短文改错专练：March 29th, Dear Diary, I’m writing this at my room.It’s almost midnight and I have to getting up early tomorrow, but I can’t sleep.I’m thinking about my future!Every day, my parents asks me, “What do you want to be when you grow?” The problem is: I don’t know!My mom always says, “Be a doctor!” And she doesn’t understand — to be a doctor, you have to study for a long, long time and that’s not her idea of fun.Also I’m really bad at biology at the school.My dad says, “Be a pilot!” Is he crazy? He knew I hate flying!

Now I’m getting tiring, so I’m going to bed.I can think about my future in bed.I get my best ideas when I’m lain down.I have known my friend Rebecca for a long time.We firstly met at a friend’s birthday party five years before.We found out that we both liked singing and dancing, so I invited Rebecca over to my place.We listened to the music together and soon became best friends.Three years ago, Rebecca’s parents invited me go on holiday with them.It is great.We spent three wonderful weeks in a little cottage.Rebecca and I loved walking along the beautifully beach.We took a lot of photos and had a lot of funs.Last year, Rebecca’s father changed her job, and they moved to other town.Since then we haven’t seen each other very much, but we’ve talked in the phone and we’ve written emails to each other.Dear Joe, How are you? Thanks to your post — good to know when you’re OK.I’ve got news too.I’m going on holiday next weeks with my brother and Anna, a friend from school.We’re going to stay on a farm with four days!We’re going to look after the animals and doing some horse-riding.I’m sure I’ll love it.You know how crazy I am about the animals!I want to learn all about the cows or the horses.I hope I will have some times to go walking in the hills, too.Well, right now I’m going to finish homework — lots to do before the holiday!I’ll write to you when I get back to telling you about my holiday.Yours, 4 Nadia People had always been interested in bees.This interest may have begun with the honey what bees make.In the fact, it has been found that people have been eating honey for thousand of years.In the more recently past, people were interested in the way bees made honey.They admired the way bees seemed to working so hard.Some languages even developed expressions about people working like bees.In English, for example, we talk with a “busy bee”.Now scientists has a new reason to be interested in bees.They have discovered that bees able to communicate with each other.Research has revealed some surprised facts about this, but there are still many mysteries.Yesterday afternoon, I took the No.6 bus to go home.It was crowded on the bus, and I had listened to music by my earphones.Suddenly I saw the name of the bus stop that I should get off, so I got off the bus in hurry.When I arrived home, I realized that I had left my bag on the bus.My ID card and ten books were in the bag.I was worried and eager to finding it, so I went to the bus companies for help.Fortunate, at the Lost and Found, I see my bag.I wanted to thank the person who had found my bag, and the staff there said the person hadn’t left his name.How a good man!

I read an interested piece of news on a newspaper today.According to Professor Richard Wiseman, only less than a quarter of the British achieved their New Year goals because they do it in the wrong way.He studied 700 volunteers who made a wide ranges of New Year goals, including quitting smoking, losing the weight, or gaining a qualification.Just 22 percent of the participants managed to meeting their goals or described their progress like “very successful.” The reason so much failed was that they took the wrong approach and led by self-help books in the wrong way.They tended to spend a lot of time on thinking about the “bad things” what would happen if they did not achieve their goals instead of taking action.Last weekends, I went shopping by myself.It was a sunny day and I feel very happy.When I had bought anything I needed, I went to the bus stop to take a bus.Unfortunately, there were too much people at the bus stop.Then it was my turn to get on, there was no room.I had to wait the next bus.Suddenly, it started to rain.I had no choice but to call a taxi.Half way through the journey, the taxi was broke down.I was filled with angry when I saw an emptier bus go by.Finally, I decided to walk home in a rain.What an unlucky day!

