Almost every new innovation goes through three phases.

　　When initially introducing into the market, the process 1.

　　of adoption is slow. The early models are expensive and

　　hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe. The economic

　　impact is relatively great. 2.

　　The second phase is the explosive one, where the innovation

　　was rapidly adopted by a large number of people. It gets 3.

　　cheaper and easier to use and becomes something familiar.

　　And then in the third stage, diffusion of the innovation

　　slows down again, as if it permeates out across the economy. 4.

　　During the explosive phase, whole new industries spring

　　up to produce the new product or innovation, and to service

　　it. For example, during the 1920s, there was dramatic 5.

　　acceleration in auto production, from 1.9 million in 1920

　　to 4.5 million in 1929. This boom was accompanied with all 6.

　　sorts of other essential activities necessary for an

　　auto-based nation: Roads had to been built for the cars to 7.

　　run on; refineries and oil wells, to provide the gasoline;

　　and garages, to repair it. 8.

　　Historically, the same pattern is repeated again and again

　　with innovations. The construction of the electrical system

　　requested an enormous early investment in generation and 9.

　　distribution capacity. The introduction of the radio was

　　followed by a buying spree (无节制的狂热行为) by Americans

　　what quickly brought radios into almost half of all households 10.

　　by 1930, up from nearly none in 1924.

　　答案：
　　1. introducing改为 introduced；
　　2. great 改为 small；
　　3. was改为is；
　　4. as 后面的 if 去掉；
　　5. was 后面加a；
　　6. with改为by；
　　7. been改为be；
　　8. it改为them；
　　9. requested改为required；
　　10. what改为that。

　　参考答案
　　1.【参考答案】将lies改为lying。
　　【参考译文】 没有别的体育场位置能与伯纳贝乌体育场位置相媲美了，它位于卡斯特拉纳，位于穿越马德里市中心这条高速公路的三叉路口。
　　【试题分析】 本题辨析主句与分词状语关系的误用。
　　【详细解答】 lies as it does on the Castellana ，虽然主语应该是Bernabeu，但由于前面Few football grounds boast a more prestigious address than the Bernabeu是比较级的句子，而且比较对象很明确：是Few football grounds 与the Bernabeu，而lies的误用，导致了句子结构的混乱。鉴于lies as it does...是对the Bernabeu的补充说明，故将lies改为lying，使之与后面的句子变成状语，就解决了问题。
　　2.【参考答案】将three?lining改为three?lined。
　　【参考译文】 译文同上句。
　　【试题分析】 本题辨析分词作定语时的误用。
　　【详细解答】 three?lining与其修饰词highway的逻辑关系是被动的。而现在分词往往是与其修饰词的关系是主动的。因此，将three?lining改为three?lined。
?3.【参考答案】将as改为Though。
　　【参考译文】 尽管皇家马德里队的历史可追溯到1902年索西达德马里足球俱乐部队成立之时，但是直到1920年，俱乐部才被允许在其名字之前 冠以"皇家"二字。
　　【试题分析】 本题辨析连接词的误用。
　　【详细解答】 Real date back to 1920与it was not until 1920 that the club was granted permission to use the Realprefix之间的逻辑关系应是转折关系，而as的误用导致了关系的混乱。改为表示转折的Though/Although。
　　4.【参考答案】将when改为that。
　　【参考译文】 译文同上句。
　　【试题分析】 本题辨析连接词的误用。
　　【详细解答】 强调句与定语从句的区别主要有两点：引导词与引导词前后的句子的结构。强调句的连词除了强调人可以是who 以外，都用that。另外一点，强调句前半部分是"It is..."，句意不完整，that后面的部分也不完整，只有将It is ...that中间的成分移到后面才完整。本句是强调句，而不是定语从句，故when属误用，须将when改为that。?

