英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析

改错题出现的错误经常包括：

语法；词汇；语篇

1.语法包括英语的时态，语态，倒装句，虚拟语气，主，谓，宾在数，格，人称上的一致。

2.词汇方面，短文改错在用词上的错误主要集中在以下几个方面：

名次单复数，可数名词和不可数名词的差异，形容词与副词，连词与介词的误用，同义词的混淆等。

3.语篇的改错旨在测试做题者在具体语境上下文中使用语法和词汇的能力。

从逻辑的意义上看，句与句之间的关系可以分为顺序，并列，时间，空间，层递，对比，转折，解释，因果，过渡，推论等。

最好的做法是先通读全文，结合上下文的逻辑关系回答问题。

Whenever you see an old film, even one made as little as 

ten years before, you can’t help being strucked by the __1__

appearance of the women taking part. Their hair styles and

make-up look date; their skirts look either too long or too __2__

short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicrous.

The men taking part, on other hand, are clearly recognizable. __3__

There is nothing about their appearance to suggest that

they belong to an entire different age. This illusion is created __4__

by changing fashions. Over the years, the great minority of men __5__

have successfully resisted all attempts to make it change their __6__

style of dress. The same cannot be said for women. Each year, 

a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down __7__

on the law and women around the world run to obey. The __8__

decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial.

Sometime they decide arbitrarily, that skirts will be short and __9__

waists will be height; hips are in and buttons are out. __10__

Demographic indicators show that Americans in the post war period were more

eager than ever to establish families. They quickly brought down the age at marriage

for both men and women and brought the birth rate to a twentieth century height __1_

after more than a hundred years of a steady decline, producing the “baby boom.” __2_

These young adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large

families that went for more than two decades and caused a major but temporary __3__

reversal of long-term demographic patterns. From the 1940s through the ea
