field and 6___________ the pioneering work of the Polish-born British anthropologistBronislaw Malinowski in the Trobriand Islangs of Melanesia.Ethnographic field word has since become a sort of rite ofpassage into the profession of cultural anthropology. Manyethnographers reside above the field for a year or more, learning 7___________ the local language or dialect and, to the greatest extentpossible, participating in everyday life while at the sametime maintain an observer’s objective detachment. 8___________ Contemporary ethnographies usually adhere to acommunity, rather than individual, focus and concentrateon the description of current circumstance ratherthan historical event. Traditionally, commonalities amongmembers of the group have been emphasized, because recent 9___________ ethnography has begun to reflect an interest in theimportance of variation within cultural systems. Ethnographicstudies are no longer restricted to small primitive societies butmay also focus on such social units as urban ghettos. The toolof the ethnographer have changed ra dically since Malinowaski’stime, while detailed notes are still a mainstay of field word,ethnographers have taken full advantage over technological 10___________ development such as motion pictures and tape recorders toargument their written accounts.Error-correction Exercise 22Unlike those other notoriously missing items - the weapons ofmass destruction - television's missing young men appear tohave found, back in front of their TV sets. 1___________ The case of the missing young men began roiling the televisionindustry a year ago. Droves of men from ages 18 to 34, one ofthe groups most coveted by advertisers, had seemly stopped 2___________ watching television, according to the sole ratings arbiter, NielsenMedia Research. Commentary abounded that a significant culturalshift had taken place and that a generation of men were steadily 3____________ quitting television-viewing, forsook both network and cable 4____________ programs in favor of video games, DVD's and the Internet.Nielsen stands by its ratings, therefore in a development that several 5___________Nielsen critics call utterly it predictable, the most recent evidence indicates 6___________ that the young men are back, watching television in pretty much thesame numbers they were two years before. 7___________ In July, one year after the falloff was detected, an average of 25.8percent of men from ages 18 to 34 were watching television at anygiving moment in prime time. That figure was up from the 24.7 8___________ percent that Nielsen reported a year ago - and virtually the same as the25.9 percent that it reported for the group in July 2002."It kind of went right back to what God intended it to be," the president 9___________ for research for NBC, Alan Wurtzel, said. Mr. Wurtzel's facetiousness wasmatched by a real sense of vindication. He was among the most vocalof the critics who took on Nielsen last year, saying its numbers - whichin September showed a drop in viewing by young men of more than10 percent - could possibly be accurate because they were so inconsistent 10__________ with viewing patterns established over years of measurement.Error-correction Exercise 23The stunningly slow pace of job creation, which sank to growthof just 32,000 in July, has provided new ammunition in an intense politicaldebate in job quality. For months, Democrats have said that the 1___________ long-delay employment recovery was concentrated in low-wage jobs 2___________ that paid far less than those that lost. White House officials replied 3___________ that the available data failed to settle the matter one way or the other.The data is still inconclusive. But the weakness in job creation andthe apparent weakness in high-paying jobs may be opposite sides ofa coin. Companies still seem cautiously, relying on temporary workers 4___________ and anxious about rising health care costs associating with full-time workers. 5___________ Many economists say that over the long term, the most vulnerable positionsare those at the low end of the wage scale that requires fewer skills and are 6___________ easily replicated. Even now, at a time when a proportionate number of 7___________ new jobs appear to be lower-paying ones, there has been growth in somehigh-income occupations like accounting, architecture and software.Yet the earnings gap between the highest-paid employees and the rest ofthe work force is still widening, as it was over most of the last 30 years. 8___________ The trend is most striking in factories, which accounted for the bulk of joblosses in the last three years and tending to pay above-average wages. 9___________ In contrast with previous recoveries, when companies rehired a large 10___________ proportion of laid-off workers, manufacturers have added only 91,000jobs this year, having eliminated more than two million jobs in the previousthree years.Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the generalpublic and to sociologists that modern society has changed people’snatural relations, loosed their responsibilities to 1_____________ kins 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 re-vealed that the “obvious” is not true. It seems that if you are a cityresident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighborsthan you if you are a resident of a smaller community. 