　　英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)四級(jí)、英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)八級(jí)考試改錯(cuò)習(xí)題

　　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 “l(fā)ess 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 “l(fā)ittle 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。

　　參考答案及解析：

　　1 刪掉the

　　此處的most并不表示obvious的最高級(jí)，而是用作副詞修飾obvious，表示程度很高，因此前面不能加the。 2 將but改為and

　　根據(jù)文章的意思，這里要用并列關(guān)系的and。 3 將in改為to

　　as apposed to 是固定搭配，意思是“與……相比”。 4 將misled改為misleading 5刪掉away

　　此處考查固定用法。 far from being.。。意思為“遠(yuǎn)非”“遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不怎么樣”，符合這里的意思。而far away from 表示離某處很遠(yuǎn)。 6 將single改為only或者sole

　　這里要表達(dá)“唯一的”。 7 在as后面加to或者將as 改為in

　　聯(lián)系上下文，此處的意思是“grammatical words 本身在某某方面也有相當(dāng)?shù)牟町悾�”as to 有“關(guān)于”或者“在某某方面的意思”；將as改為in，用differ from something in…也可表達(dá)這個(gè)意思。 8 將mean改為means 9 將as改為like，或者在as前面加such 10 將number改為deal或者amount

　　obscurity是不可數(shù)名詞，不能用a number of 來(lái)修飾
