15、【试题解析】 本题为动词误用。渊组 makeknown 表示 “使 著称 ”，句意为“除了人类，宽吻海豚是唯一 种以能辨别同类身份著称的动物 ”。而makeknow 表示 “使 知道 ”，不符合原文。 【知识模块】 改错 2 【正确答案】 as like 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。 like表示 “像 ”，句意为 “海豚像人类一样，能互相 用姓名称呼对方 ”。而 as表示 “作为 ”，海豚不能作为人类，语意不对。 【知识模块】 改错 3 【正确答案】 including include 【试题解析】 本题为非谓语动词误用。 dolphinswhistling calls作为 that从句中
16、的主语， repeated information作为句中的宾语，缺少谓语动词，因此 include要用原形而不是 -ing分词。 【知识模块】 改错 4 【正确答案】 in from 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。动词 remove搭配介词 from，表示 “从 中去除 ”。 【知识模块】 改错 5 【正确答案】 years year 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。关于复合词的用法， three years study如果用连字符合成一个词， “year”要用单数形式。 【知识模块】 改错 6 【正确答案】 conduced conducted 【试题解析】 本题为动词误用。 conduce
17、是不及物动词，表示 “导致 ”， conduct表示 “进行、实施 ”。句中指 “他们对野生海豚进行了研究 ”，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 7 【正确答案】 deep shallow 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。科学家录制野生海豚的叫声是在浅海水域，而非深海水域。 【知识模块】 改错 8 【正确答案】 have had 【试题解析】 本题为时态错误。整个句子都是在叙述过去发生的事情，要用一般过去时。 【知识模块】 改错 9 【正确答案】 coolly strongly 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。由于海豚能听懂同类的呼唤，因此反应 “很强烈 ”而不是 “很冷淡 ”。 【知识模块】 改错
18、 10 【正确答案】 instead 一 of 【试题解析】 本题为缺词错误。 instead后面只能跟句子，且后要加逗号，而instead of后面跟名词词组。 【知识模块】 改错 【知识模块】 改错 11 【正确答案】 settle to 【试题解析】 本题为缺词错误。 pay some money和不定式 to do搭配表示 “为了做成某事而付钱 ”。 【知识模块】 改错 12 【正确答案】 more much或 more一 【试题解析】 本题为副词误用。 high是单音节形容词，不需要和副词 more合用作为它的比较级，仅用 higher即可。如果需要修饰 higher，应该用副词 m
19、uch。 【知识模块】 改错 13 【正确答案】 seriously serious 【试题解析】 本题为副词和形容词误用。修饰名词 risk不能用副词，而应该使用形容词 serious，表示 “更大的威胁 ”。 【知识模块】 改错 14 【正确答案】 problem problems 【试题解析】 本题为名 词误用。 problem表示 “问题 ”，是可数名词，句中表示“各种眼疾 ”。 【知识模块】 改错 15 【正确答案】 their its 【试题解析】 本题为代词误用。物主代词和句中的 each搭配使用，表示 “每种药有各自致命的副作用 ”，故使用 its。 【知识模块】 改错 16
20、【正确答案】 increased reduced 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据上文的意思，该药虽然能治疗心理病，但是由于副作用较大，引发其他疾病，需要逐渐减少用药量，而不是增加，故用reduced符 合原文。 【知识模块】 改错 17 【正确答案】 are is 【试题解析】 本题为动词误用。定语从句的先行词 population作为集合名词，表示一类人，应该用单数谓语动词与之搭配。 【知识模块】 改错 18 【正确答案】 was / 【试题解析】 本题为语态误用。 Vargha女士在绝望之余只能把她的姐姐从医院带回家，作为施动者，不需要用被动态。 【知识模块】 改错 19 【正确答案】 Iran Iranian 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。作为名词的 前置定语，应该使用形容词形式Iranian，表示一个伊朗的警察。 【知识模块】 改错 20 【正确答案】 that what 【试题解析】 本题为从句误用。句中的 experience不是名词而是动词，需用宾语从句而非定语从句，要用 what作关系代词，表示她所相信的事情。 【知识模块】 改错
