第一節 短文改錯（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）

Last week I bought an English dictionary in a bookstore near my home. So when I came home and read carefully I found that several page of the dictionary had been missing. Worse still, the misprints spread everywhere the dictionary and serious affected my reading. I went to a store to ask for a replacement. But to my surprised, the staff of the bookstore turn down my request rudely and even denied the poor quality of the dictionary. It goes without saying what a high standard of service is needed in today’s society. However, to my regret, businessmen are fail to achieve this standard. The quality of the staff needs improve.

 

Answer 1

【答案】

 

 so--but

 page--pages

 in ^the dictionary

 serious--seriously

 a--the

 surprised--surprise

 turn--turned

 what--that

 are去掉

 improve--improving

【解析】

試題分析：文章講述了作者買字典的事情。作者回到家后發現，字典缺了幾頁，而且印錯的地方有很多。作者去換字典，卻得到了店員的冷酷對待。

 根據“several page of the dictionary had been missing”可知，前后表示轉折含義，故把so改成but。

 several修飾可數名詞的復數形式，故把page改成pages。

 everywhere到處，是副詞，不能加賓語，句意是：字典中到處都是錯誤，故在everywhere后加介詞in。

 修飾動詞affected，應該用副詞，故把serious改成seriously。

 特指前面提到的事物，應該用定冠詞the。故把a改成the。

 to one’s surprise令某人驚訝的是，one’s后加名詞，故把surprised改成surprise。

 根據句首的Last week可知，文章用的是一般過去時，故把turn改成turned。

 It goes without saying that...，it作形式主語，真正的主語是后面的主語從句，從句a high standard of service is needed in today’s society不缺少成分，that引導名詞性從句無意義，故把what改成that。

 businessmen fail to achieve this standard商人未能達到這個標準，句子完整，故把are去掉。

 sth needs doing sth= sth needs to be done某事需要被做。故把improve改成improving。

考點：名詞性從句；固定搭配
