2007年12月英語(yǔ)六級(jí)考試短文改錯(cuò)沖刺訓(xùn)練(10)

　　本期重點(diǎn)：易混詞

　　易混詞主要考查近義詞混用和形近詞混淆。英語(yǔ)詞匯中有很多詞在拼寫上、語(yǔ)義上很相似，如assure / ensure,　rise / arise /raise,　effect / affect, adopt / adapt，likely / probable，accept / receive，like / as，cost / spend等, 但是它們的用法卻迥然不同。這些易混淆的詞構(gòu)成六級(jí)改錯(cuò)的一個(gè)重要錯(cuò)誤類型。

　　考點(diǎn)例析：

　　例1： His persistence was awarded when the car finally started. ________

　　解析：句中“award”是“頒發(fā)，授予(獎(jiǎng)賞)”之義，而文中想要表達(dá)的意思是“汽車終于啟動(dòng)了，那就是對(duì)他堅(jiān)持不懈精神的回報(bào)�！睉�(yīng)把a(bǔ)ward改成reward。

　　例2：A diversity committee composed of reporters, editors, and

　　photographers meets regularly to value the Seattle Times’ S5.________

　　content and to educate the rest of the newsroom staff about

　　diversity issues.

　　解析：動(dòng)詞value有兩個(gè)含義：第一，to think that someone or something is important，比如I value our friendship。第二，to decide how much money something is worth，比如we decide to get this house valued。不論哪個(gè)含義，用于此都不適合。從文中可以推測(cè)這些人碰頭人是為了judge how good, useful, or successful the paper is，因此要用evaluate。

　　例3：Leprosy is caused by bacteria spread through liquid from the nose

　　and mouth. The disease mainly effects the skin and nerves. S4.________

　　解析：effect 作動(dòng)詞時(shí)意為“產(chǎn)生，招致(某種結(jié)果);實(shí)現(xiàn)，完成”，但此處需要表示“影響”，故將effects -> affects.

　　鞏固與拓展

　　1. His success result from part in his ability to sell the product and

　　in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economical __________

　　decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.

　　2. There is a train which leaves London at 5pm and
