新六级－综合改错题四(2) 答案解析：1.本题中应该将that改为which.“that”不能作为介词宾语的关系代词，而只能使用which.2.本题中应该将this改为these.根据上下文可知此处应该指代为conversation lessons3.本题中应该将that改为as或者删去such.此句中that引导后面定语从句修饰前面mental food，然后却不能和such一起使用，因此必须修改其中一处。

“such…as…”也可以引导定语从句的固定搭配，因此可将that改为as.另一种办法是删去such，原句则变为that引导的定语从句。

4.本题中应该将one改为ones.该处one根据文意应该指代的是bodies.5.本题中应该在he之后加上关系代词whom.根据上下文可知，这里“hehad brought there to see his experiment”为前面“some friends”的非限定性定语从句，然后却没有关系代词，使得句子结构不完整，显然，必须在he前面加上人称关系代词whom.6.本题中应该将where改为that或者which.该处where为关系副词，而原句中缺少一个关系代词，既指代前文的“the place”，又作为“visited”的宾语。

7.本题中应该将which改为whose.原句中“which door”并非指代先行词“house”，而是属于其中的部分之一，应该使用关系代词的所有格形式whose.8.本题中应该将which改为whose.道理同上。

9.本题中应该将that改为what.原句中“some people imagine to be”结构不完整，缺少主语，而that引导名词性从句时只起引导作用，不在句中作任何成分。

10.本题中应该将in删去。

定语从句引导词“which”在引导后面定语从句“he is creating”时充当其宾语成分，因为create为及物动词，后面必须接宾语才可以符合语法规则。

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 may even have entered the shopjust to find shelters away a sudden shower. --72.Whatever the reasons, you can soon become totallyunaware of your surroundings. The desire to pickup a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible, even this method of selection ought --73. not to be followed, as you might end up with arather bored book. 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, no assistant 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 hisservices necessary. Of course, you may want tofind out where a particular section is, since when he --79. has led you there, the assistant should retirediscreetly and look as he is not interested in --80.selling a single book.答案：71. if -- whether72.

Everyonetalks about a good game, but the winner goes outand do something. To win, there has to be movement --73.and physical action. Attitudes and persistence canhelp us become who we want to be. --74.Competition is the best motivator. Because --75.many people use competition as an excuse for notdoing something, those who really want to success --76.see competition as an opportunity, and they'rewilling to do the tough work necessarily to win. --77.Learn to deal with fear.

People worry so much --78. about failing that their fear paralyzes them,drained the energy they might otherwise be using to --79. grow.You can cultivate self-respect by developing a commitment to your own talents. It may benecessary to do the thing you fear the most inorder to put that fear in rest, so that it can no --80. longer control you.答案：71. focused72. Deep73. does74. what75. While/Although76. succeed77. necessary78. risks79. draining80. to第四篇：Error Correction (15 minutes)Changes in the way people live bring about changes in thejobs that they do. More and more people live in towns and citiesinstead 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.Dishwashers and washing machines do jobs that were once doneby the hand. The widespread use of such electrical appliances --74.means that there is a need for servicemen to keep it running --75.properly.People are earning higher wages and salaries. This leads --76.changes in the way of life. As income goes down, people may not --77. want more food to eat or more clothes to wear. But they maywant more and better care from doctors, dentists and hospitals.They are likely to travel more and to want more education Nevertheless, many more jobs are available in these services. --78.The government also affects the kind of works people do. --79.The governments of most countries spend huge sums of moneyfor international defense. They hire thousands of engineers, --80. scientists, clerks, typists and secretaries to work on the manydifferent aspects of defense.答案：71.

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 → h is63. 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 interesti ng.Interviews are also a good way to get a sampling of people's opinions on various questions.

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.

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. These legends were no longer believed --77. when the explorations of Americans began, but after More'stime they became common for writers to imagine there places. --78.

Every normal person isexpert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, and --71--few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncingforeign languages. Now there are many reasons about this, --72-- some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggestthat the fundamental reason why people in general do notspeak foreign languages very better than they do is that --73--they fail to grasp the true name of the problem of learningto pronounce, and consequently never set about tacklingit by the right way. Far too many people fail to realize --74--that pronounce a foreign language is a skill, one that --75--needs careful training of a special kind, and one thatcannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of himself. --76--I think even teachers of language, while recognizing theimportance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerning with speaking the --77-- language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher may be prepared to --78-- devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his wholeattitude to the subject he should get the student to feelthat here is a matter worth of receiving his close attention. --79--So, there should be occasions where other aspects of English, --80--such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment totake a secondary place.答案：71.and→but。

