专业英语八级（改错）模拟试卷301
语言知识
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies
grow and muscles develop with the input of adequate nutritious【M1】______
food. Otherwise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain【M2】______
our keen mental power and expand our intelligent capacity.【M3】______
Constant learning supplies us inexhaustible fuel for driving us to【M4】______
sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning
incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the time in the【M5】______
information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of
uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy
to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of
knowledge. On contrary, learning should be a never-ending【M6】______
process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changed【M7】______
so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a
person lag behind. What\’s worse, the animalistic instinct deep in
our subconsciousness will come to life, and weakening our will to【M8】______
pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away
obstacles to our success, even killing our desire for the refinement
of our characteristic. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the【M9】______
stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore,
to stay mentally younger, we have to take learning as a lifelong【M10】______
career.
1.【M1】
input—intake
解析：词汇错误，易混词误用。input的意思为“投入；输入电路”，intake的意思为“摄入，吸收”。此处要表达的意思应为“吸收足够的的营养食物”。故应把input改为intake。
2.【M2】
Otherwise一Likewise或Similarly
解析：语篇错误。otherwise之前的句子所表达的意思是“我们的身体只有吸收了足够的养分，才能生长发育”，而otherwise之后的句子所表达的意思是“不断学习，才能保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量”，这两句之间是类比关系，所以应该用表示“类似地，相似地”这一意义的副词likewise或similarly．而不是表示转折意义的otherwise。
3.【M3】
intelligent一intellectual
解析：词汇错误。intelligent的意思为“聪明的；智能的”，intellectual的意思为“智力的；理智的”，intellectual capacity是固定用法，意为“智力能力”。
4.【M4】
∧inexhaustible一with
解析：词汇错误。supply一词的基本用法是supply…with…意为“为……提供……”。所以此处应补上与supply相搭配的介词with。
5.【M5】
time—times
解析：词汇错误。此处要表达的意思是“与时代保持同步”，而time表示“时间”，times才能表示“时代”。
6.【M6】
∧contrary一the
解析：词汇错误。固定短语on the contrary(相反地)中的定冠词不能省略。
7.【M7】
changed一changing
解析：语法错误。with之后的部分是独立主格结构，独立主格结构由“名词+动词分词”构成，而究竟是用现在分词还是过去分词。由名词和动词之间的逻辑关系决定，主动关系用现在分词，被动关系则用过去分词。该句中world与change之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词changing。
8.【M8】
and一去掉and
解析：语法错误。此处weakening是现在分词作整个句子的伴随状语．与下文的sapping…和killing．．．并列，故不能用连词and连接。
9.【M9】
characteristic一character
解析：词汇错误。characteristic意为“特征，特色”，character意为“性格，品质”，此处要表达的意思是“隐藏在我们潜意识下的兽性将苏醒，甚至会抹杀我们净化人格品质的愿望”．所以应该用character，而不是characteristic。
10.【M10】
younger一young
解析：语篇错误。此处并没有比较的意思，只是表示“保持心理年轻”这一状态，所以不用比较级，而用原级。
I have been teaching for longer than I care to say, and
always offer a course for entering freshmen. And I\’ve
discovered something quite elemental: all young people
have knowledge-thirsty minds that can be awakened and
encouraged to examine the world they inhabit in.【M1】______