4_____________ But, for the most part, this fact has a few significant 5_____________ consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you knowfew of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social tieswithin small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality ofmeaningful relationship do not differ between more and less urban 6____________ people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than do 7____________ big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friend-ships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanismmay produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does notdiffer 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, citydwellers do worry more about crime, and thisleads them to a distrust for strangers. 10___________Error-correction Exercise 25The violence within a society is controlled through institutionsof law. The most developed a legal system becomes, the more 1____________ societies takes responsibility for the discovery, control, and punish- 2____________ ment of violent acts. In most tribal societies the only means todealing with an act of violence is revenge. Each family group may 3____________ have the responsibility for personal carrying out judgment and 4____________ punishment upon the person who did the offense. 5____________ But in legal systems, the responsibility for revenge becomespersonalized and diffused. The society assumes the responsibility for 6___________ protecting individuals form violence. In cases where he cannot be 7___________ protected, the society is responsible for committing punishment. 8___________ In a state controlling legal system, individuals are removed 9___________ from the circle of revenge motivated by acts of violence, and the 10___________ state assumes responsibility for their protection.Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimatelyhave political and economical causes: it is not due simply to the bad 1____________ influence of this or that individual writers. But an effect can become 2____________ a cause, reinforce the original cause and producing the same effect 3____________ in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take drink 4____________ because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the most 5____________ completely 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 language makes 6____________ it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the processis irreversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of 7____________ bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if oneis willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets ride of these habitsone can think more clearly, and think clearly is a necessary first 8____________ step toward political regeneration: so that the fight against badEnglish is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concerning of pro- 9____________ fessional writers. I will come back to this present, and I hope that by 10____________ that time the meaning of what I have said here will have becomeclearer.Error-correction Exercise 27This brings us to a seeming paradox. Acutely aware of the smallestconstitution particles of time, industrialized man has to a great 1____________ extent lose the old awareness of time in its larger divisions. The 2____________ time which we have knowledge is artificial, machine-made time. 3____________ Natural, cosmic time, as is measured out by the sun and the moon, 4____________ we are for the most part almost wholly unconscious. Pre-industrialpeople know time in its daily, monthly and seasonal rhythms. Theyare aware of sunrise and of spring and summer, autumn and winter.All the old religions, including Catholic Christianity, has insisted on 5____________ this daily and seasonal rhythm. Pre-industrial man was never allowedto forget the majestic movement of cosmic time.Industrialism and urbanism have changed all this. One can liveand work in a town without aware of the daily march of the sun 6____________ across the sky. Broadway and Piccadilly are our Milky Way；ourconstellations are outlined in neon tubes. Even changes of seasonaffect the townsman very a little. He is the inhabitant of an artificial 7____________ universe that, to a great extent, walled off from the world of nature. 