er就和上文的one构成固定搭配，表达在两个中“一个……；此外一个……”10.将harmful改为harmless，只有这样才可以表达上下文的对比关系。英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(四)Whatisablackhole?Well,itisdifficulttoanswerthequestion,asthetermswewouldnormallyusetodescribeascientificphenomenon__1__areadequatehere.Astronomersandscientiststhinkthatablackholeis__2__aregionofspacewhichmatterhasfallenandfromwhichnothingcan__3__escape—notevenlight.Butwecan’tseeablackhole.Ablackhole__4__exertsastronggravitationalpullandyetithasnomatter.Itisonlyspace—orthuswethink.Howcanthishappen?__5__Thetheoryisthatsomestarsexplodewhentheirdensityincreasestoaparticularpoint;they“collapse”andsometimesasupernovaoccurs.Thecollapseofastarmayproducea“WhiteDwarf”ofa“neutronstar”—astarwhichmatterissodensethatifcontinuallyshrinksbytheforceof__6___itsowngravity.Butifthestarisverylarge,thisprocessofshrinkingmaybesointensethatablackholeresultsin.Imaginetheearthreducedtothe__7__sizeofamarble,butstillhavingthesamemassesandastronger__8__gravitationalpull,andyouhavesomeideasoftheforceofablackhole.__9__Andnomatterneartheblackholeissuckedin.__10__参考答案及解析:supernova名词，[天]超新星1.将as改为since或者because。在表达因素的连接词中，只有as引导的因素状语从句不能位于主句之后，只能位于句首。2.将adequate改为inadequate，或者在are后加not。从逻辑上分析，由于我们拥有的科学术语“不充足”，所以才无法回答这个问题，所以用否认形式。3.在which前加into。这是一个定语从句，意思是“黑洞是太空中物质可以掉进去的地方”，所以定语从句应当为“intowhichmatterhasfallen”。4.将but改为so。上文已提到“连光都无法从黑洞中逃出”，所以我们主线无法看到黑洞。这里应当是因果关系，而不是转折关系。5.将thus改为so。这句话的意思是“那只是空间—或者我们认为它只是空间”。so做think的宾语，thus只能做连词，不能做宾语。6.将which改为whose。这个定语从句的意思是“它是一颗星，其密度非常大，由于自身的引力，它在不断地收缩”。matter属于star，所以关系代词应当用whose。7.去掉in。result为不及物动词，意为“形成了”，而“resultinsth。”意为“导致某结果”。8.将masses改为mass。mass可指“大量的物质”，而“themasses”特指“劳动群众”，用在此处不妥。9.将ideas改为idea。“idea”在表达“印象”时，为不可数名词，不可以用复数。10.将no改为any。分析便知，任何在黑洞附近的东西都会被吸进去。英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(五)Thegreatwhalesareamongthemostfascinatingcreatureswhich__1__haveeverlivedontheearth,andoneofthem,thebluewhale,isthelargest.Peopleinancienttimesthoughtwhalesasfearsome__2__monstersoftheoceandepths.Sotohuntawhale,whenoneoccasionallyswamtowardshore,hewashighadventure.People__3__foundtheadventurewasrewarding,too,fortheoilandmeatfromonewhalealonecouldheatandfeedavillageforawholewinter.Whalesresemblehugefish.Theywerereferredbytheancientsas__4__“greatfish,”andanywhalebeachingalongthecoastsofEnglandwasdesignated“theKing’sfish”becauseitautomaticallybelongedtotheCrown.Eversincethoseearlytimes,humanhavefeltwhalesasenseof__5__wondermixedwithanintensedesiretocapture,slaughter,andexploit.Nowtheslaughterhasreachedalarmingproportions.__6__EventhoughsomespeciesareprotectedbytheregulationsoftheInternationalWhalingCommissionandtheoreticallyallwhalehuntingisregulated,buttheearth’sstockofwhalesisstillbeing__7__depleted.Infact,somescientistsworrythat100yearssincenow__8__theremaybenowhalesleft.Ifthishappens,mankindwillbeblameforremovingfromtheearthforeveraremarkableand__9__awe-inspiringcreaturethatalwaysfedman’simaginationand__10__madetheworldamoreexcitingplace参考答案及解析:1.将which改为that。先行词由最高修饰时定语从句的关系代词只能用that。2.在thought后面加of，或者将thought改为regarded。“thinkofAasB”，指“把A看作B”，为固定搭配。3.去掉he。这句话的主语是“tohuntawhale”，“tohuntawhalewashighadventure”。中间的“when…”只是插入的状语从句。4.在referred后加to。“refertoAasB”只“把A称作B”，这句话的意思是“古人把鲸称作大鱼”。5.在felt后加for。这句话实际的结构是“feelasenseofwonderforwhales”指“对鲸怀有惊奇的感觉”，for引出对象。6.在exploit后加them。capture，slaughter，exploit都是及物动词，后面必须加宾语。7.去掉but。前面已有“eventhough”，后面就不应当再用but。8.将since改为from。“100yearsfromnow”指“从现在起12023后”since只能用于完毕时。9.在blame前加to。“betoblameforsth”指“对某事应负责任”，为固定搭配。