2015年英語專八改錯(cuò)練習(xí)題及答案解析(14)

　　下面是2015年英語專八改錯(cuò)練習(xí)題及答案解析(14)，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(duì)某物在金錢上的價(jià)值進(jìn)行權(quán)威的評(píng)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(duì)自己身體的每一部分進(jìn)行評(píng)判，評(píng)價(jià)，應(yīng)該用evaluate，因?yàn)樵撛~表示對(duì)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(dòng)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”。
