2007年12月英語六級短文改錯(十一)

字號:

本期重點:詞性
    詞性重點考查的就是詞性的混淆,主要是名詞與動詞的誤用、名詞與形容詞的誤用以及形容詞與副詞的誤用。做這類改錯題,首先要判斷詞性及詞在句中的位置,然后根據(jù)它們在句中所處的位置來確定詞性是否正確。一般說來,形容詞修飾名詞,副詞修飾動詞,副詞修飾形容詞。例如說到某個問題的嚴重性,會用increasingly serious(越來越嚴重),用副詞修飾形容詞,不能說increasing serious。
    考點例析:
    例1:Most experts believe this can continue even if the population
    doubles by the mid-21st century,although feeding I0 billion people
    will not be easy for politics, economic and environmental reasons S6.___
    解析:reasons有三個修飾詞politics, economic, environmental , 后兩個是形容詞,第一個也應該是一致的,所以把politics改稱political。
    例2:Culture is essentially to our humanness. It provides a kind of S8.______
    map for relating to others.
    解析:做表語時,應該使用形容詞而不是副詞,故將essentially -> essential。
    例3:Their experiments have shown that reading disorders are most
    likely the result of what is, in effect, faulty wiring in the brain—
    not lazy, stupidity or a poor home environment S4._____
    解析:lazy, stupidity ,a poor home environment 是三個并列的詞,在詞性上應該保持一致,所以將lazy改成laziness。
