专业八级的改错练习
专业八级的改错练习12
Most people would describe water like a colorless liquid. They __1__would know that in very cold conditions it becomes a solid called ice and that when heating on a fire it becomes a vapor called steam. __2__However, water, they would say, is a liquid. We have learned that water consists of molecules composed with two atoms of hydrogen __3__and one atom of oxygen, which we describe by the formula H2O.
This is equally true of the solid called ice and the gas called steam.Chemically there is no difference between the gas, the liquid, and the solid, all of which is made up of molecules with the formula H2O. __4__This is true of other chemical substances; most of them can exist as gases or as liquids or as solids. We may normally think of iron as a solid, but if we will heat it in a furnace, it will melt and become a __5__liquid, and at very high temperatures it will become a gas. Nothing
very permanent occurs when a gas changes into a liquid or a solid.Everyone knows that ice, which has been made by freezing water,can be melted again by warmed and that steam can be condensed __6__on a cold surface to become liquid water. In fact, it is only because water is so a familiar substance that different names are used for __7__the solid, liquid and gas. Most substances are only familiar with __8__us in one state, because the temperatures requiring to turn them __9__into gases are very high, or the temperatures necessary to turn them into solids are so low. Water is an exception in this respect, which is another reason why its three states have given three different names. __10__
答案:
1 改like为as.describe sth as sth 是把„„描述成„„的意思。
2 改heating为heated.在时间,条件,让步等状语从句中,当从句主语和主句主语是一致的时候,可以将从句的主语和be的变化形式省略。
3 改with为of.be composed of 意思为“包括,由„„组成”
4 改is made up 为 are made up.which 指代上文中的 the gas, the liquid,and the solid,表示复数概念,所以要用are
5 将第一个will去掉,在时间条件状语从句和条件状语从句中要用现在时表示将来时。
6 by改为when.when warm 相当于 when it is warmed
7 改so为such.
8改with为to.短语familiar to 后面才能接“某人” familiar with 是接sth
9改requiring为required.过去分词短语作后置定语时,和被修饰的名词时逻辑动宾关系。 10 have 后加 been.动词give和主语three states 是动宾关系
专业八级的改错练习13
Classic Intention Movement
In social situations, the classic Intention Movement is “the chair-grasp”. Host and guest have been talking for some time, but now the host has an ppointment to keep and can get away. His urge __1__to go is held in cheek by his desire not be rude to his guest. If he did __2__not care of his guest’s feelings he would simply get up out of his chair __3__and to announce his departure. This is what his body wants to do, __4__therefore his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him __5__raise. It is at this point that he performs the chair-grasp Intention __6__Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leans forward and grasps the arms of the chair as about to push himself upwards. __7__This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not __8__hesitating, it would only last the fraction of the second. He would lean, __9__push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holds his “readiness-to-rise” post and keeps on holding it. It is as if his __10__body had frozen at the get-ready moment.
答案:
1 将can改为must。根据上下文的意思“主人有一个约会,必须离开”是客观要求,而不是“能不能”或者“可不可以”的问题。
2 not后面加to。desire 后应该加动词不定式to do something。
3 将of 改为about。care about意思为“对„在意,在乎”,而care of 意思为“转交”。(觉得还可以直接去掉 of,care 本身也有在乎的意思,可是答案不这么写,你怎么看嘞?)
