2007年12月英語六級考試短文改錯沖刺訓(xùn)練(13)

　　本期重點：時態(tài)、語態(tài)、虛擬語氣

　�、佟�時態(tài)錯誤

　　在一篇結(jié)構(gòu)完整、語義連續(xù)的短文中，時態(tài)的使用也應(yīng)該連貫一致，但是英語表示時間時，主句和從句時態(tài)可能不一致，卻仍表明完整正確的意思。這就要求考生對英語敏感，準(zhǔn)確判斷句中動作的時態(tài)。�お豹�

　�、凇≌Z態(tài)錯誤

　　在CET-6綜合改錯題中最常見的語態(tài)錯誤是被動語態(tài)被誤用為主動語態(tài)。因為漢語表達習(xí)慣上有時不加“被”字也能表示被動，因而考生對被動語態(tài)不敏感。另外，不及物動詞不能攜帶賓語，因而也就沒有被動語態(tài)。��

　�、郦碧摂M語氣錯誤

　　虛擬語氣的使用錯誤在綜合改錯題中主要表現(xiàn)為主句和從句的語氣不協(xié)調(diào)。��

　　考點例析：

　　例1：In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections and deaths started to

　　pick up again around theworld. Where tuberculosis vanished, it S8._______

　　came back

　　解析： 這句話的意思是：結(jié)核病在已經(jīng)絕跡的地方又卷土重來。從句謂語動詞發(fā)生在主 句 謂語動詞came之前，所以要用過去完成時，故在vanished前加had。

　　例2：In the ancient world and the Middle Ages philosophers discuss motion. ________

　　解析：此句的時間狀語是In the ancient world and the Middle Ages，所以謂語要用一般過去時，故將discuss改成discussed。

　　例3：She was very angry at not telling the truth when she listened to the account. _______

　　解析：句意：當(dāng)她聽這個敘述的時候，她很生氣沒有被告知真相。這里“她”是被告訴的對象，因而telling應(yīng)改為being told。��

　　例4：We strongly suggest that Henry is told about his physical ___________

　　condition as soon as possible.

　　解析：句中動詞suggest之后的從句應(yīng)用虛擬語氣，故“is”應(yīng)改為“be”或“should be”。類似的動詞還有demand,　insist,　order，等等。

　　鞏固與拓展

　　1. Do not send a photo unless specifically requested. If you have to

　　send on ,make sure it is one taking in a professional setting, rather ___________

　　than a holiday snap.

　　2. If the operation have not been planned in advance, a great deal of _________

　　time and miney would have been lost.

　　3. Not only they bring snaks and drinks, but also they __________

　　brought cards for entertainment.

　　4. Scientists have also discarded another old stereotype that almost

　　all dyslexics are boys. Studies indicate that many girls are affecting __________

　　as well and not getting help.

　　5. The Rule here is to keep it factual and Truthful--exaggerations

　　usually get find out. And remember to tailor your CV to each ________

　　different job.

　　參考答案及解析：

　　鞏固與拓展

　　1. taking -> taken。

　　take在此擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)氖嵌ㄕZ，修飾前面的one(photo)，根據(jù)判斷可知one與take之間應(yīng)該是被動關(guān)系。

　　2. have -> had

　　主句使用“would+現(xiàn)在完成時”，可見此處的虛擬語氣和過去的事實相反，因此條件句部分要用過去完成時。

　　3. they前加did

　　Not only位于句首句子部分到裝，由于but also的句子時態(tài)用了過去時，所以前面也要用過去時，故在they前加did。

　　4. affecting -> affected

　　5. Find -> found

　　綜合練習(xí)

　　1.for → /��

　　在句子中說明前后兩個相等成份的關(guān)系時用except，否則用except for。本句是說每位美國總統(tǒng)，除了喬治•華盛頓，都曾在白宮居住過“Every American president”與“George Washington”為對等成分，故應(yīng)去掉for。��

　　2.majority → major��

　　majority意為“大多數(shù)”、“半數(shù)以上”，一般后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞，而major則為“主要的”。本句意為“華盛頓在設(shè)計白宮中起了主要作用”，故應(yīng)用major。��

　　3.of → from��

　　要表示一個人的家鄉(xiāng)在哪里，介詞應(yīng)為from。

　　4.long → longer��

　　本句意思是說華盛頓把白宮設(shè)計得比原來更長，更寬了一些。與原來作比較，long當(dāng)然應(yīng)用比較級，而且and連接的兩個形容詞也應(yīng)為對等成分，既然wider是比較級，long也應(yīng)為比較級。��

　　5. was ∧ first → the��

　　the +序數(shù)詞具有名詞意味，在這里the first即表示the first president。

　　6. onto → into��

　　“搬進新居”應(yīng)為“move in”或“move into”,move on意為“繼續(xù)前進”，而“move onto”則是不存在的。

　　7.live → living��

　　live (a)意為“活著的”，而“l(fā)iving”則是“適于居住的”、“生活的”。the living area意為“適于居住的地區(qū)”。��

　　8. so → too��

　　原文說，戰(zhàn)火把樓房的內(nèi)部完全燒毀了，專家們說白宮太危險了，不能居住了，所以后來工人們才又重修白宮內(nèi)部�！疤�……太……”應(yīng)為“too…too…”。��

　　9. which ∧ underground → were 或which → them��

　　本句有兩種改法，若想使這部分成為非限制性定語從句，則which引導(dǎo)一個句子，后面應(yīng)加一個“were”;若想使這部分為獨立成分，則改which為them。��

　　10. appearing → appearance��

　　原句意思是說，重建白宮的工作并未改變它的外貌。appearing為appear(出現(xiàn))的v. + ing形式，appearance意為“外觀，外貌”。
