15、 leaving remaining customers to shoulder the cost of keeping up the line.(分数:25.00)解析:countedaccounted解析 形近词误用。account for是固定搭配,表示“占比例”。本句意思是“在1995年,四大铁路占据铁路运输总量的70%。”解析:areis解析 主谓不一致。因为该句主语中心词“一系列”是作为一个整体考虑的,为单数意义,故应把are改为is。解析:allowfor解析 介词缺失。allow作及物动词表示“允许”,而此处allow作不及物动词讲,意思是“考虑,顾及”,如果接宾语的话需要使用
16、介词for,如:In calculating profit,retailers must allow for breakage and spoilage“计算利润时,零售商们必须考虑破损情况。”解析:asfor解析 介词误用。as表示“作为”,而此处是说“对于”体积超大的货物运输来讲,因此使用for更合适。解析:costcostly解析 词性混用。cost只能作名词或动词,而此处需要形容词costly,表示“卡车运输成本太高”。解析:the the 解析 冠词冗余。这里most不是最高级,而是表示“大多数”,因此不需要定冠词the。解析:whomwho解析 关系代词误用。此处定语从句的先行词s
17、hippers在句中作主语,不能使用代指宾语的whom。解析:forto解析 介词误用。appeal for表示“请求”,而这里说“如果发货人觉得自己被多收费了,可以向水陆运输委员会提起上诉。”表示“向上诉”的词组是appeal to,故将for改为to。解析:第一个andbut解析 连词误用。上句说“发货人可以向水陆运输委员会提起上诉,请求减价”,下句说“这个过程既花钱,又耗时,而且仅仅是在极端情况下才会有效”,由此可见这两句是转折关系,而不是顺承关系。解析:inon解析 固定搭配中的介词误用。off the grounds表示“以为由,以为条件”。二、PART WRITING(总题数:1,
