2014年成人英語三級考試練習題:挑錯

字號:

Whenever you see an old film, even one made as little as
    ten years before, you can’t help being strucked by the __1__
    appearance of the women taking part. Their hair styles and
    make-up look date; their skirts look either too long or too __2__
    short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicrous.
    The men taking part, on other hand, are clearly recognizable. __3__
    There is nothing about their appearance to suggest that
    they belong to an entire different age. This illusion is created __4__
    by changing fashions. Over the years, the great minority of men __5__
    have successfully resisted all attempts to make it change their __6__
    style of dress. The same cannot be said for women. Each year,
    a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down __7__
    on the law and women around the world run to obey. The __8__
    decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial.
    Sometime they decide arbitrarily, that skirts will be short and __9__
    waists will be height; hips are in and buttons are out. __10__
    參考答案及解析:
    1. strucked改為struck或者stricken
    過去分詞形式有誤。strike的過去式是struck,過去分詞為struck或者stricken。
    2. date改為dated或者outdated
    3. on other hand 改為 on the other hand
    4. entire改為entirely
    副詞修飾形容詞different,并與different一起修飾age。
    5. minority改為majority
    從上下文以及常識判斷,多半男性成功地抵制了改變他們服裝款式的企圖,即多年來,男性大服裝款式跟女性服飾相比沒有多大的變化。
    6. it改為them
    them指代the great majority of men。
    7. fewer改為few
    此處沒有比較的意味。
    8.去掉on
    lay down為習語,表示“規(guī)定(規(guī)則,原則,法規(guī)等)”。
    9. sometime改為 sometimes。
    10. height改為high
    形容詞作be 的表語。
