1999The hunter-gatherer tribes that today live as our prehistoric 1.__ human ancestors consume primarily a vegetable diet supplementing 2._ with animal foods. An analysis of 58 societies of modem hunter- gatherers, including the Kung of southern Africa, revealed that onehalf emphasize gathering plant foods, one-third concentrate on fishingand only one-sixth are primarily hunters. Overall, two-thirdsand more of the hunter-gatherer’s calories come from plants. 3. Detailed studies of the Kung by the food scientists at the University ofLondon, showed that gathering is a more productive source of foodthan is hunting. An hour of hunting yields in average about 100 4._ edible calories, as an hour of gathering produces 240. 5._ Plant foods provide for 60 percent to 80 percent of the Kung 6. diet, and no one goes hungry when the hunt fails. Interestingly, ifthey escape fatal infections or accidents, these contemporaryaborigines live to old ages despite of the absence of medical care. 7._ They experience no obesity, no middle-aged spread, little dentaldecay, no high blood pressure, on heart disease, and their bloodcholesterol levels are very low( about half of the average American 8._ adult), if no one is suggesting what we return to an aboriginal life 9. style, we certainly could use their eating habits as a model for 10._ healthier diet.2000The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammarare for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words.A rough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious (1) is that grammatical words have “less meaning”, but in fact (2) some grammarians have called the m “empty” wordsas opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this (3) is a rather misled way of expressing the distinction. (4) Although a word like “the” is not the name of somethin gas “man” is, it is very far away from being meaningless; (5) there is a sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile”and “the man is vile”, yet the is the single vehicle of (6) this difference in meaning.Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably amongthemselves as the amount of meaning they have even in (7) the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical wordshas been “little words.”But size is by no mean a good criterion (8) for distinguishing the grammatical words of English,when we consider that we have lexical words as (9) go, man, say, car. Apart from this, however, thereis a good deal of truth in what some people say: wecertainly do create a great number of obscurity when (10)we omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetryof Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.1999年答案1.答案：as→like【详细解答】as our prehistoric human ancestors意为"作为人类史前的祖先那样"，但是根据上下文，此处应表达的意思是"像人类史前的祖先那样"，故应该将as改为介词like。

英语专八改错部分真题及答案英语专八改错部分真题及答案So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is, every language appears to be as well equipped as any other to say the things its speakers want to say. It may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive peoples or cultures, but that is another matter. Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice or the engraving of Benares brass. But this is not the fault of their language. The Eskimos can speak about snow with a great deal more precision and subtlety than we can in English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of those sometimes miscalled ’primitive’) is inherently more precise and subtle than English. This example does not bring to light a defect in English, a show of unexpected ’primitiveness’. The position is simply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in different environments. The English language would be just as rich in terms for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinction important. Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed part of the Eskimos’ life. For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth century could not talk about motorcars with the minute discrimination which is possible today: cars were not a part of their culture. But they had a host of terms for horse-drawn vehicles which send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens. How many ofus could distinguish between a chaise, a landau, a victoria, a brougham, a coupe, a gig, a diligence, a whisky, a calash, a tilbury,a carriole, a phaeton, and a clarence ?1 be后插入 as;2 their改为its;3 There改为It;4 Whereas改为But;5 further 改为much6 come改为bring;7 similar改为different;8 will改为would;9 as important去掉as;10 the part去掉the。

模拟1You stare at a waterfall for a minute or two, then shift your gaze to its surrounding. What you now see appears to drift upward. You __1are board a train in a busy station when suddenly another train next __2to your starts moving forward. __3For a fraction of a second you feel that your train has lurched backward. These optical illusions occur because the brain is constantly matching its model of reality to signals from the body’s sensors and interpret what must be happening – that your train __4might have moved, not the other; that downward motion is now __5normal, so a change from it must be perceived as upward motion.The sensors that make this magic are two kinds. __6Each eye contains about 120 million rods, which provide somewhat blurry black and white vision. These are the windows of night vision; once adapted to the dark, they can detect a candle burnt __7ten miles away. Colorful vision in each eye comes from six to seven __8million structures called cones. Under ideal conditions, every cone can “see” the entire rainbow spectrum of visible colors, but one type of cone is most sensitive to red, another to green, the third to __9blue. By monitoring how many wavelength of light affects the different cones, a connected ganglion cell can determ ine its “color” and relay that data. Rods and cones send their messages pulsing on __10average 20 to 25 times per second along the optic nerve.模拟2The violence within a society is controlled through institutions of law. The most developed a legal system becomes, the more __1societies takes responsibility for the discovery, control, and punishment __2of violent acts. In most tribal societies the only means to dealing with __3an act of violence is revenge. Each family group may have the responsibility for personal carrying out judgment and punishment __4upon the person who did the offense. __5But in legal systems, the responsibility for revenge becomes personalized and diffused. The society assumes the responsibility for __6protecting individuals from violence. In cases where he cannot be __7protected, the society is responsible for committing punishment. __8In a state controlling legal system, individuals are removed __9from the circle of revenge motivated by acts of violence, and the __10state assumes responsibility for their protection.