4 _, W/ W9 u8 ~' S 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。 w4 l; i5 E8 T3 m! |, t" f- }( K

1、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。 $ I# M0 P8 P2 t6 S- M3 E0 a, L8 }
2、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。
T5 a! E/ }' o, L3、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。 * X0 A- q! w$ S
4、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。

" D' |# B& h6 U- K* |; @62.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)。
+ {2 g/ d+ T/ C1 m1 H9 a63.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”。7 e) i& O8 F& i+ b' U/ N

65.删除to。 “unrelated to”为固定搭配,意为“与…无关”,其后须接名词;如果保留介词to,根据语义此处需添加名词性词组each other,这与命题规律不符,故将to去掉。unrelated意为“无关的,不相关的”。 |
