2007年12月英語六級短文改錯沖刺訓(xùn)練

字號:

本期重點: 平行結(jié)構(gòu)
    平行結(jié)構(gòu)錯誤主要指在并列連接詞and前后語法結(jié)構(gòu)不對等、不平行。其它并列連詞還有but, as well as, or, or else, both … and, neither … nor, either … or, not only … but (also)等可連接兩個對等的詞和對等的結(jié)構(gòu)。
    考點例析
    1:Computeranalyzed marketing reports can help deciding
    which products to emphasize now,which to develop for
    the future, and which to be dropped. ____________
    解析:本句中三個平行成份which products to emphasize now, which to develop和which to be dropped結(jié)構(gòu)模式應(yīng)該一致,均采用不定式主動語態(tài),因而to be dropped應(yīng)改為to drop。(注:在四六級考試中,短文改錯只能修改、刪除或添加一個單詞,不能同時改動兩個。本例題旨在反映平行結(jié)構(gòu)的語法性質(zhì)。)
    例2:At the heart of the NEA survey is the belief that our
    democratic System depends on leaders who can think
    critically, analyze texts and writing clearly. ___________
    解析:can后面有三個并列的謂語動詞,因此writing應(yīng)改成與think, analyze并列的動詞原形write。
    例3:Atrophy is a decrease in size of a cell, organ, tissues, or other part of the body. _______
    解析;:并列連詞or連接四項名詞結(jié)構(gòu),其中cell 和organ皆為單數(shù)形式,故tissues應(yīng)改為單數(shù)tissue。

    參考答案及解析
    鞏固與拓展
    1. tricked -> tricks
    并列連詞or連接三項成分。前兩項均為名詞,故tricked應(yīng)改為名詞tricks與前面的mistakes和misconceptions平行。
    2. how前加on
    3. originating -> originated
    And后面的thus說明并列句的第二部分是和前面的began對應(yīng),而非與trying對應(yīng)。
    4. listing -> list
    這句是祈使句,list與前面的restrict并列。
    5. read -> reading
    [決戰(zhàn)六級 短文改錯] [第廿期] [平行結(jié)構(gòu)] [已獎勵]
    綜合練習(xí)
    1. than -> but
    此處為固定句式not…but…,此句大意為“的飛行隱患不是持槍的恐怖分子,而是商務(wù)艙中攜帶手提電腦的人?!?BR>    2. report-> reported
    該句子的時間狀語是In the last 15 years表明其基本時態(tài)是一般過去時。
    3. confirmed -> unconfirmed
    根據(jù)上下文,電腦對飛機(jī)影響的原因還不大清楚,故使用unconfirmed。
    4. radio -> radios
    5. organization后加which
    本句主語是RTCA,謂語是has recommended,中間的an organization advertises the aviation industry是RTCA的同位語,所以advertises the aviation industry應(yīng)該是做定語修飾organization。故在organization后加which。
    6. bans -> ban
    recommend后面的賓語從句要使用虛擬語氣,形式為(should) + v,should可省略。
    7. used前加being
    From是介詞,后面不能直接使用過去分詞used,如果要表示相同的意思,要是用動名詞形式才行。又因為devices與use之間是被動關(guān)系,所以應(yīng)該加上being。
    8. willing -> unwilling / reluctant或在willing前加not
    此句的正確意思是:盡管一些航空公司禁止乘客在飛機(jī)起飛和著陸時使用那些電子產(chǎn)品,但由于許多乘客很想在飛行時繼續(xù)辦公,所以很多航空公司也不愿意徹底實施禁令。
    9.affect -> affects
    定語從句先行詞radiation是單數(shù),從句的謂語動詞也要用單數(shù)。
    10. danger -> dangerous
