专八英语考前自测冲刺题-改错篇03
Many of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modern women tend to have the opposite effect, so they simply __1__ change the nature of work instead of eliminting it. Machines have a certain novelty value, as toys for adults. It is certainly less __2__ tired to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does __3__ not really amount too much: the machine has to be watched, the __4__ clothes have to be carefully sorted out, stains removed by hand,water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed. It would be more liberal to pack it all off to a laundary and not necessarily __5__ more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Nevertheless, if you really want to save time you do not make __6__ cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of the woman in the women's magazine to the goods advertised __7__ by those periodicals, one realizes how useful a projected image can be commercially.A careful balance has to be struck: if you show a labor-saving device, follow it up with a complex recipe on the next page; on __8__ any account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a __9__ job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasize __10__ the creative aspect of her funtion as a housewife.
答案：
1.so--because．第一句话里两个分句之间的关系应该是主句为结果，从句为原因，所以so改为because。
2.as--like．当as做介词使用时往往表示“作为，当作”，而这里的意思是“像……”，所以应改为like，因为当like作介词用时，表示“像……”。
3.tired--tiring．tired形容人，表示“累了”，如果说某物使人累，应用tiring。
4.too--to．这里amount应和介词to组成词组表示“达到（多少）”，如：That plan will never amount to anything.
5.liberal--liberating．liberal的含义是“自由的，解放的，大方的”，含义不贴切，应换成liberating，意思是“将（某人）解放了的”。
6.Nevertheless--Similary/Likewise．这里上下句的关系式并列的，平行的，不能用nevertheless引导，应换成Similarly或者Likewise。
7.to--with．compare...to...的意思是“将……比作……”，有比喻的含义，人这里是“把……和……相比较”。
8.complex--complicated．complex的意思是“（由于有许多关联部分组成，所以某结构）很复杂”。
9.any--no．由于后面有but，所以这里应把any换成no，表示“无论如何不能……”。
10.^emphasize--and; emphasize--emphasizing．emphasize分句和foster分句如果是并列的话，应该加上一个连词，不能仅用逗号连接，或者把emphasize变成-ing形式构成分句修饰foster分句。
