本期重點： 平行結構
平行結構錯誤主要指在并列連接詞and前后語法結構不對等、不平行。其它并列連詞還有but, as well as, or, or else, both … and, neither … nor, either … or, not only … but (also)等可連接兩個對等的詞和對等的結構。
考點例析
1：Computeranalyzed marketing reports can help deciding
which products to emphasize now,which to develop for
the future, and which to be dropped. ____________
解析：本句中三個平行成份which products to emphasize now, which to develop和which to be dropped結構模式應該一致，均采用不定式主動語態(tài)，因而to be dropped應改為to drop。（注：在四六級考試中，短文改錯只能修改、刪除或添加一個單詞，不能同時改動兩個。本例題旨在反映平行結構的語法性質。）
例2：At the heart of the NEA survey is the belief that our
democratic System depends on leaders who can think
critically, analyze texts and writing clearly. ___________
解析：can后面有三個并列的謂語動詞，因此writing應改成與think, analyze并列的動詞原形write。
例3：Atrophy is a decrease in size of a cell, organ, tissues, or other part of the body. _______
解析;：并列連詞or連接四項名詞結構，其中cell 和organ皆為單數(shù)形式，故tissues應改為單數(shù)tissue。
