　　專八語言知識練習題一

It is hardly necessary for me to cite all the evidences of the depressing ____(1)____state of literacy. These sums from the Department of Education are ____(2)____sufficient: 27 million Americans cannot read at all, a further 35 million read on a level that is less than sufficient to survive in our society. (3) But my own worry today is more that of the overwhelming problem of____ (4)____elemental literacy than it is of the slightly more luxurious problem of the decline in the skill even of the middle-class reader, of his unwillingness to afford those spaces of silence, those luxuries of domesticity and time and concentrating,____ (5)____that surrounds the image of the classic act of reading. It has been suggested____ (6)____that almost 80 percent of America's literate, educated teenagers can no longer read with accompanying noise (music) in the background or a television screen flickered at the corner of their field of perception. We know____ (7)____very little about the brain and how it dealt with simultaneous conflicting ____(8)____input, but every common-sense intuition suggests we should be profoundly alarmed. This violation of concentration, silence, solitude goes to the very heart of our notion of literacy; this new form of part— reading, of partperception against background distraction, enders impossibly certain____ (9)____essential acts of apprehension and concentration, leave alone that most important tribute any human being can pay on a poem or a piece of prose he or ____(10)____she really loves, which is to learn it by heart. Not by brain, by heart; the expression is vital.

　答案和解析:

1. evidences—evidence. evidence 為不可數名詞，不能使用復

數形式。

2. sums—改成figures。sums 表示“總和”，但後面列舉了一些具體數字，與總和並無多大關係。因此sums應改為figures。figures意即“數字”。

3. on—at。表示“在„„水平上”時，level 前須用介詞at。

4. more—less。more A than B意即“與其説B，倒不如説A”而less A than B則表示與其説A，倒不如説B”。根據上下文，此處more應改為less。

5. concentrating—concentration。 and前後成分應對等，由於and前面是名詞，其後面也應該用名詞。因此concentrating應改為concentration。

6. that—which。這兒which用來指代前面的整個句子。

7. flickered—flickering，flicker為不及物動詞，不宜使用過去分詞形式作定語，故用現在分詞形式作定語。

8. dealt—deals。該文章主要採用一般現在時，因此dealt應改為得deals。

9. impossibly —impossible。render sth + adj為一常用結構，表示“使„„如何”。如果其中賓語太長，可將其後置。顯然impossibly 應改為impossible

—to。pay tribute to sb/sth，系常用短語，意即“稱讚某人⁄某物”。故on應改為to。

　　專八語言知識練習題二

About half of the infant and maternal deaths in developing countries could be avoided if women had used family planning methods to prevent high risk ____1____pregnancies, according to a report publishing recently by the Johns Hopking University. ____2____

The report indicates that 5.6 million infant deaths and 2,000,000 maternal Deaths could be prevented this year if women chose to have theirs children ____3____within the safest years with adequate intervals among births and limited their ____4____ families to moderate size.

pregnancy; pregnancies before the mother is 18 year old; those after the ____9____mother is 35 years old; pregnancies after four births; and those lesser than two years apart.____10____

　　答案詳解

1. 將 had used 改為 used。

因為此句是虛擬語氣,表示與現在事實相反,故條件從句中應使用一般過去時。例如:

Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise. 許多人原本會成為聰明人-如果他們不自以為聰明的話。

2. 將 publishing 改為 published

report和publish時邏輯動賓關係,故應使用publish的過去分詞短語來修飾report。例如:

Any discovery that we may make, however small, will remain acquired knowledge. 任何可能的發現,不管多麼微不足道,都將成為知識寶庫中的一部分。

3. 將 theirs 改為 their

4. 將 among 改為 between

在兩次懷孕期間留出足夠的間隔時間,故用between。

5. 將過去分詞 excluded 改為介詞 excluding excluding意為“不包括……”

6. 將 respectably 改為 respectively

respectively 意為 “分別地 ”，符合句子的意思。而respectably意為“可敬的，值得尊敬地 ”。

7. 將 evidences 改為 evidence。evidence是不可數名詞。

8. 將ill改為illness

9. 將 year 改為 years

10. 將 lesser 改為 less