8____________ Outside the walls, time is cosmic and moves with the motion ofthe sun and stars. Within, it is an affair of revolving wheals and ismeasured by seconds and minutes----at its longest, in eight-hour days 9____________and six-day weeks. We have a new conscience, but it has been pur- 10____________ chased at the expense of the old.Error-correction Exercise 28Culture in general is concerned about beliefs and values on the 1___________ basis of which people interpret experiences and behave, individuallyand in groups. Broadly an d simply putting, “culture” refers to a 2___________ group or community with that you share common experiences that 3___________ shape the way how you understand the world. Culture is the “lens” 4___________ through which you view the world. It is central to what you see,how you make sense of what you see, and how you express your-self. Culture is often at the root of communication challenges. Explo-ring historical experiences and the ways in which various culturalgroups have related to each other is key to open channels for cross- 5___________ cultural communication. Becoming more beware of cultural differ- 6___________ ences, as well as exploring cultural similarities, can help you com-municate with the others more effectively. Next time you find your- 7___________ self a confusing situation, ask yourself how culture may be shap- 8___________ ing your own reactions, and try to see the world from the other’spoint of view. Anthropologists discovered that, when faced by inter-action that we do not understand, people tend to interpret the othersinvolved as “abnormal”, “weird” or “wrong”. Awareness of culturaldifferences and recognizing where cultural differences are in 9___________ work is the first step toward understanding each other and establish 10___________ a positive working environment. Use these differences to challengeyour own assumptions about the “right” way of doing things and as achance to learn new ways to solve problems.Error-correction Exercise 29In May, dozens of factory workers and landscapers lined up outside athree-story concrete building here on Drift Street, snaking aroundthe block to register their children for classes at a preschool that run by 1___________ the Puerto Rican Action Board, a private nonprofitable group. 2___________ On Monday, many of them will gather together at the State House in Trenton 3___________ to try to keep their beloved school from closing. They plan to protestthat they claim is a form of institutional bias. The New Jersey Department 4___________ of Education, they argue, wants to eliminate the community-based,most nonprofit private preschool programs like the one that the 5___________ Puerto Rican Action Board runs.The group, which started offering preschool in 1973, maintains thatthe state is refusing to cover raising costs in violation of a 1998 6___________ state Supreme Court ruling mandating that 30 poor districts will receive 7___________everything they need to create "well-planned, high-quality" preschools.Without the money, it says, it will have to close its three preschools here.The Department of Education says the Puerto Rican Action Boardreceives plenty of money - about $9,700 for each of its 225 children,close to $1,000 on average than the state's public preschools, and 8___________ more than twice what public preschools receive in New York.At the heart of the battle, however, it lies a much larger debate about 9___________ the role of private nonprofit agencies in a public system. The Puerto RicanAction Board and other social service agencies have been offering preschoolfor decades, and the court decision explicitly states that any schoolunable to meet the court's education standard "should be supplied with 10__________ the necessary funding to be able to do so."Error-correction Exercise 30For many materials the process of turning them back into usefulraw materials are straightforward: metals are shredded into pieces, 1____________ paper is reduced to pulp and glass is crushed into cullet. Metalsand glass can be remelted almost indefinitely without any lossof quality, while paper can be recycled up to six times. 2____________ Plastics, which are made of fossil fuels, are somewhat different. 3____________ Because they have many useful properties—they are flexible, 4____________ lightweight and can be shaped into any form—there are manydifferent types, most of them need to be processed separately. 5____________ In 2005 less than 6% of the plastic from America's municipalwaste stream was recovered. And of that small fraction, the onlytwo types recycling in significant quantities were PET and HDPE. 6____________ For PET, food-grade bottle-to-bottle recycling exists. But plasticis often “down-cycled” into other products such as plastic lumber,drain pipes and carpet fibres, which tend to end up in landfills and 7___________ incinerators at the end of their useful lives.And so, plastics are being used more and more, not just for packaging, 8___________ but also in consumer goods such as cars, televisions and personalcomputers. Because such products are made of a variety of materialsand can contain multiple types of plastic, metals and glass, they areespecially difficult and expensive to dismantle and recycle.Europe and Japan have initiated “take back” laws that requireelectronics manufacturers recycle their products.

专八_改错_练习15篇带答案解析

