　　Classic Intention Movement

In social situations, the classic Intention Movement is “the chair-grasp”. Host and guest have been talking for some time, but now the host has an ppointment to keep and can get away. His urge __1__to go is held in cheek by his desire not be rude to his guest. If he did __2__not care of his guest’s feelings he would simply get up out of his chair __3__and to announce his departure. This is what his body wants to do, __4__therefore his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him __5__raise. It is at this point that he performs the chair-grasp Intention __6__Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leans forward and grasps the arms of the chair as about to push himself upwards. __7__This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not __8__hesitating, it would only last the fraction of the second. He would lean, __9__push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holds his “readiness-to-rise” post and keeps on holding it. It is as if his __10__body had frozen at the get-ready moment.

　　答案：

1 将can改为must。根据上下文的意思“主人有一个约会，必须离开”是客观要求，而不是“能不能”或者“可不可以”的问题。

2 not后面加to。desire 后应该加动词不定式to do something。

3 将of 改为about。care about意思为“对…在意，在乎”，而care of 意思为“转交”。(觉得还可以直接去掉 of，care 本身也有在乎的意思，可是答案不这么写，你怎么看嘞?)

4 删掉and或者to。

5 将therefore 改为 yet或but。这两部分之间应是转折的关系。

6 将raise改为rise。raise 是及物动词，后面必须加宾语，而且在此与文章意思不符。rise意为“起身”，“站起来”，符合文义。

7 在as 和 about之间加上if或者though。此处的意思是主人身子往前倾，双手抓着椅子，好像就要站起来一样。as if/ though to do something 意思为“仿佛要做什么事情”。

8 将make改为perform或do。此处考查搭配问题，动词make与前面的act不能搭配。

9将the改为a。a fraction of a second 意思为非常短暂的'时间。

10 将post改为posture

　　part 2

For over 900 years, the Tower of London has served as a loyal __1__palace and fortress. Today, it's famous for its bloody history and for being the place where the Crown Jewels are it has served for other purposes, too. It has been the royal arsenal, royal mint, __2__royal observatory or even the royal zoo. The site of the Tower was __3__originally part of the Roman city of Londinium. But, in 1066, a foreigner from north west France became King William __4__

of Britain, he ordered that a wooden castle built on the banks of __5__the river Thames. The purpose of this fortress was to help secure London, the most important city in his view realm. Ten years later,William had the fortress rebuild in stone, and created a great __6__fortified palace with walls three metre thick. Today, this building __7__is known as the White Tower, and it stands in the centre of a much larger stone fortress, which was built during later centuries. The

Tower now covers the area of seven hectares, and it stands near the __8__

busy financial district of the capital. But, once inside the high stone walls, it's easy to forget the modern world outside and to take a trip back through history. To help visitors explore, there are special ceremonial guards, called Yeoman Warders. They are also known as Beefeaters, and they are the best resource of information about the __9__　Tower's history. Nearly 40 Yeoman live and work in the Tower.

They are former soldiers who earned the privilege of serving as __10__Yeoman after long service.

　　答案及解析:

l--royal

loyal和royal两个词形似容易混淆，前者是“忠实的”，后者是“皇家的，王室的”。

--/

serve the purpose 的意思是“适用，有……的用途”，不需要介词for。如：

I don't really think that this piece of furniture serves any useful purpose.

--and

the royal zoo 和前面的the royal arsenal, royal mint, royal observatory都是并列项，所以在最后一项之前应该用and。

^--when;^a--when

原句其实有两个分句， a foreigner from north west France became King William of Britain 和 he ordered that a wooden castle built on the banks of the river Thames,两个分句之间缺少了连词连接。根据逻辑关系，这里应该用表示时间的连接词 when。

5.^built--be

动词order后面的that从句可以是be型虚拟语气，也可以是情态助动词should。所以可以说order that a castle should be built或者order that a castle be bulit。在后一种表达中，表被动的助动词be不能省略。

ild--rebuilt

这里出现的词组应该是have something done，意思是要求别人做某事。

e--metres

当数词和度量名词之间没有连词符时，名词应该用复数形式。

(area)--an

an area of seven hectares这是一个同位语词组，area前应该用不定冠词。

urce--source

resource是“资源”，source是“来源”，所以应该说 a source of information, a source of illness, a source of knowledge等。

^--have

显然earned the privilege of serving as Yeoman这个动作的结果是延续到现在的，应该用现在完成体。
