短文改錯專項訓練三大原則
1. 實詞以改變形式為原則
在改錯中，實詞的處理壹般只是改變它的形式，而不能改變其詞義也不能改換成另壹個實詞，更不能隨便給添刪。如：
(1) Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English.
解析本題考查的是enjoy後接動名詞的用法。但是有些同學的改法是把enjoy刪掉，原句就變成了Soon I began to talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English。這樣做雖然改正了語法錯誤，但是也改變了原來的句子所要表達的意思，故不能這樣改。本題的正確改法是把talk改為talking。
(2) Finding information on the Net is easily. But not all…
解析應把easily改為easy。因為壹般的副詞不能作表語，而應用形容詞。切記不要換成 simple 或其他的近義形容詞。simple意思為很普通，很常見，(所以很簡單)，而easy就是簡單的意思，從難度上來表達的。兩者表達的角度不壹樣。
2. 以保持原意不變為原則
壹般應遵循保持句子原意的原則，即不能改變文章或作者所表達的`意思，包括其語氣和上下文的邏輯關系。只對短文中的用詞錯誤、語法錯誤、行文關系錯誤進行改正，且要小改而不大改。如：
(1) …are still many people living in poor conditions. They make their lives. (廣東卷)
分析lives→living。make a / one’s living 為壹固定短語。只需將 lives 改成 living 就可以了，不要將 their lives 改為 a living。
(2) But I have spent most my money, so I cannot… (四川卷)
解析在my前加 of。也有同學去掉 most，這種改法雖改正了語法錯誤，但改變了原意。作者想說的是“花掉了大部分的錢，而不是全部”。
3. 虛詞以添加或刪除為原則
歷年高考題需要添加或刪除的地方為三四處。這些需要添刪的詞壹般是冠詞、代詞、介詞、關系詞等，而動詞、名詞等的添刪則不是很常見，因為太容易改變句子的原意。
(1) From his answer we shall know the something now.
解析不定代詞前不能加冠詞，所以故去掉the。
(2) Then I began to pay more attention my pronunciation.
解析固定搭配pay attention to後缺少介詞to，應加上。

I have come in China for two years. My friends in 1. __________
England sometimes write to me, ask me how long 2. __________
I’ll stay here, when I’m thinking of returning 3. __________
home. The answer of their questions is simple: I 4. __________
do not know when I return home. At the moment, 5. __________
I have no reason to return back to England. I like 6. __________
living in China; I enjoy meeting Chinese people 7. __________
and travel around the country. My work is very 8. __________
interested, and there are so many things I don’t know 9. __________
about China that I hope to discover it in the future. 10. ________
答案解析
1. 將come改為been。come是終止性動詞，不與時間段連用。
2. 將ask改為asking。現在分詞作伴隨狀語。
3. 在when前加and。 when引導的從句與how long引導的從句是兩個並列的賓語從句(作asking的賓語)。
4. 將of改為to。在answer, key, way, entrance等名詞後，習慣上用介詞to。
5. 在return前加will。這是將來時。註意：不要誤以為when引導的是時間狀語從句，用壹般現在時代替將來時。事實上，when引導的是賓語從句。
6. 去掉back或將return改為go。因為return=go back。
7. 此行正確。
8. 將travel改為traveling。因為traveling與meeting並列，作enjoy的賓語。
9. 將interested改為interesting。表示某事物“令人……的”用-ing形容詞；-ed形容詞則表示某人“感到……的”。
10. 將it改為them。因為此處是指many things。

chance to improve my spoken English level as much 9. __________
as possibly. I believe I will have a wonderful time 10. _________
in England this summer.
答案解析
1. 把invite改為inviting。現在分詞作定語修飾offer。
2. 此行正確。
3. 把five-weeks改為five-week。“數詞+連字符號+名詞”作定語，其中的名詞要用單數。
4. 把allows改為allow。在助動詞will, would及情態動詞can, may, must等後面，永遠要用動詞原形。
5. 把learned改為learning。while learning=while I’m learning。
6. 在language前加the。特指英語這種語言。
7. 把In改為Of。subjects“科目”，English是其中壹個“科目”，表示最高級的比較範圍，若是整體與個別的關系，就用of。指時間、地點範圍，才用in。
8. 去掉me。主語希望自己做某事，直接用hope to do sth，事實上，也不能用hope sb to do sth這壹句型。
9. 去掉level。這是中文式英語。improve=make…better。
10. 把possibly改為possible。as…as possible(盡……)是習語。

hard work, he looks old than his age. When I was 3. __________

but also very strict in me. With his help, I’ve made 8. __________
great progress. I’ll never to forget what he taught 9. __________
me. I think my father is best father in the world. 10. _________
答案解析
1.was 改為 is。根據上下文的時態可知。
2. 第壹個year改為years。因它受 forty-five 的修飾。
3. old 改為 older。因其後有表示比較的 than。
4. 去掉is。比較：used to=過去經常，be used to=習慣於。
5. 此行無錯。
6. advices 改為 advice。advice 為不可數名詞。
7. good 改為 well。修飾動詞要用副詞，不用形容詞。
8. in 改為 with。be strict in後接某事，be strict with後接某人。
9. 去掉to。因助動詞will後要接動詞原形，不能接不定式。
10. best 前加 the。形容詞最高級前通常要加定冠詞。

Mary is my best friend. We’re all from Henan, 1. _____
but now I live in Beijing when she lives in 2. _____
Guangzhou. We don’t look each other very often, 3. _____
but we’re keep in touch all the time. I often write 4. _____
to Mary and telling her about the things that 5. _____
are happened at my company, and she often 6. _____
writes to me about her work. We talk on phone 7. _____
once a week. Sometime I call her on her 8. _____
car phone, or we send e-mail to each other. 9. _____
We’re really luck. There are so many ways 10. ____
we can keep in touch with each other.
答案解析
1. all改為both。指Mary和作者兩個人。
2. when改為and或while。因為兩個分句沒有主從關系。而是並列關系，或者有對比或對照的含義。
3. look改為see。因為此句意為“兩個人不能經常見面(see)”。
4. 去掉keep或把we’re改為we。因為keep是動詞，若不是進行時態或被動語態，動詞前不用be，但句中沒有動詞時必用be。所以去掉keep或去掉are，
5. telling改為tell。tell和write是並列謂語。
6. happened改為happening。因為這是現在進行時態。
7. phone前加the。因為on the phone是習語，意為“用電話(交談)”。
8. Sometime改為Sometimes。此處表示“有時候”，而不是表示“某個不定的時候”。
9. 此行正確。
10. luck改為lucky。用形容詞作表語。

be bad for our eyes. Anyway, we’d better to make 9. _____
quick decision because the price may go up soon. 10. ____
答案解析
1. in改為into。in“在……裏”表靜態的位置；而into則表動態的位置，意為“進入”。
2. and改為but。前後句之間是轉折關系。
3. a改為the。這裏表特指，指要買的電視機的大小。
4. 此行正確。
5. 去掉第壹個for。“把A物換成B物”的英語表達是change A for B。文章中該句句意為“幾年之後就要把小電視換成大電視”。
6. no改為not。因為no是形容詞，修飾名詞，而necessary是形容詞，所以要用副詞not來修飾。
7. said改為says。因為上下文都是用的壹般現在時，這裏指現在的思想，現在的想法。
8. they改為it。這裏指的是the big television。
9. 去掉to。had better後接動詞原形。
10. quick前加a。make a decision意為“作出決定”。