My name is Li Hua and I wanted to be class monitor.I am responsible, sociable, or easy-going.I enjoy serving others.Additionally, I have vary interests.I love singing and playing the drums as well soccer.I am also a good listener and be always open to different opinions.I am confident that I can do the job good.Being a student myself, firstly, I will create an academic atmosphere so that everyone in our classes can improve their studies.For those students who is falling behind, I will find ways to help them to catch up.Secondly, I will serve as a bridge among teachers and students.Finally, I will arrange parties so we can relax.I believe I am the right person to this post.Dear Sarah, I’m writing because I want to apologize to what I did last week.I’m really sorry.I know we said 8:30, and I would’ve gotten here on time if everything hadn’t gone wrongly.I was late because my watch broke and I didn’t know what the time it was.So you see, I would’ve arrived on time if my watch hadn’t broken.Then I have to walk because I’d missed the bus.And then I fell over and my trousers got dirty, so I had to go home and get changing.Then I decided to catch another buses, but it was too late.I would have phoned you and my brother had taken my mobile phone.Anyway, I hope you aren’t too angrier with me.Hope to hear you soon.Yours, Jack

Today my classmate and I went to a farm for a trip.I get up at six o’clock and we set off by bus.On the bus, some of us sang, and some of us talked.We all had good time.Two hours late, we arrived at the gate of the farm, that the farmers were waiting to give us a warm welcome.After we were shown around the big farm, they began to plant trees.It was really a good way to getting close to nature and protect the environment at the same time.Next, we had a picnic and it was great fun to eat on the open air.Finally, we went home at half past four.Although all of us was tired, our trip was really very more unforgettable.Both my father and mother has been wanting me to study abroad.They think that it’s natural to master a foreign language in an English-speaking country and that studying abroad at early age will enable me to be dependent.Moreover, it will be easier to me to gain advanced knowledge of technology, that will prepare me for a brighter future.Moreover, my good friend, Zhang Hua doesn’t agree with them.He thought my English is too limited to communicate with foreigners.Besides, the cost is too much for his family.In my opinions, I should continue to study in China.As long as I study hard at now, I’ll make great achievements in the future.Advertising informs consumers about newer products available on the market.It gives us information with everything from shampoo to toothpaste to computers and cars.But there is one serious problems with this.The information are actually very often misinformation.It tells us the products’ benefits but hides its disadvantages.Advertising not only leads us to buying things that we don’t need and can’t afford, but it confuses our sense reality.“Zoom toothpaste prevents bad teeth and gives you the white teeth!” the advertisement tells us.And it doesn’t tell us the complete truth that a health diet and a good toothbrush will have the same effect.My grandfather had had enough of his cat.He was tired of her scratching all the furnitures and made a mess.So he gave her to a friend, who lived on the other side of town.He told his friends that he was getting so old to look after her.A week later, in a very cold winter day, my grandfather returned home from shopping and surprised to see the cat on his doorstep.My grandfather was moved by the fact that his pet had found his way back from the other side of town in such a cold weather.He took the cat outside and gave her lots of loving attention.He decided he will never give her away again.Bedouin, the Arab people who live in the desert, living in a traditional society.This means they live on much the same way as their ancestors did.People who live in traditional societies has strong ties to the past.Customs and beliefs have changed very slower.They fear that when changes will make their lives worse rather than better.Values are passing on with little changes from one generation to the next.Yet changes do take place.All cultures change, but they change much quickly at some periods than at other.In very recent years, changes have taken place very quickly everywhere, including deserts of Southwest Asia and North Africa.My uncle and aunt come home one evening and discovered huge hole in their roof.They also found that their dog was dead and their furniture were covered in horrible-smelling matter.Upset by which they saw, they phoned the police.After the police looked into the problem, they were told what had happened to.It seemed that the container holding the wastes from the toilets on a passing plane had burst openly.The contents froze in the atmosphere as it fell towards the ground.Then the resulting block of ice crashed through the roof and broke into piece, killing the dog after melting in their house.Taking parts in recreation activities help us keep fit.There are various kinds of activity in our daily life, for example, listening to music, watching TV, playing chess, or going to cinema.But I think we’d better to have more outdoor activities.As students, we usually sit too longer in the classroom, and as a result our eyes and brains getting tired.But it’s a good idea to play basketball, football, table tennis, go swimming, do some runnings, or even go for a picnic.Our brains also need changes to make it smart and active.In a word, exercise is good for the health.Dear Sandra, You’ll never guess where I’m writing this email.A cave!You know we’re on holidays in Spain.Well, we spend a few days in Barcelona first.We had a good time there, though one day I didn’t feel very good.I think I ate too much ice cream the day before.Anyway, when I left Barcelona, we came to spend a few days in Granada.However, we couldn’t get a hotel — too many tourists and not enough bed!Then the hotel owner said, “Why don’t try the cave hotels?” We thought he were joking.Living in caves? But there we are and it’s wonderful.We’re enjoying it much that we don’t know when we’re going to leave.We’re never going to have enough time to explore for everything.Take care!