Have an iPod.Taking a step that many professors may view as a bit counterproductive, so me colleges and universities are doling out Apple iPhones and Internet-cap able iPods to their students.The always-on Internet devices raise some novel possibilities, like tracking where students gather together. With far less controversy, colleges could s end messages about canceled classes, delayed buses, campus crises or just the cafeteria menu.While schools emphasize its usefulness —online research in class and inst ant polling of students, for example — a big part of the attraction is, undou btedly, that the iPhone is cool and a hit with students. Being equipped with one of the most recent cutting-edge IT products could just help a college o r university foster a cutting-edge reputation.Apple stands to win as well, hooking more young consumers with decadesof technology pur- chases ahead of them. The lone losers, some fear, could be professors.Students already have laptops and cell phones, of course, but the newest de vices can take class distractions to a new level. They practically beg a user to ignore the long-suffering professor strug- gling to pass on accumulated wisdom from the front of the room — a prospect that teachers find most irr itating and students view as, well, inevitable.“ When it gets a little boring, I might pull it out,‖acknowledged Naomi P ugh, a first-year student at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Ter m., referring to her new iPod Touch, which can connect to the Internet ove r a campus wireless network. She speculated that professors might try even harder to make classes interesting if they were to compete with the devices. Experts see a movement toward the use of mobile technology in educati on, though they say it is in its infancy as professors try to come up with us eful applications. Providing powerful hand- held devices is sure to fuel deb ates over the role of technology in higher education.“ We think this is the way the future is going to work,‖said Kyle Dickson, co-director of re- search and the mobile learning initiative at Abilene Chris tian University in Texas, which has bought more than 600 iPhones and 300 iPods for students entering this fall.Although plenty of students take their laptops to class, they don’t take the m everywhere and would prefer something lighter. Abilene Christian settle d on the devices after surveying students and finding that they did not like hauling around their laptops, but that most of them always carried a cell ph one, Dr. Dickson said.It is not clear how many colleges and universities plan to give out iPhones and iPods this fall; officials at Apple were unwilling to talk about the subje ct and said that they would not leak any institution plans’s.“ We can’t announce other people’s news,‖saidGreg Joswiak, vice presid ent of iPod and iPhone marketing at Apple. He also said that he could not d iscuss discounts to universities for bulk purchases.At least four institutions — the University of Maryland, Oklahoma Christi an University, Abilene Christian and Freed-Hardeman — have announced t hat they will give the devices to some or all of their students this fall.Other universities are exploring their options. Stanford University has hire d a student-run com-pany to design applications like a campus map and dir ectory for the iPhone. It is considering whether to issue iPhones but not sur e it, snecessary, noting that more than 700 iPhones were registered on the u niversity network’s last year.At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, iPhones might alreadyhave been everywhere, if AT&T, the wireless carrier offering the iPhone in the United States,had a more reliable network, said Andrew Yu, mobile devices platform pro ject manager at M.I.T.“ We would have probably gone ahead with this, maybe just getting a thou sand iPhones and giving them out, ‖Mr. Yusaid.The University of Maryland at College Park is proceeding cautiously, givi ng the iPhone or iPod Touch to 150 students, said Jeffrey Huskamp, vice p resident and chief information officer at the university. ― Wedon’t think tha t we have all the answers, Mr‖. Huskamp said. By observing how students use the gadgets, he said,― We’ retrying to get answers from the students. ‖ At each college, the students who choose to get an iPhone must pay for mo bile phone service. Those service contracts include unlimited data use. Both the iPhones and the iPod Touch devices can connect to the Internet throu gh campus wireless networks. With the iPhone, those networks may provid e faster connections and longer battery life than A T&T’s data network. Many cell phones allow users to surf the Web, but only some newer ones are c apable of wireless connection to the local area computer network. University officials say that they have no plans to track their students (and Apple said it would not be possible unless students give their permission). They say that they are drawn to the prospect of learning applications outsid e the classroom, though such lesson plans have yet to surface.“ My colleagues and I are studying something called augmented reality (a field of computer research dealing with the combination of real-world and virtual reality), said‖ Christopher Dede, professor in learning technologies at Harvard University. ― AlienContact, for‖ example, is an exer- cise develo ped for middle-school students who use hand-held devices that can determi ne their location. As they walk around a playground or other area, text, vid eo or audio pops up at various points to help them try to figure out why ali ens were in the schoolyard.“ You can imagine similar kinds of interactive activities along historical li nes, ‖like following the Freedom Trail in Boston, Professor Dede said.― It’s important that we do research, so that we know how well something like this works. ‖The rush to distribute the devices worries some professors, who say that st udents are less likely to participate in class if they are multi-tasking. ― I ’m n ot someone who’s anti-technology, but I,m always worried that technology becomes an end in and of itself, and it replaces teaching or it replaces analysis,, said’Ellen Millender, associate professor of classics at Reed College in Portland, Ore. (She added that she hoped to buy an iPhone for herself on ce prices fall.)Robert Summers, who has taught at Cornell Law School for about 40 years,announced this week — in a detailed, footnoted memorandum — that he would ban laptop computers from his class on contract law.“ I would ban that too if I knew the students were using it in class, Profes‖sor Summers said of the iPhone, after the device and its capabilities were e xplained to him. ― Whatwe want to encour- age in these students is an activ e intellectual experience, in which they develop the wide range of complex reasoning abilities required of good lawyers. ‖The experience at Duke University may ease some concerns. A few years a go, Duke began giving iPods to students with the idea that they might use t hem to record lectures (these older models could not access the Internet).“ We had assumed that the biggest focus of these devices would be consu ming the content, said‖ Tracy Futhey, vice president for informationtechn ology and chief information officer at Duke.But that is not all that the students did. They began using the iPods to creat e their own ― content, making‖ audio recordings of themselves and presenti ng them. The students turned what could have been a passive interaction in to an active one, Ms. Futhey said. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 1 上作答。

