例：．．．since there were always plenty of other workers to take his job，he was likely to be hired if he asked for more pay．78．__________（1994．1）
此处，根据题意，hired应改为fired， hire和fire是近形异义词。
◆词语搭配错误
A．固定词组搭配错误，其中以动词短语、介词短语和形容词短语为常见。
例1：But we must keep in head the 76．__________
billions of dollars we might spend in carrying out the project．（2000．1）
此处，head应改为mind，keep inmind意思是"记砖。
例2：Similarly，we feel comfortable with people with physical qualities similar as ours．71．__________（1995．1）
此处，as应改为to，be similar to表示"与……相似"。
例3：In every home a stereo or television will fill the rooms sound．72．__________（1995．6）
此处，在sound前加上with，fill sth．with sth．else是固定搭配，"把……充满……"。
B．功能关系搭配错误，具体体现在名词单复数、动词主谓一致、词性的变化等方面。
例1：．．．During the early stages of 71．__________
the industrial revolution，perhaps one in every seventh 72．__________
deaths in Europe's crowded cities were caused by the disease．73．__________（2001．6）
此处，71．stages应改为stage； 72．seventh应改为seven；73．were应改为was，因为句子主语（one）是单数。
例2：Many women，for example，have committed their lives to teaching careers， yet relative few have become principals or headmasters．80．__________（1996．1）
此处，relative应改为relatively，修饰few。
C．结构性搭配错误。
例：．．．At the beginning of the nineteenth century working hours were
sunrise to sunset，pay was awful，and working conditions being poor and dangerous．72．__________（1994．1）
此处，being应改为were，因为该句是由 and连接的几个分句，各分句应有自己的谓语，而分词being不能作谓语。
◆其他错误
A．介词
例：Perhaps we'll treat termites for friends．79．__________（1993．1）
此处，for应改为as，treat．．．as．．．是固定搭配，表示"把……看作……"。
B．代词
例1：．．．Finally，the university closely approximates the real world and whichprovides 78．__________
a relaxed，impersonal，and sometimes anonymous existence，．．．（1996．6）
此处，which应改为this，因为此句是由 and连接的两个分句，并不是定语从句。
例2：While technology makes this possible 75．__________
for four or even six billion of us to exist，it also eliminates our job opportunities．（1990．1）
此处，this应改为it，只有it可作形式宾语。
C．时态
例：．．．The American hasn't been told very __________ 76．
much about the kind of food he might expect．（2000．6）
此处，hasn't应改为hadn't，用过去完成时。
D．删除多余
例1：With occasional breaks for war，the rate of death and infection in the Europe and 75．__________
America dropped steadily through the 19th and 20th centuries．In the 1950s，the．．．（2001．6）
此处，删除Europe前的the，因为表示"洲"的专有名词前不用冠词。
例2：You may have noticed about how 72．__________
people who live or work closely together come to behave in a similar way．（1995．1）
此处，notice是及物动词，可直接带宾语，删除about。
E．添加
例：Most of the dollar differences stem from fact that women tend to be more recently 71．__________
employed and have less years on the job．（1996．1）
此处，因为fact后带一同位语从句，因此它前面需加定冠词the。
2．逻辑性错误
◆逻辑矛盾，指的是由于词汇使用不当使句中某种逻辑关系发生逆反，从而引起句子乃至整个语段的语义前后矛盾。
A．使用反义词或反义结构。
例1：．．．and the antibiotics were allowed to be imported to poor countries．76．__________（2001．6）
此处，根据题意，imported应改为exported。
例2：Why are we spending so little money on space exploration？77．__________（2000．1）
此处，根据题意，little应改为much。
例3：．．．If he had known about American food，he might have behaved better．77．__________（2000．6）
此处，根据上下文语意，American应改为 Arab。
例4：．．．Second，will male-dominated companies elevate women to higher-paid jobs at the different rate as they elevate men？77．__________（1996．1）
此处，根据题意，different应改为same，本句是．．．thesame．．．as．．．句型。
例5：The governments of most countries spend huge sums of money for international defense．80．__________（1990．1）
此处，根据题意，international应改为national。
B．使用语义相反的连接词，使时间关系、因果关系、让步关系、递进关系、转折关系颠倒等。
例1：In 1860，because some of the farm 72．__________
population had moved to the city，yet eighty percent of the American population was still in the country．（1991．6）
此处，根据题意，because应改为although或though。
例2：．．．It appears that we all find company in sound，if we all demand a little quiet from time to time．80．__________（1995．6）
此处，根据题意，if应改为although ／ though ／but ／yet，因为本句是一个转折或让步状语从句，而if只能引导条件状语从句。
◆逻辑混乱，指的是由于词汇使用不当使句子的逻辑关系混乱，从而造成句子语义阻塞，副词、介词、代词等错用是引起这种现象最常见的例子。
例1：In every case，the influential person may consciously notice the imitation but he will feel comfortable in its presence．76．__________（1995．1）
此处，根据题意，consciously应改为unconsciously。
例2：．．．As income goes down，people may 77．__________
not want more food to eat or more clothes to wear．（1991．1）
此处，根据题意，down应改为up。
例3：．．．The farm family grew and made almost nothing it needed．The surplus crop 71．__________
would be sold in order to buy a few items in the local general store．（1991．6）
此处，根据题意，nothing应改为everything。
