如何改错
短文改错的类型(一)
一、一致性问题
1.主谓一致
1)What are your favourite sport?(’97)is这是对疑问句主谓一致的考查。
2)Play football not only makes us grow up tall…(’98)Playing
动词原形加-ing构成动名词形式,与谓语动词makes一致。
3)Now my picture and the prize is hanging in the library.(2000)are
主语为复数概念“我的照片和奖牌”。
2.时态一致
1)It was very kind of them to meet me at the railway station and drove me to their home.
(’96)drive
连词and连接的是两个并列的动作meet和drive。
2)They offered me coffee and other drinks.
We have a good time talking and laughing.
(’96)had
整篇文章记述过去发生的事情,用的是过去时。
3)Hello,I learn about you from my English teacher,…(’97)learned
从教师那儿知道,是过去发生的行为,故须用过去时。
4)My favourite sport is football.
I was a member of our school football team.(’98)am 整篇文章描述现在的情况,用的是一般现在时。此句也应改为一般现在时。
5)…not only makes us…but also give us a sense of fair play…(’98)gives“not only…”连接的应是两个相等的成份,用第三人称单数。
6)I am happy with any programme but the others spent a lot of time arguing…(’99)was
此句描述的是过去的事情,且下句也是用的过去时,故要改为was。
7)I remembered her words and calm down.
(2000)calmed
连词and连接两个相等的成份。
3.名词的单复数一致
1)…and asked me lots of question.
(’96)questions
“question”为可数名词,用在lotsof后面,应加-s。
2)We study quite a few subject,such as maths,…(’97)subjects
A few后面应跟可数名词的复数形式。
3)…and often watch football match on TV…
(’98)matches
经常观看足球赛,足球赛应为复数形式。
4)She said that she and my schoolmate all wished me success,…(2000)schoolmates
此处同学为复数概念,应加上-s。
4.代词的性、数一致
1)The Smiths did his best to make me feel…(’96)their
主语The Smiths用以指代一家人或夫妇俩,后面的代词应该用their。
2)And they must not break the rules too often if we want to win the games.(’98)we
全文谈论的都是“我们”的事,此处也应一致。
3)Some wanted to see the programme while others preferred another.(’99)one
此句考查表示三者以上的代词搭配one…another。
4)The day before the speech contest English teacher…(2000)my
可数名词前通常要加修饰语。此句虽然有English,但指代不明。根据上下文,加上my比较贴切。
5.语意一致
She was smiling but nodding at me.
(2000)and
微笑和点头在语意上是并列的关系。
高考短文改错的类型(二)
二、词义的重叠
1.Today I visited the Smiths———my first time visit to…(’96)
这一题是考查英汉不同的表达习惯。汉语的“第一次访问”,英语说my first visit即可,time是多余的。
2.First,let me tell you something more about myself.(’97)
因为是头一次交朋友,以前并不了解,无所谓“更多”。more明显是多余的。
3.Now I can’t watch much television but a few years ago I used to watch it every night…and there was no way of settling the matter except by selling the set.(’99)
此题难度较大。它在语义上出现重叠,但答案一直到短文最后一句才出现。电视机既已卖掉,就不可能再看了,更不可能看“很多”。故要去掉much。
4.Whenever I see them I often think of my English teacher.(2000)
此题易受汉语的影响,造成语意上的重叠。“每当我看见它们,我总会想起我的英语教师。”但英语中whenever之后一般不用often。
三、从句引导词
I live in Beijing,where is the capital of China.
(’97)which
考查定语从句中关系代词与关系副词的用法。此处where应改为which,因为它在定语从句中作主语。
NMET短文改错题错误类型例析
一、名词错误
名词错误主要考查名词单复数错误。确定名词单复数的方法:①看修饰语。可数名词前若有数词及many, a lot of, quite a few, one of…, all the (one’s)…等修饰时,要用复数。②主谓的一致。③可数名词前无单数修饰语,一定要用复数。④看其他限定。

二、冠词错误
冠词是英语中特有的词类。由于汉语中没有相对应的词类,所以中国学生对它的用法感到非常难以掌握。短文改错对冠词的考查几乎年年都有,但多是基本用法如,不可数名词表泛指,前面多冠词;专有名词前多冠词;单数可数名词前缺冠词;不定冠词a, an与定冠词the的误用以及固定搭配中的冠词错误等。
[例题]

四、词性错误
根据词在句中的位置及与其他词的修饰与被修饰的关系来确定词的正确形式,词在句中不同的句法功能要求使用相应的词性。词性误用包括形容词副词误用和其他词性误用。连系动词后或名词前用形容词,修饰行为动词、形容词副词、过去分词或整个句子用副词。

五、时态与语态错误
时态错误情况:根据语境用错时态; 根据句子结构或句意用错时态; 根据连词对称性原则用错时态及根据时间状语用错时态。解题时应根据特定的语境、特定的时间状语提示,正确调整时态。
语态错误是该用被动语态却用了主动语态或不能用于被动语态的词如happen, take place, occur, sell well, belong to等却用了被动语态。
