1.provide∧→for或provide→support詞匯錯誤。provide作及物動詞意為“提供”,放在此處不符合文意,provide for為固定搭配,表示“供養(yǎng),撫養(yǎng)”,此句要表達(dá)的意思是“供養(yǎng)家庭的能力”,故應(yīng)該增加一個for?;蛘甙裵rovide改為support,也可以表示“供養(yǎng)”。
2.economical→economic詞匯錯誤。economical意為“節(jié)儉的,實(shí)惠的”,economic意為“經(jīng)濟(jì)的,經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)的”,根據(jù)上下文語境,此處要表達(dá)的意思是“過去幾年經(jīng)濟(jì)上的不穩(wěn)定使得美國夢更難實(shí)現(xiàn)”,故應(yīng)改為economic,符合上下語義。
3.employed→unemployed語篇錯誤。此句用連詞or連揍兩個并列的表語,表示選擇關(guān)系,意為“或,還是”,根據(jù)上下文語境,后面一句指出700萬非法移民在美國擁有工作,中間用meanwhile銜接,表示對比,可以推斷出前一句要表達(dá)“美國公民和合法移民在失業(yè)”之意,故此處應(yīng)改為unemployed,意為“2400萬美國人失業(yè)或半失業(yè)?!?/span>
4.even→語篇錯誤。even if意為“即使,盡管”,表示讓步關(guān)系,由上下文語義判斷,前面指出:我們可以為美國公民和合法移民提供許多工作,后句說到:我們實(shí)施了移民法,可見,后者構(gòu)成前者的條件,故應(yīng)該去掉even,用if引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。
5.rare→scarce詞匯錯誤。rare和scarce都有“稀少的,罕見的”的意思,但不同的是:rare主要指名貴和不尋常的東西,而scarce帶有短缺的、不能滿足需求的意思。此處指的是就業(yè)機(jī)會少,供不應(yīng)求,故應(yīng)該用scarce。
6.what→whether/if語法錯誤。此處是賓語從句,引導(dǎo)詞在從句中不充當(dāng)任何成分,不能用引導(dǎo)詞what引導(dǎo),由于動詞check表達(dá)的含義不確定,故應(yīng)該用whether或if來引導(dǎo),表示“是否”,此句的意思是“e-verify允許雇主檢查將來的雇員是否有合法的權(quán)利在美國工作?!?/span>
7.∧immediately→are語法錯誤。此句的謂語動詞confirm與主語persons是被動關(guān)系,表示“被確認(rèn)”,且此句用來補(bǔ)充說明。前面的主句用了一般現(xiàn)在時,根據(jù)時態(tài)一致原則,此處應(yīng)該加上are構(gòu)成一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)。
8.the—an詞匯錯誤。an average of為固定搭配,意為“平均”,此句的意思是“每個星期平均有1300家企業(yè)注冊?!惫蕬?yīng)該把the改為an。
9.make→take詞匯錯誤。此句是定語從句,修飾先行詞steps.step表示“措施,步驟”,應(yīng)該和take搭配,意為“采取措施”。
10. and (we are)→but語篇錯誤。由上下文語義判斷,此句和前句的邏輯關(guān)系虛該是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,不是并列關(guān)系,前句指出“美國曾經(jīng),并將繼續(xù)是一個移民國家”,后句則說“美國也是一個法治國家”,二者形成對照,故應(yīng)該用表示轉(zhuǎn)折意義的連詞but。

大家的正確率都怎么樣呢?一定記得要把錯題摘錄下來以便日后復(fù)習(xí)哦!
