英語專業八級改錯練習題整理
One of our main arguments is that we in Western countries actually have part to play in causing the __1__
problems of the Third World. Many Third World countries are saddle with immense debt burdens, for __2__
example. They were lent money with low interest rates in the 1970s, when money flooded into Western banks__3__
from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the Third World. The interest rates have then been risen __4__
dramatically. So you have a situation where a country in many cases can’t even repay the interest, letting alone__5__
the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example from what I have come across is a country in
West Africa where the consumption, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts,
if they are imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. The peanut is a major source of __6__
protein in this you have people go hungry as a result of that. __7__
The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United States to feed our e cattle then produced
a surplus of milk which we do not know what to do have enough milk, more milk than we can cope
with in the Western also that milk was transformed into dried milk powder and then taken back to this country __8__
to help feed children who were suffering from malnutrition. So that’s the kind of insanely economic relationship__9__
that we have got ourselves in the Third World. __10__
參考答案：
1.在part前加上a。詞組have a part to play in…的意思是“有份兒”
le改為saddled。此處為被動語態，應該把動詞變為過去分詞形式。
3.把with改為at。此處介詞與interest rates搭配。
4.刪除been(這裏應該是把risen改為rising，答案應該錯了)。rise是不及物動詞，不用於被動語態。
5.把letting改為let。let alone 意思為“更不用提”。
6.把imported改為exported。下文説花生可以帶來外匯收益，出口才會帶來外匯，所以此處應用exported。
7.把have改為had。上文提到該國禁止本國消費花生這件事用的.是過去時。
8.把also改為so。必須把與此相關的幾個句子聯繫在一起理解，上文説：花生出口到英國和美國去餵了牛，而牛又產出了過剩的牛奶，我們不知道怎麼處理這些牛奶。在西方世界，我們的牛奶夠多了，多得無法處理。本句説：這些牛奶就被製成奶粉拿到該國去餵養那些營養不良的兒童。由此可見本句與上文是因果關係，不能用also來連接。
nely改為insane。此處表達“荒唐的經濟關係”insane修飾的是relationship，而非economic，因此要用形容詞代替。
10.把in改為into。詞組get in 雖然也可以表達“ 進入，陷入”，但是in為副詞，後面不能跟地點，所以應該改為into。
