第一篇：Error Correction (15 minutes)Most studies suggest that when women and men do thesame job and have the experience, pay rates tend to besimilar. Most of the dollar differences stem from fact that -------71. women tend to be more recently employed and have more -------72. years on the job. Whether women who have started a careerwill attain pay equality with men rest on at least two factors. -------73. First, will most of them continue part time at their jobs after -------74. they have children? A break in their employment, or a decision -------75. to work part time, will slow its raises and promotionsbecause it would for men. Second, will male-dominated -------76. companies elevate women to higher-paid jobs at the different -------77. rate as they elevate men? On some fields, this had clearly not -------78. happened. Many men, for example, have committed their -------79. lives to teaching careers, yet relative few have become -------80. principals or headmasters.答案：71. from fact -> from the fact72. recently -> frequently73. rest -> rests74. part -> full75. its -> their76. because -> as77. different -> same78.

You soon become engrossed in --74.some book or other, and usually it is only muchlater that you realise you have spent far much --75.time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment -- without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities ofeveryday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is impossible to do this. A music shop is very much --76. like a bookshop. You can wander round such placesto your heart's content. If it is a good shop, noassistant will approach to you with the inevitable --77. greeting: "Can I help you, Sir?" You needn't buy anything if you don't want. In a bookshop anassistant should remain the background until you --78. have finished browsing. Then, only then, are his services necessary.

More and more people live in towns and cities instead on farms and in villages. Cities and states have to provide --71. services city people want, such like more police protection, more --72. hospitals, and more schools. This means that more policemen,more nurses and technicians, and more teachers must be hired. Advances in technology has also changed people's lives. --73.

In the eighteenth century farmerswere quite self-sufficient. The farm family grew and made almost nothing it needed. The surplus crop would be sold to buy a new --71. items in the local general store.In 1860, because some of the farm population had moved to --72.the city, yet eighty percent of the American population was still inthe country. In the late nineteen century, farm work and life --73.were not much changed from that they had been in old days. The --74. farmer aroused at dawn or before and had much work to do, with --75. his own muscles like his chief source of power. He used axes, --76. spades and other complicated tools. In his house cooking was done --77. in wood-burning stoves, and the kerosene lamp was the only improvement on the candle. The family's recreation and social life chiefly consisted a drive in the wagon to the nearby small town or --78. village to transact some business as well as to chat with neighborswho had also come to town.The children attended a small elementary school (often ofjust one room) to that they had to walk every day, possibly for a --79. few miles. The school term was short so that the children couldnot help on the farm. Although the whole family worked, and life --80. was not easy, farmers as a class were self-reliant and independent.答案：71. nothing --- everything72. because --- although73. nineteen --- nineteenth74. that --- what75. aroused --- rose/got up76. like --- as77. complicated --- simple78. consisted后加of79. that --- which80. and --- /第六篇：Error Correction (15 minutes)Living is risky. Crossing the road, driving a car,flying, swallowing an aspirin table or eating a chickensandwich-they can all be fatal.Clearly some risks worth taking, especially when the --61.rewards high: a man surrounded by flames and smokegenerally considers that jumping out of a second-floorwindow is an acceptable risk to save its life. But in --62.medicine a few procedures, drugs, operations or tests --63.are really a mater of life and death. There may besound medicine reasons are totally dependent --64.in the balance of risks and benefits for the --65.patients.Surgery for cancer may cure or prolong a life, butthe removal of tonsils(扁桃体）cannot save anything a --66.sore throat. Blood pressure drugs definitely help somepeople live after a heart attack, but these same drugsmay be both necessary and harmful for those with only --67.mild blood pressure problems.Deciding how much discomfort and risk we are preparing --68.to put up with in the name of better health is a high --69.personal matter, not a decision we should remain to --70.doctors alone.答案：61. risks ∧worth → are62. its → his63. a few → few64. medicine → medical65. in → on 或upon66. anything ∧a → but 或except67. necessary → unnecessary68. preparing → prepared 或ready 或willing69. high → highly70. remain → leave第七篇：Error Correction (15 minutes)A good way to get information for essays andreports is to interview people who are experts in --71. your topic or whose opinions may be interesting.

If you don't understand something theinterviewee has said, say politely and ask him or --77. her to clarify it or to give an example.5. Take notes, if the interviewee goes too slowly --78. for you, ask him or her to stop for a moment, especially if the point is important. A taperecorder lets you avoid this problem. Therefore, --79.be sure the interviewee agrees to be taped.6. As soon as possible after the interview, readover your notes.

Planet Earth will be crowded,dirty and lack of resources. A sort of exodus --71.of mankind will begin.Spaceships will be assembled so that theyrevolve around the earth. Some may orbit around Mars. These space stations will be serviced byspace buses. We saw the first space bus launch in --72. April 1981. This was "Columbia", it made several --73. orbits around the earth and then returned, landingon a huge dry lake bed in California. "Columbia"will be used again.

Such a place, however, is very good to be true: --72.such a place is nowhere, and that's what the word "Utopia"means. It is made up two Greek words meaning "not a place". --73.The word was first used by Thomas More, a sixteen century --74.English writer whose book Utopia, published in 1516,describing a perfect island country. More's idea for tale came --75.from Plato. Plato's The Republic described what would be aperfect state. Early legends told a perfect place existing --76.somewhere in Atlantic.

This has probably been the case in quite a while. During the --71. early stages of the industrial revolution. Perhaps one in every seventh --72. deaths in Europe's crowded cities were caused by the disease. From --73.now on, Though, western eyes, missing the global picture, saw the trouble going --74. into decline. With occasional breaks for war, the rates of death andinfection in the Europe and America dropped steadily through the 19th and --75.20th centuries. In the 1950s,the introduction of antibiotics(抗菌素)strengthened the trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were allowedto be imported to poor countries. Medical researchers declared victory and --76. withdrew. They are wrong. In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections and deaths --77. started to pick up again around the world. Where tuberculosis vanished, it --78.came back; in many places where it had never been away, it grew better. The --79.

In addition, --72-- life is always presenting new things to the child—thingsthat have lost their interesting for older people because --73-- they are too well-known. A child finds pleasure in playingin the rain, or in the snow. [JP+2]His first visit to theseaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks old --74-- people do; he is continually being told not to do things,or being punished for that he has done wrong. --75--His life is therefore not perfectly happy. --76--When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents;but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities.He can not longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortable. If he spends most of his time playing about in --77-- the way that he used to as a child, he will suffer hungry. --78-- And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to breakthe laws of his parents, he may go to prison.