4 删掉and或者to。
5 将therefore 改为 yet或but。这两部分之间应是转折的关系。
6 将raise改为rise。raise 是及物动词,后面必须加宾语,而且在此与文章意思不符。rise意为“起身”,“站起来”,符合文义。
7 在as 和 about之间加上if或者though。此处的意思是主人身子往前倾,双手抓着椅子,好像就要站起来一样。as if/ though to do something 意思为“仿佛要做什么事情”。
8 将make改为perform或do。此处考查搭配问题,动词make与前面的act不能搭配。
9将the改为a。a fraction of a second 意思为非常短暂的时间。
10 将post改为posture
专业八级的改错练习14
The hunter-gatherer tribes that today live as our prehistoric human __1__ancestors consume primarily a vegetable diet supplementing with animal foods __2__An analysis of 58 societies of modern hunter-gatherers, including the Kung of southern Africa, revealed that one-half emphasize gathering plants foods,
one-third concentrate on fishing, and only one-sixth are primarily hunters,Overall, two-thirds and more of the hunter-gatherer’s calories come from _3__plants. Detailed studies of the Kung by the food scientists at the University of London, showed that gathering is a more productive source of food than is hunting. An hour of hunting yields in average about 100 edible __4__calories, as an hour of gathering produces 240. __5__Plant foods provide for 60 percent to 80 percent of the Kung diet, and no __6__one goes hungry when the hunt fails. Interestingly, if they escape
fatal infections or accidents, these contemporary aborigines live to old ages despite of the absence __7__of medical care. They experience no obesity, no middle-aged spread, little dental decay, no high blood pressure, no heart disease, and their blood cholesterol levels are very low (about half of the average American adult). __8__If no one is suggesting that we return to an aboriginal life style, we certainly __9__could use their eating habits as a model for healthier diet. __10__
答案:
1 将as 改为like。此处的意思是“像史前人类祖先那样生活”。
2 将supplementing改为supplemented。supplemented 修饰diet,可以看作which is supplemented with animal foods的简化形式。
3 将and 改为or。
4将in改为on。on average 是固定用法。
5 将as 改为while或者whereas
6删掉for,或者将provide改为account。此处provide 是及物动词,后面不用介词for
7 删掉第一个of。despite 做介词,后面直接接名词。
8 在half后加that。that 指代前面的blood cholesterol levels,不能省略,因为这里是将部落成员的胆固醇含量与美国人的胆固醇含量相比较。
9将if改为whereas或者while。此处意思为“尽管没有人„„,但是„„”,是转折关系。
10在for后面加不定冠词a。
专业八级的改错练习15
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 __1__is learnt 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 we __3__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. We __5__begin the ‘natural’ learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to read or write, and in our early years we went on unconsciously imitating and __6__practicing the pronunciation of those around us for many more hours per every __7__day than we ever have to spend learning even our difficult English spelling.
This is ‘ natural’, therefore, that our speech-sounds should be those of our im- __8__mediate circle; after all, as we have seen, speech operates a means of holding a community and to give a sense of ‘belonging’. We learn quite early to recognize a __9__‘stranger’, someone who speaks with an accent of a different community—perhaps only a few miles far. __10__
答案:
1将and改为whereas/but/yet
2 将with改为of。unconscious of 是固定搭配。
3 删掉out。speak out 意思为“大胆地说”,“大声地说”,与此处意思不符。
4将firstly改为first
5将which改为that或者将which删掉。限制性定语从句前面的先行词是something,因此要用that引导
定语从句。也可以将which删掉,不用任何引导词。
6将went改为go
7删掉per或者every
8将This改为It。It在此处做形式主语,后面的that从句是真正的主语。
9 在community后面加together。此处的大意为“语音是把社区团结在一起的工具”。
10将far改为away。“只有几英里远”应是 a few miles away。
专业八级的改错练习16
Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior.
Viewing biologically, the modern footballer is revealed as a member of a disguised __1__hunting pack. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football
and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is inaccurate and he scores a goal, __2__enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey. __3__To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look up at our ancient ancestors. They spent over a million __4__year evolving as co-operative hunters. Their very survival depended on success __5__in the hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even if their __6__bodies, became radically changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They co-operate as skillful male-group __7__attackers.
Then, about ten thousand years ago, when this immensely long formative __8__period of hunting for food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence,
so vital to their old hunting life, were put to a new use—that of penning, __9__controlling and domesticating their prey. The food was there on the farms,awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of farming were no longer __10__essential for survival.
