一、题型特征& f2 f. v" U, k! r& \1 y' K5 X
/ u) _+ \* I7 `- e( P7 i* j8 H 作为CET传统题型之一,综合改错题仍然是与完型填空一起作为二选一出现,文章长度大约在200-250词之间,共包含10处错误。每行不超过一处错误,而且不包括标点符号错误和纯粹的单词拼写错误。 综合改错题难度较大,它主要测试考生的英语综合理解与表达能力。它不但要求考生有扎实的语言基础知识(如词汇语法),而且要求考生有较强语篇理解能力与表达能力,以及利用上下文进行逻辑推理的能力。8 A6 l; x4 x4 H. l' z2 ?% I% E
二、考查方式6 l- t5 N2 ]1 t$ {& f, e Q
1.改正(correction) (/)2.删除(delete) (/) 3.增添(add)(∧): ]5 l. q; s6 v* i( Y
三、错误类型
3 \) v+ H' P% E! b 逻辑表达错误、介词使用错误、代词使用错误、非谓语动词使用错误、主谓语前后不一致错误、名词的错误、代词使用错误、冠词的错误、句子结构的错误、时态语态和语气的使用错误及易混淆词的使用错误。+ v+ V4 @4 M' e2 E
四、解题步骤
9 O& r5 X3 W+ F Y; ^* R1、一般来说,做题时千万不要拿起来就改,先花1-2分钟从头到尾通读全文,,对文章大致内容有所了解,做到心中有数。
' T5 t) A% e; G+ s! |; H2、然后把重点放在有错误项的标有题号行,寻找较容易辨认的语法错误,如主谓不一致、时态、语态使用错误、非谓语动词错误等。
+ u5 t: n1 E2 Y# [$ }0 ?% U- ~3、如果错行中不存在上述明显错误,则应查看是否有词语搭配错误、易混词错误、词性错误等等细节错误。
5 x) p ] g+ C0 t% G8 J Q' L4、如果错行中急不存在语法错误,也不存在词汇错误,则从整体上查看上下文意思是否连贯,连接词是否使用正确,是否有逻辑混乱的现象,如否定句误用成肯定句造成句意不通等。 ) }2 I+ W% Z2 x" ?" ~
5、找到错误项后,按要求形式进行改正、删除或增添,并设法找到一个正确项使句子在语法语义逻辑上都成立。, y% J) ~" Y5 D

) z- f0 @# l; \) P: o7 C62.on-in。本行中According to the survey在语义和结构上都没有错;on the decline为固定搭配,意为“呈下降趋势”,符合文意,也正确;故将错误锁定为介词on。on意为“在…之上”,而此处表示“在任何地区/区域”,故将on改为in(在;在…之内)。1 ^5 M6 l7 a1 w& x4 E
63.report∧released-∧was。分析句子结构,the U.S.House(美国众议院)为句子主句,upheld(支持,赞成)为谓语,The day the NEA report released是一个时间状语从句,此处关系代词when被省略;report应该是被发表的,所以应在report和released之间插入was,released对此也有很好的提示作用。注意此处应该使用系动词的过去时态。in a tie vote为习惯用法,意为“以微弱优势胜出”。; q8 J5 ?0 `; q+ p4 o
64.demand-demanding。 “bar...from doing sth.”为固定用法,意为“阻止/禁止…做某事”。
