29、hem with keyboards and mice or sell them as $100 stand-alone units that you can put into your computer. 10 （分数：25.00）解析：secureinsecure解析 语义错误。文章第一句提到“比尔盖茨不喜欢记一些用于取钱和上网的密码”，下文讲到“比尔盖茨认为密码是脆弱的链条”，可见他认为密码是不安全的，因此使用insecure。解析：railedagainst/at解析 介词缺失。rail当“批评，攻击”讲时是不及物动词，需要跟介词against或者at才能接宾语。解析：areis解析

30、主谓不一致。主语是One of his proposed solutions，这种情况下要根据one来决定谓语的单复数，因此需要使用单数is。解析：identificationidentity解析 名词误用。identification是identify的抽象名词形式，表示“辨认，鉴定，证明”，而identity则是具体名词，表示“身份”，这里是指“通过测定某些独一无二的特征如指纹和虹膜来辨别人的身份”，因此需要使用。identity。解析：about about 解析 副词冗余。a dozen or so与the dozen or so均为固定搭配，意为“大约十几个”，about意为“大约”

31、与之语义重复，应去掉。解析：inby解析 介词误用。通过身体的某个部位进行辨别需要使用介词by。解析：onup解析 固定搭配中的介词误用。line up表示“排队”，不能使用on。解析：analyzedanalyzing解析 非谓语动词误用。此处analyze和前面的taking以及breaking一起作by的宾语，因此使用动名词形式。解析：chanceschance解析 名词单复数错误。chance前面的数词是one-in-10，表示十分之一，因此应该用单数形式chance。解析：putplug解析 动词误用。这里是说“把这个组件铜鼓插槽连接到计算机上”，而不是放进计算机里面，因此使用pl

32、ug。Contrary to what many people think, depression is not a normal part of growing older. Or is it harder to treat in older people. 11 But it is often harder to recognize and harder to get patients accept 12 and continue with treatment.

34、epression in older people.

Listen carefully, empathize a

Brown explains that any activity the person is able to do can help to prevent depression and silly ideas of killing oneself.（分数：25.00）解析：OrNor解析 连词误用。本句使

38、用的是倒装句型，而or放在句首时，句子不倒装，只有表示否定的连词nor，neither等放在句首时句子才倒装，并且根据第一句“恰与人们的常识相反，抑郁症并不随着人们年龄的增长而加重”，可以判断本句的含义是“老年人的抑郁症也不难治愈”，因此可以判断应该使用Nor。解析：acceptto解析 动词不定式符号to的缺失。get sb. to do sth. 表示“让某人做某事”，其中的动词不定式符号to不能省略。解析：HenceBut解析 衔接错误。前句说“很多人认为悲伤是抑郁的标志”，接着布鲁斯说“实际上老年患者则表现为缺乏幸福感他们不能享受生活。他们焦躁不安并且脾气暴躁。”由此可见两句话之间是转

39、折关系，而不是顺承关系，所以使用But。解析：desperatedespair解析 词性混用。desperate和despair都表示“绝望”，但是desperate是形容词，不能直接作谓语，而despair是动词。解析：abilitydisability解析 语义错误。本句说“如果这些人有身体残疾或者严重疾病的话，人们就更难意识到这些老年人的抑郁症了。”a functional disability表示“残疾”。解析：takeit解析 It句型错误。本句中take的宾语是后面的宾语从句“when an older person says.”，seriously是补语，因此需要it作形式宾语。

40、解析：liveliving解析 固定搭配错误。be worth doing sth. 表示“值得做什么”，必须使用动词-ing形式。解析：fewfewer解析 形容词比较级错误。此处说“老年人患抑郁症的症状要比年轻患者少”，并且有明显的比较连词than，因此应该使用比较级。解析：structuredstructure解析 虚拟语气错误。表示“建议”的动词如suggest，recommend等后面接宾语从句时需要使用虚拟语气，从句谓语部分用should+动词原形，should可以省略。解析：on on 解析 介词冗余。此处句子意思为“到咖啡店里消磨时间”，应该使用hang out“消磨时间”。M

41、any animal and even plant species communicate with each other. Humans are not unique in this capability. Therefore, human 21 language is unique in being a symbol communication system that is 22 learned instead of biologically inherited. A word is one and more sounds that in combination with a specia

42、l meaning assigned by a language. The symbolic meaning of 23 words can be so powerful that people are willing to risk their lives for them or take the lives of others.

46、 a speech community that is merely socially isolated, it is called a social dialect which is mostly based on class, gender, age, and particular social situations.（分数：25.00）解析：ThereforeHowever解析 衔接副词误用。上文提到“交流并不是人类独有的能力”，下文则说“人类语言作为一种只能被习得而非遗传的符号化沟通系统是独一无二的”。可见两句话之间应该是转折关系，故将Therefore改成However。解析：sym

47、bolsymbolic解析 词性混用。symbol表示“符号”，是名词。句中被修饰的是名词短语communication system，应该使用形容词symbolic“符号的”。句意为“人类语言作为一种只能被习得而非遗传的符号化沟通系统是独一无二的。”解析：specialspecific解析 形近词误用。special表示“特殊的”，而specific表示“特定的”，一个单词对应的应是一个特定的意思，故应使用specific。解析：is is 解析 be动词冗余。此句主干为A major advantage of human language is that.，being a learned symbolic communication system为非谓语动词结构作后置定语，修饰human language，故应把being前面的is去掉。句意为“人类语言作为一种符号化的沟通系统，其最大的优势在于它的无限灵活性。”解析：createcreated解析 语态错误。new symbols与create之间是动宾关系，故应使用被动语态。为了避免重复，省略了谓语can be，应将create改为created。句意为“人们可以改变单词的意思，也可以创造新的符号。”解析：whichthat解析 从句引导词误用。此处fact
