此類題一般是動詞后面少了ing或ed,這種題經(jīng)常出現(xiàn),值得注意。
ing型改錯題分兩種情況:(1)介詞后面或某些動詞后面跟著的動詞需要使用該動詞的-ing形式(2)用一個逗號將一個動詞與其邏輯主語分開,該動詞需要用-ing分詞形式,舉例如下:
(1)The House proposal would have barred the federal government from demand library records….(07年1月新六級改錯第三題)這里的demand應該改成demanding, bar/stop/prevent sth from doing為固定搭配,介詞from后面的動詞必須使用其-ing形式。
(2)As a result, too many kids passed through school without mastering the printed page.(06年6月六級改錯第1題)介詞后面跟的動詞通常都要加-ing形式,所以這里的master應該改成mastering.
(3)Here are a few ways to avoid end up on the reject pile.(06年1月六級改錯第4題)avoid后面跟動詞要加-ing, 所以end改成ending.
(4)This modern treatment will cure leprosy in 6 to 12 months, depend on the form of the disease.(05年1月六級改錯第8題)一個逗號將depend on和其邏輯主語this modern treatment分開,因此depend要用其現(xiàn)在分詞形式depending.
(5)Culture refers to the social heritage of a people the learned patterns for thinking, feeling and acting that characterize a population or society, include the expression of these patterns in material things.(04年6月六級改錯第一題)和上一題一樣,這里的include同樣得用分詞形式including.
-ed型改錯:
(1)If you have to send one, make sure it is one taking in a professional setting…(06年1月六級改錯第九題)這里的one指代前文的photo,我們都知道照相用take a photo,
所以這里的one和take應該表示被動關系,所以應該用take的過去分詞taken做后置定語。
(2)The rule here is to keep it factual and truthful exaggerations usually get find out.(06年1月六級改錯第10題)表示“被發(fā)現(xiàn)”顯然要用過去分詞found out.
注意:-ed型改錯從本質上說就是要能發(fā)現(xiàn)動詞與其邏輯主語的關系,動詞是施動者,而其邏輯主語接收動詞發(fā)出的動作.這和被動語態(tài)實際上是一個道理,下面舉幾個被動語態(tài)的題:
(1) The day the NEA report released….(07年1月新六級改錯第2題)這個報告被發(fā)表,所以在report和released之間要加上was.
(2) Studies indicate that many girls are affecting as well-----and not getting help.(06年6月六級改錯第6題)
受到影響顯然要用被動語態(tài),所以affecting要改成過去式affected.值得注意的是,affect是改錯命題專家比較偏愛的一個詞,在05年1月的改錯中考查了effect與affect的區(qū)別,大家對這個詞要好好掌握。
(3)The members of the alliance against leprosy plan to target the countries which still threatened by leprosy.(05年1月六級第10題)這里的the countries作為邏輯主語,與后面的動詞threaten成被動關系,而且后面句子的形式threatened by leprosy也提示我們這里應該在threatened的前面加上系動詞are.
5.單復數(shù)錯誤與主謂不一致錯誤。
這個考點在六級改錯中出現(xiàn)的也很頻繁,同學們對這種錯誤也比較熟悉,做題時一定得仔細觀察句子的主語:
(1)Most education system neglect exploration, understanding and reflection.(07年1月老六級第五題)句子的主語是education system,而前面的most和后面的neglect都提示我們這里主語應該是個復數(shù),所以將system改成systems.
(2)There is therefore a need for resources and methods of teaching that facilitates a deep under-
standing of science in an enjoyable way.(07年1月老六級第九題)這里facilitates前面跟的主語是resources and methods of teaching,主語是復數(shù),所以根據(jù)主謂一致原則,要把facilitates改成facilitate。
(3)New screening tests are identifying children at risk before they get discouraged by year of frustration and failure.(06年6月六級改錯第8題)表示“多年的沮喪與失敗”是一個復數(shù)的概念,因此要把year改成years.
(4)physical object like cooking pots, computers and bathtubs.(04年6月六級改錯第三題)這里的主語是physical object,也就是后面的那么些東西,因為不止一樣東西,所以object得用復數(shù)形式objects.
(5)There is no guarantee that plant breeders can continue to develop new, higher-yielding crop…(04年1月六級改錯第10題)在形容詞前沒有不定冠詞,所以可以認為這里的crop表示一個復數(shù)概念,因此用crops.
6.指代錯誤與冠詞錯誤。
同單復數(shù)一樣,解指代錯誤題也要關注指代的對象到底是單數(shù)還是復數(shù):
(1)During the 1980s’ culture wars, school systems across the country pulled some books from library shelves because its content was deemed by parents and teachers to be inappropriate.(07年1月新六級改錯第9題)這里its指代前面的some books,所以物主代詞應該是 their而不是its.
(2)As a result, children memorize processes such as mathematical formulas or the periodic table, only to forget it shortly afterwards.(07年1月六級改錯第7題) 容易發(fā)現(xiàn)it指代前面的processes,因為是復數(shù),所以該用復數(shù)的賓格them.
(3) At same time(06年6月六級改錯第七題)地球人都知道的at the same time是固定短語。
(4) in first paragraph(06年1月六級改錯第一題)序數(shù)詞前面要加the,這是初中的知識。
(5) a number of leprosy cases around the world has been cut by ninety percent during the past ten years.
(05年1月六級改錯第一題)表示數(shù)量多少應該用the number of
(6)The fast-growing population’s demand for food, they warned, would soon exceed their supply…(04年1月六級改錯第二題)這里的their指代population,而人口是一個單數(shù)的概念,所以物主代詞要用its.
