2017年成人英语三级考试挑错题型考点(一)

来源:考试网  [ 2017年3月1日 ]  【

  名词数目错误处

  词上加"-s"而犯错,其中"experience, equipment, evidence, information"这几个的错误最多。

  下面一家装修商广告中的"experiences"(经验)便是一例:

  "...our many years of reputable experiences."

  须知,当“经验”解时,"experience"是不可数名词,不可以有"-s":"...our many years of reputable experience(许多年声誉卓著的装修经验)"。当“各种各样不同经历”解时,"experience"是可数名词,可以有复数"-s"的符号,如:"Tom could not forget his thrilling experiences in his first trip to Guilin."

  学生作业中,类似的错误也不少,如:

  ① A lot of factors led to students' poor performances. (应为performance)

  ② Only people of irreproachable characters can aspire to be good leaders.(应为character)

  ③ More and more institutions resort to advanced equipments to assist in the education process.(应为equipment)

  ④ Without such knowledges, one would not be able to understand what was seen or heard. (应为knowledge)

  ⑤ There is still much room for further improvements.(应为improvement)

  上述这些不可数名词的错误,是不是很熟悉呢?

  刚刚谈的错误是不可有"-s"而用"-s"。另一种错误是应该有"-s"而不用"-s"。虽然后者不像前者这样麻烦,但是也不难看到。下面三个不同的广告中便出现了应该有"-s"但漏了"-s"的名词:

  ⑥"We are looking for suitable candidate to take up the following positions."(应为candidates)。

  ⑦"Dear customer: Have you been misled by too many brochure?"(应为brochures)。

  ⑧"We specialise in rubber tile for factory, office, warehouse, etc."(应为rubber tiles, factories, offices, warehouses)

  ⑥-⑧里的错误显而易见,只要稍微小心,便不难发现而改正过来。但是,有关不可数名词加"-s"的错误,则较难躲闪,必须加倍警惕才好。其中一个防患办法是借重量词,反映不可数名词之“量” ,但不改变其形,即不要用"-s",如:

  ⑨ There isn't much petroleum in the car.

  ⑩ John gave some evidence to indicate that the documents had been tampered with.

  11. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

  12. A lot of money has been donated to various charity organisations.

  13. Some people today paid little attention to their extravagant acts.
