Question

【题目】短文改错

China and Western country may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals. But when it comes to pigs, we somehow reach an agreement that pigs are lazy, ugly, stupidly and shameless. Neither of these words describing pigs are exactly positive. Moreover, the truth is what pigs have some good qualities. And there’s probably no good time to clear their names than now, with the arrival of the Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival, which fell February 5 this year. According to a paper publishing in 2017, pigs can tell between those who treat them well or those who don’t. Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep it in mind-their intelligence, cuteness and patience.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文以猪为例讲述中国和西方国家对某些动物可能有不同的文化信仰，但对猪的看法是一致的。中国农历猪年是为它们正名的最佳时机。

1.考查名词的数。country为可数名词，根据上文China and Western可知应用复数泛指国家。故country改为countries。

2.考查形容词。此处作表语应用形容词stupid，表示“愚蠢的”。故stupidly改为stupid。

3.考查代词。句意：这些描述猪的词没有一个是正面的。neither是否定两者，none否定三者或以上。此处上文描述猪的词语不止两个，故应用none。故Neither改为None。

4.考查副词。句意：然而，事实是猪有一些好的品质。结合句意前后句意是转折关系，故用however。故Moreover改为However。

5.考查连接词。此处为表语从句，从句中不缺少成分，故应用that引导。故what改为that。

6.考查比较级。句意：现在可能是为他们正名的最佳时机，因为今年2月5日中国将迎来农历猪年。根据后面有than，可知应用比较级。故good改为better。

7.考查介词。介词on后接具体日期。本句接February 5 this year. 故February前面加on。

8.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知publish在句中作非谓语动词，且与逻辑主语paper是被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。故publishing改为published。

9.考查连词。句意：根据2017年发表的一篇论文，猪可以区分善待它们的人和不善待它们的人。前后词之间是并列关系，故应用and连接。故or改为and。

10.考查固定短语。根据短语keep in mind表示“记住”。故it去掉。
