一、逻辑表达的错误

 

逻辑表达错误是由于某个词语使用不当而造成文章在语义上前后不一致或者矛盾的错误类型，具有难度大、不易发现的特点。这类错误往往需要在考生充分理解全文并具有较强的语言综合应用能力的基础上方可解答。一般来说，逻辑表达错误包括两种类型。

       

       第一种是反义词的使用错误，常见的这类错误有：①派生反义词，如：encourage-discourage，load-unload，satisfy-dissatisfy等；②互补性反义词，如：dead-alive，boy-girl，man-woman，male-female，brother-sister，married-single等；③换位性反义词，如：buy-sell，give-receive，lend-borrow，husband-wife，parent-child，left-right等；④相对性反义词，如：easy-hard，big-small，cold-hot，old-young，wide-narrow，love-hate等；⑤按上下文语义，行中多用了not或no，或必须添上not或no。

 

       第二种是连接词的使用错误，包括：①并列连词，如：and，but，for，or等；②主从连词，这类词较多，如：because，(al)though，if，unless，before，after，until，as，while，whereas等；③连接性副词，如：however，moreover，besides，nevertheless，then，thus等；④连接性介词，如：because of，despite，besides，instead of等。

   

 

下面通过一些例题的讲解，希望大家可以从中寻找出命题规律，并了解常见逻辑错误类型的特点。

例1

Recently more and more attention has been focused

on the problem of preserving the environment.

The fact that a Government Ministry called the

Department of the Environment has been created

shows how unimportant the issue is considered to be.         1.__________

Many other countries have established similar organizations.

 

这段文章，所要表达的意思是：人们对环境问题的重视，并成立了环境部，从而意在说明环境这个问题是多么的重要。显而易见，该处的unimportant应该改为具有肯定意义的important。此处错误属于第一种，即反义词的使用错误。

 例2

In our society all kinds of work are equally important.

For example, the work of a completely uneducated

farmer is in some sense more important than that of a

professor: we can live without education, so we die if we              1. __________

have no food. This is a simple truth that everybody

believes. Although no one cleaned our streets and took the          2. __________

rubbish away from our house, we would get terrible

diseases in our towns.

 

 

在这段文章，第一处要表达的意思是：农民的工作在某种程度上甚至比教授还重要，这是因为不受教育我们照样能活下去，但是没有食物我们却无法存活。因此应该将so改为but，这样才符合文章的逻辑。第二处错误，咋看似乎是一个让步从句，然而后文却毫无转折之意，其实它是一个条件式虚拟语句，应该将although改为if。这两处错误均属于逻辑表达错误中的第二种，即连接词使用错误。这类错误比较第一种错误来说，重在考查考生对英语语言的应用方面。

 

通过例题以及解答不难看出，逻辑错误主要是考查学生对整篇文章的理解，一般不容易第一眼便发现，只有我们读完全文或者上下文之后才可以把握。

will attain pay equality with men rests on at least

part-time, will slow their raises and promotions as

it would for men.
