專業(yè)八級(jí)考試改錯(cuò)突擊練習(xí)題：

Cities can be frightened places. The majority of the population live in noisy massive tower blocks. __1__

The sense of belonging to a community tends to appear when you live thirty floors up in a skyscraper. __2__

Strange enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, __3__

nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks even say hello to each other. __4__

Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally keep the inhabitants of a small village together. __5__

People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help.

So country life has disadvantages too. For example, shopping becomes a major problem and __6__for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go for an expedition to the nearest large town. __7__

The country has the　advantage of peaceful and quiet, but suffers from the is advantages of being cut off. __8__

The city has noise and population which do harm to human health. But one of　their main advantages is that __9__ you are at the centre of things and that life doesn’t come to an end even at ten at night. Some people have found a compromise be-tween the two: they expressed their preference for the　quiet life by leaving for the city and moving to the __10__country within commuting distance of the large city.

答案：

1.把frightened改為frightening。frightened是“受到驚嚇的”，表明心理狀態(tài)，而frightening表示“令人害怕的”，表示事物性質(zhì)。

2.把a(bǔ)ppear改為disappear。“當(dāng)你住在摩天大廈的三十層里”，可以推測(cè)這里要表達(dá)的是歸屬感的消失，而不是產(chǎn)生歸屬感。

3.把Strange改為Strangely。Strangely enough，是固定短語，經(jīng)常用作插入語，意思是“說也奇怪，最奇怪的是”。

4.在say前面加上don’t。此處說的是，現(xiàn)在住在同一層樓的人甚至見面都不打招呼。

5.把keep改為keeps。in that 引導(dǎo)的句子主語應(yīng)該是 a sense，故謂語應(yīng)為單數(shù)。本句的意思是，農(nóng)村生活與這種隔絕孤立的生活不同，因?yàn)橐环N歸屬感把小村里的居民聯(lián)系在一起。

6.把so 改為but/yet。上文提到了鄉(xiāng)村生活的好處，下文是轉(zhuǎn)折，要用but或者yet。

7.把for改為on?！叭ミh(yuǎn)征”應(yīng)該用go on a expedition，而go for 的意思是“去找，努力獲取，擁護(hù)”。

8.把peaceful改為peace。of 后面不應(yīng)該用形容詞，所以應(yīng)該改為peace。這里需要注意的是quiet既是名詞又是形容詞，不要被迷惑。

9.把their改為its。此處的代詞應(yīng)該指代上文的 the city。

10.刪除leaving后面的for，或者把for改為from。leave表示“離開某地”，而leave for表示“離開某地去另外一個(gè)地方”，for后面接的是目的地。本句說的是離開城市，搬到鄉(xiāng)村，所以for是多余的。