专八_改错_练习15篇带答案解析Error-correction Exercise 16NASA is about to launch a large satellite that will monitorthe health of Earth's atmosphere in unprecedented detail, and 1____________ keeping daily track of everything from the upper ozone layer,that guards against solar radiation, to the air near the 2____________ ground that people breathe. The $785 million missionis to be launched Saturday from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. A Boeing Delta II rocket will send the 6,542-poundspacecraft into a 438-mile-high polar orbit. That is to scan the 3____________ atmosphere for at least six years.The craft, naming Aura, is the third and final addition to a series 4____________ of major satellites making up NASA's Earth Observing System,an initial set of spacecraft that designed to study all of the processes 5____________ that affect the Earth's climate and weather. Terra, which monitorsland-based processes, was launched in 1999; Aqua, which observesthe oceans and water cycle of Earth, sent up in 2002. These flagship 6____________ spacecrafts, joined by more than a dozen of other satellites launched by 7____________ the United States and several other nations, allow long-term studiesof the factors that influence climate change, using many differentinstruments. The launching is fundamentally a mission tounderstandand protect the very air we breathe. In conjunction with the 8____________ climate observatories, Aura should make a major contribution todetermine the causes, extent and consequences of global change. 9____________ The spacecraft carries four instruments that will survey theatmosphere from top to bottom, including monitoring ozone in its good and bad forms. In the upper atmosphere, ozone in thestratosphere provides a protective barrier for harmful ultraviolet 10___________ radiation from the Sun. In the troposphere, the atmospheric layerthat goes from the ground up to about six miles, ozone producedby combustion is a major pollutant in smog.Error-correction Exercise 17Mars has provoked much speculation on the possibilities 1___________ of life on Earth than any other planet in the Solar System. 2___________ The presence of water is a prerequisite for existing of life. Therefore, “follow the water” has 3___________ been NASA’s chief guideline for the exploration of 4___________ a red planet. Although Mars experiences seasons like on Earth an has polar caps which composed of 5___________ carbon dioxide and water ice, today it is bone-dry and frigidly cold. But evidence is rapidly accumulating thatMars is once much wetter, with a more clement climate. 6___________This evidence comes from orbiting satellites and fromdata collected by roving landers.Since the 1970’s, sp ace probes of Mars have revealed 7___________ numerous features apparent carved by flowing water, 8___________ such as winding, branched valleys resembling driedout streambeds and giant outflow channels gougedby catastrophic floods. Recent high-resolution imageryfrom the Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Orbiter Cameraand the Mars Odyssey Themis reveal numerous examples 9___________ of branched valleys that form tightly-packed integrateddrainage system. There channels origins at topographichigh points; the va lleys widen “downstream”, someeven displaying inner valleys. The valley networksexhibit morph metric characteristics, including networksdensities, comparative to those of terrestrial drainage basins. 10__________ These features were most likely produced by rainfall, duringwetter, warmer periods in the past.Error-correction Exercise 18The word petroleum has its root in the Latin word oleum, 1___________ which means oil, and the Greek word petra, which means rock..The word petrified shares with the same Greek root. As the 2___________ price of oleum has soared up, the links between fear and petroleum 3___________ have become clear to economists as well as etymologists.Fears of heating-oil shortage this winter helped to push the benchmark price of crude over $55 per barrel, a new record, onMonday October 18th. The spike in oil prices, up by over60% since the start of the year, is by turn, raising fears for the4___________ global recovery. Even oil exporters are worried. The high pricesthey currently enjoy will slow economic growth next year,warned the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries(OPEC) on Monday. If oil remains expensive, cartel 5___________ Pointed out, people will by less of it. The last week, for the 6___________ first time since June, American motorists paid more than $2average for a gallon of petrol. To fill their tank these days,they must shell out almost 30% more than last year. Therefore 7___________ the anxiety is not confined to the petrol pump. About 7.7mAmerican households, most of whom in the north-east, rely 8___________ on oil to warm their homes. In a cold snap, they draw onstockpiles of heating oil, amassed at various points around thecountry.Inflation remains at bay, for the moment, most workers 9___________ expect it to stay that way. There is a little sign yet that higher 10___________oil prices are feeding into higher wage demands. It would thusbe too much to say that central bankers are petrified by petroleum.But as the price of oil sets new records, their rock-like confidenceis beginning to crumble.Error-correction Exercise 19When an invention is made, the inventor has threepossible courses of action open for him: he can give the 1___________ invention to the