My uncle buys a satellite dish, which is a large round piece of metal that receives satellite television.He decided to set up himself.He climbed up the ladder and attached the dish with the side of his houses.After he finishing, he and my aunt relaxed for the evening in front of the TV.The next day was very much hot, and they decided to stay at home and watch TV.That afternoon they heard lots of shouting outside.When they went outside, they saw that the house opposite were on fire.Fortunately, the fire was putting out.It turned out that the fire had started because my uncle’s satellite dish had been concentrating the sun’s rays on the curtains of her neighbor’s house but had caused the fire.Christmas is supposed to be a time express our love and goodwill towards others.It is supposed to be a time which we perform acts of kindness for people less fortunate to ourselves.But do we think of the other people when we sat down to our Christmas dinner? Of course not — we’re too busy eating those delicious foods related with Christmas.We are too busy wondering that the presents we gave were as nice or better than the one we received.They forget to think of the sick and the homeless.The whole idea of Christmas has complete changed.What a shame!

A thief broke into our house and filled his bag by our possessions when he suddenly feeling a pair of eyes on him.Looking up, he sees an eagle staring at him with cold, merciless eyes.At first the man was too frightening to move, but after ten minute he tried moving quietly towards the door.Therefore, the eyes just followed him and he couldn’t move.Eventually, my parents returned to and found the thief in our house.When my father turned the light, the thief could see that the eagle was just a toy.But it was too late and she was arrested.My father said that the toy eagle were better than any watchdog.21

Nowadays more and more students were found cheating in exams.Some copy from each other;some copy from their text books, reference books or prepared note;others use modern communication tool such as mobile phones.Cheating in exams will cause some worse effects.For one thing, it will result unfair competition and destroy the creativity of bright students.For another, students who often cheats in exams will develop bad habits and won’t be able to meet the needs of society in the future.So how can cheating in exams be stopped? On my opinion, severe punishments should be put into the effect to prevent students from cheating.At the same time, great efforts should be made to make students understood what kind of person society needs or try to build up their honesty.Dear Jack, I’m glad to learn that you will come Beijing to learn about Chinese culture as an exchange student.At the moment, I am studying English in my school but I always get better grades in my class.I’m good at the spoken English, so I’m sure I will communicate with you frequent.Beside, my parents are open and kind and is friends with many of my classmates.I believe you will be one of their friend too.Therefore, I invite you to live in my home during you stay in Beijing.I’m willing to helping you as much as I can.Best wishes!

Yours, Li Hua

第三篇：短文改错

短文改错

高考英语短文改错题要求考生判断一篇短文中十行(自1995年以来)文字是否有错，如果有错误就将其改正。

此题型旨在测试考生发现、判断并改正短文中错误的能力，以及考查考生准确运用词法、句法、行文逻辑等的综合能力。

本题型侧重考查考生的词汇和语法基础知识，但并不是单纯的知识检测，而是考查考生在阅读的过程中运用语法知识解决实际问题的能力。

纵观近几年高考短文改错，不难发现其设题方式比较固定：正确为1个，多词或缺词共计3个，错词为6个，其比例为1：3:6。

下面引用近几年的高考题来分析一下此题的三种错误类型：多词、缺词和错词。

一、多词

1.多冠词

(l)Suddenly,I caught a sight of my English teacherin the crowd.【解析lsight是不可数名词，且catch sight of是固定搭配，意为“看见”。

