2003改错

Demographic indicators show that Americans in the postwar

period were more eager than ever to establish families. They quickly brought down the age at marriage for both men and women and brought

the birth rate to a twentieth century height after more than a hundred (1)__ years of a steady decline, producing the “baby boom.” These young (2)__ adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large

families that went for more than two decades and caused a major (3)__ but temporary reversal of long-term demographic patterns. From

the 1940s through the early 1960s, Americans married at a high rate (4)__ and at a younger age than their Europe counterparts. (5)__

Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women who (6)__ formed families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the (7)__ divorce rate after a postwar peak; their marriages remained intact to

a greater extent than did that of couples who married in earlier as well (8)__ as later decades. Since the United States maintained its dubious (9)__ distinction of having the highest divorce rate in the world, the

temporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same extent in (10)__ Europe. Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner and homemaker was not abandoned 1. 答案： height→high， high 作为名词翻译为“最高水平”，又如reach an all-time high 2． 答案：删除a

【详细解答】 此处steady decline指稳定下降的行为、过程而不是其结果，为不可数名词，故应去掉定冠词a。

3． 答案：went后加on

【详细解答】 go on为固定搭配，意为“持续”。 4． 答案：high→higher

【详细解答】 后面有than，此处应为比较级。 5． 答案：Europe→European

【详细解答】 根据上下文，此处应用形容词作定语修饰名词counterparts。 6． 答案： more

【详细解答】 由上下文可知，more与equally矛盾，故应去掉。 7． 答案：nevertheless→also 【详细解答】 由上下文可知，此处讲的内容与前部分内容之间为递进关系，而非转折关系。 8． 答案： that→those

【详细解答】 由上下文可知，此处所指代的应为前面复数形式的marriages，故指示代词也应该用复数形式。

9． 答案： Since→Although（或While）

【详细解答】 从逻辑上讲，此处应表达让步关系，而非因果关系。 10． 答案：in→to 【详细解答】 to．．．extent为固定搭配，意为“到??程度”

2002改错

There are great impediments to the general use of a standard in pronunciation comparable to that existing in spelling (orthography). One is the fact that

pronunciation is learnt?naturally? and unconsciously, and orthography is learnt 1._____ deliberately and consciously. Large numbers of us, in fact, remain

throughout our lives quite unconscious with what our speech sounds 2______ like when we speak out, and it often comes as a shock when 3______

we firstly hear a recording of ourselves. It is not a voice we recognize at once, 4_______ whereas our own handwriting is something which we almost always know. 5_____ We begin the ?natural? learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to read or write, and in our early years we went on unconsciously 6.___ imitating and practicing the pronunciation of those around us

for many more hours per every day than we ever have to spend 7.___ learning even our difficult English spelling. This is ?natural?, 8.___ therefore, that our speech-sounds should be those of our immediate circle;

after all, as we have seen, speech operates as a means of holding a community 9.___

and giving a sense of'belonging'. We learn quite early to recognize a ?stranger?,someone who speaks with an accent of a different community-perhaps only a few miles far. 10

2001

1.

答案： as→so

此处不是比较，so 翻译为“如此” 2.答案：increasing→increasingly

【详细解答】 increasing可用来修饰名词，表示“正在增加”，修饰名词topic不合题意。本 句中应该用副词作状语修饰形容词favorite，所以应该改用副词increasingly。 3.答案：so→but

【详细解答】根据上下文判断，小麦价格在秋天不断下降，但是农民不能等着市场提升价格。 这里应该是转折关系，而不是因果关系。 4.答案：soon或shortly

【详细解答】要表达“不久以后”，要么用soon after，要么用shortly after，就是没有soo n shortly after这种搭配。 5.答案：rich→richer

【详细解答】根据上下文，这里是说由于价格上涨，投机商们变得更加富有，故应该改用形容 词的比较级形式。 6.答案：asked后加for

【详细解答】ask for为固定搭配，意为“要求，请求”。 7.答案：involving→involved

【详细解答】be involved in为一固定搭配，意为“被卷入?”，这里的be为连系动词，可用 become替换。 8.答案：1ife→living

【详细解答】根据上下文，这里要表达的意思是“生活费用”，应为living costs。life则意 为“生命”，不能修饰costs 9.答案：删除with

【详细解答】handle为及物动词，应直接带宾语。 10.答案：total→full

【详细解答】total意为“总体的，全体的”，指一种整体的概念。而这里要表达的是“全部 的权威”，英语中常用full authority。
