2017英語(yǔ)專業(yè)八級(jí)語(yǔ)法改錯(cuò)練習(xí)(1)

　　Transport can be a major expense for many companies,especially when cars have to be provided for both managerial and sale staff. __1__As a result, it's important to keep a close eye at the many costs __2__associated with company cars and how these different costs compare.

　　The moment a new car is driven away from the showroom,its value will drop as much as 12 percent. This is what is __3__known as depreciation and is the largest single cost to the buyer of a new vehicle. Depreciation is the highest in the __4__first two years of a vehicle's life: at the end of that period a car could be worth just the third of its brand new price. __5__Although the rate of depreciation decreases as time goes by, it remains a major cost factor, as around 85 percent of company vehicles are brought brandly new. __6__However, it is important to know that some cars depreciate much more than others——regardless of price. This is often __7__to do with rarity and prestige value. The more common the car, the more quickly, in general, it loses vaule. Exported __8__models, which are restricted in number, can hold their value better than those are produced domestically and widely available. __9__In the same way, depreciation on a new model of a particular make may be low for the first few years after their launch. __10__This happened when diesel cars were first introduced. They depreciated more slowly when they were rarely seen; now that they are relatively common, this is no longer true.

　　答案及解析:

　　1. sale—sales

　　名詞做定語(yǔ)時(shí)一般用單數(shù)形式，但在個(gè)別情況下也需要用復(fù)數(shù)。此處sales便是這種情況。再如 arms race 軍備競(jìng)賽，savings bank儲(chǔ)蓄銀行。

　　2. at—on

　　keep an eye on為固定搭配。

　　3.drop后面加by

　　by與as much as 12 percent結(jié)合，做謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞drop的表示程度的狀語(yǔ)。

　　4. 刪除highest之前的the

　　5. the—a

　　序數(shù)詞表示次序時(shí)要用定冠詞修飾。

　　6. brandly—brand

　　“嶄新地”習(xí)慣用brand new或brand-new，此處修飾brought，做狀語(yǔ)，意義相當(dāng)于“嶄新地”。

　　7. more—less

　　less所在的句子是該段落的主題句，據(jù)該段落的細(xì)節(jié)可知應(yīng)為less。

　　8. Exported—Imported

　　根據(jù)常識(shí)，進(jìn)口車由于其進(jìn)口的數(shù)量受到限制，有可能比國(guó)產(chǎn)車貶值得慢一些。

　　9. are之前加which/that 或 刪除are

　　要么使用定語(yǔ)從句修飾those，妖媚用形容詞做those的補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。

　　10. their—its/the

　　據(jù)上下文，its或the指代或特指a new model of a particular make