(2)For e】cample, when l was a child, the rain was amystery.【解析】，am为不可数名词，泛指时前面不用冠词。

【知识拓宽】

(1)不可数名词表示泛指时不用冠词。

Modern people know more about the health, havebetter food，and„

(2)与by连用的交通工具及air，land，sea等名词前不用冠词。

by bike骑自行车，by sea由海路，乘船

(3)有些名词(如school，class，hospital，church，prison，bed，table，town等)与相应介词连用，表示进行和这些词直接相关的活动时，前不用冠词。

___ _去上学，_______坐牢，_______在吃饭

(4)球类运动、棋类游戏前，不用冠词。

___ _打篮球，_______下棋

(5)mo。t副词作“非常”解时，前面不用定冠词the。

She is most pretty.她非常漂亮。

(6)。或though引导让步状语从句，构成倒装结构，前置的单数名词前不用任何冠词。

Child as he is,he knows a lot.虽然他只是孩子，知道的却很多。

2.多介词

(l)ln fact,they are planning to visit China in next yeaL

(2)We practice for three times every week..(3)So l'm really sorry that l won't be able to come inthis time.【解析】以上三例都是作时间状语的名词短语前多了介词。

(4)„but we do not seem to get much time to talkabout together.【解析】talk about意为“谈到„„”，是及物动词短语，后须接介词宾语，但根据本句语境，此处不必接宾语，故去掉about。

【知识拓宽】

(1)last night, next week, this year, one day,threetimes等名词词组直接充当时间状语，前面不用介词。

(2)有些动词在汉语中是不及物动词，在英语中却是及物动词，由于受汉语影响，可能多一个介词。

serve for the people, follow after the teacher, marrywith her,make him as our monitor,play with Tom in amatch(画线介词多余)

(3)有些表示地点的副词，其意义中已包含to，如果再加to，则多余。

on one's way to there, return to home, go to upstairs(画线介词均多余)

(4)有些副词或介词词组后加另一个介词，构成复合介词，若后面没有介词宾语，介词则多余。同样，有些动词短语是“动词十介词”结构，若后面没有介词宾语，介词则多余。

①If you won’t go，I'll go instead of.(画线介词多余)

②She listened to but heard nothing(画线介词多余)

(5)有些动词或形容词后接名词或代词时，须加一个介词，但接从句时，必须去掉介词。

②I am sorry for that he won't come(画线介词多余)

3.词义重叠

(1)Whenever I see them l will often think of myEnglish teacher.【解析】在whenever l see them这一时间状语从句后再用often显得重复，应去掉。

(2)1'11 spend all the whole weekend reading andpreparing for it.【解析】the whole weekend意为“整个周末”，再加上all，词义重叠。

【知识拓宽】

(1)有些词受汉语影响，多一副词或介词，造成词义重叠。

return back回来，repeat again重复，flee away逃走，enter into进入，blue color蓝色，stop down停下来，raiseup举起来，unpack open打开

(2)定语从句中的一个名词，已由关系代词取代，再用其替代词是多余的。

I do remember you having apologized to the old lady Imet her last week

(3)单音节的形容词或副词比较等级加-er.-est，多音节加more、most，但二者不能同时重叠使用。

As a result, people in the modern world generally livemuch more longer than people in the past.4.出现冗言现象

(l)Today l visited the Smiths-my first time visit toan American family.【解析】本句中的first修饰visit，visit此处为名词，意为“我的第一次访问”，time多余。

(2)Now I can't watch much television,but„【解析】根据上下文，此处应是“我根本不能看电视”，因此受汉语影响，多了much，造成冗言。

【知识拓宽】

(1)状语从句与主句之间多一并列连词。

①Though he tried his best, but he failed.②The more he has, and the more he wants.(2)充当状语的介词短语与主句之间多一关系代词或关系副词。

①In the last five years that they have climbed churches一②„in other places where you are limited to a certainnumber...(3)充当状语的分词与主句之间多一并列连词。

