22 The doctor did what he could save her. (what he could是did的宾语从句,could后省去了动词do,而save前应加to,即to save her是不定式短语作目的状语。本句可写成:To save her, the doctor did what he could do.)
23 He used to get up early and takes a walk along the river every day.(used to do sth意为“过去惯常做某事”,暗示现在不这么了,因此只能用过去时;而be used to doing或n. 意为“习惯做某事”,可用于多种时态。原句takes去掉s即可。)
24 He will come to Chengdu the next week.(本句时态为一般将来时,以现在为基准向后推算的“下周”应为next week;若从过去某时为准向后推算则用the next week,例如He said he would go to Shanghai the next month.)
25 Mother agreed the son to play computer games after he finished his homework.(agree后不能接sb to do sth的宾语补足语,但可接不定式或从句作宾语。本句可这样改:...agreed that her son may play...)
26 This cinema is able to seat two thousand people.(be able to和can在表示“能力”这一意义时是同义的,一般可互换,但be able to的主语通常不能是物或事,而是人。is able to应改为can。)
27 I was about going out when it began to rain.(be about to do sth意为“即将,正打算”,是固定搭配,about后不跟动词ing形式;此外该句型还不能和类似意义的副词如soon,at once,immediately,right now等连用。going改为to go。)
28 This mountain is 3000 metres over the sea.(over和above作介词都可表示位置“高于……”,但二者有区别,over含垂直向上之意,而above指位置高于,但不一定垂直向上,故本句over应改为above。)
29 He went to abroad last year and now he is still in abroad.(abroad是副词,意为“到国外,在国外”,其前不能用介词,例如我们常说“在国内外”为at home and abroad。应去掉介词to和in。)
30 We?蒺ll go to visit the Great Wall unless it doesn?蒺t rain tomorrow.(unless和if都可引导条件状语从句,unless是“除非,如果不”;if意为“如果”,若引导否定条件从句时,if... not可与unless换用。中文的“除非”容易引起对unless的错误使用,应特别注意。本句可将unless改为if,也可将原句的doesn?蒺t rain改为rains。)
31 Give me a bit water to drink,please.(前面第20句已涉及a bit和a little修饰形容词和副词的用法。本句a bit后直接用名词有误,名词前应用介词of连接。a little可直接修饰名词,因此本句也可将bit改用little。)
32 Nearly no one talked with her.(nearly和almost都可表示“几乎,差不多”,与动词、形容词、副词或名词连用时常可互换,但nearly不能与no,none,never,nothing等否定词连用,而almost则可以,故本句应将Nearly换成Almost。)
33 There are two boxes at the corner of the room.(at the corner表示“在……的拐角处”指180度以上的角;in the corner则表示“在……内的角”,指180度以下的角,本题指房间内的角,应该用in the corner。)
34 The all village went out to welcome the medical team from the capital. (all和whole都有“全部、所有、整个”的意思,但在句中的位置不同,all通常用于冠词、名词、代词或其他限定词之前,而whole则用于这些词之后。本句可将all换成whole;或将The all改为All the。)
35 Please write to me at once as soon as you get to Shanghai.(at once和as soon as从句语义重复,故应去掉at once。)
36 The holiday begins from tomorrow.(副词tomorrow前不应使用介词,故去掉from。表示“从……开始”的正确搭配是begin with,例如:Knowledge begins with practice.认识从实践开始。)
37 The price of the watch is expensive.(本句错在词语搭配不当,可改为The watch is expensive.或The price of the watch is high.)
38 The film is very excellent.(excellent意为“优秀的”“极好的”“卓越的”“杰出的”,故不能再用very等副词 或副词的比较等级修饰。)
39 He was born in the year of 1983.(原句去掉of或简单表述为He was born in 1983.原句the year和1983是同位语,不需用of。)
40 I left Beijing in the summer 2005.(本句2005是summer的定语,故两者之间应加上of;此外,表示某一年的某一季,介词应改用on。)
41 He neither speaks English nor French.(neither... nor... 以及either... or... 等连词都连接并列成分,这里应连接两种语言作speaks的宾语,故speaks应放在neither之前。)
