2011年英语专八改错突击练习题汇总

The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammar are for

the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. A rough

and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical __1__

words have “less meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them __2__

“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this is a rather __3__

misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like the is not the name __4__

of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a __5__

sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile” and “the man is vile”, yet the

is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words __6__

differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in __7__

the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been “little words.”

But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words.” __8__

of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. __9__

Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say:

we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This is __10__

illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams

and newspaper headlines.

参考答案及解析:

1 删掉the

此处的most并不表示obvious的最高级,而是用作副词修饰obvious,表示程度很高,因此前面不能加the。 2 将but改为and

根据文章的意思,这里要用并列关系的and。 3 将in改为to

as apposed to 是固定搭配,意思是“与……相比”。 4 将misled改为misleading 5删掉away

此处考查固定用法。 far from being...意思为“远非”“远远不怎么样”,符合这里的意思。而far away from 表示离某处很远。 6 将single改为only或者sole

这里要表达“唯一的”。 7 在as后面加to或者将as 改为in

联系上下文,此处的意思是“grammatical words 本身在某某方面也有相当的差异,”as to 有“关于”或者“在某某方面的意思”;将as改为in,用differ from something in…也可表达这个意思。 8 将mean改为means 9 将as改为like,或者在as前面加such 10 将number改为deal或者amount

obscurity是不可数名词,不能用a number of 来修饰
