从本质上说,改错就是考查考生最基本的语法,词汇(包括固定短语搭配)掌握情况,难度应该是适中的,因此同学们一定得加强基本功的训练.但到现在这个阶段,“加强基本功”实在是不怎么现实,如何迅速提高同学们六级改错的正确率才是摆在眼前的首要问题.我通过对2004年1月至2007年1月全部改错题目的仔细分析,发现其命题有着很强的规律性,一些考点更是屡考不爽,这就为同学们最后阶段迅速提高改错成绩提供了可能.笔者想通过本文来揭示六级改错题的一些命题规律,总结“7大核心考点”,以期对同学们最后的冲刺复习有所帮助:

  1. 并列结构。

  这主要是指由and或or连接的几个并列成分在形式上必须保持一致.这一考点在历年六级改错中出现频率相当高,同学们要给予相当的重视.

  (1) At the heart of the NEA survey is the belief in(改成that,同位语从句)our democratic system depends on leaders who can think critically, analyze texts and writing clearly.(07年1月新六级改错第6题)这里的writing显然与think和analyze并列,因此应该用同样的形式,所以应该改成write.

  (2) Their experiments have shown that reading disorders are most likely the result of what is, in an effect(去掉an,固定介词搭配),faulty wiring in the brain-----not lazy, stupidity or a poor home environment .( 06年6月六级改错第4题)这里的lazy应该与stupidity和a poor home environment并列,因此该用名词形式laziness.

  (3) Restrict yourself to one or two pages, and listing any publications or referees on a separate sheet.(06年1月六级改错第7题)通过and将restrict和listing联系起来表示并列关系,所以listing应该用原形list.

  (4) How do you know how to act in a classroom,

  or a department store, or toward a person who

  smiles or laugh at you?(04年6月六级改错第9题)

  这里的smiles和laugh肯定应该用同样的形式,而前面的

  a person又提示我们该使用第三人称单数,所以将laugh改成laughs.

  (5)Most experts believe this can continue even as

  if(去掉as,这里的even if表示即使)the population doubles by the mid-21st century, although feeding

  10 billion people will not be easy for politics,

  economic and environmental reasons.(04年1月六级改错第6题)同样,这里的politics应该改成political和

  economic, environmental并列。

  (6)Elsewhere, rice experts in the Philippines are

  producing a plant with few stems and more seeds.

  (04年1月六级改错第9题)few应该与more形成对应,所以应改成比较级形式fewer.

       2.A--A型错误。

  所谓A--A型错误,就是指六级改错命题经常将形容词(adjective)与副词(adverb)混淆.这时我们的任务就是将文中的形容词换成它的副词形式,或将副词换成形容词:

  (1)Science should not only be“fun”in the same way

  as playing a video game, but “hard fun”----a deep

  feeling of connection made possibly only by

  imaginative engagement.(07年1月老六级改错第10题)我们都知道make sth possible, possible做为宾语补足语,那用被动语态就是sth be made possible,所以这里的possibly应该改成possible.

  (2)Mass literacy is a relative new social goal.(06年6月六级改错第九题)显然这里表示“相对地”意思,因此要将relative改成它的副词形式relatively.注意:relative改成relatively不是第一次出现了,在04年1月的改错题中也出现过。

  (3)A good CV is your passport to an interview and,

  ultimate, to the job you want.(06年1月六级改错第二题) ultimate在两个逗号之间,肯定得用副词形式ultimately.

  (4)She says efforts are continuing to complete end

  the disease.(05年1月六级改错第三题)complete要改成副词形式completely修饰动词end。

  (5)The WHO has given multi-drug therapy to patients

  freely for the last five years.(05年1月六级改错第九题)可以看出这里freely想表示“免费的”意思,所以应该改成形容词形式free.

  (5)Culture is essentially to our humanness.(04年6月六级改错第8题)be essential to是一个固定搭配,表示“对...

  很重要”,所以essentially应该换成形容词essential.

  (6)Except for relative-isolated trouble spots like pres-

  ent-day Somalia…(04年1月第三题)显然应该用副词relatively来修饰动词过去分词isolated,表示“相对隔绝的”。

  注意:A--A题错误有一种变体题型A—N.所谓A—N题型,

  就是指A(adjective)与N(noun)之间的混淆,举例如下:

  (1)Now what started in schools across the country is

  playing itself out on a nation stage and is possibly

  having an impact on the reading habits of the Ameri-

  can public.(07年1月新六级第十题)“在国内舞台”应该是on a national stage,在这里名词nation要改成它的形容词形式national。

  (2)Understanding the original of the negative attit-

  udes towards science may help us to modify them.

