15、 missing word with a “ “ sign and write t 【知识模块】 改错 1 【正确答案】 assigning assigned 【试题解析】 本题为非谓语动词误用。 assign sb to sth表示 “指派某人去做某事 ”，根据句子的意思，他是被派去做六周的救援直升机飞行员，故用过去分词作名词的后置定语。 【知识模块】 改错 2 【正确答案】 be is 【试题解析】 本题为虚拟语气误用。 insist表示 “坚持认为 ”时，它所引导的 that从句不需要用虚拟语气；只有表示 “坚持让某人去做某事时 ”，才需用虚拟语气。本句介绍指挥官坚持认为这次任务只是常规
16、部署，因此不需要用虚拟语气。 【知识模块】 改错 3 【正确答案】 much no 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。文中提到虽然威廉王子是名人，但是指挥官认为这次任务是常规性的，不希望媒体给予太多关注。因此，用 pay no attention更贴切。 【知识模块】 改错 4 【正确答 案】 exclusive elusive 【试题解析】 本题为形容词误用。两个词形似义异， exclusive表示 “排除在外的 ”， elusive表示 “难以实现的 ”。根据句子的意思，王子想保持低调是很难做到的，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 5 【正确答案】 Argentine the 【试题解析】 本题
17、为冠词误用。本句中提到的阿尔及利亚的入侵是特指的，需要用定冠词。 【知识模块】 改错 6 【正确答案】 its their 【试题解析】 本题为代词误用。被指代的是 the governments，作为名词的复数形式，需与代词的复数形式搭配使用。 【知识模块】 改错 7 【正确答案】 on for 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。 volunteer for是固定搭配，表示 “当志愿兵 ”。 【知识模块】 改错 8 【正确答案】 purely pure 【试题解析】 本题为副词误用。名词 coincidence的前置定语需用形容词。 【知识模块】 改错 9 【正确答案】 Consequently
18、 Nevertheless/However 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据句子的意思，虽然军队指挥官希望这次任务安排不要成为舆论的焦点，但是威廉王子本人就是一条特大新闻。本句与上文是转折关系，而非因果关系。 【知识模块】 改错 10 【正确答案】 has have 【试题解析】 本题为主谓一致错误。本句中定语从句的先行词是 indiscretions，为名词的复数形式，与之相对应，从句中的谓语动词也需要用复数形式。 【知识模块】 改错 【知识模块】 改错 11 【正确答案】 at on 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。如果在 night前有具体日期作定语，应该改为 on作介词，如果没有具体日
19、期，直接用词组 at night。 【知识模块】 改错 12 【正确答案】 evading evaded 【试题解析】 本题为非谓语动词误用。 evade前有一个转折连词 but，表示 evade也是句子中的谓语，句中介绍的是过去发生过的事情，应该使用一般过去时。 【知识模块】 改错 13 【正确答案】 unstable stable 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据文章的意思，受伤的警员处于康复的关键期，但是情况尚稳定。 【知识模块】 改错 14 【正确答案】 near nearby 【试题解析】 本题为副词误用。只有 nearby可以作名词的后置定语， near作副词只能用在动词之后。
20、【知识模块】 改错 15 【正确答案】 stuck struck 【试题解析】 本题为动词误用。 stuck是 stick的过去分词，表示 “粘住、卡住 ”；struck是 strike的过去分词，表示 “打中、击中 ”。句中提及犯罪嫌疑人 Ortiz没有被子弹击中，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 16 【正确答案】 thus though 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。 thus表示 “如此、因此 ”，是因果关系； though表示 “虽然、尽管 ”，是让步关系。根据句子的意思， Brennan警官虽然时而昏迷时而清醒，但是完全康复的希望很大。可见句中是让步关系，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改
21、错 17 【正确答案】 in一 【试题解析】 本题为赘词错误。 believe in表示 “信任 ”，直接和名词或者名词词组搭配使用，不能引导 that从句； believe可以直接引导 that从句，表示 “相信 ”。 【知识模块】 改错 18 【正确答案】 was一 / 【试题解析】 本题为语态误用。 occur表示 “发生 ”，是不及物动词，没有被动态。 【知识模块】 改错 19 【正确答案】 return reaction/response/answer/reply 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。 in return for为固定搭配，表示 “回报、报答 ”；in reaction response answer reply to为 同定搭配，表示回应。根据句子的意思，警察接到有持枪嫌疑犯的报告，前去追踪，是对此案件的回应，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 20 【正确答案】 a the 【试题解析】 本题为冠词误用。枪击案的事发现场是特指的，应该和定冠词搭配使用。 【知识模块】 改错
