以下是上期New SAT的识别句子错误(Identifying sentence errors)的简明解释。

1. Susan and Peter /were inspired (A) to become /a professional writer (B) / after hearing (C) a famous journalist /speak about (D) the challenges of investigative reporting. No error. (E)

【解释】(B)改为professional writers，因为主语Susan and Peter是复数。

2. /Quick to (A) /take advantage (B) of Melanie Johnson’s /preoccupation in (C) the History of the Johnson family, the genealogist proposed investigating /that (D) history — for a large fee. No error. (E)

【解释】(C)应为preoccupation with。

3. Howard Gardner, an /observer of (A) Chinese elementary education, has questioned the view that

requiring young children /to copy (B) models /prevents (C) them from becoming /a creative artist (D) later in

life. No error. (E)

【解释】(D)应为creative artists. 注意：前面是them。

4. The labor union /is negotiating (A) a contract with the hospital /that (B) /will satisfy (C) the demands of

the workers and /be acceptable (D) to all levels of management.

No error. (E)

【解释】(E) No error。关系代词that指a contract，will satisfy…and [will] be acceptable平行。

5. The research study /reveals (A) startling proof of a /constant (B) changing seafloor that /comprises (C) the

major /part of (D) the underwater landscape. No error. (E)

【解释】(B)应为constantly，修饰changing。Constantly changing修饰seafloor。

6. /Since some (A) people are /convinced that (B) dowsing, a method of finding underground water with a

Y-shaped stick, is effective, but others condemn the procedure /as (C) /mere superstition.(D) No error. (E)

【解释】(A)应为Some，因为后面没有划线的but表明这句句子是并列句。

7. /Nearly all (A) of the editors of the magazine /agree (B) that of the two articles /to be published (C),

Fujimura’s is the /more exciting (D). No error. (E)

【解释】(E) No error. 两者之间比较，用比较级是对的。

8. The exchange between the teacher and the student /promotes (A) learning /far different (B) from that

which results /as (C) the student listens /but does not (D) participate.

No Error.(E)

【解释】(C)应为when。 实践证明经常访问无忧英语教育网 www.51education.net ,能迅速提高你的英语学习能力!积沙成塔,不断提高! 本站所提供的所有信息仅供学校课堂教学及英语学习者学习研究之用，其著作权归原作者及媒体所有。