模拟3There are three main groups of oils: animal, vegetable and mineral.Great numbers of animal oil come from whales, those enormous __1creatures of the sea which are the largest remaining animals in the world. To protect the whale from the cold of the Arctic seas, nature has provided it with a thick cover of fat called blubber. When the __2whale is killed, the blubber is stripped off and boiled down, either board the ship or on shore. It produces a great quantity of oil which __3can be made into food for human consumption. A few other creatures yield oil, and none so much as the whale. The livers of the cod and __4the halibut, two kinds of fish, yield nourishing oil. Both cod liver oil and halibut liver oil are given to sick children and other invalids who need certain vitamins. These oils may be bought at any chemist. Vegetable oil has been known from antiquity. __5No household can not get on without it, for it is used in cooking. To __6the ordinary man, one kind of oil may be as important as another.But when the politician or the engineer refers to oil, one almost always __7means mineral oil, the oil that drives tanks, aeroplanes and warships,motor-cars and diesel locomotives; the oil that is used to lubricate all kinds of machineries. This is the oil that has changed the life __8of the common men. To it we owe the existence of the motor-car, __9which has replaced the private horse-drawing carriage. __10模拟4Dinosaurs, saber-tooth tigers and the dodo bird are famous examples __1of animals that have become extinct. In case of the dinosaurs, it __2seems likely that a catastrophic event alters the global climate __3enough to lead to their disappearance. More recent extinctions and near-extinctions－such as the blue whales, tiger, panda, and __4North American bison—have been the direct result of human activity. By the early 1990s, species were becoming extinct at a rate of three per hour, or 27,000 every day – a figure quoted by the American biologist Edward O.Wilson of Harvard University, based on his most conservative estimates. This rate of extinctions carries with it some terrible consequences. Each plant that becomes extinct,for example, may take with it as much as 30 insects and animals __5that depend on it for food. Habitat loss is one of the most important causes of extinction. For rising populations in many countries __6lead to the clearing of more land, habitats such as raining forest __7and grasslands disappear.In the East Africa, once renowned for its wildlife, few wild animals __8remain living outside the boundaries of national parks and game __9reserves. In other parts of the world, coastal ecosystems are clearing __10for development. Wetland areas are drying out as a result of water extraction to support farming and tourism. Bird species are among the worst affected by the loss of wetlands.模拟5Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economical causes: it is not due simply to the bad __1influence of this or that individual writers. But an effect can become __2a cause, reinforce the original cause and producing the same effect __3in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take drink __4because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the most __5completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the sloven of our language __6makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is irreversible. Modern English, especially written English, __7is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can beavoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and think clearly is a __8necessary first step towards political regeneration: so that the fight against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concerning __9of professional writers. I will come back to this present, and I hope __10that by that time the meaning of what I have said here will have become clearer.模拟6Our obsession with thinness is also fueled by health concerns.It is true that in this country we have more overweighted people __1than ever before, and that, in many cases, being overweight correlates an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. __2These diseases, therefore, may have as much to do with our __3way of life and our high-fat diets as with excessive weight. And __4the associate risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more __5about a dietary problem—too much fat and a lack of fiber than a __6weight problem.The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough or eat well. Exercise is necessary __7for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced dietwithout a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases.We should surely stop paying so much attention on weight. __8Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardy if those who __9get(or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be purely vainglory. __10模拟7To be called beautiful is thought to name something essential to women’s character and concerns.(In contrast by men whose __1essence is to be strong, or effective, or competent.) It does not need someone in the throes of feminist awareness to perceive that __2the way women are taught to be involved in beauty encourages __3narcissism, reinforces independence and immaturity. Everybody knows __4that. For it is “everybody”, a whole society, which has identified __5being feminine with caring about how one looks. Giving these __6stereotypes, 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 __7obligation to be. Women are taught to see their bodies in parts, and to assess each part separately. Breasts, feet, hips, waistline, neck, __8eyes, nose, complexion, hair, and so on – each by turn is submitted __9to an anxious scrutiny. Even if some pass the scrutiny, some will always be found wanted. Nothing less than perfection will do. __10模拟8The great whales are among the most fascinating creatures which __1have ever lived on the earth, and one of them, the blue whale, is the largest. People in ancient times thought whales as fearsome __2monsters of the ocean depths. So to hunt a whale, when one occasionally swam toward shore, he was high adventure. People __3found the adventure was rewarding, too, for the oil and meat from one whale alone could heat and feed a village for a whole winter.Whales resemble huge fish. They were referred by the ancients as __4“great fish,” and any whale beaching along the coasts of England was designated “the King’s fish” because it automatically belonged to the Crown.Ever since