16、固定搭配 difference between A and B。 【知识模块】 改错 3 【正确答案】 took take 【试题解析】 本题为虚拟语气误用。 suggest表示 “显示、表明时 ”，它所引导的that从句无需用虚拟语气，而本句中它表示 “建议 ”，要用虚拟语气，助动词should可以省略。 【知识模块】 改错 4 【正确答案】 neglected ignored 【试题解析】 本题为 动词误用。两个动词都表示忽视。 neglect指无意忽视，ignore指有意忽忽视。文中介绍，根据研究成果，医生量血压时需要测量左右两臂的血压，但是他们故意忽视，只量其中一个，所以用 ignor
17、e更合适。 【知识模块】 改错 5 【正确答案】 regularly not 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误根据文章的大意，英美两国规定医生检查时要测量左右两臂的血压，但是医生多数不遵守这项规则。 【知识模块】 改错 6 【正确答案】 statistic a 【试题解析】 本题为冠词误用。 statistic是可数名词，表示统计、统计资料。 【知识模块】 改错 7 【正确答案】 dozens dozen 【试题解析】 本题为数词误用。 dozen和基数词搭配使用时，要用单数。 【知识模块】 改错 8 【正确答案】 number amount 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。 number和可数名词
18、搭配使用， blood pressure表示血压，是不可数名词词组，只能和 amount搭配使用。 【知识模块】 改错 9 【正确 答案】 great greater 【试题解析】 本题为形容词误用。表示倍数的固定句型是百分数 +形容词比较级+名词，故用 greater。 【知识模块】 改错 10 【正确答案】 because so 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据句子的意思，两臂血压的细微差别，哪怕只差 10毫米，也会增加周围血管疾病的几率，所以测两臂血压非常有必要。由此可见，主句是原因，从句是后果，引导结果状语从句应该用 so。 【知识模块】 改错 【知识模块】 改错 11 【正确答案】
19、 number deal/amount 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。 a great number of和可数名词搭配使用， a great deal amount of和不可数名词搭配使用。 attention是不可数名词，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 12 【正确答案】 pessimistic optimistic 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。文章介绍由于网络的出现，可以缩小数字鸿沟，前景是乐观的，不是悲观的。 【知识模块】 改错 13 【正确答案】 commercializing commercialized 【试题解析】 本题为分词误用。 commercialize表示 “使 商
20、业化 ”，根据句子的意思，网络越来越商业化，应该使用过去分词，而非现在分词。 【知识模块】 改错 14 【正确答案】 in after 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据句意：出于商业利益，网络越来越商业化，毕竟越多人上网，潜在的消费者也越多。 in all表示 “总之 ”，是总结上文的， after all表示 “毕竟 ”，是让步关系，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 15 【正确 答案】 (government,)are一 【试题解析】 本题为赘词错误。本句的谓语动词是 want to，因此 be afraid中的be动词可以省略。 【知识模块】 改错 16 【正确答案】 billions
21、billion 【试题解析】 本题为数词误用。 billion和基数词搭配时，不需要用复数形式。 【知识模块】 改错 17 【正确答案】 well 一 be 【试题解析】 本题为缺词错误。情态动词 may不能单独和名词搭配使用，需要be动词。 【知识模块】 改 错 18 【正确答案】 off over 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。 get off表示 “下车 ”， get over表示 “结束不愉快的事情 ”。根据句意，如果要充分利用网络工具发展经济，那些贫困国家将不得不结束反殖民主义的情绪，准许外国投资。故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 19 【正确答案】 such so 【试题解析】 本题为代词误用。两者都可以指代上文出现过的事物，但是 so和动词 do连用，可用来指代上文出现过的动宾结构，以避免重复，而 such只能指代上文提到的名词，故用 so。 【知识模块】 改错 20 【正确答案】 are were 【试题解析】 本题为时态错误。美国的第二次基础没施建设浪潮已经过去，因此用一般过去时。 【知识模块】 改错
