2007年12月英語六級(jí)短文改錯(cuò)(十三)

字號(hào):

本期重點(diǎn):時(shí)態(tài)、語態(tài)、虛擬語氣
    ① 時(shí)態(tài)錯(cuò)誤
    在一篇結(jié)構(gòu)完整、語義連續(xù)的短文中,時(shí)態(tài)的使用也應(yīng)該連貫一致,但是英語表示時(shí)間時(shí),主句和從句時(shí)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(duì)英語敏感,準(zhǔn)確判斷句中動(dòng)作的時(shí)態(tài)。
    ② 語態(tài)錯(cuò)誤
    在CET-6綜合改錯(cuò)題中最常見的語態(tài)錯(cuò)誤是被動(dòng)語態(tài)被誤用為主動(dòng)語態(tài)。因?yàn)闈h語表達(dá)習(xí)慣上有時(shí)不加“被”字也能表示被動(dòng),因而考生對(duì)被動(dòng)語態(tài)不敏感。另外,不及物動(dòng)詞不能攜帶賓語,因而也就沒有被動(dòng)語態(tài)。
    ③虛擬語氣錯(cuò)誤
    虛擬語氣的使用錯(cuò)誤在綜合改錯(cuò)題中主要表現(xiàn)為主句和從句的語氣不協(xié)調(diào)。
    考點(diǎn)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(dòng)詞發(fā)生在主 句 謂語動(dòng)詞came之前,所以要用過去完成時(shí),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(shí)間狀語是In the ancient world and the Middle Ages,所以謂語要用一般過去時(shí),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(gè)敘述的時(shí)候,她很生氣沒有被告知真相。這里“她”是被告訴的對(duì)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(dòng)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(dòng)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.