Sitting down,and he began to work.(4)从属连词后多一个that。

She was absent from the meeting because that she was ilL(5)复合宾语前多一个that。

I found that her lying on the ground.5.固定搭配中多词

(1)I was used to watch it every night.【解析】此处属于used to do与be used to两个固定搭配的误用，应去掉was，取“过去常常”之意。

(2)„in any other words,Iam only a child.【解析lin other words为固定搭配，意为“换句话说”，而any other意为“任何别的„„”，与本文上下文不符。

6.行文逻辑上多词First, let me tell you something more about myself.【解析】由first可知是刚开始向别人讲述自己的故事，故只能说something，而不能加more。

二、缺词

1.名词前缺限定词

(1)Each player must obey^captain, who is theleader of the team.the【解析】此处应加上the，特指“球队的队长”。

(2)The day before the speech contest^Englishteacher talked to me.my【解析】根据上下文分析，此处English teacher是有所指的，指的是“我的”英语老师，故加上my，表达一个更确切的概念。

(3)I'1I take this chance to wish you^ wonderful timeon your birthday.a【解析lwish sb.awonderful time为固定搭配，意为“祝某人玩得愉快”。

【知识拓宽】

(1)在“so+形容词十可数名词单数”结构中，名词前不能缺a或an。

This is so good a book that we will buy it.=This is such a good book that we will buy it.(2)little,few表示肯定时，前面不能缺a，意为“一些”。

(3)有些不可数名词(如metal, beauty, iron, tea,coffee, ice, youth, pleasure, success, failure等)，表示“一种”“一个“一份”时，应加上a或an。

Work is a pleasure to me.(4)“the+姓氏复数”表示一家人时，the不能省。

The Browns like to go skating.(5)表示“两者之中比较„„的一个”时，比较级前应加the。

He is the taller of the two boys.(6)在句中可数名词不可单独使用，前面应有限定词，如his,that,Tom's,the,a等。

When we walked to the car, Bill smiled and shook^head.his2.缺动词不定式符号to(1)I'd like very much^come but I have anexamination on Monday morning.to【解析】like后面不能直接加动词，需加to，构成固定搭配“would like to do”，意为“想做„„”。

(2)一.and will do all they can^ make sure that l geta good education to【解析】不定式作目的状语，不定式符号to不可省。

【知识拓宽】

(1)不定式作后置定语，不定式符号to不能省。

But then there are always more mysteriesAlook into:_____to

(2)-般说来，两个实义动词不能并列使用，中间常用to连接。

①7Ihe World Health()rganization and other organizationsare workingAimprove health all over the world_____to

②i had always wantedA retum to the village _____to

(3)feel, hear, let, make,have, see, notice, watch,ob。rv。等动词变成被动结构时，充当主语补足语的不定式不能省去to。

Little Tom was made to do heavy work

(4)为了避免重复前面的动词，后面的不定式常常省略，但要保留不定式符号to。

We wanted to go to the lecture, but we weren't able to

3.缺系动词

(l)neyA eager to Imow everything about China：.'were【解析】eager为形容词，必须加系动词构成系表结构。

(2)What^ your favourite sport?IS【解析】本句缺谓语动词，应加is。

(3)I'd like to^ your pen-friend, and.be/become【解析】本句考查I'd like to do结构，根据上下文，必须加上系动词。

【知识拓宽】

(1)由于受汉语语法规则的影响，有些形容词作表语时，常常缺少系动词。

She is afraid of her boss.(2)在被动结构中，由于缺少助动词，变成了主动语态，造成错误。

„and let you know when the book you want has^returned and is ready for you to pick up.been4.缺介词(l)We must keep in mind that we play for the teaminstead^ ourselves._____ of【解析linstead of为固定短语，意为“而非，而不是”，后接宾语。

(2)„but the others spent a lotA time arguing_____of【解析la lot of是固定习语，意为“许多，大量”，后加宾语。

