高考冲刺：短文改错
题型介绍
高考英语短文改错历来是考生的一个难点，因为它考查的是考生的综合语言运用能力，考查内容涵盖英语语言的各个层面。短文改错分为两种形式：含有10处错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词增加、删除或修改；对标有题号的每一行做出判断，或增加，或删除，或修改，全文共有9处错误，有一行是对的。
解题技巧
改错步骤
1. 通读全文，了解短文大意。把握全篇的时态、人称及行文逻辑，尤其是有的行文逻辑方面的错误在看单句时难以发现错误（比如前文用Mike，后文代词用she等）。在通读全文时把一些容易的错误先改好，再进行分句改错。
2. 分句阅读，逐行找错。在完成第一步后，要进行逐行逐句的改错。这时要从文中的词法、句法和语篇角度着重分析和特别注意。注意不能改变句子的原意，也不能改掉原来正确的词语而换成了另一种正确的表达形式，如某些定语从句中that与which的互换是不给分的。
3. 最后把改好的短文再阅读一遍，检查答案是否正确，感觉是否还有不妥之处，最终形成定稿。注意严格按照例题要求和解题说明，用规定的符号去改，不要用文字去说明或者用箭头表示，更不能在原题中乱画。
答题时可以从以下几点考虑：
《
1. 句中的时态、主谓、代词一致吗
2. 句中的谓语完整吗
3. 习惯用法固定搭配正确吗
4. 冠词、形容词、副词及关系词得当吗
5. 该用被动语态吗
6. 从句的连接词对了吗
7. 从句中的谓语完整吗

Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and I rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, and I needed to stay in a hospital for at least two week. I called my parents, so I did not tell them what had happened. I knew that they will be worried about myself because I was so farther away, and that my mother would not sleep if she knew. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was the right thing to do. (浙江)

Thank you for the lovely day we have with you. It was so kind for you to let us bring Anne’s friend, Gina. Unfortunate, the only problem was the journey home. There had been a terrible accident on the highway and, for a result, there was a long line of traffic for at least six mile. In the end, we drove to a service station and waited there unless the road was clear. In the car park here Gina nearly got knocked over as car drove out far too quickly from behind a lorry. They finally dropped Gina off at her parents’ and made our own way to home. (辽宁)

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you opinion about water saving.
Water is important. We, as well as animal, cannot live
without water and neither agriculture or industry can go
"
without it. Yet it seemed water is becoming less and less.
Many countries in the world find we don’t have enough water.
To deal with a problem, I think, we should first go all
out to plant trees though trees will help save water. Next, no
drinking water should be left running. Third, we should find
ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath
water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
