1、Error-correction In New CET4、6,2009.12,题型分析,改错题通常选用一篇200词左右的短文,其中有10个语法结构和用词方面的错误,分布在除首句外的10行中。这些错误可能是因为用错了一个词或词形变化造成的,也可能是因为多用一个词或少用一个词造成的。用错的词可能是意义或形式容易混淆的词,可能是意义相反的词,也可能是造成语法错误或搭配错误的词;词形变化错误可能是词性、时态、语态、性、数、格等语法方面的错误。有的错误在同一短语或句子中一眼就能辨别,有的错误则必须在充分理解上下文的基础上才能识别。,解题策略,一、词汇用法错误,1固定搭配错误:主要是一些常用介词短语、动词
2、短语、形容词短语的误用,另外,一些固定句型中词汇的搭配也容易出错。对付此类错误的方法是大量记忆,熟悉这些固定的搭配。,例1:about an American who had been invited to an Arab meal at one of the countries of the Middle East,答案: at应改为in,in the country为固定介词短语搭配。,例2:,but such reasons are totally dependent in the balance of risks and benefits for the patients,答案:in应
3、改为on,dependent on为固定的形容词短语搭配。,例3:However,a second person thought that this was more a question of civilized behavior as good manners,答案:as应改为than,morethan为固定句型搭配,表示“与其说不如说”,2单词的混用:这种错误是指误用了某个在形式或意义上与正确的单词相似的单词。,例1:Between sunrise and sunset,streets and highways are a constant source of voice from ca
4、rs,buses and trucks.,例2:Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked,to him,very much as a napkin,答案:此处as应改为like,as与like都可作介词用,表示“像一样”时,应用like,而as表示“作为”。,答案: 原文讲述噪音污染,所以,此处的voice应改为noise。,二、篇章理解错误,1语意的颠倒:这类错误多指在语意表达上用了相反的词,造成上下文逻辑推理上的自相矛盾。做题前应该先阅读全文,领会上下文承接关系与语意关系。,答案:将present改为
5、absent才合乎逻辑,例:If he was present because of sickness, there was often no job for him when he returned,2指代关系的错误:这类错误主要指由于人称代词、物主代词及指示代词的误用,导致指示不清、逻辑混乱,甚至前后矛盾。细心推敲和全局观念是破解此类错误的关键。,答案:从原文看,此处指妇女涨工资、被提升的速度会大大地减缓。所以,its应改为their(妇女的),例2:,he finds it pleasing he is influencing people:they are drawn to them,
6、例1:womens wages. A break in their employment, or a decision to work part time,will slow its raises and promotions,答案:them应改为him,指人们为他所吸引。,3连接词与关系词的错误:这类错误主要出现在定语从句与状语从句中,正确地分析句与句之间的逻辑关系,才能选择合适的连接词与关系词。,答案:原文讲述噪音污染,从上下文看,前后两句之间应为转折关系,而非条件关系,所以,连词if应改为but或though。,例2:Instead,this other person told us a
7、 story,it he said was quite well known,例1:It appears that we all find company in sound,if we all demand a little quiet from time to time,答案:后半句显然是一个非限制性定语从句修饰story,所以,应将it改为关系词which。,解题步骤,2)根据上述改错题中常见的出题点,按图索骥,对号入座。注意一时拿捏不准的题目可先跳过;,3)最后,再通读一遍全文,做好扫尾工作,解决难题,复查做好的题。,1)首先,通读全文,把握文章全貌,抓住文章主旨大意;,试题分析 Pas
