专八改错集训营

To be called beautiful is thought to name something essential to women’s character and concerns. (In contrast by men- whose __1__ essence is to be strong, or effective, or competent.)
It does not 　need someone in the throes of feminist awareness to perceive that __2__ the way women are taught to be involved in beauty encourages __3__ narcissism, reinforces independence and immaturity.
Everybody knows __4__ that. For it is “everybody”, a whole society, which has identified __5__ being feminine with caring about how one looks.
Giving these __6__ stereotypes, it is no wonder that beauty enjoys, at best, a rather mixed reputation.
It is not, of course, the desire to be beautiful is wrong but the __7__ 　obligation to be. Women are taught to see their bodies in parts, and to assess each part separately.
Breasts, feet, hips, waistline, neck, __8__ eyes, nose, complexion, hair, and so on–each by turn is submitted __9__ to an anxious scrutiny. Even if some pass the scrutiny, some will 　　always be found wanted. Nothing less than perfection will do. __10__

参考答案及解析

参考答案及解析:
1.by改为 to/with
词组 in contrast to/ with 表示“与……相比”，不能用其他介词。
2. need改为take
虽然need的汉语意思是“需要”，但英语中It takes 往往作为一个固定搭配，表示“做某事需要某物或者某种品质”。
3.in改为with
be involved in 表示“介入，参与”，后面一般跟事。
而 be involved with 则表示“和……有关系，有关联”，后面一般跟人。
如： He was involved in a car accident.
I never wanted to get emotionally involved with him.
4.independence改为dependence。
5.which改为that
句子的主干是 it is…that…表示强调。
6.giving改为given
given 一词后面接名词词组可表示“考虑到，鉴于…”。
7.beautiful 后面加that
此句同样也是一个强调句型，后面须跟that引导的从句。
8.assess改为evaluate
assess往往指对某物在金钱上的价值进行权威的评估。
如： We should assess an apartment on the amount for which it is likely to be rented.
本句话指每一个平常的女性对自己身体的每一部分进行评判，评价，应该用evaluate，因为该词表示对事物的本质或价值进行判断，如：
Teachers evaluate a student’s thesis for content and organization.
9.by改为in
by turns 表示“交替地，轮番地 ”。 in turn 表示一系列动作按照一定顺序发生，或者某人先后做某事。根据题意，这里要用in turn。
10. wanted改为wanting
to find something or somebody wanting 表示“(某物或某人)缺乏应有的素质，不够格”。
wanted往往指“被通缉”或者“被爱，被照顾的”。
