答案:
1 K/ g2 [) B" t V5 R! R' n 1.like改为as。as 作为连词可以用在形容词前,和动词regard或describe搭配,表示“看作,描述成”。
# S3 y8 [' l. S1 p4 \1 s' k 2.what改为how。这里要表达的是“怎样想”,而不是“想什么”,联系前一句“how things are done around here”也可以帮助发现错误。& O6 N% o; ] J% |$ k( D1 d1 D
3.wide改为broad。wide和broad容易错用。表示宽度时既可用broad,wide,wide更常用,如:a wide river;a broad river。但是表示具体的物件时只用wide,如 a wide bed,一般不说 a broad bed。 表示生理,概念或范围时,要用broad,如:a broad smile、broad shoulders、a broad meaning。
2 s8 z: [; H. o# ]/ f, H* l 4.include 改为includes。include 的主语是主句主语 corporate culture,所以应该是第三人称的单数形式。8 n. [+ J1 V Z% z; N
5.去掉to。address解释为“对某人说话”时是及物动词,无需加介词。% N% C3 S" c8 w4 c
6.after改为until。根据上下文的逻辑,文章是说,只有当求职者真正在公司工作了几个月后,才能了解它的文化。$ a0 V' {' ~4 F, o6 M! k
7.去掉the。前文没有提及,这里research是类指,而非特指。2 A) r6 p5 h, f# Q
8.on改为in。这里的介词并不是和动词spend搭配,而是和名词词组work environment一起作状语。
5 X. C I( B8 O6 P 9.去掉for。fit作为动词时,如果是及物动词,可以说fit something/somewhere。如果作为形容词,可以说 be fit for something,但是没有fit for 的用法。: p" }( O4 C( V3 P+ m) e& |' x
10.voice前面a。have a voice in something 的意思是“有权利对某事发表看法”。这个词组中的不定冠词不能省略 |
