考博英语辨错与改错就是从一个句子四个划线的找出一个错误并加以改正。句子的错误是多种多样的,涉及到语法、词汇和逻辑结构等方面,但通常以语法方面的错误为主。下面我们将辨错与改错测试中涉及到的语法要点和错误类型进行归类和分析,以帮助考生从中领悟出做这类试题的方法和技巧。 OoU '86)
(一)主、谓语不一致 7#~m:K@
句子中的谓语动词和主语在人称和数上不一致,这类试题主要涉及到以下四个方面: gpO_0U4lQ]
(1)主语后面有一个较长的定语或定语从句,该定语或定语从句的最后一个词,也就是谓语动词前的那个词的单数或复数一般与主语的单、复数相反,以此来干扰学生。 _z"ci$[

LBiv]3
(3)后面由with, as well as, rather than, along with, together with, in addition to, including等修饰的单数名词作主语时,其谓语动词也要用单数形式。 `'WY'\|C
例5 The president of the college , together with the deans, are planning a conference for the ?T%K +
A B C `QyALcO

D ~"4 vd 3
(4)由连词or, nor, neither… nor, either…or, not only… but also连接的两个名词,谓语形式要与它最接近的主语一致。 ,h)T(
例6 Neither her parents nor her teacher have persuaded her to change her mind. _-yF9g"I
(二)虚拟语气方面的错误 p6k'Q
做这类题考生首先要掌握虚拟语气的构成和主、从句的搭配,熟记常见的虚拟语气类型以及一些特殊用法,重点掌握下列常用的要引起虚拟语气的形容词和动词。 ~ dI&> CL
形容词:necessary, essential, urgent, imperative, possible, vital, desirable, important, natural.

A B CR|&VxA
scientific terminology(专门术语)so difficult to understand. jX8 C2}j
C D r(xlokpnb6
(三)非谓语动词的误用 ~[/c'3+4qn
这一类的试题设计比较灵活,如果考生对各种非谓语动词(动词不定式、动名词、分词)的句法功能及用法没有透彻的了解,对它们与谓语动词、逻辑主词、逻辑宾词和其他词类之间的搭配关系掌握得不好,就很难解题。比如,下列动词或词组后面只能跟动词分词:enjoy, finish, appreciate, avoid, miss(错过), mind(介意), deny, admit, keep, prevent, consider, look forward to, can not help, object to, turn to (求助于), adapt to,等等。 !Pjg&19
以上动词考生应重点掌握。 %Fm;LQa ]

(四)词序有误 3 &Zx*:
这一部分重点测试以疑问词引导的从句中的词序以及倒装句的词序,考生要重点掌握那些常用的出现在句首句子就必须倒装的词或词组,如:by no means, in no cases, under no circumstances, not only…but also, not until, never, nowhere等等。 >xMhA`l

(五)句子结构不对等 /4BXF4ksi,
句子结构的对等性要求在表达词法相同的成分时,动词与动词、名词与名词、词组与词组、从句与从句都要对等。常出现的错误有下列几种情况: ri V/wN9C
(1)并列连词and, but, as well as, or等连接的两上谓语形式、非谓语动词、从句结构等在形式上没保持一致。 +ANIm^@
例15 At school he found that he hated eating in the dining-room, studied for his chemistry class, Io X9yGq

(2)复合并列连词not only…but also, whether…or, both…and, either…or等连接的两个成分在词性和结构上不一致。 H<?yG->

(3)引起比较状语从句的从属连词as…as,…than连接的两个成分在结构上不一致,造成逻辑上的错误。 y>PbYjuIU

(六)形容词和副词的误用 $_kU)<e3
这类题往往在副词与形容词的修饰关系上出错。形容词一般只能修饰形容词,不能修饰形容词,而副词可以修饰形容词、动词等。 ^lj>v}4fkW

(七)可数与不可数名词的误用 *d 4D9(
例24 This sitting room would be much improved if you put a furniture in that corner. r>\.b{wI
A B C D \&fK 8H1
当然,在名词方面考生还应掌握下列两种情况。 /<~IKVz\&
(1)有些名词形式上是单数,实际上是复数,因此谓语动词要用复数,如people, police; GU`2I/R
(2)有些名词形式上复数,但意义上是单数。这类名词通常是以s结尾的科学名称和疾病名称,谓语动词要用单数,如physics, statistics, acoustics. 6*tGf`Pfdw
cqDnZ`|6
(八)时态和语态方面的错误 2cL<`
做这类题,首先要确定句子是主动还是被动关系,还要搞清前后时态是否一致。 kmwFw>#

(九)固定搭配不当 4?`7XJ0a
1.动词、名词和形容词与某个特定的介词的搭配 o/&Q^^Xj^~
例27 Exploratory investigations reveal that Alaska is capable to producing 45 to 55 percent of its =>9`qcNW_

own requirements of agricultural products, instead of approximately 10 percent, the quantity now 9#+X?|p+0
B C ~O!v?2it8q
produced. bTJ7RqL
D bLg1Dd7Q
2.连接词的固定搭配 iVE+c"c!2&
常用的连接词的固定搭配有:either…or, neither…nor, both…and, no sooner…than, scarcely/hardly…when, rather…than, the same…as, so…, that, not long…before. ]'{<O3:7

例35 He was so exhausted he couldn’t scarcely keep his eyes open until the movie was over. /_v@YB!0
A B C D ygh*oVHO
(十一)连词的误用 9 u{#S}c`
这类试题的特点是结构与逻辑交织在一起,考生不仅要判断结构是否正确,还要从整句的意思判断逻辑上是否讲得通。此外,考生必须熟记一些常用的连接词固定搭配(在固定搭配部分已作了介绍)。 `8EHhN;

^<Q+=\h
(十二)意思或语形相近的动词、名词、形容词或副词的误用
hT]\*},
英语中有些词意或词形很相近,要是考生对这些词的拼写或词义间的细微差别掌握得不够牢固,就很难识别出错的地方。 YLk/16r
例38 Over the centuries, women have developed considerate expertise in the techniques of adapting to men, but that ability is not the same as truly understanding male psychology. \:, dWLu
例39 Rupert Davies inherited a million pounds from his uncle, and two months late he won va[@XGaC3
A B C rfku]A$
another million on the football pools. \hoYQK j
D /z9oPIJ=*
PQDWY
(十三)关系代词与连接代词的误用 1--_E,Su>
关系代词who(whom, whose), which 和that 引导定语从句;连接代词who(who,whose),which和what引导主语从句、表语从句和宾语从句。要注意whoever和whomever的用法。连接代词whoever相当于any one who,因此不能用who去代替whoever的作用。此外,考生一定要牢记:非限制性定语从句必须用which引导。 FMhSHa/B