10.在always前加has。这个定语从句强调对现在的影响，很明显应当用完毕时，不能用过去式。英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(六)Weuselanguageeveryday.Weliveinaworldofwords.Hardlyanymomentpasseswithsomeonetalking,writingorreading.Indeed,__1__languagesismostessentialtomankind.Ourlivesincreasinglydependonfastandsuccessfuluseoflanguage.Strangelyenough,weknow__2__moreaboutthingsaroundusthanonourselves.Forexample,language__3__isspeciesspecific,thatis,itislanguagethatdiffershumanfrom__4__animals.However,wedonotknowyethowexactlyweinquirelanguage__5__andhowitispossibleforustoperceivethroughlanguage;norwe__6__understandpreciselythecombinationsbetweenlanguageandthought,__7__languageandlogic,orlanguageandculture;stillless,howandwhenlanguagestarted.Onereasonforthisinadequateknowledgeoflanguageisthatwe,likelanguageusers,taketoomanythingsforgranted.__8__Languagecomestoeverynormalpersonsonaturallythatafew__9__ofusstoptoquestionwhatlanguageis,muchlessdowefeelthenecessitytostudyit.Languageisfarmorecomplexthanmostpeoplehaveprobablyimaginedandthenecessitytostudyitisfargreaterthansomepeoplemayhaveassured.Linguisticisabranchofsciencewhich__10__takeslanguageasitsobjectofinvestigation.参考答案及解析:1.with改为without。”hardyanymomentpasseswithoutsomeone…”,两个否认:without和hardly，意思是“每一时刻有人……”。2.fast前面加the由于fastandsuccessfuluse这个词组后边有一个前置词短语oflanguage修饰use，所以被修饰的词前面加定冠词。3.thanonourselves改为thanthingsonourselves。在这里比较的是两件事：thingsaroundusandthingsonourselves(我们周边的事物和我们自身的东西)。第二个things不能省略，否则引起误解。4.differs改为distinguishes。语言区分人与动物，differ是不及物动词，后面不能带宾语，只能用介词，如：Mandiffersfromanimalsinthatmanpossesseslanguage。5.inquire改为acquire“习得语言”应当是acquirelanguage，名词短语是languageacquisition。Inquire是“询问”的意思。6.we前面加上do副词nor放在句首表达强调，应用倒装句，一般现在时强调句是在主语前面加助动词bination改为relationships.语言和思维的关系，不是结合；语言和思维的关系是当代语言学研究的重要领域。8.like改为as。根据上下文，要表达的意思是“作为语言的使用者”，不是“像语言的使用者”。9.a去掉这里是否认的意思：“我们没有多少人……”而不是“我们一些人.….”。10.assured改为assumed.这句的后半部分意思是“研究语言的必要性比我们想象的要大得多”。Assure译为“保证”；assume译为“假设”或者“想象”的意思。英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(七)Wheneveryouseeanoldfilm,evenonemadeaslittleastenyearsbefore,youcan’thelpbeingstruckedbythe__1__appearanceofthewomentakingpart.Theirhairstylesandmake-uplookdate;theirskirtslookeithertoolongortoo__2__short;theirgeneralappearanceis,infact,slightlyludicrous.Thementakingpart,onotherhand,areclearlyrecognizable.__3__Thereisnothingabouttheirappearancetosuggestthattheybelongtoanentiredifferentage.Thisillusioniscreated__4__bychangingfashions.Overtheyears,thegreatminorityofmen__5__havesuccessfullyresistedallattemptstomakeitchangetheir__6__styleofdress.Thesamecannotbesaidforwomen.Eachyear,afewerso-calledtopdesignersinParisandLondonlaydown__7__onthelawandwomenaroundtheworldruntoobey.The__8__decreesofthedesignersareunpredictableanddictatorial.Sometimetheydecidearbitrarily,thatskirtswillbeshortand__9__waistswillbeheight;hipsareinandbuttonsareout.__10__参考答案及解析:1.strucked改为struck或者stricken;过去分词形式有误。strike的过去式是struck，过去分词为struck或者stricken。2.date改为dated或者outdated3.onotherhand改为ontheotherhand4.entire改为entirely;副词修饰形容词different，并与different一起修饰age。5.minority改为majority;从上下文以及常识判断，多半男性成功地抵制了改变他们服装款式的企图，即数年来，男性大服装款式跟女性服饰相比没有多大的变化。6.it改为them;them指代thegreatmajorityofmen。7.fewer改为few;此处没有比较的意味。8.去掉on;laydown为习语，表达“规定(规则，原则，法规等)”。9.sometime改为sometimes。10.height改为high;形容词作be的表语。