henomenon __1__are inadequate here. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is __2__a region of space which matter has fallen and from which nothing can __3__escape—not even light. But we can’t see a black hole. A black hole __4__exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only space—or thus we think. How can this happen? __5__The theory is that some stars explode when their density increasesto a particular point。 they “collapse” and sometimes a supernova occurs.The collapse of a star may produce a “White Dwarf” of a “neutronstar”—a star which matter is so dense that if continually shrinks by the force of __6___its own gravity. But if the star is very large, this process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole results in. Imagine the earth reduced to the __7__size of a marble, but still having the same masses and a stronger __8__gravitational pull, and you have some ideas of the force of a black hole. __9__And no matter near the black hole is sucked in. __10__supernova 名詞,[天]超新星1. 將as 改為since或者because。在表示原因的連接詞中,只有as引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句不能位于主句之后,只能位于句首。2 .將adequate 改為inadequate,或者在are后加not。從邏輯上分析,因?yàn)槲覀儞碛械目茖W(xué)術(shù)語“不充足”,所以才無法回答這個(gè)問題,所以用否定形式。3. 在which 前加into。這是一個(gè)定語從句,意思是“黑洞是太空中物質(zhì)可以掉進(jìn)去的地方”,所以定語從句應(yīng)該為“into which matter has fallen”。4. 將but 改為 so。 上文已提到“連光都無法從黑洞中逃出”,所以我們根本無法看到黑洞。這里應(yīng)該是因果關(guān)系,而不是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。5 .將thus改為so。這句話的意思是“那只是空間—或者我們認(rèn)為它只是空間”。so做 think 的賓語,thus 只能做連詞,不能做賓語。6. 將which 改為whose。這個(gè)定語從句的意思是“它是一顆星,其密度非常大,由于自身的引力,它在不斷地收縮”。matter 屬于star,所以關(guān)系代詞應(yīng)該用whose。7 .去掉in。result為不及物動(dòng)詞,意為“形成了”,而“result in sth。”意為“導(dǎo)致某結(jié)果”。8. 將masses 改為mass。mass 可指“大量的物質(zhì)”,而“the masses”特指“勞動(dòng)群眾”,用在此處不妥。9 .將ideas 改為idea?!癷dea”在表達(dá)“印象”時(shí),為不可數(shù)名詞,不可以用復(fù)數(shù)。10. 將no改為any。分析便知,任何在黑洞附近的東西都會(huì)被吸進(jìn)去。英語專業(yè)八級(jí)改錯(cuò)練習(xí)題及答案解析(五) 改錯(cuò)題出現(xiàn)的錯(cuò)誤經(jīng)常包括:語法;詞匯;語篇1. 語法包括英語的時(shí)態(tài),語態(tài),倒裝句,虛擬語氣,主,謂,賓在數(shù),格,人稱上的一致。2 .詞匯方面,短文改錯(cuò)在用詞上的錯(cuò)誤主要集中在以下幾個(gè)方面:名次單復(fù)數(shù),可數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞的差異,形容詞與副詞,連詞與介詞的誤用,同義詞的混淆等。3. 語篇的改錯(cuò)旨在測試做題者在具體語境上下文中使用語法和詞匯的能力。從邏輯的意義上看,句與句之間的關(guān)系可以分為順序,并列,時(shí)間,空間,層遞,對(duì)比,轉(zhuǎn)折,解釋,因果,過渡,推論等。最好的做法是先通讀全文,結(jié)合上下文的邏輯關(guān)系回答問題。The great whales are among the most fascinating creatures which __1__have ever lived on the earth, and one of them, the blue whale, is the largest. People in ancient times thought whales as fearsome __2__monsters of the ocean depths. So to hunt a whale, when one occasionally swam toward shore, he was high adventure. People __3__found the adventure was rewarding, too, for the oil and meat fromone whale alone could heat and feed a village for a whole winter.Whales resemble huge fish. They were referred by the ancients as __4__“great fish,” and any whale beaching along the coasts of England was designated “the King’s fish” because it automatically belonged to the Crown.Ever since those early times, human have felt whales a sense of __5__wonder mixed with an intense desire to capture, slaughter, and exploit. Now the slaughter has reached alarming proportions. __6__Even though some species are protected by the regulations of the International Whaling Commission and theoretically all whalehunting is regulated, but the earth’s stock of whales is still being __7__depleted. In fact, some scientists worry that 100 years since now __8__ there may be no whales left. If this happens, mankind will be blame for removing from the earth forever a remarkable and __9__aweinspiring creature that always fed man’s imagination and __10__ made the world a more exciting place1. 