world by publishing it, keep the idea secrete, or paten it.A granted paten is the result of a bargain betweenan inventor and the state, by which the inventor gets alimited period of monopoly and publishes full detailsof his invention to the public after that period terminates.Only in the most exceptional circumstances are the life-span 2___________ of a patent extended to alter this normal process of events.The longest extension never granted was to Georges Vlensi; 3___________ his 1939 patent for color TV receiver circuitry was extendeduntil 1971 because for most of the patent’s normal life there was no colorful TV to receive and thus no hope of reward to 4___________ the invention.Because a patent remains permanently public afterit has terminated, the shelves of the library attaching to the 5___________ patent office contain details of literally millions of ideasthat are free for anyone advise to use and, if older thanhalf a century, sometimes even patent,. Indeed, patent 6___________ experts often advise anyone wishing to avoid the highcost of conducting a search through live patent that theone sure of avoiding violation of any other inventor’sright is to plagiarize a dead patent. Likely, because 7___________ publication of an idea in any other form permanently invalidates further patent on that idea, it is traditionally8___________ safe to take ideas from other areas of print. Much moderntechnological advance is based on these presumptions oflegal security.Anyone closely involved in patents and inventionssoon learn that most “new” ideas are, in fact, as old as the hills. It is their reduction to commercial practice, neither 9___________ through necessity or dedication, or through the availabilityof new technology, which makes news and money. 10___________ Error-correction Exercise 20How can an organization’s sales operation beimproved? One of the key to becoming more effective 1___________ is to first determine the type of “selling process” whichneeds to be used. With other words, the role the salesperson 2___________ must play has to be identified. There are three differentprocesses sales staff can adapt: narrative, suggestive and 3___________ consultative.The narrative approach depends on the salespersonmove quickly into a standardized presentation. Every buyer 4___________ receives the same presentation. Emphasis is to highlighting 5___________ benefits and how the product or services can help the buyer.This is an effective approach if the buying motive for allcustomers is basically the same. This process is well suited which there are a great number of prospects to be called on. 6__________ The suggestive approach depends on the seller being in a position to offer alternated recommendations.7__________ This is quite different from the narrative approach as thepresentation is tailored to the individual customer. Here,the salesperson must initiate some discussion in order toget the buyer in a negative frame of mind. 8__________ The consultative approach requires the salespersonto have a thorough understanding of the customer and what the customer is trying to achieve. The role of the salesperson is to become an adviser or consultant and she/he must acquire agreat deal of informations from the customer. With this information 9__________ the salesperson can plan what to offer the customer.Hiring, training, motivating and rewarding salespersonneed to be linked the type of sales process being used and 10__________ that where the problem starts. A key issue in developing aprofessional sales organization is in first establishing thesales process. When the decision has been made, all other sales decisions, including hiring, training and rewards canbe linked to it.Error-correction Exercise 21Ethnography is the study of a particular humansociety or the process of making such a study.Contemporary ethnography is based almost entirelyon fieldwork and requires the complete immersionof the anthropologist on the culture and everyday life 1___________ of the people who are the subject of this study. Ethnography,by virtue with its intersubjective nature, is necessarily2___________ comparative. Giving that the anthropologist in the field 3___________necessarily retains certain cultural biases, his/herobservation and description must, to certain degree, 4___________ be comparative. Thus the formulating of generalizationabout culture and the drawing of comparisons inevitablybecomes components of ethnography. 5___________ Modern anthropologists usually identify theestablishment of ethnography as a professional field and 6___________ the pioneering work of the Polish-born British anthropologistBronislaw Malinowski in the Trobriand Islangs of Melanesia.Ethnographic field word has since become a sort of rite of passage into the profession of cultural anthropology. Many ethnographers reside above the field for a year or more, learning 7___________ the local language or dialect and, to the greatest extentpossible, participating in everyday life while at the sametime maintain an observer’s objective detachment. 