泽熙美文Correcting Grammatical Errors
1. Unlike competitive running, race walkers must always keep some portion of their feet in contact with the ground.
A.run
B.runner
C.runners
D.running race
正确答案：C
[解析] 与竞技赛跑者不同，竞走运动员必须保持脚掌与地面有一定的接触。
本句Unlike…，race walkers…为一个平行比较结构，因此题中画线部分词性和单复数应与race walkers一致，因此要选C项runners“赛跑者”。
2. It’s a waste of time to discuss the subject further because both you and I are not going to agree on anything today.
A.neither you nor I am
B.neither you nor me is
C.neither you nor I are
D.neither you nor me are
正确答案：A
[考点] 本题考查主谓一致问题。
[解析] 继续讨论这个话题简直是浪费时间，因为我们俩今天都不会赞成对方任何地方。
neither…nor…表示“既不……也不……”，当连接两个主语时，遵循“就近原则”，如Neither they nor she is good at drawing.(他们都不擅长画画。)I“我”后面的系动词使用am，故选A项。
3. Timothy Ray Brown, the first man cured of HIV, initially opted against the stem cell transplant that would have made history.
A.could have later made history
B.should have made later history
C.might make later history
D.would later make history
正确答案：D
[考点] 本题考查时态和情态动词的用法。
[解析] Timothy Ray Brown是首位被治愈的艾滋病人。最初，他反对选用干细胞移植这种后来载入史册的疗法。
主句的谓语opted against用了一般过去时，而选项中都包含时间副词later“后来”，故判断此处应用过去将来时，D项的过去将来时符合此处的用法。could have done表示“过去本来能做某事却没有做”，should have done表示“过去本该做某事却没有做”。但干细胞移植之后的的确确是医学的一大成就，这里用虚拟表示“没有做”，明显不符事实，故首先排除A、B两项。C项的might表示一种可能性，也不符合要求，可排除。
4. Nancy’s gone to work but her car’s still there. She will have gone by bus.
A.must have gone
B.should have gone
C.ought to have gone
D.could have gone
正确答案：A
[考点] 考查情态动词的用法。
[解析] 南希已去上班，但她的车还在那儿。她一定是乘了公交车去的。
根据句意应选A项，因为must have done表示对过去事情的肯定推测。B项和C项中should/ought to have done都表示本应该做某事却没有做；D项中could have done表示本可以做某事却没有做，显然均不符合题意。
5. She followed the receptionist down a luxurious corridor to a closed door, that the woman gave a quick knock before opening it.
A.wherein
B.on which
C.but when
D.then
正确答案：B
[解析] 她跟随接待人员沿着一条豪华的走廊来到了一扇关闭的门前。这位女士在把门打开前快速地敲了一下。
分析句子结构可知，逗号后的从句为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a closed door，敲门的介词搭配为give a knock on a door，把on a door提前引导从句，将a door替换成which，就变成了on which，故选B项。wherein相当于in which place，搭配的介词不对，可排除A项。but连接表转折的并列句，前后分句之间意思不存在转折，且并列句不需要再加从句引导词when，故排除C项。D项then不能连接并列句，若要选，需要在then前加and，故排除D项。
6. When you have finished with that book, don’t forget to put it back on the shelf, are you?
A.will you
B.do you
C.don’t you
D.won’t you
正确答案：A
[解析] 你用完那本书后，别忘了放回书架，好吗?
祈使句的反意疑问句，通常用will you，won’t you，would you等；题目陈述部分为否定式don’t…，则反意疑问句部分用肯定的will you。
7. The eastern bluebird is considered the most attractive bird native of North America by many bird watchers.
A.native
B.native with
C.native by
D.native to
正确答案：D
[考点] 本题考查native的固定介词搭配。
[解析] 许多鸟类观察者一致认为东方知更鸟是北美当地最美丽的鸟。
表示“……是在某地土生土长的”应用native to的结构，如Tamarind is native to Africa，and its seeds have been used traditionally to treat a range of disorders. (罗望子是一种非洲本土的植物，它的果实传统上被用来治疗一些疾病。)因此D项符合要求。
8. Freshmen tend to e-mail their friends photos to show their university is like those photos.
A.how does their university look like
B.how their university looks like
C.what does their university look like
D.what their university looks like
正确答案：D
[解析] 大一新生往往使用电子邮件发送照片。向朋友们展示他们的大学是什么样的。
show后接宾语从句，从句应使用陈述句的语序，可排除A项和C项。询问某人的长相或者某物的样子时，可使用句型What do/does sb./sth. look like?因此从句不能用how，应用what，故答案为D项。
9. After is seemed an endless wait, it was his turn to enter the personnel manager’s office.
A.that
B.it
C.what
D.there
正确答案：C
[考点] 本题考查名词性从句连接词的用法。
[解析] 在看似无尽的等待之后，轮到他进人事经理的办公室。
空格前的after是介词，其后需填入宾语从句的引导词(宾语从句作after的宾语)。由于名词性从句多由连同that，whether以及wh-开头的连接代词和连接副词引导，可以首先排除B项和D项。A项that引导的从句作介词的宾语时，一般只作except和in的宾语，因此也应排除。只有C项what引导的从句可作介词after的宾语，故C项是正确答案。
10. While having orbited the sun, the satellite has sent more than four billion bits of information back to earth.
A.orbiting
B.to orbit
C.being orbited
D.having been orbited
正确答案：A
[考点] 本题考查现在分同做状语。
[解析] 在环绕太阳运行的过程中，这颗卫星向地球发回了40多亿条信息。
主语The satellite是绕太阳运行，主动发出orbit的动作，故排除C项和D项。在引导状语时，非谓语动词to do一般表示目的或将要做的事，而doing引导的状语，一般表示状态或者同时伴随的动作，如Seeing from the top 0f the hill，we find the park even more beautiful(从山顶上看，我们发现这个公园显得更加美丽。)题目中orbit应该是表示卫星的状态，故答案为A项。
11. The recent conference on the effective use of the seas and oceans was another attempt resolving major differences among countries with conflicting interests.
A.resolve
B.resolves
C.to resolve
D.being resolved
正确答案：C
