second, larger opera house to complement the famous Paris Opera.

A．has decided that Paris needs

B．decided that Paris needs

C．has decided that Paris will need

D．decided that Paris has a need ofE．has decided that Paris needed

正确答案：B

解析：由句首的表过去的时间状语at a recent session表明主句应该用一般过去时，A、D、E中用现在完成时，属时态混用，B比D简洁，用一个动词needs代替了4个词has a need of，that从句用一般现在时表示客观事实。 知识模块：语法改错

2． Those with a cynical turn of mind might speculate if the new corporation,

C．speculate if,in its eagerness for profit, the new corporation started

D．wonder as to whether, in its eagerness for profit, the new corporation did not

startE．wonder whether the new corporation, eager for profit, had started

正确答案：E

解析：根据袁“是否”的名词性从句用whether而不用if引导的原则，排除A、B、C。D在从句中加了not，刚好颠倒句意；C、D中的in its eagerness for proft与E中的eager for profit相比，后者更简洁。 知识模块：语法改错

正确答案：A

解析：本句recommend之后要求跟带虚拟语气动词的宾语从句；B中should是多余的；C、D、E中，an applicant与其后的they(them)在数上是不对应的，除此之外，B、C、D、E对句意的表达都不如A简洁明了。 知识模块：语法改错

4． Though the term “graphic design” may suggest laying out corporate

brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging work, from

C．suggest corporate brochures and annual report layout, it has signified widely

ranging

D．have suggested corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified a

wide range ofE．have suggested laying out corporate brochures and annual reports,

they have come to signify widely ranging

正确答案：B

解析：D、E中的have与单数主语the term主谓不一致的；同时A、E中的they指代错误，在此位置本应用it指代the term；C中，widely ranging work的表达是不符合习惯的，应该用B中的awide range of work，同时，B中has come to

signify取代了C中的has signified，强调了“这是一个逐渐的过程，由原来较窄的范围逐渐扩大到一个更广的应用天地”。 知识模块：语法改错

5． Parliament did not accord full refugee benefits to twelve of the recent

immigrants because it believed that to do it rewards them for entering the country

illegally.

A．to do it rewards

B．doing it rewards

C．to do this would reward

D．doing so would rewardE．to do it would reward

正确答案：D

解析：公理中讲过，对前面动作的替代是用do so而不是do it，因此本题仅D符合此条件。值得注意的是：D中用would，表明了一种虚拟语气，即“如果这样做将会鼓励非法偷渡。”(暗示它并未做此事) 知识模块：语法改错

6． As business grows more complex, students majoring in specialized areas like

those of finance and marketing have been becoming increasingly successful in the job

market.

A．majoring in specialized areas like those of finance and marketing have been

becoming increasingly

B．who major in such specialized areas as finance and marketing are becoming

more and more

C．who majored in specialized areas such as those of finance and marketing are

being increasingly

D．who major in specialized areas like those of finance and marketing have been

becoming more and moreE．having majored in such specialized areas as finance and

marketing are being increasingly

正确答案：B

解析：举例用such as而不用like，排除A、D；B中those of多余；同时，A、C、E中用increasingly修饰successful是不恰当的，不如用more and more更准确；C、E中用are being的表达是不能够接受的；E中现在分词的完成体是不可以作定语的(查阅分词一章)。本句B中用现在进行时替代了A中的have been

becoming的在完成进行时是准确的，因为本句并无任何一点线索暗示动作become是从过去某一时段开始并持续到现在，且有可能到将来；相反，时间状语只表示主句动作与从句动作是同时的，且是现在的动作。 知识模块：语法改错