8___________ Contemporary ethnographies usually adhere to a community, rather than individual, focus and concentrateon the description of current circumstance ratherthan historical event. Traditionally, commonalities amongmembers of the group have been emphasized, because recent 9___________ ethnography has begun to reflect an interest in theimportance of variation within cultural systems. Ethnographicstudies are no longer restricted to small primitive societiesbutmay also focus on such social units as urban ghettos. The toolof the ethnographer have changed ra dically since Malinowaski’stime, while detailed notes are still a mainstay of field word, ethnographers have taken full advantage over technological 10___________ development such as motion pictures and tape recorders toargument their written accounts.Error-correction Exercise 22Unlike those other notoriously missing items - the weapons ofmass destruction - television's missing young men appear to have found, back in front of their TV sets. 1___________ The case of the missing young men began roiling the television industry a year ago. Droves of men from ages 18 to 34, one ofthe groups most coveted by advertisers, had seemly stopped 2___________ watching television, according to the sole ratings arbiter, NielsenMedia Research. Commentary abounded that a significant culturalshift had taken place and that a generation of men were steadily 3____________ quitting television-viewing, forsook both network and cable 4____________ programs in favor of video games, DVD's and the Internet.Nielsen stands by its ratings, therefore in a development that several 5___________Nielsen critics call utterly it predictable, the most recentevidence indicates 6___________ that the young men are back, watching television in pretty much thesame numbers they were two years before. 7___________ In July, one year after the falloff was detected, an average of 25.8 percent of men from ages 18 to 34 were watching television at anygiving moment in prime time. That figure was up from the 24.7 8___________ percent that Nielsen reported a year ago - and virtually the same as the25.9 percent that it reported for the group in July 2002."It kind of went right back to what God intended it to be," the president 9___________ for research for NBC, Alan Wurtzel, said. Mr. Wurtzel's facetiousness wasmatched by a real sense of vindication. He was among the most vocalof the critics who took on Nielsen last year, saying its numbers - whichin September showed a drop in viewing by young men of more than10 percent - could possibly be accurate because they were so inconsistent 10__________ with viewing patterns established over years of measurement.Error-correction Exercise 23The stunningly slow pace of job creation, which sank to growthof just 32,000 in July, has provided new ammunition in an intense politicaldebate in job quality. For months, Democrats have said that the 1___________ long-delay employment recovery was concentrated in low-wage jobs 2___________ that paid far less thanthose that lost. White House officials replied 3___________ that the available data failed to settle the matter one way or the other.The data is still inconclusive. But the weakness in job creation andthe apparent weakness in high-paying jobs may be opposite sides ofa coin. Companies still seem cautiously, relying on temporary workers 4___________ and anxious about rising health care costs associating with full-time workers. 5___________ Many economists say that over the long term, the most vulnerable positions are those at the low end of the wage scale that requires fewer skills and are 6___________ easily replicated. Even now, at a time when a proportionate number of 7___________ new jobs appear to be lower-paying ones, there has been growth in some high-income occupations like accounting, architecture and software.Yet the earnings gap between the highest-paid employees and the rest ofthe work force is still widening, as it was over most of the last 30 years. 8___________ The trend is most striking in factories, which accounted for the bulk of joblosses in the last three years and tending to pay above-average wages. 9___________ In contrast with previous recoveries, when companies rehired a large 10___________ proportion of laid-off workers, manufacturers have added only 91,000jobs this year, having eliminated more than two million jobs in the previousthree years.Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the generalpublic and to sociologists that modern society has changed people’snatural relations, loosed their responsibilities to 1_____________ kins 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 re-ve aled that the “obvious” is not true. It seems that if you are a cityresident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighborsthan you if you are a resident of a smaller community. 