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 Stat es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 Colum bia 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broad cast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。
