15、答案】 agreeing agree 【试题解析】 本题为非谓语动词误用。 be poised to do sth是同定搭配，表示“准备好做某事 ”，需用动词不定式。 【知识模块】 改错 2 【正确答案】 little few 【试题解析】 本题为形容词误用。两个词都可以表示 “几乎没有 ”，但是 few和可数名词搭配， little和不可数名词搭配。 sign是可数名词，表示 “迹象 ”，和 few搭配使用。 【知识模块】 改错 3 【正确答案】 relive revive 【试题解析】 本题为动词误用。两个词形似义异。 relive表示 “重生 ”， revive表示 “振兴 ”。根据句子
16、的意思欧洲各国领导想采取可靠的计划振兴日益衰退的经济，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 4 【正确答案】 aimed was 【试题解析】 本题为语态误用。 aim表示 “旨在、使针对 ”，根据句子的意思，欧盟首脑会议的召开目的在于终止所谓的财政协定。本句的主语是 meeting，作为受动者，应该使用被动语态。 be aimed at doing sth旨在做某事。 【知识模块】 改错 5 【正确答案】 zone 【试题解析】 本题为赘词错误。 euro表示 “欧元 ”，是一个经济概念； euro zone表示 “欧元区 ”，是一个地点概念。根据句子意思，欧盟 17国的经济兴衰和欧元的升贬有关，
17、而非欧元区。 【知识模块】 改错 6 【正确答案】 most mostly 【试题解析】 本题为副词误用。 most表示 “非常、十分 ”， mostly表示 “多半、几乎全部地 ”。根据句子意思，欧盟国家首脑们承诺要增加新的就业机会，多半会落空。所以 mostly更符合原文。 【知识模块】 改错 7 【正确答案】 so because 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据句子意思，其他政客和分析家抱怨说会议上有关控制财政赤字的提案不合理，因为它没有涉及偿还巨额债款的方案。由此可见，句中的逻辑关系是前果后因，应该用 because引导原因状语从句。 【知识模块】 改错 8 【正确答案】 the
18、a 【试题解析】 本题为冠词误用。根据句子的意思，是又一次紧急财政援助，而非第二次，故使用不定冠词和序数词搭配。 【知识模块】 改错 9 【正确答案】 prepared not 【试题解析】 本题为缺词错误。本句把由 until引导的时间状语从句提前，notuntil 是固定搭配，表示直到 才 ，不能省略 not。 【知识模块】 改错 10 【正确答案】 overlook outlook 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。两个名词形似义异。 overlook表示 “忽视、忽略 ”， outlook表示 “前景、展望 ”。句中提到经济的前景不容乐观，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 【知识模块】 改错
19、 11 【正确答案】 been一或 has with 【试题解析】 本题为语态误用。 face表示 “面对、对付 ”，有两种固定搭配： face sth， be faced with sth，不能混淆使用。 【知识模块】 改错 12 【正确答案】 most the 【 试题解析】 本题为冠词误用。根据句子意思，政府给受灾最严重地区提供援助， most前必须加定冠词，否则就变成非常严重，与原文不符。 【知识模块】 改错 13 【正确答案】 other another 【试题解析】 本题为形容词误用。 five months是时间的跨度，作为一个整体，another five months表示往后
20、的另外五个月。 【知识模块】 改错 14 【正确答案】 drought-striking drought stricken 【试题解析】 本题为非谓语 动词误用。 drought-stricken是固定搭配，表示受旱灾影响。 【知识模块】 改错 15 【正确答案】 in on 【试题解析】 本题为介词误用。根据句子的意思，由于饥荒，出现了大批自杀现象。 bring in表示 “提出、引入 ”， bring on表示 “使发生、使出现，故用后者 ”。 【知识模块】 改错 16 【正确答案】 agriculture agricultural 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。 agricultural
21、 land是固定搭配，表示 “农业地区 ”，前置 定语为形容词，而 agriculture是名词。 【知识模块】 改错 17 【正确答案】 that which 【试题解析】 本题为从句误用。主语后面的从句作后置定语，需用定语从句，而that只能引导限制性定语从句， which可以引导非限制性定语从句，故用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 18 【正确答案】 speeding slowing 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据句子的意思，有些重灾区地处偏僻，很难到达，肯定减缓了救援的进度，而非加快，故用 slowing更符合原文。 【知识模块】 改错 19 【正确答案】 winter as 【试题解析】 本题为缺词错误。 as well as是固定搭配，表示 “还有 ” ，两个as都不能省略。 【知识模块】 改错 20 【正确答案】 licit illicit/illegal 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据下文列举的植物大麻是制作毒品的原料，属违禁之物，故用 illicit或 illegal。 【知识模块】 改错
