46、 B、 E结构均不对应，同时 A、B、 D、 E的主语形式与句首 just as中的主语不对应。 【知识模块】 语法改错 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 由句意及 even as就相当于 just as，只能选 A。 【知识模块】 语法改错 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 D、 E结构不对， A、 C形式与 just as中对应部分形式不对称， just as之后是动名词短语作主语，而 A、 C都是人作主语。 【知识模块】 语法改错 5 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 B、 C中 do不对，应改为 does， E结构不对， D改变句意， A既简洁，又达意。 【知识模块】 语法改错 6
47、【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 A中 such as之后跟一完整的句子，是错的； D中 whenever从句中主语为单数与复数形式动词 broadcast不一致， B的表达繁琐且混淆了句意， C、E之间的比较，译成中文就好理解一些了。 C： (首句省 )但是当三家电台播放来自一个竞选 者的同一主张时，电视节目可能是肤浅的。给人产生一种误解，只有在这样一种条件下，电视节目是肤浅的；而在其他情况下，电视节目都深入透析政治事件。而 E为：但是电视节目可能是肤浅的，比如说当三家电台播放来自一个竞选者的同一主张时， as译为 “比如说 ”，很明显， E的范围较广，除了此条件外，还可能有其他情况的存在，而
48、且 E的句意是符合常理的。 【知识模块】 语法改错 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 由未划线部分的 not so much决定只能是 D选项。 【知识模块】 语法改错 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 举例用 such as，不用 like，排除 D、 E。 C中 those in是多余，加入之后反而使得 such之后的内容与 as之后的内容形式上不对应，且不属同类，这显然违背举例的要求。 A中的表达造成一种误解：认为 nonsalary compensation与allowance是独立的并列关系，这显然改变了两者之间本来的包含关系。 【知识模块】 语法改错 9 【正确答案】 E 【试
49、题解析】 由 force sb to do sth的用法可排除 B、 C、 D，再由举例用 such as而不用 like原则，确认答案为 E。 【知识模块】 语法改错 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 由 the use of sth to do sth的用法排除 D、 E，由举例一般不用like的原则，排除 B。 A中显然 such as是对一个大的类别： food allergy进行举例，但其举出的例子 (as之后 )却是 milk。显然 food allergy与 milk分属两类截然不同的物质，这样的举例岂不是牛头不对马嘴 ?可见 C正确，因为 C中 such as之后补出了一个介词 to，也就是说 to之前省略了 food allergy，对某物的过敏用英语表达是 allergy to sth，因而 C中的举例内容是 food allergy的一个小的子项，既符合逻辑又表达了句意。 【知识模块】 语法改错 11 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 A中 similar to是一形容词词组，一般修饰名词；而本句从句意上讲，要求其修饰整个前面的句子，这显然超出了它的 “能力范围 ”； B：原句意是指两者在呼吸方式上的相似性， B选项却荒谬地认为水果 “呼吸 ”的方式类似于人 (而不是 “人的呼吸方式 ”)； C中 the b