  (07年1月老六级第四题)表示“起源”显然要用名词形式

  origin,这里用形容词original是错误的。

The new media in the United States consists of radio, television and
newspaper. Together they influenced the lives of many Americans. Most ___1___
Americans begin their day with reading the newspaper or watching a ___2___
morning news program. Throughout the day the news is broadcasting ___3___
repeatedly on the radio and television. In the evening news is a prime
virtue on television with up to two hours of news in the early evening ___4___
and more news later at night. For those who pefer reading , the evening ___5___
newspapers provide them the possibility of reading the news. ___6___
The news media must interest the public , and it is a big business.
Therefore, it is very competetive since stations or papers compete with ___7___
each other for listeners and readers. Each tries to present the latest news
that Americans want to know. When it comes to an item such that an ___8___
election , all the news media will report the same. As a result listeners,
viewers or readers may find it hard to choose and complaining. ___9___
Nevertheless, most Americans will not criticize their news media too hard,
its credibility is generally acknowledged and accepted by the American ___10___
public.

答案及解析:

1. influenced -> influence
根据上下文的时态可以判断,这里应该用一般现在时。

2. with -> by
begin…by doing sth意为“以…方式开始”。

3. broadcasting -> broadcast / broadcasted
根据意思,新闻应该是通过电台和电视(被)播放的,所以要用被动语态。

4. virtue -> feature
virtue意为“优点,美德”;feature意为“特点,特色”。根据上下文语境,此处的意思应该是用“特色”,所以要将virtue改为feature。

5. later -> late
late at night意为“在深夜”。

6. them后加with
此处是固定搭配provide sb with sth,意为“给某人提供..”,还有另一种同义表达就是provide sth for sb。

7. Therefore -> However

8. that -> as
such as 后接名词或名词短语(作列举),such that后须接从句。

9. complaining -> complain
此处complain与choose是并列关系,

10. its -> whose
由于逗号后没有并列连词,所以断定逗号前后两句不是并列关系,只能是主从关系,所以将形容词性物主代词改为关系代词。此处whose引导非限制性定语从句修饰逗号前的news media。

Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a
different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel
pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wonder whether ___1___
they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like
children and may have had considerable experience with them, but ___2___
others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with
them. Many fathers and mothers have being planning and looking ___3___
forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy
was an accident what both husband and wife have accepted willingly ___4___
or unwillingly.
What the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the ___5___
shift from the role of husband to that of father is a different task. Yet,
unfortunate, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this ___6___
resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written
on American mothers, only recently have literature focused on the role ___7___
of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father's role,
although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife
must make for the mother's role. The mother's role seems to require a ___8___
complete tranformation in daily routine and highly innovative(创新的)
adaption, on the other hand, the father's role is less demanding
and in immediate. However, even as we mentione the fact that growing ___9___
numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still
thought by many the breadwinner in the household. ___10___

答案及解析:
1. wonder -> wondering
while 此处表转折,others worry与Some feel pride相对,表示不同的两种态度;逗号后的wonder...good fathers是对worry的具体阐述,为修饰部分,二者是从属关系。现在分词可以作状语,表示伴随情况、陪衬动作、附加说明以及表示时间、原因、条件等。故将wonder改为wondering。

2. but -> /
在让步状语从句中,although/though和but不能同时运用,二者只能保留其一。所以将but去掉。

3. being -> been

4. what -> which / that
此处what引导的从句中缺宾语,what引导从句时相当于the thing which/ that,在此,the thing是accident,因此确定what用错了。定语从句中,先行词为物时,从句由which或that来引导。

5. What -> Whatever
此处Whatever引导让步状语从句。

6. unfortunate -> unfortunately
Unfortunate为形容词,不能衔接句子。一些副词可独立成句,置于句中火句尾,起强调、转折或解释作用,如ultimately/evidently/obviously等。

7. have -> has
only置于句首修饰状语时,句子要部分倒装,故have提前。本句的主语是literature,主谓在数上应保持一致,故将have改为has。

8. for -> to
transition to为固定搭配,意为"向...转变"。

9. as -> though
由however和even可推断,该句含有转折意味,而as只表示原因、时间、和伴随,且很少与even搭配。even though为固定搭配,意为"虽然,尽管",可以引导让步状语从句,表示转折。

10. the 前加as
breadwinner意为"挣钱养家的人";be thought as为固定用法,意为"被看作是..."。
