Part Ⅴ ErrorCorrection 

Directions: There are 10 sentences. You are required toidentify the incorrect part, then write the corresponding letter and thecorrect answer on the Answer Sheet.

1. 

He wished he didn"t tellher the truth that brought her so much pain.

didn"t tell应改为hadn"t told。[解析] 句意：他真希望自己没有告诉她真相，这一真相给她带来了太大的痛苦。wish后一般用虚拟语气，与过去的事实相反时应该用过去完成时表示。

2. 

The room, which window facesthe south, is the nicest one of all on this floor.

which应改为whose。[解析] 句意：窗户朝南的房间是这一层楼中最好的。此处指代room的关系词和window是所属关系，做window的定语，所以只能用whose。

3. 

Mary showed the customs officer herpassport, then John showed him his one .

his one应改为his，[解析] 为名词性的物主代词。句意：玛丽向海关官员出示了她的护照，然后约翰也向他出示了自己的。

4. 

I was just falling sleep lastnight when I heard a knock at the door.

sleep应改为asleep。[解析] 句意：昨晚我正要睡觉时听到了一阵敲门声。fall asleep是固定短语，意为“入睡”。

5. 

The meeting was interesting tosome people, and to me it was boring .

and应改为but。[解析] 句意：这个会议对一些人来说很有意思，但对于我来说却很无聊。此句为并列句，带转折语气。因此要用表转折的连词but。

6. 

Ever sincethe world began , nations have difficulty in keeping peacewith their neighbors.

have difficulty应改为have had difficulty。[解析] 句意：自从有了世界，国与国之间就很难和睦相处。ever since引导句子的时候，从句用过去时，主句要用现在完成时。

7. 

The boy denied to have seen anyonein the building when being questioned by the teacher shortly afterthe incident.

to have seen应改为haring seen，[解析] 因为deny后面要跟动名词做宾语。句意：事故发生后不久，当老师问起时，那个男孩否认曾经在那栋楼里见过任何人。

8. 

I could not speak the language, neitherhad I friends nor acquaintances in the town.

had I应改为could my。[解析] 句意：我不会讲那种语言，这个镇里的我的朋友和熟人也都不会。应用形容词性物主代词做定语，修饰friends。“neither+情态动词+主语”是固定句型，因前句中出现could，因此应为“neither could my friends”。

9. 

All thelights are on , the Smiths must get up .

get up应改为have got up。[解析] 句意：所有的灯都亮了，史密斯一家一定都起床了吧。显然这里是“对过去发生了的事情的肯定推测”，故只能用must have done结构。

10. 

The course normally attracts twentystudents per year , half of which will be from overseas.

half of which应改为half of whom。[解析] 句意：正常情况下，这门课程每年会吸引20位学生，其中一半将是海外留学生。逗号后是定语从句修饰先行词students，且位于介词of后，要用whom引导定语从句。
