参考答案
1.working→work。
此句总体上讲述的是这些小家庭独立的掠影,而后半句解释到这些小家庭的成员生活在一起、工作在一起的情景,应该用一般现在时,和live保持一致。
2.are→were。
3.are→were。
4.allow前加be。
“beallowedtodosth.”是“被允许作……”的意思。
5.offered前加be。
“offer”是及物动词,后面应该接双宾语结构,即“offersb.sth.”而在该句中缺少成分而只有宾语补主语,应该将其改为被动语态,即“beofferedsth.”
6.offered→offers。
7.taken前加have。
8.plan→planned。
9.kept→keep。
10.carry→carrying。
易混淆词的使用错误

参考答案
1.comparative→comparable。
当仅仅表达“比较的,比较性的”意思,而没有涉及到具体的比较时,应该用第一个词,但是当设计到具体的两者之间的比较时,则应该使用comparable。
此句属于第二种情况。
2.effects→affects。
“effect”当作为动词使用时,表示“产生,引起,实现”的意思,作为名词时才是“影响,效果”,显然不符合,应该使用affect,意思是“影响”。
3.big→high。
4.unimaginative→unimaginable。
该句中所要表达的是“难以想象的”,而unimaginative是“没有想像力的”意思,不符合句意。
5.nineteen→nineteenth。
6.high→highly。
7.remain→leave。
8.risen→raised。
9.mean→means。
10.international→national。
表示“国防”的意思时应该使用nationaldefense。
非谓语动词使用错误

主谓语前后不一致

10Whatwasannouncedontheradiohavecaused 10.__________

参考答案
1.Call→Calling/Tocall。
本句主语是一个动词短语,但是动词短语做主语时,其中的动词只能用作动名词或不定式的形式,因而把Call改成Calling或Tocall。
2.not∧,to。
该句中后半部分实际上和“tomakeiteasier”同为表语成分,结构相同,为和前面保持一致,此处也应该使用不定式结构。
3.删去being。
只有当句中出现表示现在的时间状语时,才会用现在分词的被动式来做定于修饰名词,而原句中未出现表示现在时的时间状语成分,故应该将being删去。
4.depend→depending。
英语里,一个句子不能在没有任何连接手段的情况下,同时使用两个并列的谓语动词,所以错在depend,应改为现在分词depending形式。
5.Guiding→Guided。
该句中,过去分词做原因状语,相当于原因状语从句Becausehewasguided,意为“因为受……引导”。
6.are→is。
该句中,主语成分为“Thechild”,所以谓语应该使用单数形式。
7.is→are。
该句为一个倒装句,真正的主语成分是“3groupsofyoungpioneers”,故谓语动词应该使用复数形式。
8.were→was。
该句中,定语从句引导词“that”指代前文中的“Thebook”故该从句中的谓语应该为单数形式。
9.are→is。
在“there+be+doing”结构中,谓语动词使用单数形式。
10.have→has。
名词性从句做主语谓语动词一般做单数对待。

参考答案
1.将so改为转折性连词but。
虽然前句说电视节目质量遭到批评,并且还有令人讨厌的广告,但是接下来是说对孤寡老人的益处,因此此处表达转折的意思。
2.将but改为so。
文章并没有表达转折的意思,因为经理收到了许多关于电梯服务的投诉,所以他才做出后面的措施,因此此处应该是因果关系。
3.将unaware改为aware。
根据后文说这样的人从来