4_____________ But, for the most part, this fact has a few significant 5_____________ consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you knowfew of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social tieswithin small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality ofmeaningful relationship do not differ between more and less urban 6____________ people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than do 7____________ big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friend-ships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanismmay produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does notdiffer between town and city. Or are residents of large communities 8___________ any likely to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation 9___________ than are residentsof smaller communities. However, citydwellers do worry more about crime, and thisleads them to a distrust for strangers. 10___________Error-correction Exercise 25The violence within a society is controlled through institutionsof law. The most developed a legal system becomes, the more 1____________ societies takes responsibility for the discovery, control, and punish- 2____________ ment of violent acts. In most tribal societies the only means todealing with an act of violence is revenge. Each family group may 3____________ have the responsibility for personal carrying out judgment and 4____________ punishment upon the person who did the offense. 5____________ But in legal systems, the responsibility for revenge becomespersonalized and diffused. The society assumes the responsibility for 6___________ protecting individuals form violence. In cases where he cannot be 7___________ protected, the society is responsible for committing punishment. 8___________ In a state controlling legal system, individuals are removed 9___________ from the circle of revenge motivated by acts of violence, and the 10___________ state assumes responsibility for their protection.Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economical causes: it is not due simply to the bad 1____________ influence of this or that individual writers. But an effect can become 2____________ a cause, reinforce the original cause and producing the same effect 3____________ in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take drink 4____________ because he feels himself to be a failure, and thenfail all the most 5____________ completely 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 language makes 6____________ it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the processis irreversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of 7____________ bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if oneis willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets ride of these habitsone can think more clearly, and think clearly is a necessary first 8____________ step toward political regeneration: so that the fight against badEnglish is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concerning of pro- 9____________ fessional writers. I will come back to this present, and I hope that by 10____________ that time the meaning of what I have said here will have becomeclearer.Error-correction Exercise 27This brings us to a seeming paradox. Acutely aware of the smallestconstitution particles of time, industrialized man has to a great 1____________ extent lose the old awareness of time in its larger divisions. The 2____________ time which we have knowledge is artificial, machine-made time. 3____________ Natural, cosmic time, as is measured out by the sun and the moon, 4____________ we are for the most part almost wholly unconscious. Pre-industrialpeople know time in its daily, monthly and seasonal rhythms. Theyare aware of sunrise and of spring and summer, autumn and winter.All the old religions, including Catholic Christianity, has insisted on 5____________ this daily and seasonal rhythm. Pre-industrial man was never allowedto forget the majestic movement of cosmic time.Industrialism and urbanism have changed all this. One can liveand work in a town without aware of the daily march of the sun 6____________ across the sky. Broadway and Piccadilly are our Milky Way；ourconstellations are outlined in neon tubes. Even changes of seasonaffect the townsman very a little. He is the inhabitant of an artificial 7____________ universe that, to a great extent, walled off from the world of nature. 8____________ Outside the walls, time is cosmic and moves with the motion ofthe sun and stars. Within, it is an affair of revolving wheals and ismeasured by seconds and minutes----at its longest, in eight-hour days 9____________and six-day weeks. We have a new conscience, but it has been pur- 10____________ chased at the expense of the old.Error-correction Exercise 28Culture in general is concerned about beliefs and values on the 1___________ basis of which people interpret experiences and behave, individuallyand in groups. Broadly an d simply putting, “culture” refersto a 2___________ group or community with that you share common experiences that 3___________ shape the way how you understand the world. Culture is the “lens” 4___________ through which you view the world. It is central to what you see, how you make sense of what you see, and how you express your-self. Culture is often at the root of communication challenges. Explo-ring historical experiences and the ways in which various culturalgroups have related to each other is