英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析(三十四)
答案及解析：1.overweighted改为overweight
overweight本身就可以做形容词修饰people，不需要加ed。
2.correlates后加with
Correlate应与with连用，表示“A与B有关联”。
3.therefore改为however
从上下文来看，这里是转折而不是因果。
4.excessive改为excess
excess往往指数量上超过所需，多余。
excessive 往往有不赞同，否定的含义在里面，另外，excessive除了可以表示数量以外还可以表示程度，表达抽象概念。比如
After cooking fish, pour off the excess fat.
The government says that local authority spending is excessive.
5.associate 改为associated
associated 表示“关联的，相关的”。
6.about改为of
这里的意思是“与之相关的消化系统患癌症的危险实际上是饮食问题引起的，而非体重问题” ，about意思为“相关的”，这里应该为of，表性质。
7.or改为nor
neither应和nor连用表示两者皆否定，而not才和or连用。
8.on改为to
9.hazardy改为hazardous
hazard的形容词是hazardous而不是hazardy。
10.purely改为pure
