英语专八改错突击练习试题

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__

参考答案及解析:

1. strucked改为struck或者stricken过去分词形式有误。strike的过去式是struck，过去分词为struck或者stricken。 2. date改为dated或者outdated 3. on other hand 改为 on the other hand 4. entire改为entirely 副词修饰形容词different，并与different一起修饰age。 5. minority改为majority从上下文以及常识判断，多半男性成功地抵制了改变他们服装款式的`企图，即多年来，男性大服装款式跟女性服饰相比没有多大的变化。 6. it改为themthem指代the great majority of men。 7. fewer改为few此处没有比较的意味。 8.去掉on lay down为习语，表示“规定(规则，原则，法规等)”。 9. sometime改为 sometimes。10. height改为high形容词作be 的表语。
