一、題型特征

作為CET傳統(tǒng)題型之一,綜合改錯題仍然是與完型填空一起作為二選一出現(xiàn),文章長度大約在200-250詞之間,共包含10處錯誤。每行不超過一處錯誤,而且不包括標點符號錯誤和純粹的單詞拼寫錯誤。綜合改錯題難度較大,它主要測試考生的英語綜合理解與表達能力。它不但要求考生有扎實的語言基礎(chǔ)知識(如詞匯語法),而且要求考生有較強語篇理解能力與表達能力,以及利用上下文進行邏輯推理的能力。


二、考查方式

1.改正(correction) (/)2.刪除(delete) (/) 3.增添(add)(∧)


三、錯誤類型

邏輯表達錯誤、介詞使用錯誤、代詞使用錯誤、非謂語動詞使用錯誤、主謂語前后不一致錯誤、名詞的錯誤、代詞使用錯誤、冠詞的錯誤、句子結(jié)構(gòu)的錯誤、時態(tài)語態(tài)和語氣的使用錯誤及易混淆詞的使用錯誤。


四、解題步驟

1、一般來說,做題時千萬不要拿起來就改,先花1-2分鐘從頭到尾通讀全文,,對文章大致內(nèi)容有所了解,做到心中有數(shù)。

2、然后把重點放在有錯誤項的標有題號行,尋找較容易辨認的語法錯誤,如主謂不一致、時態(tài)、語態(tài)使用錯誤、非謂語動詞錯誤等。

3、如果錯行中不存在上述明顯錯誤,則應(yīng)查看是否有詞語搭配錯誤、易混詞錯誤、詞性錯誤等等細節(jié)錯誤。

4、如果錯行中急不存在語法錯誤,也不存在詞匯錯誤,則從整體上查看上下文意思是否連貫,連接詞是否使用正確,是否有邏輯混亂的現(xiàn)象,如否定句誤用成肯定句造成句意不通等。

5、找到錯誤項后,按要求形式進行改正、刪除或增添,并設(shè)法找到一個正確項使句子在語法語義邏輯上都成立。

第一期改錯練習題目:

The National Endowment for the Arts recently released the
the results of its “Reading at Risk” survey, which described
movement of the American public away from books and
literature and toward television and electronic media.
According to the survey. “reading is on the decline on every    62.__________
region, within every ethnic group, and at every educational level.”
The day the NEA report released, the U.S. House, in a tie       63.___________
vote, upheld the government’s right to obtain bookstore and
library records under a provision of the USA Patriot Act. The
House proposal would have barred the federal government
from demand library records, reading lists, book customer       64.___________
lists and other material in terrorism and intelligence investigations.
These two events are completely unrelated to, yet they        65.___________
echo each other in the message they send about the place of
books and reading in American culture. At the heart
of the NEA survey is the belief in our democratic          ?66.__________
system depends on leaders who can think critically, analyze
texts and writing clearly. All of these are skills promoted by    67.__________
reading and discussing books and literature. At the same time,
through a provision of the Patriot Act, the leaders of our
country are unconsciously sending the message that reading
may be connected to desirable activities that might         68._________
undermine our system of government rather than helping
democracy flourish.
Our culture’s decline in reading begin well before the        69._________
existence of the Patriot Act. During the 1980s’ culture wars,
school systems across the country pulled some books from
library shelves because its content was deemed by parents       70.__________
and teachers to be inappropriate. Now what started in schools
across the country is playing itself out on a nation stage and    71.________
is possibly having an impact on the reading habits of the
American public.

本期答案及解析:

-in。本行中 According to the survey在語義和結(jié)構(gòu)上都沒有錯;on the decline為固定搭配,意為“呈下降趨勢”,符合文意,也正確;故將錯誤鎖定為介詞on。on意為“在…之上”,而此處表示“在任何地區(qū)/區(qū)域”,故將on改為in(在;在…之內(nèi))。

∧released-∧was。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),the U.S.House(美國眾議院)為句子主句,upheld(支持,贊成)為謂語,The day the NEA report released是一個時間狀語從句,此處關(guān)系代詞when被省略;report應(yīng)該是被發(fā)表的,所以應(yīng)在report和released之間插入 was,released對此也有很好的提示作用。注意此處應(yīng)該使用系動詞的過去時態(tài)。in a tie vote為習慣用法,意為“以微弱優(yōu)勢勝出”。

-demanding。 “bar...from doing sth.”為固定用法,意為“阻止/禁止…做某事”。

65.刪除to。 “unrelated to”為固定搭配,意為“與…無關(guān)”,其后須接名詞;如果保留介詞to,根據(jù)語義此處需添加名詞性詞組each other,這與命題規(guī)律不符,故將to去掉。unrelated意為“無關(guān)的,不相關(guān)的”。

-that。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),本句為介詞短語提前引起的倒裝句,句子的謂語is被提到主語the belief之前。本句中同時出現(xiàn)兩個動詞,系動詞is在主句中作謂語,因此depends應(yīng)該是從句中的謂語。本句中,our democratic system depends on leaders...clearly是the belief的同位語從句;同位語從句中,先行詞為物時,一般由關(guān)系代詞that來引導,且that不能省略,故將in改為that。belief in為習慣用法,意為“相信…,對…有信心”,但介詞in不能引導從句。

g-wrtie。writing與think和analyze是由and連接的三個并列的動詞,且三個動詞都位于情態(tài)動詞can之后,應(yīng)使用動詞原形,故將writing改為write。

ble-undesirable。be connected to為固定用法,意為“與…有關(guān)”,其后一般接名詞。此處的定語從句that might undermine our system of government rather than helping democracy flourish修飾名詞activities,根據(jù)從句中的undermine(損壞,破壞)及rather than helping(而不是幫助)可知,這些活動(activities)應(yīng)該是消極的,desirable(可取的,有利的)與語義不符,故將 desirable改為undesirable。

-began。 “decline in”為習慣用法,意為“在某方面有所下降”;well可以表示程度,意為“相當?shù)?;充分的”,well before表示“早在…之前就已經(jīng)”。before表示動作已經(jīng)發(fā)生,因此本句中的動詞應(yīng)使用過去時態(tài),故將begin改為began。

-their。because在本句中引導原因狀語從句,從句中的主語content(內(nèi)容)為不可數(shù)名詞,且本句描述的是過去發(fā)生的事,故從句中的was為單復(fù)數(shù)形式和時態(tài)都正確。此處的its對應(yīng)的是主句中的some books,二者在語意上矛盾,故將its改為their 。

-national。本句的主語為由what引導的從句,故謂語為is,主謂一致正確。play out為固定搭配,意為“發(fā)出;展示”;此處表示“在全國范圍這個舞臺上展示”,nation意為“國家,民族”,強調(diào)國家主權(quán)和民族特征,常含政治意味;national意為“國家級的;全國范圍內(nèi)的”,表示一種更高級別或更大的范圍,故將nation改為national。
