When we speak of a human need, we mean something
which is cet4v.com, something we can live with. 67_________
Food is a human need. We will starve to death if there 68_________
were no food on earth; but even if we have plenty of food,
but of the wrong kind, our bodies will have problem from
lack of the right food. This is known for malnutrition(营 69_________
养不良).
In countries where are not developed, man’s food70 _________
needs are the same like in the most advanced societies. We 71_________
all need food and could live a good life on very few types of
food. People in very developed countries eat only the kinds 72 _________
of food which can be grown near their homes, whereas
people in developed countries eat foods which are often
grown many thousands of miles away form their homes.
People in undeveloped countries are happy with less
different kinds of foods than people in very developed ones
are, so we can say that despite the needs of the two kinds 73_________
of people are the same, their wants are different. People in
very developed countries eat many different types of
meat—they could live by only one, but they would be very 74 _________
unhappy because every time what they ate was the same.
Even such special foods like chicken would be less fun to 75 _________
eat if you had cet4v.com. But we can’t just live on
meat—we need other kinds of food like bread, rice, and
vegetables which are no more necessary to our bodies. 76 _________
Part ⅤError Correction
67. 本题考查上下文语义关系,unnecessary 改为necessary 。本句句意为:我们所谈及的人的需要,是指我们生活中必不可少的东西。据此,应用肯定意义的necessary。
68. 本题考查虚拟语气用法, will改为would。根据英语语法,与一般现在事实相反的虚拟语气,条件句用一般过去时,主句用would加动词原形。
69. 本题考查搭配关系, for改为 as。“be known as,被认为是…”, “be known for,因…而众所周知”。根据题意,应是be known as,即“这被称为营养不良”。
70. 本题考查定语从句的关系词,where改为which/that。此处引导定语从句的关系词在定语从句里必须充当主语,而where 在定语从句里作地点状语,没有作主语的功能,因此,where改为which或that。
71. 本题考查固定搭配,like改为as。“the same as…,与…同样的”,为固定搭配。
72. 本题考查上下文语义关系,developed改为undeveloped。考生做此题时要有全局意识。本句与下句是发达国家和不发达国家的两个对比。本句中whereas引出转折,前部分指“欠发达国家的人们只食用在其家园附近种植的食物”,而后部分指“发达国家的人们吃的是距其家好几千英里之外生长的食物”。之所以改成undeveloped 而不是underdeveloped是因为下句中也出现了undeveloped, 作为提示。
73. 本题考查介词用法,despite改为although/though。despite是介词,不能引导句子,如要引导,必须改成 “despite the fact that…, ”。比较简洁的方法是把despite改为although或though。
74. 本题考查习惯用法,by改为on。“live on (sth.), 继续生活, 以…为主食, 靠…生活”。“live by (doing sth.),以…为生”。本句意思为:他们可以只吃一种肉。并且下文再次出现live on作为提示。
75. 本题考查固定搭配,like改为as。such as 为固定搭配。
76. 本题考查上下文语义关系,more改为less“no more necessary,表示否定,“不重要多少”; “no less necessary”是双重否定表示肯定,“同样必要”。
