本期重點：時態、語態、虛擬語氣
① 時態錯誤
在一篇結構完整、語義連續的短文中，時態的使用也應該連貫一致，但是英語表示時間時，主句和從句時態可能不一致，卻仍表明完整正確的意思。這就要求考生對英語敏感，準確判斷句中動作的時態。
② 語態錯誤
在CET-6綜合改錯題中最常見的語態錯誤是被動語態被誤用為主動語態。因為漢語表達習慣上有時不加“被”字也能表示被動，因而考生對被動語態不敏感。另外，不及物動詞不能攜帶賓語，因而也就沒有被動語態。
③虛擬語氣錯誤
虛擬語氣的使用錯誤在綜合改錯題中主要表現為主句和從句的語氣不協調。
考點例析：
例1：In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections and deaths started to
pick up again around theworld. Where tuberculosis vanished, it S8._______
came back
解析： 這句話的意思是：結核病在已經絕跡的地方又卷土重來。從句謂語動詞發生在主 句 謂語動詞came之前，所以要用過去完成時，故在vanished前加had。
例2：In the ancient world and the Middle Ages philosophers discuss motion. ________
解析：此句的時間狀語是In the ancient world and the Middle Ages，所以謂語要用一般過去時，故將discuss改成discussed。
例3：She was very angry at not telling the truth when she listened to the account. _______
解析：句意：當她聽這個敘述的時候，她很生氣沒有被告知真相。這里“她”是被告訴的對象，因而telling應改為being told。
例4：We strongly suggest that Henry is told about his physical ___________
condition as soon as possible.
解析：句中動詞suggest之后的從句應用虛擬語氣，故“is”應改為“be”或“should be”。類似的動詞還有demand, insist, order，等等。

參考答案及解析：
鞏固與拓展
1. taking -> taken。
take在此擔當的是定語，修飾前面的one(photo)，根據判斷可知one與take之間應該是被動關系。
2. have -> had
主句使用“would+現在完成時”，可見此處的虛擬語氣和過去的事實相反，因此條件句部分要用過去完成時。
3. they前加did
Not only位于句首句子部分到裝，由于but also的句子時態用了過去時，所以前面也要用過去時，故在they前加did。
4. affecting -> affected
5. Find -> found
綜合練習
1.for → /
在句子中說明前后兩個相等成份的關系時用except，否則用except for。本句是說每位美國總統，除了喬治•華盛頓，都曾在白宮居住過“Every American president”與“George Washington”為對等成分，故應去掉for。
2.majority → major
majority意為“大多數”、“半數以上”，一般后接復數名詞，而major則為“主要的”。本句意為“華盛頓在設計白宮中起了主要作用”，故應用major。
3.of → from
要表示一個人的家鄉在哪里，介詞應為from。
4.long → longer
本句意思是說華盛頓把白宮設計得比原來更長，更寬了一些。與原來作比較，long當然應用比較級，而且and連接的兩個形容詞也應為對等成分，既然wider是比較級，long也應為比較級。
5. was ∧ first → the
the +序數詞具有名詞意味，在這里the first即表示the first president。
6. onto → into
“搬進新居”應為“move in”或“move into”,move on意為“繼續前進”，而“move onto”則是不存在的。
7.live → living
live (a)意為“活著的”，而“living”則是“適于居住的”、“生活的”。the living area意為“適于居住的地區”。
8. so → too
原文說，戰火把樓房的內部完全燒毀了，專家們說白宮太危險了，不能居住了，所以后來工人們才又重修白宮內部。“太……太……”應為“too…too…”。
9. which ∧ underground → were 或which → them
本句有兩種改法，若想使這部分成為非限制性定語從句，則which引導一個句子，后面應加一個“were”;若想使這部分為獨立成分，則改which為them。
10. appearing → appearance
原句意思是說，重建白宮的工作并未改變它的外貌。appearing為appear(出現)的v. + ing形式，appearance意為“外觀，外貌”。
