13、on of the missing word with a “ “ sign and write t 【知识模块】 改错 1 【正确答案】 national international 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据下文强调各国文化不同，另有提示“international manager”以及跨国企业的例举，都可以推测到这篇文章的中心应该是 international culture。 【知识模块】 改错 2 【正确答案】 with of 【试题解析】 本题为形容词与介词搭配错误。此处为固定词组 characteristic of“具有 特色的 ”。 【知识模块】 改错 3 【正确答案】

14、 varieties variables 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。 variety作为可数名词表示 “品种、种类；变种 ”，而文中强调语言等因素的不同、变化，与 dynamic搭配的应当是variables“变量、变化因素 ”，表示这一行为习得体系是由一系列的变量组成。 【知识模块】 改错 4 【正确答案】 by through 【试题解析】 本题为介词与名词搭配错误。 by和 through都有表示 “通过 ”的含义，但 through是通过某种途 径，表示 “以；通过；经由 ”如： He bought the antique vase through a dealer He beca

15、me rich through hard work by是通过某种方法： 1)表示以一般的方法或方式。如： No one in those days could live by writing poems 2)表示传达、传递的方式或媒介。如： How did you send the letter,by airmail or by ordinary mail?I came back by bus此处文中表示通过经验获得，用 through较为合适。 【知识模块】 改错 5 【正确答案】 fact 一 that 【试题解析】 本题为同位语从句误用。 the fact后跟的是解释说明性的从句，名词

16、后的解释说明性的从句应当是同位语从句，引导词 that不可省略。 【知识模块】 改错 6 【正确答案】 Pepsis Pepsi 【试题解析】 本题为名词所有格误用。此处名词中心语 the model没有使用复数，表示这是百事与麦当劳共有的国际化模式。在名词所有格的使用中，用 and连接的并列连词的所有格要分两种情况，即表示各自的所有关系时，要分别在并列连词后加 -s，表示共同的所有关系时，只在最后一个名词后加 -s： Toms and Jims rooms汤姆和吉姆 (各自 )的房间， Tom and Jims rooms汤姆和吉姆 (共同 )的房间。故此处不需加 -s。 【知识模块】 改错

17、 7 【正确答案】 with to for 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。 tailor sth to for sb sth为某人某事量身定制，此处表示商业模式因各个国家的文化而异。 【知识模块】 改错 8 【正确答案】 international internationally 【试题解析】 本题为形容词误用。此处强调在国际上大获成功的企业，应当用internationally来修饰 successful，而不能用形容词。如果两个形容词修饰companies则词序需要调整，应当是 successful international companies。 【知识模块】 改错 9 【正确答案】 b

18、uild built 【试题解析】 本题为时态误用。 notbut rather 为并列连接词，所以其连接的两个动词时态应当一致，都采用过去式。 【知识模块】 改错 10 【正确答案】 obeying following 【试题解析】 本题为动词与名词搭配错误。此处名词中心语为 principles，相应的动词词组应该是 follow the principles或 stick to the principles。 【知识模块】 改错 【知识模块】 改错 11 【正确答案】 of / 【试题解析】 本题为赘词错误。 as regards作为介词词组可直接加名词， as regards sb s

19、th “关于 ”。 【知识模块】 改错 12 【正确答案】 they one或 of 一 it 【试题解析】 本题为缺词。 they tend to be ashamed of是不完整的句子， of后需要加名词宾语。一种方式直接加 it，形成 and连接的两句并列句；另一种方法加one，形成 This is an embarrassing subject for English people， and one(that)they tend to be ashamed of的省略形式。 【知识模块】 改错 13 【正确答案】 Broad Broadly 【试题解析】 本题为形容词误用。 spea

20、king在这里是非谓语动词，而不是名词，应该用副词修饰，可以参照 generally speaking。 【知识模块】 改错 14 【正确答案】 so but 【试题解析】 本 题为逻辑错误。上一句讲可以忽略上层阶级，因为他们人数甚少，下一句指出他们之中一些人可以在上议院就职，而且媒体对他们有着超乎寻常的兴趣。两句话间应当是转折关系，而不是因果关系。 【知识模块】 改错 15 【正确答案】 (chiefly)in of 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。 consist in“存在于 中，以 为主要部分或唯一部分 ”， consist of“由 构成 ”，此句强调中产阶级的组成人员，用 consi

21、st of。 【知识模块】 改错 16 【正确答案】 a the 【试题解析】 本题为冠词误用。此处特指 BBC播音员的语音，即向海外学生教授的语音，应当用定冠词。 【知识模块】 改错 17 【正确答案】 speak 一 in 【试题解析】 本题为动词误用。 speak只有在后面加语言时用作及物动词，此处为不及物动词，至于添加的介词需与 accent搭配，上文有所提示 “difference between them is in their accent”。 【知识模块】 改错 18 【正确答案】 beautiful-ugly 【试题解析】 本 题为逻辑错误。此处强调工人阶级的口音，与标准口音

22、相比，是uneducated，不可能 beautiful，应该相反 ugly。 【知识模块】 改错 19 【正确答案】 and 一 are 【试题解析】 本题为语态误用。此处 and连接并列句，前一句谓语为 tend to live，后一句动词为 are cultured，因为 cultur作为动词是及物动词， culture people教化人民。被动语态不能省略 be动词。 【知识模块】 改错 20 【正确答案】 permitted permit 【试题解析】 本题为语态误用。此处主语为 time，习惯用法为 if time permits“如果时间允许的话 ”，此处是主动关系，不必用被动语态。 【知识模块】 改错