答案:
1 将viewing改为viewed。非谓语动词view和句子的主语是逻辑动宾关系。
2 将inaccurate改为accurate。如果真的目标不准确,也就不可能进球了(he scores a goal)。
3 在enjoys前面加he。由于前面if his aim is accurate and he scores a goal 是条件状语从句,因此可见这里是主句,主句的主语he是不可以省略的。
4 将look up at的up省略
5 将year变为复数
6 将if去掉
7 将co-operate 改为co-operated
8 将when改为after
9将were改为was。该谓语动词的主语是Their improved intelligence,是单数。
10 将farming改为hunting。纵观全文,在从事种植业后,“狩猎”而不是“农耕”的危险和不确定性对人们的生存已经不再那么重要了。

During the early years of this century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood
of Western Canada. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat in almost as much feeling as if they were growers. The marketing of wheat __1__
became an increasing favorite topic of conversation. __2__
War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop.
For years, farmers mistrusted speculative grain selling as carried on through
the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn,
so farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that __3__ they sold their wheat soon shortly after harvest when farm debts were coming due, __4__
just to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producers __5__ groups asked firmer control, but the government had no wish to become __6__
involving, at least not until wartime when wheat prices threatened to run wild. __7__ Anxious to check inflation and rising life costs, the federal government appointed __8__ a board of grain supervisors to deal with deliveries from the crops of 1917

fixed by the board. To handle with the crop of 1919, the government appointed __9__
the first Canadian Wheat Board, with total authority to buy, sell, and set prices. __10__ 答案:

1. Steve Jobs
史蒂芬·乔布斯CEO of Apple Computers 苹果电脑CEO Stanford University 斯坦福大学June 12, 2005
2005年6月12日Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary。
记着你总会死去，这是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳办法。赤条条来去无牵挂，还有什么理由不随你的心？！你的时间是有限的，因此不要把时间浪费在过别人的生活上。不要被教条所困——使自己的生活受限于他人的思想成果。不要让他人的意见淹没了你自己内心的声音。最重要的是，要有勇气跟随你的内心与直觉，它们好歹已经知道你真正想让自己成为什么。其他的，都是次要的。
2. David Foster Wallace
Novelist 小说家Kenyon College 肯尼恩学院May 21, 2005
2005年5月21日There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys. How's the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”... simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:“This is water。”“This is water。”It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out。
有两条小鱼一起在水里游，碰到一条老鱼迎面游过来。老鱼向他们点点头，并说：“早上好，孩子们。水怎么样？”这两条小鱼继续往前游了一会儿后，其中一条小鱼实在忍不住了，看了一下另一条小鱼，问道：“水到底是什么东西？”……简单的意识；对我们生活中如此真实、如此必不可少、无处不在、无时不在的事物的意识，需要我们一遍一遍地提醒自己：“这是水。”“这是水。”天天都保持意识清醒而鲜活，在成人世界中做到这点，是不可想象地难。

2006年5月6日You must believe in yourself and in your work. When our first Batman movie broke all those box-office records, I received a phone call from that United Artists exec who, years before, had told me I was out of my mind. Now he said, “Michael, I'm just calling to congratulate you on the success of Batman. I always said you were a visionary。” You see
the point here — don't believe them when they tell you how bad you are or how terrible your ideas are, but also, don't believe them when they tell you how wonderful you are and how great your ideas are. Just believe in yourself and you'll do just fine. And, oh yes, don't then forget to market yourself and your ideas. Use both sides of your brain.You must have a high threshold for frustration. Take it from the guy who was turned down by every studio in Hollywood. You must knock on doors until your knuckles bleed. Doors will slam in your face. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again. It's the only way to achieve your goals in life。