英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(八)DemographicindicatorsshowthatAmericansinthepostwarperiodweremoreeagerthanevertoestablishingfamilies.Theyquickly__1__broughtdowntheageatmarriageforbothmenandwomenandbroughtthebirthratetoatwentiethcenturyheightaftermore___2___thanahundredyearsofasteadydecline,producingthe“baby__3__boom.”Theseyoungadultsestablishedatrendofearlymarriageandrelativelylargefamiliesthatwentformorethantwodecades___4___andcausedamajorbuttemporaryreversaloflong-termdemographicpatterns.Fromthe1940sthroughtheearly1960s,AmericansmarriedatahighrateandatayoungeragethantheirEuropeancounterparts.__5__Lessnotedbutequallymoresignificant,themenandwomenwhoformed__6__familiesbetween1940and1960neverthelessreducedthedivorcerateaftera__7__postwarpeak;theirmarriagesremainedintacttoagreaterextentthandidthatof__8__coupleswhomarriedinearlieraswellaslaterdecades.SincetheUnitedStates__9__maintaineditsdubiousdistinctionofhavingthehighestdivorcerateintheworld,thetemporarydeclineindivorcedidnotoccurinthesameextentinEurope.__10__Contrarytofearsoftheexperts,theroleofbreadwinnerandhomemakerwasnotabandoned.参考答案及解析:1.establishing改为establish,这里是不定式2.将height改为high/peak。整句话的大意为他们把男女的婚龄降了下来，使出生率达成了20世纪的高峰。high可以用作名词，意为“高峰”，“高水准”，“最高纪录”。height可以作“极点，顶点”解释。例如：Theheightofclevernessistoconcealone’scleverness。3.将第二个不定冠词a去掉。steadydecline意为连续的下降，前面不用加冠词。又如：yearsofhardwork。根据语感可以判断出来。4.在went后加on，或将went改为lasted。此处是“连续”的意思，所以可以用wenton或者last来表达。5.将high改为higher。此处意为美国人结婚率比以前提高了，有与战前相比的意思，因此应用比较级。6.删掉more。此处的大意为战后离婚率也下降了，这个现象不大有人注意，但同样也很重要。此外，more与equally相矛盾。7.将nevertheless改为also或者删掉nevertheless。此处上下文之间不是转折关系，而是递进关系。8.将that改为those。此处的代词应指marriages这个复数名词，因此应用those。此处考察代词与先行词一致的问题。9.将Since改为Although/Though/While。此处是转折关系，不是因果关系。10.将in改为to。短语totheextent是固定搭配。英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(九)Whenyoustarttalkingaboutgoodandbadmannersyouimmediatelystartmeetingdifficulties.Manypeoplejustcannotagreewhattheymean.Weaskedalady,whorepliedthatshethoughtyoucouldtellawell-manneredpersononthe__1__waytheyoccupiedthespacearoundthem—forexample,whensuchapersonwalksdownastreetheorsheisconstantlyunawareofothers.Suchpeoplenever__2__bumpintootherpeople.However,asecondpersonthoughtthatthiswasmoreaquestionofcivilizedbehaviorasgoodmanners.Instead,thisotherpersontoldusastory,__3__ithesaidwasquitewell-known,aboutanAmericanwhohadbeeninvited__4__toanArabmealatoneofthecountriesoftheMiddleEast.TheAmerican__5__hasn’tbeentoldverymuchaboutthekindoffoodhemightexpect.Ifhehad__6__knownaboutAmericanfood,hemighthavebehavedbetter.__7__Immediatelybeforehimwasaveryflatpieceofbreadthatlooked,tohim,verymuchasanapkin.Pickingitup,heputitintohiscollar,sothat__8__itfallsacrosshisshirt.HisArabhost,whohadbeenwatching,__9__saidofnothing,butimmediatelycopiedtheactionofhisguest.__10__Andthat,saidthissecondperson,wasafineexampleofgoodmanners.参考答案及解析:1.将on改为by。“bytheway”作“根据……方式”讲。2.将unaware改为aware;根据下文中的“Suchapersonneverbumpintootherpeople”判断，这种人不会“目中无人”。3.将as改为than;“more+adj/of+n+than”是固定搭配。4.将it改为which;which在此引导一个非限制性定语从句，which在从句中作主语，需要注意的是，在从句中hesaid是插入语。5.将at改为in;名词thecountry前要用介词in。6.将hasn’t改为hadn’t;根据上下文我们可以看出这里需要使用过去完毕时。7.将American改为Arab。根据上文，我们可以看出，这里讲述的是赴“阿拉伯”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事，而不是赴“美国”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事。8.将as改为like;介词as意思为“作为”，like意思为“像”。9.将falls改为fell;这里要使用一般过去时。10.将第一个of删掉。say作为及物动词，后面可直接跟名词作宾语。英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(十)Agreatmanycitiesareexperiencingdifficultieswhicharenothingnewinthehistoryofcities,exceptintheirscale.Somecitieshavelosttheiroriginalpurposeandhavenotfoundnewone.Andanylargeorrichc

