15、ed at the end of the line. (2)For a missing word, mark the position of the missing word with a “ “ sign and write t 【知识模块】 改错 1 【正确答案】 Since So 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。文中介绍， Joan希望自己能够改头换面，变得漂亮，所以去做拉皮和吸脂手术。可见是前因后果，结果状语从句应该由 so来引导。 【知识模块】 改错 2 【正确答案】 recognize realize 【试题解析】 本 题为动词误用。 recognize表示 “认出、认识 ”， re

16、alize表示 “意识到 ”，本句中指 Joan没有意识到那个医生只是耳鼻喉科的，不是正规的整形外科医生，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 3 【正确答案】 more less 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据下文提到，经过手术， Joan满脸伤疤，肚子上都是褶皱，适得其反。 【知识模块】 改错 4 【正确答案】 really real 【试题解析】 本题为副词误用。用来作名词词组外科整形手术 plastic surgeon的前置定语，应该使用形容词。 【知识模块】 改错 5 【正确答案】 was be 【试题解析】 本题为虚拟语气误用。 ask表示 “请求、要求 ”，由它所引导的 that从

17、句中必须使朋虚拟语气，而助动词 should可以省略。 【知识模块】 改错 6 【正确答案】 a(M B A )一 an 【试题解析】 本题为冠词误用。 M B， A的首字母 m虽然本身是辅音字母，但是它的发音以元音开头，应该用不定冠词 an搭配。 【知识模块】 改错 7 【正确答案】 regarding regardless 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。 regarding表示 “有关、关于 ”， regardless of表示“不管、不顾 ”，根据句子的意思，现在的医生不管原先学的什么专业，都做起了外科整形手术，故用后者更贴切。 【知识模块】 改错 8 【正确答案】 is are 【试题

18、解析】 本题为主谓一致错误。本句的主语是 doctors，为名词复数形式，谓语动词也相应使用复数形式。 【知识模块】 改错 9 【正确答案】 deal number 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。 deal只能和不可数名词搭配使用， number可以和可数名词搭配使用。本句中 patients是可数名词的复数形式，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 10 【正确答案】 this these 【试题解析】 本题为代词误用。 practitioners是可数名词的复数形式，需用表示复数的形容词作前置定语，故用 these更合适。 【知识模块】 改错 【知识模块】 改错 11 【正确答案】 plaste

19、r plastered 【试题解析】 本 题为非谓语动词错误。 plaster作动词表示 “抹灰泥 ”。主句谓语动词是 were building句子中不能出现两个动词。此处表示抹了灰泥的砖头，plaster用在 brick之后必须用分词形式作后置定语。 【知识模块】 改错 12 【正确答案】 room rooms 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。 room此处表示 “储藏室 ”，为可数名词，必须用a room或 rooms，不能使用零冠词。考虑上下文，此处用复数较合适。 【知识模块】 改错 13 【正确答案】 of against 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。此处可见原文意为防范敌人，惯用搭

20、配为defence against sth； in defense of sth表示 “保卫、保护 ”，如 soldiers who died in defence of their country。 【知识模块】 改错 14 【正确答案】 should must 【试题解析】 本题为情态动词误用。 should have done表示应该去做而没做的事，此处根据上下文可见 “西班牙人已经将这样的建筑群称之为小镇 ”，因此西班牙人势必已 经意识到这一点，不可能用 should have done，应该用肯定的推测。 【知识模块】 改错 15 【正确答案】 which what 【试题解析】 本

21、题为从句误用。 raise后面缺少名词，即缺少先行词，应当使用what，相当于 n +that which。 【知识模块】 改错 16 【正确答案】 are / 【试题解析】 本题为赘词。两个完整的句子不能用逗号连接，因此 some引导的这句话只能转化为独立结构，独直结构中谓语动词往往用分词，但此句中是 be动词，可以直接省略 ，如： She has two brothers， one a lawyer and the other a policeman。 【知识模块】 改错 17 【正确答案】 by through 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。 “through”表示 “以；通过；经由 ”

22、。是通过某种途径，如： He bought the antique vase through a dealer； he became rich through hard work “by”是通过某种方法，表示以一般的方法或方式，往往接零冠 词名词，如： No one in those days could live by writing poems How did you send the letter， by airmail or by ordinary mail?此处文中表示经由灌溉水渠运水，故用through。 【知识模块】 改错 18 【正确答案】 more(settled)一 les

23、s 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。从下文 “wandered the dry and mountainous lands”可以看出这些部落在各个 地区迁徙，相比较上文的群居部落应该是 less settled。 【知识模块】 改错 19 【正确答案】 off一 /或 off on 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。 wander可以作及物动词或不及物动词， wander off表示 “离开 ”，根据文意应该是在这片土地上游牧，应采用介词 on或直接作及物动词。 【知识模块】 改错 20 【正确答案】 fished 一 for 【试题解析】 本题为缺词错误。 fish作及物动词时后面跟的名词表示某块水域，如： They fished the loch for salmon表示捕鱼时往往用作不及物动词，与介词for连用。如： You can fish for trout in this stream 【知识模块】 改错
