大学英语六级：短文改错(七)

会计考友

本期重点：名词
名词方面主要考查的是名词的单复数形式（例1、4）。此时要注意的是一些词加s后意思就有可能改变，例如：paper（纸）papers（试卷）、safe（安全的）safes（保险箱）、glass（玻璃）glasses（眼镜）、wood（木材）woods（树林）、work（工作）works（作品）等。还有一些特殊的复合名词也要注意，例如father-in-law 改成复数形式是fathers-in-law。

例1：Operating within Seattle, which has 20 percents racial S2__________
minorities, the paper has put into place policies.
解析：在表达“百分之几”时，只需用基数词加上单数percent即可。

. ?" n# m8 w7 C# c, E4 p, {0 Qaudit (审查) that evaluates the frequency and manner of  
representation of woman and people of color in photographs S7._________
解析：不定冠词a(n)或定冠词the加上单数个体名词可以指一类事物，若不用冠词，则名词须为复数。此处woman与people并列作为of 的宾语，由于people是集体名词，单数形式表复数意义，从平衡角度出发，应该将woman改为women。
. H5 u! p) x' c+ C* x3 A8 w例3：Words came that the missing boy had been found. 1.__________
' L+ L5 o+ b6 n# p& `+ k解析:word为当可数名词时，意思为“（某人所说的）话”，当其为不可数名词时，意思为“消息”。根据句意，本题中word应改为“消息”的意思，所以应该把Words改为Word。
例4：They spent over a million year evolving as co-operative hunters. S5.__________
, b$ ]) c$ L- L3 ]5 \0 w3 |解析：year是可数名词，而且前面又有a million 修饰，所以要用复数。

参考答案及解析：
% r9 A; g* e2 i  M6 d+ `: i巩固与拓展
1．experiences -> experience
* O$ Y& e' b3 u2 O$ G8 \, O当experience为可数名词时，意思是“经历”，当为不可数名词时，意思为“经验”。根据句子的意思，应该是“教学经验”。
$ v1 W# W* h, X0 X7 t$ ~1 m. H1 J; \2．woman -> women
, B: ^2 V* b# ^. Z$ P" |由man、woman、lord构成的复合名词应前后两个词都变为复数形式。
- S% ?$ U- z; D3．phenomena -> phenomenon 或this -> these
1 Z# g8 Y& v: C1 M: Yphenomena是phenomenon 的复数形式。前面有this修饰，应该用单数。
4．voice -> noise
voice意思是“（人的）声音”，而noise指的是噪声。
5．object -> objects  
5 J& }* I7 k1 R4 S: g" z- V8 c' ~: |
综合练习
1．smoke -> smoking
smoke作名词时意为“烟雾”，作动词时意为“吸烟”。此处指吸烟和肺部疾病的关系
故使用smoking。
2．and -> / 或and -> then
* w! U4 V8 m7 X9 Land是并列连词，连接两个对称的分句。但此处前面是条件状语从句，不对称，故应该去掉and或将and改为 then，使后面变成主句
3．with -> of
- `3 Q/ Z5 r4 x; Iaccuse sb of sth 意为“为….而控告或谴责某人”，不能使用介词with
4 p) H) x' k# z' G4．a -> /
) q$ K- ?' P  q% r6 e4 k. P4 s$ P& L此处显然不是“在一家好公司”( in a good company)的意思，而是说“有人和你作伴”(in good company)。此处的company意为“陪伴”，抽象名词，前面不用冠祠。
5．not -> /
逻辑错误
0 d' N2 j* f" x4 U6．that -> why
, \  A+ M& W. h5 A" ?此处的意思是要找到“为什么官方对医学发现应冷淡”。
7．simple -> simply
) _- I3 J% Y2 S  D6 L# B这里的句意是“答案仅仅是钱”，故使用副词simply。simple的意思是“简单”。
  A/ g5 j, D! F# t6 I' K8．lonely -> alone
lonely意为“孤独”的，alone意为“单独，一个”，此处意为“单税收一项”，故用alone
5 u, X: n! e" d& w) I4 H) ^9．collect -> collects
0 @% F; u1 z8 }8 T, b本句的主语是the government of Britain ，是单数，所以谓语collect也要用单数。
10．harmful前加be
本句的conceivably 是插入语，如果不看它的话，就很容易看出这个句子缺少了系动词be。
