Re: [題目] Longman advanced 改錯

[deerchen ( )]

痾...我不是高手...上次考才逼近八百而已
剛好最近也在做這本（這些題我也都寫錯 囧）
拋磚引玉一下
※ 引述《iamweak (嘖)》之銘言：
: 最近寫practice test 發現總分大約在870-900間，而大部分都錯在改錯部分，
: 因為我的文法概念很差，常常都是唸起來順就對，唸起來不順就錯
: （根本毫無概念吧= =），所以打算在11/25前把改錯文法這邊重新看一次，
: 有時候知道雖然改對了但其實根本不知道錯在哪裡......麻煩各位高手幫我解答！！
: 先謝謝各位看願意看這篇很長很長的文......
: p.132
: #8 She informed the board that profits would be up soon and they should now
:        --------                        -----------          -----------
:           A                                 B                    C
: give a bonus to the clerks who should received one earlier.
:                                ------
:                                  D
: 答案是D 請問是要改成 should have 嗎?
  我覺得這樣改沒錯
  至於推文中提到的兩個助動詞的問題嘛
  這裡是個子句，並沒有重複的問題吧?

: p.137
: #7 Dismayed by the hotel inexplicably canceling our reservations, we found
:    --------------------- ----------------------
:             A                      B
: ourselves were frantically calling all over town to reserve other rooms.
: ----------------------------------               ----------------------
:                C                                          D
: 答案是C 把were去掉?
  對啊，原波都會嘛～
  又 found 又 were 不就在同一個子句裡出現兩個動詞了嗎
: p.142
: #7 Their profits they soared in the first quarter due to their new branch,
:    -----         ----                                    -----
:      A             B                                       C
: which by itself surpassed all branches combined.
:          ------
:             D
: 這題我知道B錯 但不知道怎麼改...

誠如推文所說 they 要去掉，把這個句子翻過來看一下可能就會比較好懂了吧
Due to their new branch, which by itself surpassed all branches combined,
their profits soared in the first quarter.

: P.146
: #4 The competitors should counter, we should be fully prepared to remain in
:    ------------------------------            ---------------------------
:                 A                                       B
: this heated race and to advise our lawyers of our firm decision.
: ----------------                           --------------------
:        C                                             D
: 答案是A 看不太懂題目的意思，麻煩高手解答順便幫我翻譯一下...

我本來也看不懂，不過這題被他歸類在word order的部分，就想通了(翻得不好莫怪)
Should the competitors counter....
萬一競爭對手反擊的話，我們必須準備好以便在這個方興未艾的競賽中存活，
也要一面讓律師知道我們公司的決策。

: #10 We had realized the error earlier, immediate restitution could have been
:     ---------------                    ---------------------
:           A                                     B
: taken, and the chaos that unfortunately followed would have been avoided.
:            ----------------------------          -----------------------
:                        C                                 D
: 答案是A，也是看不太懂題目的意思所以不知道怎麼改...

  Had we realized the error earlier....
  要是我們早一點瞭解到這個缺失.....

: p.183
: #136 They are optimistic that negotiations will be settled ________ .
: (A) recently
: (B) within the hour
: (C) never
: (D) seldom
: 答案是B  想請問為什麼A不行?

  我想推文說的可能有誤，依劍橋線上字典的解釋
  recent: happening or starting from a short time ago
  也就是說recent是指正在發生或剛發生不久，跟will不合
  該字典的例句剛好也反駁了b大推文的說法
  e.g. Have you seen any good films recently?

: #139 We were presented with severe challenges,________ we managed to record
: improved results.
: (A) besides
: (B) next
: (C) unfortunately
: (D) yet
: 答案是D，請幫忙解釋這題的意思
: 謝謝各位:D
(record improved results有點不大瞭解)
雖然之前我們面臨嚴酷的挑戰，但是我們成功的進步到打破紀錄的的結果?!
