12、20 levels for government assistance; and to automatically provide cost-of-living wage adjustments to millions of American workers.(分数:25.00)解析:goodgoods解析 这里应该是“产品和服务”,表示“产品”时,名词 goods只能用复数形式。解析:whichin 或 which/解析 当关系分句的先行词是 the way(s),表示“方式”时,关系代词应该是 in which或者 in which省略。解析:measurementmeasure解析 me
13、asurement 是“(量得的)尺寸”,如:The tailor took down the measurements of the lady on a piece of paper. 这与上下文的意思不符,应该用 measure,表示“衡量标准”。解析:informationsinformation解析 information 是不可数名词,不可以说 an information,也不可以说 informations,如果要表示数量,可以说 a piece of information,a large quantity of information。解析:makemaking解析 应该说
14、guide to something,这个词组中 to是介词,例如:The book is a good guide to English literature.解析:adjustingadjust解析 句中 be used to的意思是“被用来”,所以这时候 to是不定式符号。如果 be used to解释为“习惯于”时,to 就是介词了。解析:thesethis解析 原句中的代词 these的先行词是 the use,是单数,所以应该用 this。解析:ByIn解析 “换句话说”应该是 in other words。解析:ThirdThirdly解析 表示序列时,所用的序数词应当保持前后一
15、致。如果一开始用 first,后面依次用 second,third 等;如果一开始用 firstly,后面依次用 secondly, thirdly等。前文中“第一”、“第二”用的都是副词 firstly,secondly。所以,这里应该用 thirdly。解析:consumer“sconsumers“或consumer“sthe解析 注意属格的用法。如果是名词复数,那么“”符号应该点在名词复数标记之后,否则名词应该用单数形式,但是这时要注意单数名词前冠词的使用。Globalization is the present worldwide driving toward 21 a globali

20、 of people will be in middle. 30 They will see globalization not as something to worship or demonize. Instead, they wilt see it as something to mold, shape and manage for the betterment of everyone.(分数:25.00)解析:drivingdrive解析 要区分 driving和 drive,driving 是动词“驾驶”的名词,这和句子的意思不符;drive 作为名词的意思是“运动、动力”,符合句子
21、的意思。解析:forto解析 这里是介词搭配的错误。介词与形容词、动词、名词的搭配是英语学习也是各种英语考试的重点和难点,平时要多积累。accountable 和介词 to搭配,意思是“对负责,对有义务”,例如:The super-markets should be accountable to their customers. 超市要对它的顾客负责。解析:trendstrend解析 原句的意思是“全球化不仅仅是某种短暂的潮流”,some 在这里并不是“一些”,而是“某一种”,而且 trend实际上指的是主语 it,所以 trend应该用单数形式,而且也与主语 it相对应。解析:likeas解
22、析 没有 like such这样的搭配,尽管从中文的字面意思上是说得通的。符合英文表达习惯的说法是“as such”,意思是“in the true meaning of the word”,如:There should be a law ensuring products tested on animals have to be labeled as such.解析:more/或 moremuch解析 使用比较级需要上下文或语境中有比较的对象。所以在这里用 more like是不合适的,应该改成原级。这一点和中文表达习惯不太一样。解析:takebring解析 “带来机会”应该表达为 brin
23、g opportunities。解析:networka解析 network 是可数名词,a network of 的意思是“一套(规则、制度等)”。解析:themit解析 代词的先行词是 capitalism,所以应该用单数。解析:to(some people)/解析 在 give somebody an opportunity to do something这个表达中,somebody作 give的间接宾语,不加介词 to。解析:middlethe解析 “be in the middle”的意思是“中立,夹在中间”,定冠词是习惯用法。Jane Austen was an English no

29、heirits解析 此处代词的先行词是 the novel,所以应该用单数形式。解析:SinceAlthough/Though解析 要能发现这里连词的错误,必须理解两个分句的意义和逻辑关系。从句是说奥斯汀拥有广大的读者群,主句是说她的作品都是匿名出版的。所以从逻辑上来说两个分句不是因果关系,而是让步关系。解析:emergenturgent解析 emergent 和 urgent是两个易混淆的单词,前者是“浮现出来的”,后者是“紧急的”。句中 emergent和前面的“the most”不能搭配,不能说 the most emergent,和后面的“preoccupation”也不能很好的搭配,
30、所以应该是 urgent,在意义上也是和 preoccupation一致的。解析:acceptedreceived解析 accept 和 receive两个动词的区别要注意。accept 通常用于 accept an invitation,accept an offer,accept the help 等;receive 通常用于 receive education,receive a letter,receive a visitor 等。解析:readerreaders解析 主语是 her parents,所以主语补足语应该用复数 readers。解析:liveslife解析 life 作为
31、“生活”这个抽象概念时,是不可数名词,所以“某人的日常生活”the daily life of somebody,即使 somebody是复数,life 仍然不能用 lives。解析:positiveactive解析 positive 和 active两个词虽然中文释义都是“积极的”,含义却有所不同。positive 往往指(态度)积极,和 negative相对;active 指活动多的,主动的,和 passive相对,文中的意思是奥斯汀交游甚广,非常活跃,所以应该用 active。解析:wellwas解析 “be connected with”意思是“和有联系、有交往”,connect 是及
32、物动词。解析:was/解析 如果说某人关注某一个对象或领域,可以说 somebody focuses on something或one“s attention is focused on something。Austen 关注外省中产阶级的生活,所以应该说 Austen focused on.解析:therewhere解析 先行词 family在非限制性关系分句中作地点状语,还原为一个完整的分句是:marriage mainly determined women“s social status in their families,所以应该用关系副词 where或“介词+关系代词”in which。
