These small households were _3_portraits of independence: the entire family- mother, father, children,even grandparents-live in a small house and working together to

7、 _4_support each other. Anyone understood the life-and-death importance _5_of family cooperation and hard work. Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, but the ideal of home ownership _6_is just as strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth.When U.S. soldi

We are more ignorant of sci

So if you ask _3_them to explain about the principles of physics that have gone into creating the _4

11、_computer, you dont have faintest idea. _5_The failure to understand science leads to such things like the neglect of human _6_creative power. It also takes rise to blurring of the distinction between _7_science and technology. Lots of people dont differ between the two. Science _8_new knowledge tha

12、t can be applied or not, and technology is the application of is the production of knowledge to the production of some products, machinery or the like. The two are really different, and people who have the faculty for one very seldom have a faculty for the others. _9_Science in itself is harmless, m

A black hole _4_exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only spaceor thus we think. How can this happen? _5_The theory is that some stars ex

16、plode when their density increasesto a particular point; they “collapse” and sometimes a supernova occurs.The collapse of a star may produce a “White Dwarf” of a “neutronstar”a star which matter is so dense that if continually shrinks by the force of _6_its own gravity. But if the star is very large

17、, this process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole results in. Imagine the earth reduced to the _7_size of a marble, but still having the same masses and a stronger _8_gravitational pull, and you have some ideas of the force of a black hole. _9_And no matter near the black hole is sucke

People in ancient times thought whales as fearsome _2_monsters of the ocean depths. So to hunt a whale, when one occasionally swam

19、 toward shore, he was high adventure. People _3_found the adventure was rewarding, too, for the oil and meat fromone whale alone could heat and feed a village for a whole winter.Whales resemble huge fish. They were referred by the ancients as _4_“great fish,” and any whale beaching along the coasts

Now the slaughter has reached alarming proportions. _6_Even though some

21、 species are protected by the regulations of the International Whaling Commission and theoretically all whalehunting is regulated, but the earths stock of whales is still being _7_depleted.

We live in a world of words. Hardly anymoment passes with someone talking, writing

23、or reading. Indeed, _1_languages is most essential to mankind. Our lives increasingly dependon fast and successful use of language. Strangely enough, we know _2_more about things around us than on ourselves. For example, language _3_is species specific, that is, it is language that differs human fro

24、m _4_animals. However, we do not know yet how exactly we inquire language _5_and how it is possible for us to perceive through language; nor we _6_understand precisely the combinations between language and thought, _7_language and logic, or language and culture; still less, how and when language sta

25、rted. One reason for this inadequate knowledge of languageis that we, like language users, take too many things for granted. _8_Language comes to every normal person so naturally that a few _9_of us stop to question what language is, much less do we feel the necessity to study it. Language is far mo

28、ere is nothing about their appearance to suggest thatthey 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 w

29、omen. 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

They quickly _1_brought down the age at marriage for both men and women and brought the birth rate to a twentieth century height after more _2_

31、 than a hundred years of a steady decline, producing the “baby _3_ boom.” These young adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large families that went for more than two decades _4_ and caused a major but temporary reversal of long-term demographic patterns. From the 1940s through

32、 the early 1960s, Americans married at a high rate and at a younger age than their European counterparts. _5_Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women who formed _6_families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the divorce rate after a _7_postwar peak; their marriages remained

33、 intact to a greater extent than did that of _8_couples who married in earlier as well as later decades.

Such people never _2_bump into other people. However, a second person thought that this was more a question of civilized behavior as g

36、ood manners. Instead, this other person told us a story, _3_it he said was quite well-known, about an American who had been invited _4_to an Arab meal at one of the countries of the Middle East. The American _5_hasnt been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had _6_known abou

37、t American food, he might have behaved better. _7_Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much as a napkin. Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that _8_it falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, _9_said of nothing, but immediatel

Some cities have lost theiroriginal purpose and have not f

39、ound new one. And any large or rich city is _1_going to attract poor immigrants, who flood in, filling with hopes of _2_prosperity which are then often disappointing. There are backward towns on theedge of Bombay or Brasilia, just as though there were on the edge of _3_seventeenth-century London or

40、early nineteenth-century Paris. This is new is _4_the scale. Descriptions written by eighteenth-century travelers of the poor ofMexico City, and the enormous contrasts that was to be found there, are very _5_dissimilar to descriptions of Mexico City todaythe poor can still be numbered _6_in millions

41、.The whole monstrous growth rests on economic prosperity, but behind it lies _7_ two myths; the myth of the city as a promised land, that attracts immigrants _8_from rural poverty and brings it flooding into city centers, and the myth of the _9_country as a Garden of Eden, which, a few generations l

The humor

43、lies in the fact _3_the caricature is recognizable, and yet exaggerated.From their origin in Europe as witty sketches, caricature grew through _4_the eighteenth and nineteenth century, becoming enormously popular in _5_ the United States early in this century. In 1920s and 1930s especially, this liv

They _1_would know that in very cold conditions it becomes a solid calledice and that when heating on a fire it becomes a

46、vapor called steam. _2_However, water, they would say, is a liquid. We have learned thatwater consists of molecules composed with two atoms of hydrogen _3_and one atom of oxygen, which we describe by the formula H2O.This is equally true of the solid called ice and the gas called steam.Chemically the

47、re is no difference between the gas, the liquid, andthe solid, all of which is made up of molecules with the formula H2O. _4_This is true of other chemical substances; most of them can exist asgases or as liquids or as solids. We may normally think of iron as asolid, but if we will heat it in a furn

