Error Correction 改错题实际上也是考察了学生的阅读能力，这一点可以从近年来考查语篇层次的错误看出来。一般改错的题目类型可以分为搭配、词汇用法和时态、语态、语义(正反关系)，连接词、指代关系。做完题目后必须要把原文通读一遍。 Passage 1 One major decision which faces the American student ready to begin higher education is the choice of attending a large university of a small college, The large university provides a wide range of specialized departments, as well numerous courses within such departments. The small college, therefore, generally provides a limited number of courses and specializations but offer a better student-faculty ratio, thus permit individualized attention to students. Because of its large student body ( often exceeding 20,000) consisting in many people from different countries the university exposes its students to many different culture, social and out-of-class programs. On the other hand, the smaller, more homogeneous (同性质的)student body of the big college affords greater opportunities in such activities. Finally, the university closely approximates the real world and which provides a relaxed, impersonal, and sometimes anonymous (隐姓埋名的)existence. On the contrast, the intimate atmosphere of the small college allows the student four years of structural living in which to expect and preparing for the real world. In making his choice among educational institutions the student must, therefore, consider a great many factors. 71____________72._____________73. ____________74. ____________75. ____________76. ____________77. ____________78. ____________79. ____________80. ____________ Passage 2 Most studies suggest that when women and men do the same job and have the same experience, pay rates tend to be similar.

But growing public concern over its supposed environmental and health risks led several1._____ EU countries to demand a moratorium (暂时禁止) on imports of any new GM produce. By late 1999 there were enough such country to block any new approvals of GM produce. 2._____ Last year, America filed a complaint at the WTO about the moratorium, arguing that it was an illegal trade barrier because there is no scientific base for it.3._____ As more studies have been completed on the effects of GM crops, the greens’ case for them has weakened. 4._____ Much evidence has emerged of health risks from eating 5._____ them.

Passage 4 After months of speculation about what Amazon.com would do with its mysterious search-engine company, A9, Web surfers finally got their first taste on Apr. 14. Yet despite of some intriguing new features not yet found1. on leading sites such as Google and Yahoo! , the site (www.a9.com) -- still in test mode -- rises as many questions2 as it answers. The biggest question remains is whether Amazon, 3. through A9, would clash into Google more directly. 4. Google itself is testing a search engine for products called Froogle that's starting to appeal Web shoppers. 5. At the same time, Amazon clearly isn't looking to limit A9's horizons. How directly A9 eventually goes up against the reigned6. search champion, it faced lots of challenges. For one, 7. it may run into some of the same privacy issues that recently have plagued Google. A9's privacy policy points out that information provided through entering search term 8. or by signing into one's Amazon account could supply the company with information that could personally identify the searcher. Those may be somewhat less intrusive(打扰的，冒犯的) than 9. Google's upcoming Gmail free e-mail offering, which could search the contents of messages to pitch personalized ads. But comments posted on some sites already indicate some people are uncomfortable with Google's potential threats to privacy. 10.. Passage 5 Almost every new innovation goes through three phases. When initially introducing into the market, the process 1. of adoption is slow. The early models are expensive and hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe. The economic impact is relatively great. 2. The second phase is the explosive one, where the innovation was rapidly adopted by a large number of people. It gets 3. cheaper and easier to use and becomes something familiar. And then in the third stage, diffusion of the innovation slows down again, as if it permeates out across the economy. 4. During the explosive phase, whole new industries spring up to produce the new product or innovation, and to service it. For example, during the 1920s, there was dramatic 5. acceleration in auto production, from 1.9 million in 1920 to 4.5 million in 1929. This boom was accompanied into all 6. sorts of other essential activities necessary for an auto-based nation: Roads had to been built for the cars to 7. run on; refineries and oil wells, to provide the gasoline; and garages, to repair it. 8. Historically, the same pattern is repeated again and again with innovations. The construction of the electrical system requested an enormous early investment in generation and 9. distribution capacity. The introduction of the radio was followed by a buying spree (无节制的狂热行为) by Americans what quickly brought radios into almost half of all households 10. by 1930, up from nearly none in 1924. Passage 6 "Home, sweet home" is a phrase that expresses an essential attitude in the United States. Whether the reality of life in the family house is sweet or no sweet. the S1.________ cherished ideal of home has great importance for many people. This ideal is a vital part of the American dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century European settlers of the American West, was in find a piece of place, build a house for one's family, and S2.________ started a farm. These small households were portraits of S3.________ independence: the entire family -- mother, father, children. even grandparents -- live in a small house and working S4.________ together to support each other. Anyone understood the life S5.________ and death importance of family cooperation and hard work. Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, but ~he ideal of home ownership is just as S6.________ strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. When U.S, soldiers came home before World War II. for S7.________ example, they dreamed of buying houses and starting families. But there was a tremendous boom in home S8.________ building. The new houses, typically it the suburbs, were often small and more or less identical, but it satisfied S9.________ a deep need. Many regarded the single-family house the basis of their way of life.