　　5.【参考答案】将on改为for。
　　6.【参考答案】将staggered改为staggering。
　　7.【参考答案】将proving改为proven。
　　8.【参考答案】将won改为winning。
　　9.【参考答案】将This改为It。 ?
　　10.【参考答案】将like改为as。

答案部分
1.【参考答案】将were改为was。
? 【参考译文】 作为美国三大商业广播电视网之一，哥伦比亚广播公司成立于1928年。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析谓语动词单复数的误用。
?【详细解答】 本句的主语为CBS (哥伦比亚广播公司)，而不是networks。因此，将were organized改为 was organized。

?2.【参考答案】将which改为when/in which。
? 【参考译文】 那年，它的创始人威廉·佩利获得了数家广播电台的所有权。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析定语从句引导词的误用。
?【详细解答】 作"年代"的定语从句，其引导词可以是that,which,in which或when。这须判断定语从句缺少什么成分，its founder William Paley, acquired ownership of a group of radio stations中，缺少时间状语，故引导词应为when或in which。

?3.【参考答案】将become改为becoming。
? 【参考译文】 随着哥伦比亚广播公司业务范围的拓展，它很快成了美国的最大广播网。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析谓语动词与分词状语的误用。故意将分词短语设计错误，这是六级考试辨错题的一个常考类型。
?【详细解答】 As the Columbia Broadcasting System expanded its operations,是一个由as引导伴随状语，与soon become the largest radio network in the United States之间有一种逻辑上的因果关系，而不是并列关系，而且soon become...在句法上也与并列句子不合。(由and连结)，因此，用become是不合适的，由于become的逻辑主语是the Columbia Broadcasting Sytem，因而将become变为becoming，使这个句子成为结果状语后，就使整个句子符合逻辑连贯性了。

?4.【参考答案】将evolved改为evolving。
? 【参考译文】 它一开始就认识到了未来广播电视技术迅猛发展的趋势。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析作前置定语时分词的误用。
?【详细解答】 作前置定语时，现在分词表示"正在或将要发生"，过去分词表示"已经成为过去"。根据句意，发展趋势是未来的，因此，evolved是不合适的。要将evolved改为evolving。

?5.【参考答案】将experimentally改为experimental。
? 【参考译文】 1931年7月13日，它开始在纽约试播电视节目。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析形容词，副词的误用。
?【详细解答】 副词作状语时，通常在实义动词之前，助动词之后。那么，experimentally放在began之后，是不合适的，那么，experimentally 应修饰television broadcasting。但修饰名词应用形容词experimental，而不是experimentally。

?6.【参考答案】将week改为weekly。
? 【参考译文】 10年后，开始在纽约通过其WCBW?TV电视台每周播放一定的黑白电视节目。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析定语的误用。
?【详细解答】 名词也可以作定语，但一定要符合句意。week意为"周，星期"，与broadcast的搭配，没有什么合乎逻辑的含义，若将之换为weekly，"每周播放"则合乎句意。

?7.【参考答案】将that改为which。
? 【参考译文】 1946年11月，WCBW?TV电视台改为WCBS?TV。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析非限定性定语从句的误用。
?【详细解答】 从逻辑意义上讲，that became WCBW?TV in Novermber 1946是非限定性定语从句，that代替WCBW?TV。但非限定性定语从句的引导词，只能用which。

?8.【参考答案】将composed改为is composed。
? 【参考译文】 该广播电视集团有六大组成部分：电视网、娱乐、体育、新闻、地方电视台以及广播电台。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析动词语态的误用。
?【详细解答】 "在表示由......组成"时，一般用be composed of。

?9.【参考答案】将from改为to。
? 【参考译文】 然而，到了80年代末，哥伦比亚广播公司失去了其领先地位，由全国广播公司取而代之。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析介词的误用。
?【详细解答】 from，表示"从......来"。本句因from的误用，使句子失去了逻辑意义，则将from改为to，就表示了"将位置丢给了NBC"，to表示的意义刚好和from相反。

?10.【参考答案】将quality前加一个"a"。
? 【参考译文】 新闻界的传奇人们爱德华·默罗和沃尔特·克朗凯特给哥伦比亚广播公司带来了盛誉，使其被称为信得过的新闻广播电视台。
? 【试题分析】 本题辨析不定冠词的漏用。
?【详细解答】 quality news broadcaster 的中心词是broadcaster(广播电视台)，是可数名词的单数形式，所以，应在quality前加上不定冠词a。