將which改為that。先行詞由最高修飾時(shí)定語從句的關(guān)系代詞只能用that。2. 在thought 后面加of,或者將thought 改為regarded。“think of A as B”,指“把A看作B”,為固定搭配。3. 去掉he。這句話的主語是“to hunt a whale”,“to hunt a whale was high adventure”。中間的“when…”只是插入的狀語從句。4. 在referred后加to?!皉efer to A as B”只“把A稱作B”,這句話的意思是“古人把鯨稱作大魚”。5. 在felt 后加for。這句話實(shí)際的結(jié)構(gòu)是“feel a sense of wonder for whales”指“對(duì)鯨懷有驚奇的感覺”,for引出對(duì)象。6. 在exploit后加them。capture,slaughter,exploit都是及物動(dòng)詞,后面必須加賓語。7. 去掉but。前面已有“even though”,后面就不應(yīng)該再用but。8 .將since改為from。“100 years from now”指“從現(xiàn)在起100年后”since 只能用于完成時(shí)。9. 在blame前加to?!癰e to blame for sth ”指“對(duì)某事應(yīng)負(fù)責(zé)任”,為固定搭配。10. 在always前加has。這個(gè)定語從句強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)現(xiàn)在的影響,很明顯應(yīng)該用完成時(shí),不能用過去式。英語專業(yè)八級(jí)改錯(cuò)練習(xí)題及答案解析(六)We use language every day. We live in a world of words. Hardly anymoment passes with someone talking, writingorreading. Indeed, __1__languages is most essential to mankind. Our lives increasingly dependon fast and successful use of language. Strangely enough, we know __2__more about things around us than on ourselves. For example, language __3__is species specific, that is, it is language that differs human from __4__animals. However, we do not know yet how exactly we inquire language __5__and how it is possible for us to perceive through language。 nor we __6__understand precisely the binations between language and thought, __7__language and logic,orlanguage and culture。 still less, how and when language started. One reason for this inadequate knowledge of languageis that we, like language users, take too many things for granted. __8__Language es to every normal person so naturally that a few __9__of us stop to question what language is, much less do we feel the necessity to study it. Language is far more plex than most peoplehave probably imagined and the necessity to study it is far greater thansome people may have assured. Linguistic is a branch of science which __10__takes language as its object of investigation. 1. with 改為 without?!県ardy any moment passes without someone…” , 兩個(gè)否定: without 和hardly,意思是“每一時(shí)刻有人……”。2. fast 前面加the因?yàn)閒ast and successful use 這個(gè)詞組后邊有一個(gè)前置詞短語 of language 修飾use,所以被修飾的詞前面加定冠詞。3. than on ourselves 改為than things on ourselves。在這里比較的是兩件事:things around us and things on ourselves(我們周圍的事物和我們自身的東西)。第二個(gè)things不能省略,否則引起誤解。4. differs 改為distinguishes。語言區(qū)分人與動(dòng)物,differ是不及物動(dòng)詞,后面不能帶賓語,只能用介詞,如:Man differs from animals in that man possesses language。5. inquire改為acquire“習(xí)得語言”應(yīng)該是acquire language,名詞短語是language acquisition。 Inquire 是“詢問”的意思。6. we前面加上 do 副詞nor放在句首表示強(qiáng)調(diào),應(yīng)用倒裝句,一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)句是在主語前面加助動(dòng)詞 do。7. ,不是結(jié)合;語言和思維的關(guān)系是當(dāng)代語言學(xué)研究的重要領(lǐng)域。8. li
