专业八级改错

概述

改错题屈丁•主观题，考试大纲对改错部分的要求是：

测试要求：能运用语法、词汇、修辞等语言知识识别所给短文内的语病并提出改 正方法。考试吋间15分钟。

测试形式：木部分由一篇约250个单词的短文组成，短文中有10行标题号。该 10行内均含冇一个语病。要求学生根据“增添”、“删除”或“改变英屮的某一单词 或短语”三种方法中的一种改正语病。

测试目的：检查学生在实际语境中灵活运用语言知识的能力。该项目考察学生的 语法和词汇知识，但更侧重评估学生的综合语言能力。

历年的改错题得分率偏低。改革后的专八考试有10到改错题，每一题都设有错 误，这实际上降低了改错的难度，因为改错题口的类型是比较固定的，每-•行的 单词数量冇限，一筹莫展吋口J 以对照常见错误类型进行排除，从而迅速找到答案。 标号行冇冃仅冇一个错误；无标号行肯定正确。

三种改错方法：增词删词改词

第一章考察四种知识

篇章结构句法知识语法知识词汇知识

I.篇章结构

1.浏览全文，抓住主题句（2009年真题）

2.熟悉常用连接词

理解连接词的逻辑意义和句法结构。如，therefore是副词，替换时只能用副词however,而不能用连词while。

II.句法：

1.时态错误

近年的改错大多是论说文，一般都是以一般现在时为主。如果岀现过去时，一定要注意是否有过去的吋间标记。

仞J: We begin the t4naturaF, learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to read and write, and in our early years we went on unconsciously imitating and practicing the pronunciation of those around us for many more hours per every day than we ever have to spend learning even our difficult English spelling. （2002 年真题）

We begin the “natural、’ learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to read and write, and in our early years we went on unconsciously imitating and practicing the pronunciation of those around us for many more hours per every day than we ever

have to spend learning even our difficult English spelling. （2002 年真题）时间状语in our early years看似过去的时间状语，但该句为对一般事实的陈述。也看通过and 的前一小句判断。

改词：went改为go

2.非谓语动词错误

仞J: There is no material in any language today or in the earliest records of ancient languages show us language in a new and emerging state. （2007 年真题）

There is no material in any language today or in the earliest records of ancient languages show us language in a new and emerging state. （2007 年真题）改词:show改为showing

例:They say the increases are needed because of a loss in value of university endowments heavily investing in common stock. （2005 年真题）

They say the increases are needed because of a loss in value of university endowments heavily investing in common stock. （2005 年真题）

改词：investing 改为invested

3.从句错误

英语屮的定语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句、表语从句等是常考点。关系词代词或副词误用或缺失。

例：It is not a voice we recognize at once, whereas our own handwriting is something which we almost always know. （2002 年真题）

当先行词为something, anything, nothing, all等不定代词时,定语从句的先彳亍词只能用that,不用which.

例：As we know, life would only be possible on the surface of a planet had temperatures somewhere within this range. （1996 年真题）

As we know, life would only be possible on the surface of a planet had temperatures somewhere within this range. （1996 年真题）

增词：had前添加that或which

改词：had改为having

4.主谓一致错误

数的一致。关键找到真正的主语，不受其他成分干扰。定语从句中要找准先行词。例：The English speaker has in his disposal a vocabulary and a set of grammatical rules which enables him to communicate his thoughts and feelings, in a variety of styles, to the other English speaker.

改词：enables 改为enable
