26、ws viewers attention. For example, notice how many commercials begin with a cheerful song of some type.(分数:25.00)解析:mostmore解析 形容词比较级错误。此处说人们对辅音要比对元音更加敏感,并且有表示比较的标志词than,因此应该使用比较级。解析:thatthose解析 代词误用。该句是说“广告商尽量使用与植入广告的节目不一样的声音”,此处代词指代前面出现的sounds,应该用复数指示代词those。解析:loudlouder解析 形容词比较级错误。此处的语境是比较电视广告和节
27、目播放的声音,并且有表示比较的标志词than,因此需要使用loud的比较级形式。解析:allowingallowed解析 非谓语动词误用。此处是指“电视台为了追求效益,经常使用政策允许范围内的最大音量”,“音量”和“允许”之间是动宾关系,因此应该使用allow的过去分词形式表被动。解析:vatrietya解析 冠词缺失。a variety of是固定搭配,表示“多种”,相当于various。解析:createcreating解析 动词形式错误。介词at后面应该接动名词,be skilful at doing sth. 意为“擅长做某事”,因此应该使用creating。解析:第一个ofto解析
28、介词误用。contributor表示“促使某事形成的因素”,后面跟介词to,这和它的动词短语contribute to的用法是一样的。解析:occuroccurs解析 主谓不一致。该句的主语是much less variation in sound level,中心词variation是单数名词,因此谓语应该用第三人称单数形式occurs。解析:AnotherOther解析 近义词误用。此处承接上一段,继续讲电视台播放广告的其他伎俩。other通常指“(除之外)另外的,其他的”,而another则泛指“又一,再一”,且another后面只能接单数名词,故将Another改为Other。解析:i
29、n in 解析 介词冗余。此处noises后面接一个定语从句,noises前面的限定词是any,引导词应该使用that。所以that前面的in冗余。二、PART TRANSLATION(总题数:1,分数:20.00)1.全中国的读书人,大概从唐朝以来,命中注定应读一篇桃花源记,因此把桃源当成一个洞天福地。人人皆知那地方是武陵渔人发现的,有桃花夹岸,芳草鲜美。远客来到,乡下人就杀鸡温酒,表示欢迎。乡下人都是避秦隐居的遗民,不知有汉朝,更无论魏晋。千余年来读书人对桃源的印象,并未有怎么改变,故每当国体衰弱时,想做遗民的必多,这文章也就增加了许多人的幻想。 文段摘选自沈从文散文桃源与沅州(分数:20
