part 1For the last fifteen or twenty years the fashion in criticism or appreciation of the arts have been to deny the existence of any valid criteria and to make the __1__
Words “good” or “bad” irrelevant, immaterial, and inapplicable. There is no such thing, we are told, like a set of standards first acquired through experience and __2__
Knowledge and late imposed on the subject under discussion. This has been a __3__
Popular approach, for it relieves the critic of the responsibility of judgment and the public by the necessity of knowledge. It pleases those resentful of disciplines, it __4__
Flatters the empty-minded by calling him open-minded, it comforts the __5__
Confused. Under the banner of democracy and the kind of quality which our forefathers did no mean, it says, in effect, “Who are you to tell us what is good or bad?” This is same cry used so long and so effectively by the producers of mass __6__
Media who insist that it is the public, not they, who decide what it wants to hear __7__
And to see, and that for a critic to say that this program is bad and that program is good is pure a reflection of personal taste. Nobody recently has expressed this __8__
Philosophy most succinctly than Dr. Frank Stanton, the highly intelligent __9__
President of CBS television. At a hearing before the Federal Communications Commission, this phrase escaped from him under questioning: “One man’s mediocrity __10__ is another man’s good program”.
參考答案:
1 將have改爲has。該句的主語 the fashion是單數.
2 將like改爲as。such as 是固定搭配.
3 將late改爲later。later和上文first對應.
4 將by改爲of或者from。 relieve sb of/ from sth 是固定搭配, 意思爲 “減輕某人(的負擔等)”
5 將him改爲them。因爲其先行詞爲 the empty-minded,而 “the+adj/p.p” 表示一類人時,通常表示複數概念.
6 在same前加the。the same 表示 “唯一,獨一無二”的概念,因此必須加定冠詞.
7 將decide改爲decides。該句的主語 the public 表示的是單數概念.,這一點從後面的代詞it 可以看得出來.
8 將pure改爲purely。在這裏purely作狀語,修飾謂語動詞,因此應使用副詞.
9 將most改爲more。more than 搭配,引導出比較狀語從句.
10 將from去掉。escape在作 “被某人情不自禁地說出來”講時,是及物動詞,而只在作 “逃跑”講時,才時不及物動詞.
part 2What is a black hole? Well, it is difficult to answer the question,
as the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon __1__
are adequate here. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is __2__
a region of space which matter has fallen and from which nothing can __3__
escape—not even light. But we can’t see a black hole. A black hole __4__
exerts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only
space—or thus we think. How can this happen? __5__
The theory is that some stars explode when their density increases
to a particular point; they “collapse” and sometimes a supernova occurs.
The collapse of a star may produce a “White Dwarf” of a “neutronstar”—
a star which matter is so dense that if continually shrinks by the force of __6___
its own gravity. But if the star is very large, this process of shrinking may
be so intense that a black hole results in. Imagine the earth reduced to the __7__
size of a marble, but still having the same masses and a stronger __8__
gravitational pull, and you have some ideas of the force of a black hole. __9__
And no matter near the black hole is sucked in. __10__
參考答案:
1 將as 改爲since或者because。在表示原因的'連接詞中,只有as引導的原因狀語從句不能位於主句之後,只能位於句首。
2 將adequate 改爲inadequate,或者在are後加not。從邏輯上分析,因爲我們擁有的科學術語“不充足”,所以才無法回答這個問題,所以用否定形式。
3 在which 前加into。這是一個定語從句,意思是“黑洞是太空中物質可以掉進去的地方”,所以定語從句應該爲“into which matter has fallen”。
4 將but 改爲 so。 上文已提到“連光都無法從黑洞中逃出”,所以我們根本無法看到黑洞。這裏應該是因果關係,而不是轉折關係。
5 將thus改爲so。這句話的意思是“那只是空間—或者我們認爲它只是空間”。so做 think 的賓語,thus 只能做連詞,不能做賓語。
6 將which 改爲whose。這個定語從句的意思是“它是一顆星,其密度非常大,由於自身的引力,它在不斷地收縮”。matter 屬於star,所以關係代詞應該用whose。
7 去掉in。result爲不及物動詞,意爲“形成了”,而“result in sth。”意爲“導致某結果”。
8 將masses 改爲mass。mass 可指“大量的物質”,而“the masses”特指“勞動羣衆”,用在此處不妥。
9 將ideas 改爲idea。“idea”在表達“印象”時,爲不可數名詞,不可以用複數。
