    十一、易混淆詞的使用錯誤
    英語詞匯中有很多詞在拼寫上、語義上很相似,如 assure/ensure , rise/arise/raise , effect/affect ,但是它們的用法卻迥然不同。這些易混淆的詞構(gòu)成六級改錯的一個重要錯誤類型,也是比較難的一種類型,這個需要考生在平時的學習過程中注意知識的積累,并多做些總結(jié)和歸納,從中找出一些規(guī)律。
    例 1  His persistence was awarded when the car finally started. 1.__________
    句中“ award ”是“頒發(fā),授予(獎賞)”之義,而文中要表達的意思是“汽車終于啟動了,那就是對他堅持不懈精神的回報”,應(yīng)把 award 改成 reward .
    例 2  Deciding how much discomfort and risk we are prepared
    to put up with in the name of better health is a highly
    personal matter, not a decision we should remain to doctors 1.__________
    alone.
    “ remain ”意為“保持,仍然”,是一個表示狀態(tài)的動詞,其用法和系動詞“ be ”相似,后面所接成分一般是名詞或形容詞,作表語,而“ leave sth. to sb. ”意思是“把某物留給某人”。本句很明顯是“ leave…to… ”的句型,所以應(yīng)該把 remain 改為 leave .
    例 3  Of course the press means more than newspaper. A vast
    amount of magazines are published, aimed at readers 1.__________
    interested in all sorts of subjects.
    因為 amount 表示數(shù)量時只與不可數(shù)名詞連用,而本句中后面所接名詞為“ magazines ”,是復數(shù)名詞,應(yīng)該使用表示復數(shù)形式的 number ,故應(yīng)該把 amount 改為 number .
    例 4  Today, flint has small importance as an industrial product. 1.__________
    “ small ”用于表示人或物的體積尺寸,不能修飾抽象名詞 importance ,因此應(yīng)把 small 改為可以修飾不可數(shù)抽象名詞的 little .
