專八改錯練習(xí)第三篇：

Cities can be frightened places. The majority of__1__
the population live in noisy massive tower blocks. The
sense of belonging to a community tends to appear__2__
when you live thirty floors up in a skyscraper. Strange__3__
enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one
street all knew each other, nowadays people on the
same floor in tower blocks even say hello to each __4__
other.
Country life, on the other hand, differs from this
kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community
generally keep the inhabitants of a small village togeth- __5__
er. People have the advantage of knowing that there is
always someone to turn to when they need help. So __6__
country life has disadvantages too. For example,
shopping becomes a major problem and for anything
slightly out of the ordinary you have to go for an expe- __7__
dition to the nearest large town. The country has the
advantage of peaceful and quiet, but suffers from the __8__
disadvantages of being cut off. The city has noise and
population which do harm to human health. But one of
their main advantages is that you are at the centre of __9__
things and that life doesn’t come to an end even at ten
at night. Some people have found a compromise be-
tween the two: they expressed their preference for the
quiet life by leaving for the city and moving to the __10__
country within commuting distance of the large city.

參考答案及解析(反白可見):
1.把frightened改為frightening
frightened是“受到驚嚇的”，表明心理狀態(tài)，而frightening表示“令人害怕的”，表示事物性質(zhì)。
2.把appear改為disappear
“當(dāng)你住在摩天大廈的三十層里”，可以推測這里要表達的是歸屬感的消失，而不是產(chǎn)生歸屬感。
3.把Strange改為Strangely
Strangely enough，是固定短語，經(jīng)常用作插入語，意思是“說也奇怪，最奇怪的是”。
4.在say前面加上don’t
此處說的是，現(xiàn)在住在同一層樓的人甚至見面都不打招呼。
5.把keep改為keeps
in that 引導(dǎo)的句子主語應(yīng)該是 a sense，故謂語應(yīng)為單數(shù)。本句的意思是，農(nóng)村生活與這種隔絕孤立的生活不同，因為一種歸屬感把小村里的居民聯(lián)系在一起。
6.把so 改為but/yet
上文提到了鄉(xiāng)村生活的好處，下文是轉(zhuǎn)折，要用but或者yet。
7.把for改為on
“去遠征”應(yīng)該用go on a expedition，而go for 的意思是“去找，努力獲取，擁護”。
8.把peaceful改為peace
of 后面不應(yīng)該用形容詞，所以應(yīng)該改為peace。這里需要注意的是quiet既是名詞又是形容詞，不要被迷惑。
9.把their改為its
此處的代詞應(yīng)該指代上文的 the city。
10.刪除leaving后面的for，或者把for改為from
leave表示“離開某地”，而leave for表示“離開某地去另外一?
