本期重點(diǎn):易混詞
易混詞主要考查近義詞混用和形近詞混淆。英語(yǔ)詞匯中有很多詞在拼寫(xiě)上、語(yǔ)義上很相似,如assure / ensure, rise / arise /raise, effect / affect, adopt / adapt,likely / probable,accept / receive,like / as,cost / spend等, 但是它們的用法卻迥然不同。這些易混淆的詞構(gòu)成六級(jí)改錯(cuò)的一個(gè)重要錯(cuò)誤類(lèi)型。
考點(diǎn)例析:
例1: His persistence was awarded when the car finally started. ________
解析:句中“award”是“頒發(fā),授予(獎(jiǎng)賞)”之義,而文中想要表達(dá)的意思是“汽車(chē)終于啟動(dòng)了,那就是對(duì)他堅(jiān)持不懈精神的回報(bào)!睉(yīng)把a(bǔ)ward改成reward。
例2:A diversity committee composed of reporters, editors, and
photographers meets regularly to value the Seattle Times’ S5.________
content and to educate the rest of the newsroom staff about
diversity issues.
解析:動(dòng)詞value有兩個(gè)含義:第一,to think that someone or something is important,比如I value our friendship。第二,to decide how much money something is worth,比如we decide to get this house valued。不論哪個(gè)含義,用于此都不適合。從文中可以推測(cè)這些人碰頭人是為了judge how good, useful, or successful the paper is,因此要用evaluate。
例3:Leprosy is caused by bacteria spread through liquid from the nose
and mouth. The disease mainly effects the skin and nerves. S4.________
解析:effect 作動(dòng)詞時(shí)意為“產(chǎn)生,招致(某種結(jié)果);實(shí)現(xiàn),完成”,但此處需要表示“影響”,故將effects -> affects.
