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.
AlthoughPeter has been laughed a lot , he won"t give up hisplan.
laughed应改为laughed at。[解析] 句中laugh是不及物动词,用被动语态时需要用介词at来帮其构成及物的短语动词。故B错。句意:尽管皮特常被嘲笑,但他不会放弃他的计划。
2.
I can"t hardly believe it when I sawit with my own eyes .
can"t hardly应改为could hardly。[解析] 因为hardly本身就是半否定词,在此处不应再和否定词连用,又因从句是过去时,故应该用could。句意:当我亲眼看见时几乎不能相信。
3.
He likes not only to discuss things withme but also asking for my advice .
asking应改为to ask。[解析] 本句中not only...but also是并列连接词,它连接的两个成分在语法方面必须一致,故asking应改为to ask,以保持和前面的to discuss在语法形式上一致。句意:他不仅喜欢和我讨论事情,还喜欢向我询问建议。
4.
If I worked with him lastyear, I would have got on very well with him.
worked应改为had worked。[解析] 本题考查虚拟语气的用法。句中的条件状语从句的时间状语是last year,与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句的谓语应用过去完成时。句意:如果去年我和他一起工作的话,我会和他相处得很好。
5.
They couldn"t decide whetherthey should leave the theater or to stay there .
to stay there应改为stay there。[解析] 句中的whether...or是表示选择的并列连词,因此or后面的语法成分要和前面保持一致。本句中or所连接的是从句谓语动词,因为在should之后,所以D项应改为和leave一致的动词原形。句意:他们无法决定是离开剧院还是待在那儿。
6.
While attempted to reach hishome before the storm, John had an accident on his bicycle.
attempted应改为attempting。[解析] 分析句子结构可知前面是一个时间状语从句,因为前后主语一致,所以可省略从句主语及谓语的be动词。原句应为:while he was attempting to reach his home...。省略he was后A项应为attempting。句意:当他试图在暴风雨前回到家时,约翰骑车遇到了车祸。
7.
Do you remember to be introduced toProfessor Smith during your last visit ?
to be introduced应改为being introduced。[解析] 考查remember的用法:remember to do sth..“记住要做某事(还未做)”,remember doing sth..“记得做了某事”。题中during your last visit说明应该是过去已经做了,故B项应改为being introduced。句意:你记得上次你来访时,被引见给史密斯教授了吗?
8.
Give the package to whomever hasthe authority to sign for it .
whomever应改为whoever。[解析] 名词性从句连接代词误用。宾语从句has前缺少主语,故该用主格代词,whomever是宾格代词,因此应改为whoever。句意:请把包裹给有权签发它的人。
9.
When I got to the cinema, the film hadalready started ; I ought to get there earlier .
ought to get应改为ought to have got。[解析] 句中后半句有“本该早点到”的意思,故C项应改为ought to have got。句意:当我到达电影院时,电影已经开始了;我本该早点到那里的。
10.
I could go myself but I wouldsooner you go .
go应改为went。[解析] 考点是虚拟语气:would sooner、would rather后的从句要用虚拟语气,即从句谓语动词用过去式,故D项应改为went。句意:我自己能去,但我宁愿你去。