those early times, human have felt whales a sense of __5wonder mixed with an intense desire to capture, slaughter, and exploit. Now the slaughter has reached alarming proportions. __6Even though some species are protected by the regulations of the International Whaling Commission and theoretically all whale hunting is regulated, but the earth's stock of whales is still being __7depleted. In fact, some scientists worry that 100 years since now __8there may be no whales left. If this happens, mankind will be blame for removing from the earth forever a remarkable and __9awe-inspiring creature that always fed man's imagination and made the world a more exciting place__10模拟9Planning is a very important activity in our lives. It can give pleasure, even excitement, and it can cause quite severe headaches. __1The most significant the task ahead, the more careful the planning __2required. Getting to school or to work on time is a task requiring few __3or no planning, it is almost routine. A month’s touring holiday abroad,or better still, getting married, is a different matter altogether. If the matter involve a church wedding, a reception, a honeymoon in Venice, __4and returning a new home, this requires even more planning to make __5sure that it is successful. Planning is our way of trying to ensure success and of avoiding costly failures we can not suffer. It is equally essential __6to individual nations and families; the scale may be vary, but the degree __7of importance does not. In the essence, a nation planning its resources __8and needs do not differ from the familiar weekly shopping or monthly __9household budget. Both are designed to ensure an adequate supply of essentials, and if improperly carried out, will avoid shortages, wastage __10and over-expenditure.模拟10Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior.Viewing biologically, the modern footballer is revealed as a member of a disguised __1hunting pack. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is inaccurate and he scores a goal, __2enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey. __3To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look up at our ancient ancestors. They spent over a million __4year evolving as co-operative hunters. Their very survival depended on success __5in the hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even if their __6bodies, became radically changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They co-operate as skillful male-group __7attackers.Then, about ten thousand years ago, when this immensely long formative __8period of hunting for food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence,so vital to their old hunting life, were put to a new use—that of penning, __9controlling and domesticating their prey. The food was there on the farms,awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of farming were no longer __10essential for survival.模拟11A great many cities are experiencing difficulties which are nothing new in the history of cities, except in their scale. Some cities have lost their original purpose and have not found new one. And any large or rich city is __1going to attract poor immigrants, who flood in, filling with hopes of __2prosperity which are then often disappointing. There are backward towns on the edge of Bombay or Brasilia, just as though there were on the edge of __3seventeenth-century London or early nineteenth-century Paris. This is new is __4the scale. Descriptions written by eighteenth-century travelers of the poor of Mexico City, and the enormous contrasts that was to be found there, are very __5dissimilar to descriptions of Mexico City today—the poor can still be numbered __6in millions.The whole monstrous growth rests on economic prosperity, but behind it lies __7two myths; the myth of the city as a promised land, that attracts immigrants __8from rural poverty and brings it flooding into city centers, and the myth of the __9country as a Garden of Eden, which, a few generations late, sends them flood __10-ing out again to the suburbs.模拟12What is a black hole? Well, it is difficult to answer the question, as the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon __1are adequate here. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is __2a region of space which matter has fallen and from which nothing can __3escape—not even light. But we can’t see a black hole. A black hole __4exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only space—or thus we think. How can this happen? __5The theory is that some stars explode when their density increases to a particular point; they “collapse” and sometimes a supernova occurs.The collapse of a star may produce a “White Dwarf” of a “neutronstar”—a star which matter is so dense that it continually shrinks by the force of __6its own gravity. But if the star is very large, this process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole results in. Imagine the earth reduced to the __7size of a marble, but still having the same masses and a stronger __8gravitational pull, and you have some ideas of the force of a black hole. __9And no matter near the black hole is sucked in. __10。

They 1would know that in very cold conditions it bees a solid calledice and that when heating on a fire it bees a vapor called steam. 2However, water, they would say, is a liquid. We have learned that water consists of molecules posed with two atoms of hydrogen 3and one atom of oxygen, which we describe by the formula H2O.This is equally true of the solid called ice and the gas called steam.Chemically there is no difference between the gas, the liquid, andthe solid, all of which is made up of molecules with the formula H2O. 4This is true of other chemical substances; most of them can exist asgases or as liquids or as solids. We may normally think of iron as asolid, but if we will heat it in a furnace, it willmelt and bee a 5liquid, and at very high temperatures it will bee a gas. Nothingvery permanent ours when a gas changes into a liquid or a solid.Everyone knows that ice, which has been made byfreezing water,can be melted again by warmed and that steam can be condensed 6on a cold surface to bee liquid water. In fact, it is only becausewater is so a familiar substance that different names are used for 7the solid, liquid and gas. Most substances are only familiar with 8us in one state, because the temperatures requiring to turn them 9into gases are very high, or the temperatures necessary to turn theminto solids are so low. Water is an exception in this respect, whichis another reason why its three states have given three different names. 101. 改like为asdescribe sth as sth 是把……描述成……的意思。