【知识拓宽】

改错题对介词的考查，重点是一些固定搭配，再如：

WhenI have free timeI go^along walk..for，因此，同学们在学习和复习中应牢记一些固定搭配。

5.缺连词In one class,l learned^ it rained.why【解析】本句因缺连词而造成句子成分残缺，只有加上why，句子的意义才完整。

【知识拓宽】

(1)在汉语中，分句与分句之间往往不用连词，但在英语中却不行。

It began to rain,^ they had to stop working.and

(2)受母语影响，几个同类词并列连用时，它们之间往往缺一连词。

CDi told Mother, Father, Sister,^ all my friends herewhat a great time I had.and②He looked inside but saw nothing.(3)that引导的主语从句置于句首时，that常常不能省。

That light travels in straight line is known to all.(4)引导同位语从句的连词that，when等常不可省。

(DThe doctors came to the conclusion that the patientwas suffering from cancer.②i have no idea when he will return(5)在even if，even though，as if'as though等短语中，第二个连词不能少。

He walks as if/though he were drunk

三、错词

1.可数名词单复数误用

(l)They were eager to know everything about Chinaand asked me lots of question

(2)We study quite a few subject, such as maths,Chinese, English and physics.(3)We practise three times every week and oftenwatch football match on TV together.(4)She said that she and my schoolmate' all.wishedme success,.(5)„so that l'11 get good marks in all my subject.___

(6)„and many happy return of the day_____

(7)I used to love science class-all of them-biology,chemistry, geography, physics.【知识拓宽】

对名词单复数的考查是高考的热点之一，几乎每年考查一处。因此，为了对名词错误判断准确，应该：

(1)弄清名词是可数名词还是不可数名词。

We stopped to rest for a while and to drink somewaters from a stream water

(2)掌握好可数名词复数的变化规则。

There are branch library in many villages libraries

(3)要熟练运用名词的所有格。

2.时态误用

(l)We havea good tinte talking and laughing together.had

(2)I learn about you from my English teacher, MissFang.learned

(3)I was a member of our school football team am

(4)I arn happy with any programme but the othersspent a lot of time...was

(5)I remembered her words and calm down calmed

(6)They did not want me to do any w,ork at home do【知识拓宽】

动词时态是短文改错考查的热点之一，一般说来每年考查一处，而且近几年高考主要考查现在时与过去时的使用，再如：I had an examination on Monday moming.have

3.非谓语动词误用

(l)It was very kind of them to meet me.at the railwaystation and drove meto their home drive

(2)I look forward to hear from you soon hearing

(3)Play football not only makes us grow up...Playing

(4)I was often alittle tired after a day's work andwatch TV demands very little effort.watching【知识拓宽】

(1)由以上考例可见，v.-mg形式作主语、宾语或状语是考查的热点。

CDi'ii spend the whole weekend reading and preparefor it.preparing②After learn the basics of the subject, nothing elseseemed very practical to me.learning

(2)过去分词与现在分词的区别是另一考查热点。此时重点要看分词与主语或逻辑主语的关系。

①After an hour or so, we began to feel veryfrightening.frightened②„but now l am interesting in football.interested(3)被动语态中的过去分词误用成动词原形。

Books may be keep for four weeks.kept(4)掌握好动词不定式带to与不带to的差异。

(5)有些动词后接不定式，有些动词后接动名词，应分别牢记这些动词。

4.主谓不一致

(1)Playing football not only makes us grow up talland strong but alsoglve us a sense of fair play and teamspirit.gives

(2)Now my picture and the prize is hanging in thelibrary.are【知识拓宽】

(1)谓语动词的单复数一般取决于前面主语的单复数。

Anyone may borrow books, and it cost nothing toborrow them.costs

(2)not only;一but also, neither.—nor.一，either.or..-等并列连词连接两个主语时，谓语动词的单复数应采取就近一致原则。

(3)There be结构中，谓语动词也应采取就近一致原则。

But then there is always more mysteries to look into.are

(4)注意把集合名词(如family，class，team等)和不定代词(如all，none等)放在具体语境中，判断其谓语动词的单复数。

5.代词不一致

(l)The Smiths did his best to make me feel at home.their

(2)And they must not break the rules too often if wewant to win the game.we(3)Now someone at home reads instead.everyone/everybody【知识拓宽】