key to open channels for cross- 5___________ cultural communication. Becoming more beware of cultural differ- 6___________ ences, as well as exploring cultural similarities, can help you com-municate with the others more effectively. Next time you find your- 7___________ self a confusing situation, ask yourself how culture may be shap- 8___________ ing your own reactions, and try to see the world from the other’spoint of view. Anthropologists discovered that, when faced by inter-action that we do not understand, people tend to interpret the othersinvolved as “abnormal”, “weird” or “wrong”. Awareness of culturaldifferences and recognizing where cultural differences are in 9___________ work is the first step toward understanding each other and establish 10___________ a positive working environment. Use these differences to challengeyour own assumptions about the “right” way of doing things and as achance to learn new ways to solve problems.Error-correction Exercise 29In May, dozens of factory workers and landscapers lined up outside athree-story concrete building here on Drift Street, snaking aroundthe block to register their children for classes at a preschool that run by 1___________ the Puerto Rican Action Board, a private nonprofitable group. 2___________ On Monday, many of them will gather together at the State House in Trenton 3___________ to try to keep their beloved school from closing. They plan to protest that they claim is a form of institutional bias. The New Jersey Department 4___________ of Education, they argue, wants to eliminate the community-based,most nonprofit private preschool programs like the one that the 5___________ Puerto Rican Action Board runs.The group, which started offering preschool in 1973, maintains thatthe state is refusing to cover raising costs in violation of a 1998 6___________ state Supreme Court ruling mandating that 30 poor districts will receive 7___________everything they need to create "well-planned, high-quality" preschools.Without the money, it says, it will have to close its three preschools here.The Department of Education says the Puerto Rican Action Boardreceives plenty of money - about $9,700 for each of its 225 children,close to $1,000 on average than the state's public preschools,and 8___________ more than twice what public preschools receive in New York.At the heart of the battle, however, it lies a much larger debate about 9___________ the role of private nonprofit agencies in a public system. The Puerto RicanAction Board and other social service agencies have been offering preschoolfor decades, and the court decision explicitly states that any schoolunable to meet the court's education standard "should be supplied with 10__________ the necessary funding to be able to do so."Error-correction Exercise 30For many materials the process of turning them back into usefulraw materials are straightforward: metals are shredded into pieces, 1____________ paper is reduced to pulp and glass is crushed into cullet. Metalsand glass can be remelted almost indefinitely without any lossof quality, while paper can be recycled up to six times. 2____________ Plastics, which are made of fossil fuels, are somewhat different. 3____________ Because they have many useful properties—they are flexible, 4____________ lightweight and can be shaped into any form—there are manydifferent types, most of them need to be processed separately. 5____________ In 2005 less than 6% of the plastic from America's municipalwaste stream was recovered. And of that small fraction, the onlytwo types recycling in significant quantities were PET and HDPE. 6____________ For PET, food-grade bottle-to-bottle recycling exists. But plasticis often “down-cycled” into other products such as plastic lumber,drain pipes and carpet fibres, which tend to end up in landfills and 7___________ incinerators at the end of their useful lives.And so, plastics are being used more and more, not just for packaging, 8___________ but also in consumer goods such as cars, televisions and personalcomputers. Because such products are made of a variety of materialsand can contain multiple types of plastic, metals and glass, they areespecially difficult and expensive to dismantle and recycle.Europe and Japan have initiated “take back” laws that requireelectronics manufacturers recycle their products. But in America 9___________ only a handful of states have passed such legislation. That has causedproblems for companies that specialise in recycling plastics fromcomplex waste streams and dependent on take-back laws for getting 10___________ the necessary feedstock.Key to Error-correction Ex. 161．答案：去掉and，语法辨析题。

This mistake was due to a misunderstanding on my part while reviewing the play. I apologize for the confusion caused by the incorrect information provided in my essay.I understand the importance of accuracy in academic work, especially at the professional level, and I take full responsibility for this error. I assure you that this oversight was unintentional, and I am committed to correcting it.I have attached the revised version of my essay, which includes the correction of this mistake.
