英语专业八级改错模拟题(20)

is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words __6__ differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in __7__

the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been ―little words.‖ But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words.‖ __8__

of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car. __9__ Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say: we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This is __10__ illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.

参考答案及解析:

1 删掉the

此处的most并不表示obvious的最高级，而是用作副词修饰obvious，表示程度很高，因此前面不能加the。

2 将but改为and

根据文章的意思，这里要用并列关系的and。

3 将in改为to

as apposed to 是固定搭配，意思是―与……相比‖。

4 将misled改为misleading

5删掉away

此处考查固定用法。 far from being...意思为―远非‖―远远不怎么样‖，符合这里的意思。而far away from 表示离某处很远。
