1.这篇改错原文选自《The Economist》，八百字左右，压缩到了200多字，设计的题目完全按照考点，难度高于真题请同学们踊跃讨论！希望对大家有帮助！ The European Union had approved a number of genetically modified crops until late 1998. But growing public concern over its supposed environmental and health risks ledseveral 1. EU countries to demand a moratorium (暂时禁止) on imports of any new GM produce. By late 1999 there were enough such country to block any new approvals of GM produce. 2. Last year, America filed a complaint at the WTO about the moratorium, arguing that it was an illegal trade barrier because there is no scientific base for it. 3. As more studies have been completed on the effects of GM crops, the greens’ case for them has weakened. 4. Much evidence has emerged of health risks from eating 5. them. And, overall, the studies have shown that the environmental effects on modified crops are not always 6. as serious as the greens claim. Nevertheless, environmentalists continue to find fault of such studies and argue that 7. they are inconclusive. While Americans seem happy enough to consume food made from GM crops, opinion polls continue to show that European consumers dislike the idea. Europeans seem be taking the attitude 8. which , since there remains the slightest possibility of adverse 9. consequences and since it is clear how they, as consumers, benefit 10. from GM crops, they would rather not run the risk. 答案： 1. its改为their; 2. country改为countries; 3. base 改为basis; 4. for 改为 against; 5. much 改为little; 6. on 改为of; 7. of 改with; 8. seem后面加to; 9. which 改为that; 10. clear 改为unclear或者前面加not. 解析： 1. 本题考查了大家识别代词所指的能力，its 指代genetically modified crops(为复数), 所以应该改成their； 2. such country是指前面要求暂停进口转基因农产品的某些欧盟国家, 所以应该改成复数； 3. 此处意为： 因为没有科学根据支持暂停(进口), it 指the moratorium； base 基础, 基地, 根据地；basis (for) 基础, 基本, 根据; 科学根据只能说scientific basis, 有的同学把base 后面的for 改为 on, 应该是受到了base on 这个短语的影响； 4. the greens = the environmentalists 环保主义者。
Case 论点，论据， case for 后面的them指GM crops, case for sth. 支持某物的论点，case against sth. 反对某物的论点(削弱了)； 5. 逻辑错误，本句正常语序为Much evidence of health risks from eating them has emerged. 根据And, overall, 或后的语意，此行应该把much 改为little, 说明没有什么迹象、根据表明吃GMcrops对健康有什么危险； 6. 本句的意思为：研究表明modified crops对环境造成的后果并没有环保主义者所声称的那样严重 Environmental effects of modified crops (modified crops对环境造成的后果); 很多同学看到effects 以为后面一定跟on 就错了； 7. find fault with 批评，找茬； 8. seem to be taking固定结构，be 不能少； 9. taking the attitude that ..后为同位语从句，不能用which； 10. 注意since 前面的and 表示前后语意一致。
因为欧洲人觉得仍然存在使用GM food的不利后果，并且他们作为消费者从GM food中会如何获得好处也不清楚，所以他们不愿意冒风险2. After months of speculation about what A would do with its mysterious search-engine company, A9, Web surfers finally got their first taste on Apr. 14. Yet despite of some intriguing new features not yet found 1. on leading sites such as Google and Yahoo! , the site still in test mode -- rises as many questions 2. as it answers. The biggest question remains is whether Amazon, 3. through A9, would clash into Google more directly. 4. Google itself is testing a search engine for products called Froogle that’s starting to appeal Web shoppers. 5. At the same time, Amazon clearly isn’t looking to limit A9’s horizons. How directly A9 eventually goes up against the reigned 6. search champion, it faced lots of challenges. For one, 7. it may run into some of the same privacy issues that recently have plagued Google. A9’s privacy policy points out that information provided through entering search term 8. or by signing into one’s Amazon account could supply the company with information that could personally identify the searcher. Those may be somewhat less intrusive(打扰的，冒犯的) than 9. Google’s upcoming Gmail free e-mail offering, which could search the contents of messages to pitch personalized ads. But comments posted on some sites already indicate some people are uncomfortable with Google’s potential threats to privacy. 10. 答案： 1.of去掉，despite sth； 2. rises 改raise (提出，引起问题) ； 3. question后加that； 4. into 改with , clash with 与…冲突； 5. appeal 后面加to, appeal to 吸引； 6. reigned 改reigning；此处是指占搜索引擎统治地位的Google, 不能用被动； 7. faced 改 faces； 8. term 改 terms 条款； 9. Those 改That , 这里that指上句话的意思，不用复数指代； 10. Google改为A9, 逻辑上的错误3. Almost every new innovation goes through three phases. When initially introducing into the market, the process 1. of adoption is slow. The early models are expensive and hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe. The economic impact is relatively great. 2. The second phase is the explosi。
