英语专业八级改错练习题及答案解析
Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately
have political and economical causes: it is not due simply to the bad
influence of this or that individual writers. But an effect can become
a cause, reinforce the original cause and producing the same effect
in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take drink
because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the most
completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is
happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate
because our thoughts are foolish, but the sloven of our language
makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the
process is irreversible. Modern English, especially written English,
is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be
avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets
rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and think clearly is a
necessary first step towards political regeneration: so that the fight
against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concerning
of professional writers. I will come back to this present, and I hope
that by that time the meaning of what I have said here will have become
clearer.
答案及解析:
1.economical－economic
economical的意思是“节约的，经济的，省钱的`”，而此处应选择economic表示“经济的，有关经济的”。
2.writers－writer
this or that后面应接单数名词，因为从意思上来看应是二选一的，所以是单数。
3.reinforce－reinforcing
“an effect can become a cause”和“reinforce the original cause”两个分句并不是并列的关系，应该说是主句和从句的关系，应该将reinforce变为-ing形式，这也与后面的“producing the same effect”保持形式上的一致。
4.take^－to
take to 表示“养成习惯，沉湎于”。
5.most－more
all the more 表示“更加”，如：
The living room is decorated in pale colors which make it all he more airy.
6.sloven－slovenliness
sloven作名词表示“懒散的人，散漫的人”，这里显然语义不对，所以应改为slovenliness表示“懒散，邋遢”。
7.irreversible－reversible
reversible（可逆的），irreversible（不可逆的）
如上文所述，语言和思维的关系是相互影响的；由于我们思想的愚蠢，我们的语言变得丑陋，不准确；同时我们的语言的不精确也使我们的思维变得更加愚蠢。所以这个过程是能倒退的。
8.^think－to
动词原形本身无法作主语，必须将它变成-ing形式或不定式，由于这里有将要发生的含义，所以选用不定式 to think。
9.concerning－concern
concern本身既可以做动词也可以作名次。
10.present－presently
presently表示“不久，一会儿”。present在这里讲不通。

英语专业八级改错练习题及解析
You will think about what kind of saving instru- __1__ ment to use or what kind of investment to make.
By putting your money in some kind of savings instrument or investment, you can set aside small amount of mon- __2__ ey regularly and the money will earn interest or dividends.
Interest refers to the amount what your money__3__ earns when it is kept in a savings instrument.
Divi- dends are payments of part of a company’s earnings to people hold stock in the company. A savings instru- __4__ ment has an “interest rate ” associated with it; this refers to the rate which the money in the instrument in- __5__ creases during a certain period of time.
Principal refers to the facial value or the amount of money you __6__ place in the savings instrument on which the interest is earned.
Every type of savings or investment has some risk that the return will be less than needed or expected.
Federally insured savings accounts are safe and guaranteed up to $100,000 by the U.S. Government.
Therefore, they may have lower interest rates, making __7__ it hard to save large amounts of money for college. __8__
Bonds and stocks often have higher returns than savings accounts or EE saving bonds but are more riskier. __9__
You can reduce the risks of these kinds of investments by starting to save early. The earlier we begin the less __10__ money you will have to put aside each month and the more total savings you will accumulate.
参考答案及解析：
1.把saving改为savings
saving表示“节约的”，和其复数形式savings意义不同。savings的意思是“存款，储蓄”。
2.在small前面加上a
a small amount of 表示“少量的”，冠词不可缺。
3.把what改为which或者that
amount在此是先行词，后面是一个定语从句，这个从句显然应该由关系代词that或者which引导。
4.在hold前面加who
先行词people后面是一个定语从句，因此需要有引导词。
5.在which前面加上at
关系代词which在此引导的同样是一个定语从句，并且在此应该用“介词+关系代词”这个形式，因为前面的rate往往用于短语at a rate，此处的介词可以提前。
6.把facial改为face
票面价值应是：face value。
7.把Therefore改为However。
此处根据上下文来看，表达的是转折的含义，而不是因果关系。
8.把hard改为harder
这里存在一个隐含的.比较，所以应该用hard的比较级形式。
9.删除more，或者把more改为much
riskier本身已经是比较形式了，再加上more是多余的。把more改为much，表示一种程度也可以。
10.把we改为you
补充：
第二题将amount改为amounts也是正确的
第四题把hold改为holding也是正确的
a small amount of 和small amounts of 用法的区别：
a large(great，good)amount of +不可数名词，谓语动词一般用单数;但(large，great，good)amounts of + 不可数名词，作主语时，谓语动词要用复数。
A large amount of damage done by the earth quake.
Large amounts of money spent on the bridge.
这就是为什么第二题也可以把amount改为amounts而第八题不用改amount的原因啦。
