改错这一类型在CET六级考试中占有重要的地位.根据《大学英语六级考 试大纲》规定,综合改错(Error Correction)共10题,考试时间15分钟,在一篇题材熟悉,难度适中的短文(约200词)中有10行标有题号,每行有一个错误(不含拼写或标点 错误).这种篇章型的短文改错形式,与传统的句子改错相比,难度增大.这部分试题主要测试学生的英语综合表达能力,要求学生在全面理解内容的基础上,根据 上,下文增添,删去或改正某一个词(或词组),使短文意思连贯,结构正确.
具体答题方法如下:
☆ 改正 将文中错词用斜线(/)划去,在后面横线上填入正确的词,表示替换该错词. (请注意我们文章里面用的是periods这种横线,考试应该划斜线的)
☆ 删去 在文中将错词用斜线(/)划去,在后面横线上也划一斜线(/),表示该错词是多余的.
☆ 增添 在文中两词间加"∧"号,表示有遗漏,然后在横线上添入遗漏的词的正确形式.