答案：

1.redistributing改为redistribute。attemptto后面一般接动词原型，而不接动名词，由于这里的to是不定式符号，而不是介词，即attempttodosth.。

2.you改为others。此句是说，假如一部分相对比较穷，那么一部分人就会相对比较富。将人群分为两部分，此处就不能用you，others才可以表达人群的一部分。

3.在interests和than中间加上rather。此句不是表达比较（than），而是表达转折（公众政策反映他们的利益，而不是穷人的利益），所以应当用ratherthan（而不是）代替than。

4.doing改为done。此句是被动语态，表达“脏活被完毕”，get是系动词，所以应用do的过去分词形式done。

5.will改为would。此句使用了虚拟语气，表达对现在情况的假设，所以主句应用would。

6.cookers改为cooks。厨师是cook，而不cooker。cooker指炊具，与后面的“gardener（园丁）andotherworkers”不一致，所以应改为厨师（cook）。7.when改为while。此处不是表达时间上的同时性，而是表达两种情形的对比，“一些人在做……，而另一些人在做……”。表达对比的连词一般用while。

8.去掉more。inferior自身就表达“低档的”，已经构成了比较形式，所以前面一般不能再加more。

9.competent改为incompetent。此句讲的是穷人所能享受的服务，过期的面包、报废的汽车，尚有不合格的医生和律师所提供的建议。假如是competent，则成了合格的医生和律师所提供的建议，那么与整句意思不符。

10.去掉in。此句中的which引导非限定性定语从句，作influence和change的直接宾语，由于influence和change均为及物动词，所以不能加in。转贴于：TEM考试_考试大英语专业八级改错模拟题(2)Vitamins,likeminerals,arechemicals.Thereisabsolutelynotdifference(1)