你必须相信你自己，对自己的工作充满信心。当我们的第一部电影《蝙蝠侠》创下史无前例的票房纪录时，我接到了艺术家联合会会长的电话，他在数年之前曾说我疯了。如今他说：“迈克尔，我给你打电话祝贺《蝙蝠侠》的成功。我总说你是一位有远见的人。”你看，关键在这里，当他们说你有多差，你的想法有多糟的时候，不要信他们的话，同时，当他们告诉你你有多么了不起，你的想法多美妙时，也不要相信他们。你就只相信你自己，这样你就能做好。还有，那就是，不要忘记推销你自己和你的想法。左右大脑你都得用。要能经受得住挫败。这是被好莱坞每一家制片厂拒绝过的人的经验。你必须去敲一扇扇的门，直到指关节流血。大门会在你面前砰然关上，你必须重振旗鼓，弹去身上的灰尘，再敲下一扇门。这是实现你人生目标的唯一办法。

伍迪·海耶斯College Fooball Coach 大学橄榄球教练Ohio State University 俄亥俄州立大学May 14, 1986
1986年5月14日In football we always said that the other team couldn't beat us. We had to be sure that we didn't beat ourselves. And that’s what people have to do, too — make sure they don't beat themselves.... you'll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never。
在橄榄球场上，我们总是说其他队战胜不了我们。我们必须做到不把自己打垮。所有人也都必须这么做，确保自己不要被自己打垮。……你会发现，来得容易的东西总是一文不值。事实上，我从来没有看到哪位橄榄球运动员是带着微笑完成阻截的。从来没有。

2006年5月17日Number One: Fall in love with the process and the results will follow.Number Two: Do your work.Number Three: Once you're prepared, throw your preparation in the trash.Number Four: You are capable of more than you think.Number Five: Listen.Number Six: Take action.You have a choice. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life. Action is the antidote to apathy and cynicism and despair。
第一，爱上过程，结果自然会来。第二，做你的事。第三，一旦准备好，就付诸行动。第四，你能做的，超出了你的想象。第五，聆听。第六，采取行动。你有一个选择。要么你成为环境的被动受害者，要么你主动成为自己生活的英雄。行动可以消除冷漠、玩世不恭与绝望。

2003年5月17日It doesn't matter whether your dream came true if you spent your whole life sleeping.Ask yourself one question: If I didn't have to do it perfectly, what would I try?Nobody else is paying as much attention to your failures as you are. You're the only one who is obsessed with the importance of your own life. To everyone else, it's just a blip on the radar screen, so just move on。
如果你一生都在睡觉，你的梦想是否实现就无关紧要了。问你自己一个问题：如果我不是必须做得完美，那我还努力什么呢？没有人会像你自己那样对自己的失败那么在意。你是唯一一个能追求自己的生活意义的人。对于其他所有人来说，你只是雷达荧光屏上的一个光点。所以，只管前行吧。
7. Earl Bakken
厄尔·巴肯Businessman 商人University of Hawaii 夏威夷大学May 16, 2004
2004年5月16日By all reckoning, the bumblebee is aerodynamically unsound and shouldn't be able to fly. Yet, the little bee gets those wings going like a turbo-jet and flies to every plant its chubby little body can land on to collect all the nectar it can hold. Bumblebees are the most persistent creatures. They don't know they can't fly, so they just keep buzzing around. Never give in to pessimism. Don't know that you can't fly, and you will soar like an eagle. Don't end up regretting what you did not do because you were too lazy or too frightened to soar. Be a bumblebee! And soar to the heavens. You can do it。 无论怎么考量，大黄蜂从空气动力学上讲是不健全、不应该会飞的。但是，这种小蜜蜂却像涡轮喷气飞机一样地展翅飞行，飞到它圆乎乎的身体能够降落的任何植物上去采蜜。大黄蜂最坚韧的生灵，它们不知道自己不能飞，因此它们只管到处嗡嗡地飞个不停。千万不要悲观。不知道你不会飞，你会像鹰一样高高飞翔。不要到头来后悔自己因为太懒或太怕高飞而无所作为。做一只大黄蜂。飞到天上去。你能做到的。
8. John Walsh
约翰·沃尔什Author and art historian 作家和艺术历史学家Wheaton College 惠顿学院2000
