专八改错题及答案
2010年专八真题改错部分
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 well equipped as any other to say 1________________
the things their speakers want to say. 2________________
There may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive 3________________
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 . Whereas this is not the 4_____________
fault of their language. The Eskimos , it is said, can speak about
snow with further more precision and subtlety than we can in 5______________
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 come to light a defect 6______________
in English, a show of unexpected 'primitiveness'. The position is
simply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in similar 7____________
environments. The English language will be just as rich in terms 8____________
for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which
Englishwas habitually used made such distinction as important. 9_____________
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 the part of the Eskimos' life. 10____________

09专八改错原题
The previous section has shown how quickly a rhyme passes
from one school child to the next and illustrates the further difference
(1)___________
between school lore and nursery lore. In nursery lore a verse,
learnt in early childhood, is not usually passed on again when the
(2)___________
little listener has grown up, and has children of their own, or even (3)____________
grandchildren. The period between learning a nursery rhyme and
transmitting it may be something from twenty to seventy years. With (4)_____________
the playground lore, therefore, a rhyme may be excitedly passed (5)___________
on within the very hour it is learnt; and in the general, it passes (6)_____________
between children of the same age, or nearly so, since it is uncommon
for the difference in age between playmates to be more than five
years. If ,therefore, a playground rhyme can be shown to have been
currently for a hundred years, or even just for fifty, it follows that it (7)__________
has been retransmitted over and over; very possibly it has passed (8)___________
along a chain of two or three hundred young hearers and tellers, and
the wonder is that it remains live after so much handling, (9)____________
to let alone that it bears resemblance to the (10)____________
答案分析:

(3)their改为his(代词与前文a little listener在单复数上保持一致)
(4)something 改为anything 此处指二十到七十的任何时段
(5)therefore改为however (根据上下文逻辑关系)
(6) in the general去掉the (习惯用法in general 表示总的来说,一般不用冠词)
(7) currently 改为current (这里起的是表语的作用,需要形容词而不是副词)
(8) it has passed改为 it has been passed (与分号前的被动保持一致)
(9) live 改为 alive alive翻译为“鲜活的”,一般作补语;live翻译为“现场转播的;活的”,一般作定语
(10) to let alone改为 let alone (let alone 为习惯搭配,意思是“更不用说
2008年专八真题 短文改错
The desire to use language as a sign of national identity is a
very natural one, and in result language has played a prominent ____1____
part in national moves. Men have often felt the need to cultivate ____2____
a given language to show that they are distinctive from another ____3____
race whose hegemony they resent. At the time the United States ____4____
split off from Britain, for example, there were proposals that
independence should be linguistically accepted by the use of a ____5____
different language from those of Britain. There was even one ____6____
proposal that Americans should adopt Hebrew. Others favoured
the adoption of Greek, though, as one man put it, things would
certainly be simpler for Americans if they stuck on to English ____7____
and made the British learn Greek. At the end, as everyone ____8____
knows, the two countries adopted the practical and satisfactory
solution of carrying with the same language as before. ____9____
Since nearly two hundred years now, they have shown the world ____10____
that political independence and national identity can be complete
without sacrificing the enormous mutual advantages of a common language.

From what has been said, it must be clear that no one can
make very positive statements about how language originated.
There is no material in any language today and in the earliest 1__________
records of ancient languages show us language in a new and 2__________
emerging state. It is often said, of course, that the language 3_________
originated in cries of anger, fear, pain and pleasure, and the 4__________
necessary evidence is entirely lacking:
there are no remote
tribes, no ancient records, providing evidence of
a language with a large proportion of such cries 5__________
than we find in English. It is true that the absence
of such evidence does not disprove the theory, but in 6__________
other grounds too the theory is not very attractive.
People of all races and languages make rather similar
noises in return to pain or pleasure. The fact that 7___________
such noises are similar on the lips of Frenchmen
and Malaysians whose languages are utterly different,
serves to emphasize on the fundamental difference 8___________
between these noises and language proper. We may
say that the cries of pain or chortles of amusement
are largely reflex actions, instinctive to large extent, 9____________
whereas language proper does not consist of signs
but of these that have to be learnt and that are 10___________
wholly conventional
1, 改and为or, any languagages today or recordsof ancient languages 是并列成分,在否定句中用or
2, 改show为showing, 现在分词作定语
3, 删除the, 表示泛指
4, 改and为but, 根据语境此处是转折
5,改 large为larger, 后面有than, 应该用比较级
6, 改in为on, on other grounds “ 基于其它理由”,为固定搭配
7,改return为response , in response to “对……作出反应”
8,删除on, emphasize sth emphasize是及物动词
9,在large前加a, extent 是可数名词,前面要加冠词。
"to a large extent"翻译为“在很大程度上”
10,改 these为 those those that/who为固定形式
2006专八短文改错
We use language primarily as a means of communication with
other human beings. Each of us shares with the community in which we
live a store of words and meanings as well as agreeing conventions as 1_______
to the way in which words should be arranged to convey a particular 2_______
message:
the English speaker has in his disposal vocabulary and a 3_______
set of grammatical rules which enables him to communicate his 4_______
thoughts and feelings, in a variety of styles, to the other English 5_______
speakers. His vocabulary, in particular, both that which he uses active-
ly and that which he recognises, increases in size as he grows
old as a result of education and experience. 6_________
But, whether the language store is relatively small or large, the system
remains no more than a psychological reality for the individual, unless
he has a means of expressing it in terms able to be seen by another 7_________
member of his linguistic community; he bas to give the system a
concrete transmission form. We take it for granted the two most 8____________
common forms of transmission-by means of sounds produced by our
vocal organs (speech) or by visual signs (writing). And these are 9_____________
among most striking of human achievements. 10____________
1, 改agreeing为agreed agreed conventions翻译为“习俗”
2,words前加the, 此处为特指
3,改in为at at one‟s disposal为固定短语,翻译为“由某人做主”
4, 改enables为enable,定语从句与先行词vocabulary and a set of grammatical rules保持一致
5,删除the, 此处需要泛指
6,改 old为older, 此处需要比较级
7, 改seen为understood,system应该是被理解
8., 删除it take sth for granted take it for granted that…
9, 改 or为and ,语境需要并列关系而不需选择关系
10, most前加the, 形容词最高级中that一般不能省略
