1、 年- 年專八短文改錯試題3月21日專業(yè)八級考試改錯When I was in my early teens, I was taken to a spectacular showon ice by the mother of a friend. Looked round a the luxury of the 1. _rink, my friends mother remarked on the “plush” seats we had beengiven. I did not know what she meant, and being proud of my 2. _vocabulary,

2、 I tried to infer its meaning from the context. “Plush”was clearly intended as a complimentary, a positive evaluation; that 3. _much I could tell it from the tone of voice and the context. So I 4. _started to use the word. Yes, I replied, they certainly are plush, andso are the ice rink and the cost

3、umes of the skaters, arent they? Myfriends mother was very polite to correct me, but I could tell from her 5. _expression that I had not got the word quite right.Often we can indeed infer from the context what a word roughlymeans, and that is in fact the way which we usually acquire both 6. _new wor

4、ds and new meanings for familiar words, specially in our 7. _own first language. But sometimes we need to ask, as I should haveasked for Plush, and this is particularly true in the 8. _aspect of a foreign language. If you are continually surrounded by 9. _speakers of the language you are learning, y

5、ou can ask them directly, but often this opportunity does not exist for the learner of English.So dictionaries have been developed to mend the gap. 10. _改錯 There is widespread consensus among scholars that second language acquisition (SLA) emerged as a distinct field of research from the late 1950s

6、to early 1960s.There is a high level of agreement that the following questions (1) _have possessed the most attention of researchers in this area: (2) _l Is it possible to acquire an additional language in thesame sense one acquires a first language? (3) _l What is the explanation for the fact adult

7、s have (4) _more difficulty in acquiring additional languages than children have?l What motivates people to acquire additional language?l What is the role of the language teaching in the (5) _acquisition of additional languages?l What social-cultural factors, if any, are relevant in studying thelear

8、ning of additional languages?From a check of the literature of the field it is clear that all (6) _the approaches adopted to study the phenomena of SLA so far haveone thing in common: The perspective adopted to view the acquiringof an additional language is that of an individual attempts to do (7) _

9、so. Whether one labels it “l(fā)earning” or “acquiring” an additionallanguage, it is an individual accomplishment or what is under (8) _focus is the cognitive, psychological, and institutional status of anindividual. That is, the spotlight is on what mental capabilities areinvolving, what psychological

10、factors play a role in the learning (9) _or acquisition, and whether the target language is learnt in theclassroom or acquired through social touch with native speakers. (10) _ 專八短文改錯試題Psycho-linguistics is the name given to the study of the psychological processes involved in language. Psycholingui

11、stics study understanding, production and remembering language, and hence are concerned with (1) _listening, reading, speaking, writing, and memory for language.One reason why we take the language for granted is that it usually (2) _happens so effortlessly, and most of time, so accurately. (3) _Inde

12、ed, when you listen to someone to speaking, or looking at this page, (4) _you normally cannot help but understand it. It is only in exceptional circumstances we might become aware of the complexity (5) _involved: if we are searching for a word but cannot remember it; if a relative or colleague has h

13、ad a stroke which has influenced (6) _their language; if we observe a child acquire language; if (7) _we try to learn a second language ourselves as an adult; or if we are visually impaired or hearing-impaired or if we meet anyone else who is. As we shall see, all these examples (8) _of what might b

14、e called “l(fā)anguage in exceptional circumstances” reveal a great deal about the processes evolved in speaking, (9) _listening, writing and reading. But given that language processes were normally so automatic, we also need to carry out careful (10) _experiments to get at what is happening.The central

15、 problem of translating has always been whether to translate literally or freely. The argument has been going since at least the first (1) _century B.C. Up to the beginning of the 19th century, many writersfavoured certain kind of “free” translation: the spirit, not the letter; the (2) _sense not th

16、e word; the message rather the form; the matter not (3) _the manner. This is the often revolutionary slogan of writers who (4) _wanted the truth to be read and understood. Then in the turn of 19th (5) _century, when the study of cultural anthropology suggested thatthe linguistic barriers were insupe

17、rable and that the language (6) _was entirely the product of culture, the view translation was impossible (7) _gained some currency, and with it that, if was attempted at all, it must be as (8) _literal as possible. This view culminated the statement of the (9) _extreme “l(fā)iteralists” Walter Benjamin

18、 and Vladimir Nobokov.The argument was theoretical: the purpose of the translation, thenature of the readership, the type of the text, was not discussed. Toooften, writer, translator and reader were implicitly identified witheach other. Now, the context has changed, and the basic problem remains. (1

For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely, and I soon developed disagreeing mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my 5_sch

21、ooldays. I had the lonely childs habit of making up stories andholding conversations with imaginative persons, and I think from 6_the very start my literal ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of 7_being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing in u

If ,therefore, a playground rhyme can be shown to have beencurrently for a hundred years, oreven just for fifty, it follows that it (7)_has been retransmitted over and over; very possibly it has passed (8)_along
