  Classic Intention Movement

英語專業八級考試模擬輔導題2017

In social situations, the classic Intention Movement is “the chair-grasp”. Host and guest have been talking for some time, but now the host has an ppointment to keep and can get away. His urge __1__to go is held in cheek by his desire not be rude to his guest. If he did __2__not care of his guest’s feelings he would simply get up out of his chair __3__and to announce his departure. This is what his body wants to do, __4__therefore his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him __5__raise. It is at this point that he performs the chair-grasp Intention __6__Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leans forward and grasps the arms of the chair as about to push himself upwards. __7__This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not __8__hesitating, it would only last the fraction of the second. He would lean, __9__push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holds his “readiness-to-rise” post and keeps on holding it. It is as if his __10__body had frozen at the get-ready moment.

  答案:

1 將can改為must。根據上下文的意思“主人有一個約會,必須離開”是客觀要求,而不是“能不能”或者“可不可以”的問題。

2 not後面加to。desire 後應該加動詞不定式to do something。

3 將of 改為about。care about意思為“對…在意,在乎”,而care of 意思為“轉交”。(覺得還可以直接去掉 of,care 本身也有在乎的意思,可是答案不這麼寫,你怎麼看嘞?)

4 刪掉and或者to。

5 將therefore 改為 yet或but。這兩部分之間應是轉折的關係。

6 將raise改為rise。raise 是及物動詞,後面必須加賓語,而且在此與文章意思不符。rise意為“起身”,“站起來”,符合文義。

7 在as 和 about之間加上if或者though。此處的意思是主人身子往前傾,雙手抓着椅子,好像就要站起來一樣。as if/ though to do something 意思為“彷彿要做什麼事情”。

8 將make改為perform或do。此處考查搭配問題,動詞make與前面的act不能搭配。

9將the改為a。a fraction of a second 意思為非常短暫的'時間。

10 將post改為posture

  part 2

For over 900 years, the Tower of London has served as a loyal __1__palace and fortress. Today, it's famous for its bloody history and for being the place where the Crown Jewels are it has served for other purposes, too. It has been the royal arsenal, royal mint, __2__royal observatory or even the royal zoo. The site of the Tower was __3__originally part of the Roman city of Londinium. But, in 1066, a foreigner from north west France became King William __4__

of Britain, he ordered that a wooden castle built on the banks of __5__the river Thames. The purpose of this fortress was to help secure London, the most important city in his view realm. Ten years later,William had the fortress rebuild in stone, and created a great __6__fortified palace with walls three metre thick. Today, this building __7__is known as the White Tower, and it stands in the centre of a much larger stone fortress, which was built during later centuries. The

Tower now covers the area of seven hectares, and it stands near the __8__

busy financial district of the capital. But, once inside the high stone walls, it's easy to forget the modern world outside and to take a trip back through history. To help visitors explore, there are special ceremonial guards, called Yeoman Warders. They are also known as Beefeaters, and they are the best resource of information about the __9__ Tower's history. Nearly 40 Yeoman live and work in the Tower.

They are former soldiers who earned the privilege of serving as __10__Yeoman after long service.

  答案及解析:

l--royal

loyal和royal兩個詞形似容易混淆,前者是“忠實的”,後者是“皇家的,王室的”。

--/

serve the purpose 的意思是“適用,有……的用途”,不需要介詞for。如:

I don't really think that this piece of furniture serves any useful purpose.

--and

the royal zoo 和前面的the royal arsenal, royal mint, royal observatory都是並列項,所以在最後一項之前應該用and。

^--when;^a--when

原句其實有兩個分句, a foreigner from north west France became King William of Britain 和 he ordered that a wooden castle built on the banks of the river Thames,兩個分句之間缺少了連詞連接。根據邏輯關係,這裏應該用表示時間的連接詞 when。

5.^built--be

動詞order後面的that從句可以是be型虛擬語氣,也可以是情態助動詞should。所以可以説order that a castle should be built或者order that a castle be bulit。在後一種表達中,表被動的助動詞be不能省略。

ild--rebuilt

這裏出現的詞組應該是have something done,意思是要求別人做某事。

e--metres

當數詞和度量名詞之間沒有連詞符時,名詞應該用複數形式。

(area)--an

an area of seven hectares這是一個同位語詞組,area前應該用不定冠詞。

urce--source

resource是“資源”,source是“來源”,所以應該説 a source of information, a source of illness, a source of knowledge等。

^--have

顯然earned the privilege of serving as Yeoman這個動作的結果是延續到現在的,應該用現在完成體。
