1、专八改错题常见错误 39、冠词错误。定冠词 the 的多余或缺失，如季节，月份，星期，球类及三餐活动，称呼头衔前等不能加 the 的地方加了 the，或是 same 等常和 the 一起使用的词却漏税掉了 the。a, an 的混用：判断一个词的前面加 a 还是 an 不是看其首字母是不是元音字母，而是看首字母的发音是不是元音，如 an hour, an honest boy ,其首字母不是元音字母，但其发音却是以元音素开始，故用 an。而 a useful book, a university, a European, a one-hour trip，虽然以元音字母开始，但却读作辅音音素的音
2、，故用 a。例如：He often plays the football.plays football 是固定搭配，应将其改为 palys football。 but most researchers see their success to date as reason for hope.Reason 前加 the。Reason 一词有 “for hope“修饰，是特指，应该用定冠词“the“来修饰。另外，要牢记可数名词单数形式前要加定冠同或不定冠词；以及些不能省略冠词的固定搭配，如：tell truth-tell the truth，all of sudden-all of a sudde
3、n.10、数词错误。主要是序数词与基数词的混用和错用，如分数的分子大于“1”时分母没有用复数等，基数基数词的复数形式如 hundreds of(几百)， thousands of(几千 )。漏掉了 s，或是当其前有具体数字或 several 时加了复数，如 seven hundred 写作 seven hundreds。11、连接词、并列句、从属句混用。这类错误常常不易被发现，因为它不属于句子内部的语言知识，而是句子与句子之间的串联的关系。要想把这类错误纠正出来，需要考生对文章有总体的理解，头脑中有个大的框架。一般改错中的连接词错误都会使句子的逻辑关系发生改变，或造成句子的语义逻辑混乱。例如：
4、Instead，this other person told us a story，it he said was quite well known,.Itwhich。从句子的结构上来分析，it he said was是定语从句，修饰前面的内容，就应该用 which 来引导非限制性定语从句。it 在此没有任何语法功能，不能连接两个分句。专八改错题常见错误 25、非谓语动词的错用。例如：Play football not only makes me grow up?Play football 是动词，不能做主语，应将其改为 Playing football。I want to thank you
5、again for have me in your home for the summer holidays.?介词后面应跟名词，所以 for have 应改为 for having。Id like to your pen friend, and get to know more about your country.?would like to 后面应加 to do，your pen friend 是名词短语，不能直接放在 would like to 后面，所以应改为 to be your pen friend。6、形容词副词混用。常出现需形容词的地方用了副词或需要用副词的地方用了形容词。这
6、类错误主要考较不常见的形容词、副词的比较级形式。一般来讲，考生不难掌握。例如：Its terrible hot here.Terrible 是形容词，不能修饰形容词，应将其改为 terribly。Culture is essentially to our humannessEssentiallyessential。Culture is 后面应该有一个表语，但是 essentially 是副词不能做表语，因此改成 essential。7、介词错误。主要是介词的多余或缺失、错用。这一部分需要平时多多积累来弄清常用介词的搭配。例如：In an addition, he still went to s
7、ee a movie.In addition 是固定搭配，所以应将 In an addition 改为 In addition。This has probably been the case in quite a while.Infor。Has been 是现在完成时的表达方式。因此与之相对应的时间状语就应该是 for a quite a while，for 表示持续的段时间。8、主谓一致性错误。如第三人称单数漏掉 s，或主语为复数，谓语动词却用了单数；以及就近原则对主语的影响等等。例如：The president of the company, together with the worke
8、rs, are planning to solve these problems.?句中主语的主词为单数名词“president” ，介词短语“together with the workers”与主语无关，是插入成分，故谓语动词应用单数 is。专八改错题常见错误 11、名词错误。名词单、复数用错，可数与不可数名词的混用。例如：We study quite a few subject, such as maths, Chinese, English and physics.?A few 后面应该用复数，所以 subject 改为 subjects。They were eager to know
9、 everything about China and asked me lots of question.Question 为可数名词，lots of 后面是复数形式，所以 question 改为 questionsI hope that you two could come and visit us some times soon.“Times”表示次数时是可数名词，表示时间概念时是不可数名词，根据句意 times 应改 为 time。2、时态错误：在一篇结构完整、语义连续的短文中，时态的使用也应该连贯一致，但是英语表示时间时，主句和从句时态可能不一致，却仍表明完整正确的意思。这就要求考生
10、准确判断句中动作的时态，培养对英语时态的敏感度。?例如：He cant remember what he once knows.主句用的是一般现在时，宾语从句中有 once(从前)作为明显的时间状语，因而从句中动词应用过去时knew。It was kind of them to meet me at the railway station and drove me to their home.“and”两边应该是平行的， “and”前面是动词原形 meet， “and”后面应该也用动词原形，所以将drove 改为 drive。3、语态错误在短文改错题中最常见的语态错误是被动语态被误用为主动语态
11、。因为汉语表达习惯上有时不加“被”字也能表示被动，因而造成考生对被动语态不敏感。另外，不及物动词不能携带宾语，因而也就没有被动语态。例如：She was very angry at not telling the truth when she listened to the account.意思是：当她听这个叙述的时候，她很生气没有被告知真相。这里“她”是被告诉的对象，因而 telling应改为 being told。4、虚拟语气错误虚拟语气的使用错误在综合改错题中主要表现为主句和从句的语气不协调。例如：We suggest that Henry is told about his condi
12、tion as soon as possible.句中动词 suggest 之后的从句应用虚拟语气，故“is”应改为“be”或“should be”。类似的动词还有propose/ insist/order 等等。2011专八改错训练及详解（12）2011-04-28 来源:网络 【大中小】 点击: 1326 评论： 1 条【秘诀】学英语10年,悟出9个秘密抓住5个时间点，单词忘不了专四/专八/英研一起过Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.

If, therefore, _9_he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself making _10_steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society. 答案及解析:1.what 改为 whatever。whatever 引导让步状语从句，相当于 no matter what，意思是
18、“无论什么” ， “不管什么” ，whatever 在从句中作宾语。2.turn 改为 return。短语 in turn 表示“轮流地; 挨个, 依次; 反过来” ，而在这里是指孩子对父母的回报。3.interesting 改为 interest。在形容词性物主代词 their 的后面应跟名词性成分。4.第一个 do 改为 are。与前面的 is 相对应。5.that 改为 what。that 引导的是定语从句，在本句中应该使用关系代词 what，相当于 the thing/ things that。6.not 改为 no。固定搭配的副词短语“no longer”fortable 改为 co

37、onomy-economicseconomy 表示一个国家的“经济” ，而 economics 才表示“经济学” ，因此这里应使用 economics。6.and-while/butand 表示顺接，而这里缺少的是一个表示对比的连词，因为历史系学生和经济系学生在人数上形成很大对比，所以应改 and 为 while 或者 but。7.consisting-comprising/constituting 或者 consisting-ofconsist 的意思是“包括，由组成” ，一般要与介词 of 连用，而 comprise 或者 constitute 则表示“组成” ，而且不需要与 of 连用。
38、8.declared-declaring“almost 12 percent of undergraduates declared themselves history majors”和“economic and business administration majors together consisting 8.7 percent of undergraduates“应是并列结构跟随介词 with，所以这里应将 declared 变为 declaring，与前面的分句保持形式上的一致。9.marketed-marketable原句的意思是“经济学的文凭是有市场的，有销路的” ，所以应该是
