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。

①l never knew about a ride down a river could be soexciting.(画线介词多余)

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】

(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。

( 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】

(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。
