m.单句改错（io分）

31don'tknowhernewaddress,Ican,twritetoher.

解析：这是个表示因果关系的句子。由于汉语与英语存在差异：汉语是意合法，不太注

重形式，而英语是形合法，非常注重形式，因此，这个句子译为复合句，就要在原因状语前

加引导词because或as。

答案：前加Because或As

32Manyforeignersfeel(find)difficulttolearnChinese.

解析：tolearnChinese应是feel(find)的宾语，英语中习惯用形式宾语it代替，

放在宾语补足语(•般用形容词)的前面，而将真正的宾语放在句尾。

答案：Difficult前加it

33Whenwillthesportsmeethold?

解析：hold作“举行”讲时是及物动词，因此应该用被动语态表示“运动会被举行”。

答案：hold—beheld

34Itkeptrainfortwodayslastweek.

解析：keep后跟名词才能表示“连续、反复、不断……”的意思。

答案：rain-braining

35LiMingtakesinterestinginEnglishverymuch.

解析：由“动词+名词+介词”构成的短语，动词后若加修饰语要放在名词前面，因为

该名词是表示该短语动词意思的中心词，其基本意思是由该名词表示的。类似用法的常用短

语动词还有showconcernfor(关心)，payattentionto(注意)等。

答案：interesting->interest

36TheyareexamininginEnglish.

解析：“examine”用主动形式的意思是指"考别人”，而此句含有“他们正在被考"的

意思，因此应该用现在进行时的被动形式。

答案：examingfbeingexamined

37Ilookedformykeyeverywhere,butIdidn，tfind.

解析：在汉语中，在前面一句或同一句中前面已出现过的名词，在后面的句子中通常省

略，而在英语中不能省略，要用代词表示出来。

答案：find后加it

38Itistime(that)Wegotobed.

解析：在(that)…”句型中要用虚拟语气，从句中的谓语用过去式或should

+动词原形表示。

答案：gofwent

39Thesawsareusefultools.

解析：表示某一类人，某一类动物或某一类事物有三种表示法：（1）名词用复数；（2）

不定冠词+单数名词；（3）定冠词+单数名词。

答案:Sawsareusefultools.

Asawisausefultool.

Thesawisausefultool.

40SingingEnglishsongsareveryinteresting.

解析：动名词（包括其短语）和动词不定式（包括其复合结构）作句子的主语时，句中

谓语要用单数。此外，主语从句作主语时，句中谓语也要用单数。

答案：SingingEnglishsongsisveryinteresting.

TosingEnglishsongsisveryinteresting.

解析：本文主要通过阐述玩具的历史说明这样一种观点：玩具反映人们的艺术观，几十

年来玩具的变化不大。男孩子玩的玩具与女孩子玩的玩具不同，其原因正如第2段第2、3

句所说的：在社会角色严格确定的社会中，男孩玩的模式是按照他们父亲所从事的活动，而

女孩子则模仿她们母亲的工作，其原因是他们正准备步入成人世界去扮演他们的角色和承担

他们的责任。综上所述，正确选项应为B（他们的社会角色是严格决定了的）。选项A文中

尚未提及。选项C没有说到根本的内容，即步入成人世界去扮演他们的角色和承担他们的责

任，而不仅仅是“子承父业”。选项D文中也未提及。

答案：B

76Whichofthefollowingistheauthor,sviewonthehistoricaldevelopment

oftoys?

A.Toysareplayinganincreasinglyimportantroleinshapingachild's

character.

B.Thetoyindustryhaswitnessedgreatleapsintechnologyinrecentyears.

C.Thecraftsmanshipintoymakinghasremainedessentiallyunchanged.

D.Toyshaveremainedbasicallythesameallthroughthecenturies.

解析:有关作者对玩具历史发展的观点可从文章的第3段获得，在和第1句中作者说“有

关玩具的历史引人注意的不是多少世纪以来玩具有了多大变化，而是它们竟然一成不变”。

接着，作者又谈到：“令人感到惊讶的正是世界各地玩具发展的普遍性和直到现在玩具的持

久不变性。”而选项A的内容文章并未提及。选项B的内容也与玩具的历史发展无关•选项

C所提的制造玩具的工艺不是没变，而是有了很大变化。故D为正确选项。

答案：D

77Regardedasakindofartform,toys.

A.reflectthepaceofsocialprogress

B.arenotcharacterizedbytechnologicalprogress

C.followadirectlineofascent

D.alsoappealgreatlytoadults

解析：从第4段第1句话可知：玩具作为一种艺术形式，并不受技术飞跃的支配。这正

与选项B内容相符，A、C、D选项显然与文章内容不符。

答案：B

78Theauthorusestheexampleofarattletoshowthat.

A.itoftentakesalongtimetointroducenewtechnologyintotoy-making

B.eventhesimplesttoyscanreflecttheprogressoftechnology

C.evenasimpletoycanmirrortheartistictastesofthetime

D.intoy-makingthereisacontinuityintheuseofmaterials

解析：最后一段中作者以拨浪鼓为例说明即使是简单的玩具也可反映出时代的艺术特

色。因为第3句说得很明白，公元前3000年孩子玩的拨浪鼓到今天孩子玩的拨浪鼓并不是

以某种发明为特征的。最后一句话说得很清楚“每只拨浪鼓只是每个时代艺术晶位的反映并

受到了可选材料的限制”。作者强调的是玩具的艺术特性，选项A、B都与原文内容矛盾。选

项D在文章中没有提及。

答案：C