(1)根据上下文判断，出现了代词不一致。

①1 felt that it helped me understand how the worldworks.they②They have been to Europe many timesWe

(2)倾向于考查学生对不定代词、形容词性物主代词、名词性物主代词以及代词的主格与宾格等诸方面知识的掌握与运用能力。

And I can’t forget the good food you cooked forl me

(3)人称代词性别上的误用也是常见的错误形式之一。

6.连词误用

(l)~esaid that she and my schoolmates all wished mesuccass,but it didn’t matter thatI would win or notwhether【解析】it为形式主语，whether l would win or not是真正的主语，意为“我是否能赢”。

(2)lt looks as if my parents treat me as a visitor andaguest.or【解析】句意为：看起来我的父母亲把我当成了“visitor”或“guest”。二者为选择关系而非并列关系，故将and改为or。

(3)It is a very important exam butI can't afford tofail it.and/so【解析】此处应是并列或因果关系，而非转折关系。

【知识拓宽】

(1)正确掌握各连词的含义及其在从句中的应用。

①„because I felt that they helped me understandwhat the world works.how②Most people can quickly get help from a doctor orgo to a hospital sir ce they areill when/if

(2)熟练应用表示并列、选择、转折、因果等关系的连词：and, or, but, so, therefore, however等.①She was smiling but nodding at me.and②Therefore, there are still some countries wherepeople have shorter lives.However

(3)弄清whether和if的含义及用法区别。

„and whether you pay the cost of sending apostcard,the librarian will write to you.if

7.关系代词与关系副词误用

I live inBeijing,where is the capital of China.which【解析】此处是非限制性定语从句，关系代词which作主语。

【知识拓宽】

(1)正确区分关系代词之间的区别，尤其是that和which的区别。

„in other places you are limited to.a certainnumber, of that some may be novels.which

(2)正确区分关系代词与关系副词的区别，并掌握它们的用法。

However,there are still some countries there peoplehave shorter lives.where

8.词性误用

(1)Also the sport teaches us the important ofobedience.importance【解析】本句应该用名词importance作动词teach的直接宾语。

(2)Unfortunate, there are too many people in myfamily.Unfortunately【解析】此处应该用副词unfortunately作状语，意为“不幸的是”。

(3)After learning the basics of the subject,nothingelse seemed very practically to me.practical【解析】。eem为系动词，后面应接形容词作表语。

【知识拓宽】

词性误用指的是动词与名词混淆，副词与形容词混淆等。这就要求我们在平时学习中重视词性及各类词在句中的基本功能。再如：

I'm sure we'IIhave 8 wonderfully time together.wonderful

9.限定词误用

(1)Today I visited the Smiths-my first visit to aAmerican family.an【解析】American为元音音素开头的单词，故应用部定冠词 an

(2)wemay be one family and live under a sameroof，„the【解析】same意为“同样的”，前面应加定冠词the。

10.近义词混用They did not want me to do any work at family......home【解析】family侧重指“家庭这个结构或家里的人。，而home则侧重指“家庭的所在地”。因此，“在家里”应用athome。

【知识拓宽】

在英语中，有许多同义词、近义词和反义词，在平时学习中应抓好基础，牢记每一个词的基本含义。再如：.Uncle Ben will alsogo back for Christmas.come总之，平时学习中应加强对基础知识的积累，熟练掌握高考词汇、基本词法、句法，同时还应加强阅读能力的训练。因为，较快的阅读速度、较好的语感和牢固的基础知识是做好短文改错的重要前提。平时训练短文改错时，不应只是为了做题而做题，而应善于总结、摸索答题的规律。

参考答案

一、1.(3)go to school;in prison;at table(4)play basketball;play chess

三、1.(1)question-*questions(2)subject—subjects(3)match-*matches(4)schoolmate—+ schoolmates(5)subject-+ subjects(6)return—.retums(7)class-classes