2000年Do one thing at a time. Give each experience all your attention. Try to resist being distracted by other sights and sounds, other thoughts and tasks, and when it is, guide your mind back to what you're doing. I'm not warning against learning many things on many subjects. My warning is against distraction, whether you invite it or just let it happen. In baseball, high-percentage hitters know better: it's “focus” they talk about, and they prize it as much as strength. Psychologists describe skilled rock climbers and tennis players and pianists as going beyond focus, to what they have called a “flow” experience, a sense of absorption with the rock or the ball or the music in which the “me versus it” disappears and there's a kind of oneness with the task that brings a joyful higher awareness, as well as successful performance. I've had these experiences, too little but not too late, and probably you have, too. They are a supreme kind of pleasure. You will have more of them if you do one thing at a time。
一次做一件事情。全力关注你每一次的经历。决不要被别的声色之物和其他想法、任务分心。一旦分心了，引导你的注意力重新回到你做的事情上。我不是在反对学习多个学科的众多知识。我所警告的是分心与干扰，无论是你主动招惹的，还是让它发生的。在棒球场上，得分高的击球员对此有更深体会：他们谈的是“专注”，他们把它看得跟力量一样重要。在心理学家的描述中，高技能的攀岩者、网球运动员、钢琴家已经超越了专注，达到了他们所称的经验之“流”，那是一种跟岩石、网球或音乐融为一体的感觉，“我与它”已然消失，跟任务合二为一，给人以更高水平的愉悦体验，而不仅仅是成功地完成了任务。我有这种体验，虽然很少，但来得还不算迟，或许你也有这种体验。这是一种最高形式的快乐。如果你一次专注于一件事情，你就会有更多这样的体验。

大卫·卡尔霍恩Businessman 商人Virginia Tech 弗吉尼亚理工大学May 13, 2005
2005年5月13日I worked for a guy named Jack Welch for twenty years at GE. He was, and is, a great mentor as much as a great leader. If I had to isolate the subject he spoke most passionately to me about, over all those years, it is that SELF CONFIDENCE is the most important, the indispensable characteristic of success, the common characteristic shared by great leaders whose talents may have varied widely in most other respects. So, how do you get it? What is the secret to developing your own brand of self-confidence? First, you must resolve to grow intellectually, morally, technically, and professionally every day through your entire work and family life. You need to ask yourself every day: Am I really up to speed or falling behind? Am I still learning? Or am I just doing the same stuff on a different day or as Otis Redding sings, “Sitting on the dock of the bay... watching the tide roll away?” The lust for learning is age-independent. Another important way to build your confidence is to seek out the toughest jobs, the most daunting scientific, engineering or management challenges。
我在通用公司为一个名叫杰克·韦尔奇的家伙工作了20年。他既是一位伟大的领导者，也是一位伟大的导师，过去是，现在也是。如果我必须找出那些年里他充满激情地对我说的最主要的话，那就是：自信是最重要的，它是成功必不可少的，是所有在其他多数方面才能也许大相径庭的伟大领导者的共同特征。如何获得自信？培养你特有的自信的秘诀是什么？首先，你必须下决心每天都通过你的工作和家庭生活去获得智力、道德、技术与专业上的提高。你需要每天问自己：我是在加速前进还是在后退？我还在学习吗？我是在每天重复做同样的事情或就像奥蒂斯·瑞汀所唱的那样，“坐在海湾的码头上，看潮起潮落”？对学习的渴望是不受年龄限制的。培养自信的另一个重要途径是寻找最难做的工作，最棘手的科学、工程或管理方面的难题。
10. Marc S. Lewis
马克·刘易斯Clinical psychology professor 临床心理学教授University of Texas at Austin 得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校May 19, 2000
2000年5月19日There are times when you are going to do well, and times when you're going to fail. But neither the doing well, nor the failure is the measure of success. The measure of success is what you think about what you've done. Let me put that another way: The way to be happy is to like yourself and the way to like yourself is to do only things that make you proud. There's that old joke, not very funny, that goes, “No matter where you go, there you are。” That's true. The person who you're with most in life is yourself and if you don't like yourself you're always with somebody you don't like。
有时候你会干得很漂亮，有时候你会失败，但二者都不是衡量成功的标准。衡量成功的标准是你自己对你的所为怎么看。让我换一句话说：让自己幸福的办法是喜欢你自己，喜欢自己的办法是只做让你自己感到骄傲的事情。有一个老笑话，不是很好笑，它是这么说的：“无论你走到哪里，你都在那里。”这是真的。你一生中跟你在一起最多的人是你自己，如果你不喜欢你自己，那你就会总是跟你不喜欢的人在一起。
