For many of these users, the Internet is stressful and overwhelmingeven accessible. Many of this stress can be 18 reduced through the application of evidence-based best

But it is just as certain as that he will never learn to talk, that is, to 23 communicate ideas according to the

It varies as all creative effort varies not as consciously, perhaps, but none the less as truly as do the religions, the belief

Currently, an estimated 50,000 species become extinct each year. If this takes on, the impact on all living creatures is likely to 32 be pr
19、ofound. All species depend in some way each other to survive. 33 If you remove one species from this very complex web of interrelationships, you have very little idea about the knock-on effects on the ecosystem. However, if you lose a key species, you 34 might cause a whole flood of other extinction
20、s. The most complicating matter is the fact in that there is no 35 obvious solution to the problem. Unlike global warming and ozone depletionwhich, if the political will is there, could be reduced by 36 cutting gas emissionspreserving bio-diversity remains an intractable problem. The late idea is “s

30、义错误。经济大萧条时期肯定是失业率上升，而不是就业率上升，因此应该使用 unemployment。解析：the the 解析 冠词冗余。固定搭配 in office表示“执政”，不能加定冠词 the。解析：dealwith解析 固定搭配中的介词缺失。deal with 是固定搭配，表示“处理”。解析：significantsignificance解析 词性混用。significant 是形容词，这里说的是“两个法案对于水资源发展具有重要的意义”，需要的是名词 significance作 had的宾语。解析：producedproducing解析 非谓语动词误用。spring flows 与 p
31、roduce不是动宾关系，而是主谓关系，所以将其改为 producing作定语修饰 spring flows，producing 在此表示“引发，导致”。解析：towardto解析 固定搭配中的介词误用。contribute to 是固定搭配，表示“促使的形成”，这里是说“这种水量的分布不均限制了发展，导致这个山谷长期处于贫困状态。”解析：agentagency解析 形近词误用。agent 表示“代理人”，而 agency表示“代理机构”，这里说“Tennessee Valley Authority 是一个公共机构”，因此使用 agency。解析：onin解析 固定搭配中的介词误用。that
32、前后均是完整的句子，不缺成分，且前后两句话构成逻辑上的因果关系，故推知此处需要一个表因果的连词。in that 有连词功能，表示“因为”。解析：moremost解析 比较级错误。此处应该使用“one of the+最高级”的形式，表示“最的之一”，这里是说“田纳西谷委员会把田纳西河治理成了世界上最规范的河流之一”。All people have some ability to manage their health and the health of those they care for.

37、on-Web users, is able to obtain, process, and understand health information to make good healthy decisions. 20 These include printed materials, media campaigns, community outreach, and interpersonal communication.（分数：25.00）解析：MeanwhileHowever解析 衔接副词误用。上文提到，“每个人都有一定的能力去管理自己的健康”，而下文中则说，“大部分人仍然需要额外的信息和
38、技能来满足他们的健康需求”。上下文之间的逻辑关系为转折，故将 Meanwhile改为 However。解析：followmeet解析 固定搭配错误。meet needs 的意思是“满足需求”，为固定搭配，故将follow改为 meet。解析：lowlower解析 形容词比较级错误。由于后文中出现了多处形容词比较级形式，如 less knowledge of chronic disease management，higher rates of hospitalization，and.根据一致性原则，该处应使用形容词比较级形式，故将 low改为 lower。解析：reportingreported
39、解析 非谓语动词误用。report 和 health status之间是动宾关系，故应该用过去分词形式表被动，将 reporting改为 reported。解析：第一个 the the 解析 冠词冗余。other technologies 的意思是“其他技术”，other 表示“其他的”。the other 表示“(在一定范围内)其他的”，与该处语境不符，故将定冠词 the去掉。解析：evenan解析 冠词缺失。results in 的宾语为 need，为可数名词单数形式，且在这里泛指“对于健康方面的一个更大的需求”，因此前面需要加不定冠词，而 even是以元音音素开头的，故在even前加 a
40、n。解析：challengechallenges解析 主谓不一致。该句的主语 The increase为单数形式，表示单数意义，故谓语动词也应使用第三人称单数形式，将 challenge改为 challenges。解析：accessibleinaccessible解析 语义错误。accessible 的意思是“易接近的，可得到的”，而根据上文中的 the Internet is stressful and overwhelming可推知，此处表达的是否定含义，故应将accessible改为 inaccessible“不易接近的，得不到的”。解析：ensureensuring解析 动词形式错误。
41、are essential to 的意思是“对于是必不可少的”，在这里 to为介词，而非不定式符号，后面应使用动名词形式，故将 ensure改为 ensuring。解析：healthyhealth解析 词性混用。形容词 healthy表示“健康的，合理的”，而名词 health却经常放在名词前作定语，表达“与健康有关的”之意，如 health care，health club 等，故将 healthy改为 health。It is of course true that in a certain sense the individual is predestined to talk, but

47、cultural“ function.（分数：25.00）解析：theirits解析 代词误用。这里代词指代的是 society，因此应该使用指代单数名词的 its。解析：itthere解析 句型错误。这里是 there be句型，there is every reason to.表示“有充分的理由”。此处意为“有充分的理由相信他将学会走路”。解析：第二个 as as 解析 介词冗余。此句中，it 是形式主语，真正的主语是 that引导的从句，此处 as certain后面省略了 as that he will learn to walk。不能把 it理解成指代前面的那句话，因为上文已经表明了
48、“我们肯定他将学会走路”，因此去掉第二个 as。这两句话的意思是“离开社会，我们有充分的理由相信他将学会走路并确实能生存下去。但是，我们同样肯定他将永远学不会交谈，即根据一个社会的传统体系来表达思想的能力。”解析：traditiontraditional 解析 词性混用。句中被修饰的是名词 system，应该使用形容词来修饰，因此应该将 tradition改为 traditional。解析：willwould解析 虚拟语气错误。本句意思是“他在新环境中形成的走路方式将会和以前的环境中的方式非常相似。”此处是一种假设，应用虚拟语气，故将 will改为，would。解析：willbe解析 be 动
49、词缺失。at 是介词，will 与 at之间应加入 be动词。本句意为“但是他的语言将完全不同于他的本土语言。”at variance with 表示“与不符”。解析：voluntaryinvoluntary解析 语义错误。and 前后的成分在形式和感情色彩上应保持一致，根据上文语义以及 purposeless可知，本句的意思是“这种变化是无意识、无目的的。”voluntary 表示“故意的”，不符合语义，应使用 involuntary“无意识的”。解析：purepurely解析 词性混用。此处应使用副词修饰形容词 historical，表示“纯粹历史性的”，故将 pure改为 purely。解析：peoplepeoples解析 词义混淆。people 作为集合名词，意思是“人类，人们”，但是它还可以作可数名词的单数，意思是“民族，种族”。根据上下文可知，此处考查“民族，种族”之意，而且被different所修饰，故应使用其复数形式 peoples。解析：acquiringacquired解析 非谓语动词误用。acquire 和 speech之间是动宾关系，故应使用过