48、ace, it will melt and become a _5_liquid, and at very high temperatures it will become a gas. Nothing very permanent occurs when a gas changes into a liquid or a solid.Everyone knows that ice, which has been made by freezing water, can be melted again by warmed and that steam can be condensed _6_on

49、a cold surface to become liquid water. In fact, it is only becausewater is so a familiar substance that different names are used for _7_the solid, liquid and gas. Most substances are only familiar with _8_us in one state, because the temperatures requiring to turn them _9_into gases are very high, o

50、r the temperatures necessary to turn theminto solids are so low. Water is an exception in this respect, which is another reason why its three states have given three different names. _10_英語(yǔ)專業(yè)八級(jí)改錯(cuò)練習(xí)題(十三)Classic Intention MovementIn social situations, the classic Intention Movement is “the chair-grasp

51、”. Host and guest have been talking for some time, butnow the host has an appointment to keep and can get away. His urge _1_to go is held in cheek by his desire not be rude to his guest. If he did _2_not care of his guests feelings he would simply get up out of his chair _3_and to announce his depar

52、ture. This is what his body wants to do, _4_therefore his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him _5_raise. It is at this point that he performs the chair-grasp Intention _6_Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leansforward and grasps the arms of t

53、he chair as about to push himself upwards. _7_This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not _8_hesitating, it would only last the fraction of the second. He would lean, _9_push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holds his “readiness-to-rise” post and

54、 keeps on holding it. It is as if his _10_body had frozen at the get-ready moment.（一）參照答案及解析:1 將had used 改為 used。由于此句是虛擬語(yǔ)調(diào)，表達(dá)與目前事實(shí)相反，故條件從句中應(yīng)使用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。例如：Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise. 許多人原本會(huì)成為聰穎人如果她們不自覺(jué)得聰穎的話。2 將publishing改為published;report和publish時(shí)邏輯動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故應(yīng)使用publish的過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)來(lái)修

55、飾report。例如：Any discovery that we may make, however small, will remain acquired knowledge. 任何也許的發(fā)現(xiàn)，不管多么微局限性道，都將成為知識(shí)寶庫(kù)中的一部分。3 將theirs改為their;4 將among改為between;在兩次懷孕期間留出足夠的間隔時(shí)間，故用between。5 將過(guò)去分詞excluded改為介詞excluding。excluding意為“不涉及”6 將respectably改為respectively;respectively 意為 “分別地 ”，符合句子的意思。而respectabl

56、y意為 “可敬的，值得尊敬地 ”。7將evidences改為evidence。evidence是不可數(shù)名詞。8將ill改為illness。9將year改為years。10將lesser改為less（二)參照答案及解析:1 將no改為 not2 將place改為land;place是可數(shù)名詞，作“地方”講，而land意為“土地，田地”是不可數(shù)名詞。例如：Solitude is a good place to visit but a poor place to stay.當(dāng)你偶爾光顧時(shí)，獨(dú)處是一種美妙的境地，但是如果久留，它卻是一種糟糕的地方。There is a vacant piece of

57、land near the house; we can build there.3 將started改為start;start應(yīng)使用不定式，以和前面的find，build一致。4 將working改為work。work應(yīng)當(dāng)用第三人稱復(fù)數(shù)，和live一致。此外，family在這里作“家人”講，是復(fù)數(shù)。5 將anyone改為everyone;這里是要用everyone指每個(gè)人，而不是要用anyone泛指。6 將but刪除7將before改為after;根據(jù)上下文判斷，這里要體現(xiàn)的是二戰(zhàn)之后。8 將But改為 And;根據(jù)語(yǔ)意，這里要體現(xiàn)的是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，而不是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。例如：When I do goo

58、d, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. And thats my religion.當(dāng)我行善事，我感到坦然；當(dāng)我行惡時(shí)，我感到內(nèi)疚。這就是我的人生之道。9 將it改為they10 在house the中間加入介詞as;regardas 作“把當(dāng)作”講。（三)參照答案及解析:1.在which前加in，或?qū)hich改為where;在這里which引導(dǎo)限制性從句，修飾先行詞the society。in which 在從句中作狀語(yǔ)，固然也可以用關(guān)系副詞where引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，并在從句中作狀語(yǔ)，例如： Money is a bottomless sea,

59、in which honor, conscience, and truth may be drowned.2.將as 改為than3.將So改為But或者However或者Nevertheless。由于這里上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。4.將about去掉;由于explain是及物動(dòng)詞。5.將you改為they6.將like改為as;由于such as 是固定搭配。7.將takes改為gives;give rise to表達(dá)“引起，導(dǎo)致”之意。8.將differ改為 distinguish;牽著表達(dá)“有區(qū)別”。后者表達(dá)“辨別，找出的差別。9.將others改為other;這樣the other就和上文的o

60、ne構(gòu)成固定搭配，表達(dá)在兩個(gè)中“一種；此外一種”10.將harmful改為harmless，只有這樣才可以體現(xiàn)上下文的對(duì)比關(guān)系。(四)參照答案及解析:supernova 名詞，天超新星1. 將as 改為since或者because。在表達(dá)因素的連接詞中，只有as引導(dǎo)的因素狀語(yǔ)從句不能位于主句之后，只能位于句首。2 .將adequate 改為inadequate，或者在are后加not。從邏輯上分析，由于我們擁有的科學(xué)術(shù)語(yǔ)“不充足”，因此才無(wú)法回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題，因此用否認(rèn)形式。3. 在which 前加into。這是一種定語(yǔ)從句，意思是“黑洞是太空中物質(zhì)可以掉進(jìn)去的地方”，因此定語(yǔ)從句應(yīng)當(dāng)為“into
