例:Some of the most celebrated publicity stunts while the
AB C
history of radio were associated with Gracie Allen.
D
分析:C错,应改为in。while为连词,后面要求接从句,而句中显然没有从句,故根据题意改为介词in。
对等连接词和近义的副词混用
连接平行结构的词叫做对等连接词,但是如果出现else, also, instead等副词把这些结构连接起来行不行呢?当然不行。
例:Mary McDowell shared Jane Addam‘s interest in social
A
work also was a loyal supporter of the League of Nations.
B C D
分析:B错,应改为and。also是副词,不能连接并列的谓语动词,故改为并列连词and。
例:Paper is strong under tension instead crumples
AB C
easily under the stress of compression.
D
分析:C错,应改为but;题目意思是在拉力的作用下很强,而在压力的作用下容易起皱;instead, 副词不能连接两个动词并列,but 的对等连接词和and, or的用法是一样的
表示人的名词和表示事物的词混用
例:An editor is customarily a brief newspaper or magazine
A B
article that gives personal comments on current events.
CD
分析:A错,应改为editorial。 editor的意思是“编辑”,根据题意改为名词editorial。
例:For centuries, music have played acoustical guitars,
A
which produce sound from the vibration of the strings.
BCD
分析:A错,应改为musicians。music是抽象名词,意为“音乐”,不能表示复数要领显然应改为musicians。
