Britain almost more than any other countries in the world must
seriously face the problem of building downwards, that is to say, of 1_______

blocks of flats. It is said that the English man objects against this type 2._______
of existence, but if the case is such, he does in the fact differ from 3._______
the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our
own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups,
and they had lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, 4._______
constant hot water supply, electrically-operated lifts from top to bottom, as well as such details as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds
for children on the top of the buildings, drying grounds for washing. 5_______

参考答案

正确答案:
1.【解析】downwards—upwards。此处属于上下文语义矛盾,而关键是要理解句意。其中thatistosay(也就是说)对上句做了解释:英国人要面临的是相当一部分人口要居住在高层楼房中的问题,downwards在此上下文语义不符,应改为upwards。2.【解析】against—to。此处是说英国人反对这种生活方式。objectagainst没有此用法,属于介词误用,objectt0是固定搭配,意为“反对”。3.【解析】the-/。Infact为固定短语,意为“事实上”,应去掉the。4.【解析】had—have。此处属于时态错误。句中的havebeenassociated提示此处应使用现在完成时,而hadlacked为过去完成时,应将had改为have。5.【解析】^drying—and。此句通过列举描述英国高层公寓的生活设施短缺的问题,dryinggroundsforwashing为列举项的最后一项,应用and连接。6.【解析】concerning—concerned。此句是说对公寓和个人住宅的争论将可能会持续一段时间,直到英国政府开始关注才可能停止。concerning为介词,意为“关于”,而concerned为形容词,意为“关心的”,此处应为英国政府关注(concerned)公寓问题。7.【解析】fortunate—unfortunate。此句中that引导主语从句,描述事实:每次这个问题被提上日程时,双方都争论不休,也就是说,这对政府来说是一种不幸,而不是幸运,上下文语义矛盾,故将fortunate改为unfortunate。8.【解析】in—on。此处属于搭配误用。base…on为固定搭配,意为“基于…”,故将in改为0n。此句意为:那些反对建设公寓的人以这样的事实为依据:每个人都喜欢带花园的个人住宅。9.【解析】either—both。either…or…意为“两者都不”,表示否定,both…and…意为“两者都”,表示肯定。此处表示肯定,意为时间和金钱,故将either改为both。10.【解析】urban—Suburban。根据常理,带花园的个人住宅一般都在郊区,而为郊区的居民提供各种服务需要花费大量的时间和金钱。此处属于上下文语义矛盾,故将urban(城区)改为suburban(郊区)。
