參考答案 1.【參考答案】將lies改為lying。

【試題分析】 本題辨析主句與分詞狀語關系的誤用。
【詳細解答】 lies as it does on the Castellana ，雖然主語應該是Bernabeu，但由于前面Few football grounds boast a more prestigious address than the Bernabeu是比較級的句子，而且比較對象很明確：是Few football grounds 與the Bernabeu，而lies的誤用，導致了句子結(jié)構(gòu)的混亂。鑒于lies as it does…是對the Bernabeu的補充說明，故將lies改為lying，使之與后面的句子變成狀語，就解決了問題。
2.【參考答案】將threelining改為threelined。
【參考譯文】 譯文同上句。
【試題分析】 本題辨析分詞作定語時的誤用。
【詳細解答】 threelining與其修飾詞highway的邏輯關系是被動的。而現(xiàn)在分詞往往是與其修飾詞的關系是主動的。因此，將threelining改為threelined。
3.【參考答案】將as改為Though。
【參考譯文】 盡管皇家馬德里隊的歷史可追溯到1902年索西達德馬里足球俱樂部隊成立之時，但是直到1920年，俱樂部才被允許在其名字之前 冠以“皇家”二字。
【試題分析】 本題辨析連接詞的誤用。
【詳細解答】 Real date back to 1920與it was not until 1920 that the club was granted permission to use the Realprefix之間的邏輯關系應是轉(zhuǎn)折關系，而as的誤用導致了關系的混亂。改為表示轉(zhuǎn)折的Though/Although。
4.【參考答案】將when改為that。
【參考譯文】 譯文同上句。
【試題分析】 本題辨析連接詞的誤用。
【詳細解答】 強調(diào)句與定語從句的區(qū)別主要有兩點：引導詞與引導詞前后的句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。強調(diào)句的連詞除了強調(diào)人可以是who 以外，都用that。另外一點，強調(diào)句前半部分是“It is…”，句意不完整，that后面的部分也不完整，只有將It is …that中間的成分移到后面才完整。本句是強調(diào)句，而不是定語從句，故when屬誤用，須將when改為that。
