改错原文

If you were starting a top university today, what would it look like? you would start by gathering very best minds from around the world, from every discipline.(1)____ since we're living in an age of abundant, riot scarcely, information you' d curate the lectures carefully, with a focus on the new and original, rather than offer a course on every possible topic.(2)____ you’ d create a sustainable economic model by focusing on technological rather than physical infrastructure, and by getting people of mean to pay for a specialized experience.(3)____ you' d also construct a robust network so people could access to resources whenever and from wherever they like, and you'd give them the tools to collaborate beyond the lecture hall.(4)____ why not fulfill the university millennium-old mission by sharing ideas freely and as widely as possible?(5)____(6)____

If you did all that, well, you'd have ted.

Its 'faculty': a roster of speakers that run from bill clinton to j.j. abrams, from desmond tutu to isabel allende-anyone who's driving change across the globe.(7)____ their topics range from biophysics to graphic design, covering all what roman playwright terentius might have had on mind when he said, "nothing human is alien to me."(8)____(9)____ the economic model? with attendance fees, advertising, and corporate sponsorships, ted ran an operating surplus of more than $2 million last year, which was reinvested into expanding its reach that's because like fearful old-school colleges, ted is finding that the more open it is, the more it becomes the global education brand of the 21st century.(10)____

答案解析

文章大意
本文讨论开放教育。没有美丽的校园，却有海量的信息；没有固定的课堂，却有前沿的资讯；没有专职的老师，却有全世界各个领域最顶尖的专业人士——ted让人们可以随时随地分享无价的知识。与那些可怕的传统大学不同，ted发现当它变得越开放，它就越成为21世纪的全球教育品牌。\
答案详解
1．∧very→the语法错误。best minds表示“最优秀的人才”，形容词最高级前面需加定冠词the，very是best的修饰词，the应放在其前面。
2．scarcely→scarce词汇错误。此处语义与abundant相对，也作定语修饰information，应该同样用形容词形式scarce，表示“不足的”。
3．mean→means词汇错误。a man of means表示“富人”，means意为“收入，财富”，此处mean要用复数形式。
4．to→to词汇错误。本题考查的是access的用法。access既可以作名词，表示“进入；通道”，也可以作及物动词，表示“接近；得到”。本句中access作动词用时，不需要跟to。
5．university→university's语法错误。此处university与millennium-old 一样，修饰mission，故应该用所有格形式university’s。
6．∧freely→as词汇错误。本句的意思是“为什么不通过尽可能自由和广泛地分享想法来履行大学千年来的使命？”此处是as... as possible的结构，表示“尽可能……”，故应采用as freely的形式，与as widely并列。
7．run→runs语法错误。句中主语是faculty，a roster of speakers是同位语。谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式，run要改成runs。
8．what→that语法错误。此处是定语从句，修饰先行司all的定语从句只能用that引导。直接删掉all、用what引导名词性从句作covering的宾语也符合语法规则，但是句意会有所改变。上文提到话题广泛，此处用all that更贴近。
9．on→in词汇错误。have sth. in mind是固定搭配，表示“记住某事”，介词on应改为in。
10.like→unlike语篇错误。上文一直在讲开放式教育，此处提到的old-school colleges指的是传统教育，下文的the more open就明显表明开放式教育与传统教育酌不同了，此处应该将like换成unlike。
