大学英语六级改错练习(5)
本期重点：名词名词方面主要考查的是名词的单复数形式(例1、4)。此时要注意的是一些词加s后意思就有可能改变，例如：paper(纸)papers(试卷)、safe(安全的)safes(保险箱)、glass(玻璃)glasses(眼镜)、wood(木材)woods(树林)、work(工作)works(作品)等。还有一些特殊的复合名词也要注意，例如father-in-law 改成复数形式是fathers-in-law。
考点解析：
例1：Operating within Seattle, which has 20 percents racial S2__________
minorities, the paper has put into place policies.
解析：在表达“百分之几”时，只需用基数词加上单数percent即可。
例2：In addition, the paper instituted a content
audit (审查) that evaluates the frequency and manner of
representation of woman and people of color in photographs S7._________
解析：不定冠词a(n)或定冠词the加上单数个体名词可以指一类事物，若不用冠词，则名词须为复数。此处woman与people并列作为of 的宾语，由于people是集体名词，单数形式表复数意义，从平衡角度出发，应该将woman改为women。
例3：Words came that the missing boy had been found. 1.__________
解析:word为当可数名词时，意思为“(某人所说的)话”，当其为不可数名词时，意思为“消息”。根据句意，本题中word应改为“消息”的意思，所以应该把Words改为Word。
例4：They spent over a million year evolving as co-operative hunters. S5.__________
解析：year是可数名词，而且前面又有a million 修饰，所以要用复数。

巩固与拓展
1.experiences -> experience
当experience为可数名词时，意思是“经历”，当为不可数名词时，意思为“经验”。根据句子的意思，应该是“教学经验”。
2.woman -> women
由man、woman、lord构成的复合名词应前后两个词都变为复数形式。
3.phenomena -> phenomenon 或this -> these
phenomena是phenomenon 的复数形式。前面有this修饰，应该用单数。
4.voice -> noise
voice意思是“(人的)声音”，而noise指的是噪声。
5.object -> objects
综合练习
1.smoke -> smoking
smoke作名词时意为“烟雾”，作动词时意为“吸烟”。此处指吸烟和肺部疾病的关系
故使用smoking。
2.and -> / 或and -> then
and是并列连词，连接两个对称的分句。但此处前面是条件状语从句，不对称，故应该去掉and或将and改为 then，使后面变成主句
3.with -> of
accuse sb of sth 意为“为….而控告或谴责某人”，不能使用介词with
4.a -> /
此处显然不是“在一家好公司”( in a good company)的意思，而是说“有人和你作伴”(in good company)。此处的company意为“陪伴”，抽象名词，前面不用冠祠。
5.not -> /
逻辑错误
6.that -> why
此处的意思是要找到“为什么官方对医学发现应冷淡”。
7.simple -> simply
这里的句意是“答案仅仅是钱”，故使用副词simply。simple的意思是“简单”。
8.lonely -> alone
lonely意为“孤独”的，alone意为“单独，一个”，此处意为“单税收一项”，故用alone
9.collect -> collects
本句的主语是the government of Britain ，是单数，所以谓语collect也要用单数。
10.harmful前加be
本句的conceivably 是插入语，如果不看它的话，就很容易看出这个句子缺少了系动词be
