大学英语六级：短文改错(三)

会计考友

本期重点：介词短语和固定搭配
介词短语就是由多个词构成的介词，如because of，in spite of等；固定搭配则指习语和一些常见的固定用法，即由名词、形容词、动词等和介词或者副词构成的短语，如influence on, different from, rely on 等。无论是介词短语还是固定搭配，考点常常对准介词，出现介词误用的情况；除此之外，对固定搭配的考查也常常涉及搭配中的冠词和名词单复数等问题，如将in contrast误用为in the contrast，keep one’s words误用为keep one’s word等等。
一、例题精析：
例1： But to sociologists, to be
human is to be cultured, because of culture is the common world S7.______
of experience we share with other members of our group.
解析：分析句子的结构可知，because of 后面是一个完整的句子。当表示原因时because of 后跟名词，because 后跟句子，所以此处的of应该去掉。

& d7 i* z; N. C4 S8 {9 I- ]! F2 @formatting by sending it to yourself first. Keep up S8_________
the format simple.
7 |; m. h) m! Q( o1 C6 ?. V解析：keep up意为“坚持，维持”；keep表示“保持”，可以在后面加宾语及其补足语。
例3：As we know, smoking not only gives harm to smokers’ health, 1. __________
but also non-smokers who live with them.
解析：此处考查固定搭配do harm to，意为“对…有害”，所以此处的gives应改为does。
. X$ w9 J+ x& }& f例4：There may be sound medical reasons for accepting electrical
shock treatment, but such reasons are totally dependent in the balance of 75. ____risks and benefits for the patients.
解析：dependent on 意思为“依靠，依赖”，而没有dependent in 这种用法。所以这里应该将in改为on。

参考答案及解析
巩固与拓展：
8 H7 E, E# H- a7 ?1．head -> mind 本题考查固定搭配keep in mind的用法，意思为“记住”。
3 W- f4 ]7 M+ i  w2．Rooms后加with 本题考查fill sth with sth 的用法，意思为“使…充满…，使…填满…”。注意还有be filled with，be full of 的用法，两个的意思同样为“填满了、充满了”。
3．consisted后加of consist为不及物动词，如果要再后面跟宾语的话应先加上of，意思为“由…构成”。
2 L+ W9 E+ q3 |2 h4．make -> take take advantage of 为固定搭配，意思为“利用”，与其同样意思的词组还有make use of。
) L% @; ?1 q" i' ]  p3 k7 ^) o5．by -> for

9 H3 H" e$ ^9 n: Z9 f综合练习：
& n2 f' b2 ^; T9 t4 i! [, m1．for -> as
介词误用。根据句意，此处意思是“作为”的意思，故用as。
2．去掉第一个in
) o! y/ d6 J1 q; {* C# q句子结构混乱。此处定语从句的关系副词为where，证明从句缺地点状语；live后面如果使用in，那么从句就只却宾语，所以将in去掉。
* U+ v! i/ w. W8 s3．smallest -> biggest
逻辑错误。整篇文章讲的都是纽约城洛克菲勒地区的建设如何完善和巨大，因此它成为“城中城”，可见此处要说的是“它是同类型项目中最大的一个”，故将smallest改为biggest
4．has -> have
" G9 R* z3 s; c! ?1 I7 I. v主谓不一致。定语从句的谓语动词应该和先行词保持一致，此处先行词为复数，所以谓语动词用have。
5．are -> were
整篇文章的基本时态为一般过去时，此处依然将过去的事情，故将are改为were。
6．erect -> erected
5 t8 ~1 j  U' O3 d此处是典型的被动语态，系动词后面要使用过去分词。
$ F2 p. L, E$ d9 ^2 `$ [7．primary -> primarily
词性混淆。此处应该用副词修饰动词resulted。
8．were -> was
主谓不一致。本句的主语为A Sunken plaza，而complete with yards and fountains只是插入语，所以谓语动词要用单数。
6 d3 O2 c  B) V; \; Y* v0 U9．in -> to
. s$ X. l; W. ]8 K3 J4 E! c此处access to 意为“通向…的入口”，与其相关的词组还有have access to（to为介词） ,意思为“有权利…，有机会做…” 。
! V- E  [6 ^# O# [) x9 C10．attraction -> attractions
名次单复数问题。前面有了one of，attraction又时可数名词，故使用复数