The twist with Joseph Cohen, Dan Getelman and Jim Grandpre is that their start-up aims to improve how universities work. In May 2011 the three founders quit the University of Pennsvlvania. to launch Coursekit,soon renamed as Lore.whichhas already raised $ 6m to develop what Mr. Cohen, its 21-year-old chief executive, describes as a social-learning network for the classroom".Lore is part of a trend that builds on the familiarity with social networking that has come with the success of Facebook. It customizes the rules of a network to meet the specific needs of students. Anyone teaching a class would reasonably worry that students using Facebook were gossiping rather than learning useful information from their network of friends. Lore allows teachers to control exactly who is in the network by issuing a class-membership code and to see how they are using it. They can also distribute course materials, contact students, manage tests and grades, and decide what to make public and what to keep private. Students can also interact with each other.In the academic year after launching its first version last November, Lore was used in at least one class in 600 diversities and colleges. Its goal for its second year, about to begin, is to spread rapidly within those 600 institutions, not least to see what the effects of scale are from having lots of classes signed up within the same institution.The firm has a fast-growing army of fans in the faculty common room. Lore, says Edward Boches, who uses it for his advertising classes at Boston University, makes teaching "more interactive, extends it beyond the classroom and stimulates students to learn from each other rather than just the professor."Among other challenges for the company, there remains the small matter offiguring out a business model. For the moment it has none. Mr. Cohen hopes that eventually Lore could become the primary marketplace for everything from courses to textbooks, but so far the service is free and carries no advertising. Blackboard, the industry incumbent (占有者), charges users for its course-management software. It remains to be seen how it will respond to the upstart(新贵).The lack of a plan does not appear to bother Lore's founders or investors, -who seem content to learn a lesson from another university drop-out, Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook: achieve critical mass in your network and the profits will follow. And after that perhaps they can expect an honorary degree from the a/ma mater(母校).56. What do we learn from the first paragraph about Lore?A．It specializes in producing old hats.B．It aims to improve the way universities work.C．It invests $ 6m in the development of social network.D．It promotes the communication among classmates.57. What does Lore enable teachers to do?A．Meet specific needs of students.B．Learn useful information from friends.C．Control the online class membership.D．Monitor students' personal privacy.58. For its second-year goal, Lore is to __A．increase fans in the faculty common roomB．launch its second version in 600 universitiesC．make more classes from 600 institutions signed upD．spread its influence within the same institution59. Concerning the prospect of Lore, Mr. Cohen expects it toA．confront with Blackboard as an equalB．offer free service to the advertisersC．cover businesses from courses to textbooksD．Develop its own come-management software60. What do we learn about Lore's founders?A．They can't be bothered to design a business model.B．They learn a lesson from the success of Facebook.C．They will not make profits without drawing mass users.D．They desire to receive an honorary degree from the alma mater.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.A bull grazes on dry wheat husks(Phi) in Logan, Kansas, one of the regions hit by the record drought that has affected more than half of the U. S. and is expected to drive up food prices.Leadinu water scientists have issued one of the sternest warnings yet about global food supplies, saying that the world's population may have to switch almost completely to a vegetarian diet over the next 40 years to avoid catastrophic shortages.Adopting a vegetarian diet is one option to increase the amount of water available to grow more food in an increasingly climate-unstable world, the scientists said. Animal protein-rich food consumes 5 to 10 times more water than a vegetarian diet. One third of the world's arable(适于耕种的) land is used to grow crops to feed animals. Other options to feed people include eliminating waste and increasing trade between countries in food surplus and those in deficit."900 million people already go hungry and 2 billion people are malnourished in spite of the fact that per capita food production continues to increase," they said. "With 70% of all available water being in agriculture, growing more food to feed an additional 2 billion people by 2050 will place greater pressure on available water and land."The report is being released at the start of the annual world water conference in Stockholm, Sweden, where 2,500 politicians, UN bodies, non-governmental groups and researchers from 120 countries meet to address global water supply problems.Competition for water between food production and other uses will intensifypressure on essential resources, the scientists said. "The UN predicts that we must increase food production by 70% by mid-century. This will place additional pressure on our 'already stressed water resources, at a time when we also need to allocate more water to satisfy global energy demand--which is expected to rise 60% over the coming 30 years--and to generate electricity for the 1.3 billion people currently without it," said the report.Overeating, undernourishment and waste are all on the rise and increased food production may face future constraints from water scarcity."We will need a new recipe to feed the world in the future," said the report's editor, Anders Jagerskog.A separate report from the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) said the best way for countries to protect millions of farmers from food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia was to help them invest in small pumps and simple technology, rather than to develop expensive, large-scale irrigation projects."Farmem across the developing world are increasingly relying on and benefiting from small-scale,locally-relevant water solutions. These techniques could increase yields up to 300% and add tens of billions of U. S. dollars to household revenues across sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia.
