2015年英語專八改錯(cuò)練習(xí)題及答案解析(20)

　　下面是2015年英語專八改錯(cuò)練習(xí)題及答案解析(20)，希望考生認(rèn)真訓(xùn)練，獲得不錯(cuò)的復(fù)習(xí)效果。

　　To be called beautiful is thought to name something essential to women’s character and concerns. (In contrast by men- whose __1__ essence is to be strong, or effective, or competent.)

　　It does not 　need someone in the throes of feminist awareness to perceive that __2__ the way women are taught to be involved in beauty encourages __3__ narcissism, reinforces independence and immaturity.

　　Everybody knows __4__ that. For it is “everybody”, a whole society, which has identified __5__ being feminine with caring about how one looks.

　　Giving these __6__ stereotypes, it is no wonder that beauty enjoys, at best, a rather mixed reputation.

　　It is not, of course, the desire to be beautiful is wrong but the __7__ 　obligation to be. Women are taught to see their bodies in parts, and to assess each part separately.

　　Breasts, feet, hips, waistline, neck, __8__ eyes, nose, complexion, hair, and so on–each by turn is submitted __9__ to an anxious scrutiny. Even if some pass the scrutiny, some will 　　always be found wanted. Nothing less than perfection will do. __10__

　　答案與解析：

　　1.by改為 to/with

　　詞組 in contrast to/ with 表示“與……相比”，不能用其他介詞。

　　2. need改為take

　　雖然need的漢語意思是“需要”，但英語中It takes 往往作為一個(gè)固定搭配，表示“做某事需要某物或者某種品質(zhì)”。

　　3.in改為with

　　be involved in 表示“介入，參與”，后面一般跟事。

　　而 be involved with 則表示“和……有關(guān)系，有關(guān)聯(lián)”，后面一般跟人。

　　如： He was involved in a car accident.

　　I never wanted to get emotionally involved with him.

　　4.independence改為dependence。

　　5.which改為that

　　句子的主干是 it is…that…表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。

　　6.giving改為given

　　given 一詞后面接名詞詞組可表示“考慮到，鑒于…”。

　　7.beautiful 后面加that

　　此句同樣也是一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，后面須跟that引導(dǎo)的從句。

　　8.assess改為evaluate

　　assess往往指對某物在金錢上的價(jià)值進(jìn)行權(quán)威的評估。

　　如： We should assess an apartment on the amount for which it is likely to be rented.

　　本句話指每一個(gè)平常的女性對自己身體的每一部分進(jìn)行評判，評價(jià)，應(yīng)該用evaluate，因?yàn)樵撛~表示對事物的本質(zhì)或價(jià)值進(jìn)行判斷，如：

　　Teachers evaluate a student’s thesis for content and organization.

　　9.by改為in

　　by turns 表示“交替地，輪番地 ”。 in turn 表示一系列動作按照一定順序發(fā)生，或者某人先后做某事。根據(jù)題意，這里要用in turn。

　　10. wanted改為wanting

　　to find something or somebody wanting 表示“(某物或某人)缺乏應(yīng)有的素質(zhì)，不夠格”。

　　wanted往往指“被通緝”或者“被愛，被照顧的”。
