17、、语态以及非谓语动词常出现在总体时态为过去或现在时中间杂有另一时态的现象,以及动词的谓语与非谓语形式、非谓语动词之间的误用。如. make改为made 考查时态。根据上下文,应用一般过去时,故make改为made。3.代词的误用主要是代词的格与数的错用。如男性用了女性代词,单数用了复数代词或相反;应当用形容词性的物主代词用了名词性等。4.数词的误用主要是序数词与基数词的混用和错用,以及hundred, thousand, dozen, score等词和具体数量词连用时的用法以及表示约数的用法。5.形容词与副词主要涉及到形容词和副词的原级、比较级与最高级的误用,以及形容词和副词的误用以及名词和形
18、容词的混用等。如fluent改为fluently 考查副词,根据动词应用副词修饰,故fluent改为fluently6.考查英语中的并列现象在一些英语中的并列结构中没有用并列的语法结构,如并列连词连接的两个部分等。7.考查上下文的逻辑关系but, and, so,however, otherwise等一些并列连词和连接副词的误用。before, after, when, until, since等状语从句引导词的误用等。还有肯定和否定的误用等。8.一些相似结构的误用如used to do, be used to do, be used to doing等结构的误用。9.惯用法的搭配改错步骤 上
19、述9个方面,同学们在做题时只要稍加留意,找出错误的比率就会增大很多。做短文改错题时一般遵循以下几个步骤: 1.先通读全文。认真阅读短文,在做题之前确保已经弄清原文大意。注意文章中上下文的逻辑关系是否正确,时态、人称、主谓、指代等是否一致。 2.聚焦出题热点、综合运用所学语言知识,分句(注意以句子为单位而不是以行为单位)对不同的错误情况进行分析和回答(即改词、加词或减词)。 3.再次通读全文,校对自己的改正是否正确。一般各种改错的方式都应该用到,如果出现了某一种改法(如加词、减词等)没有用到,要考虑自己的改错应该有问题,要对刚才不是很有把握的行进行推敲。在自己认为正确的行后划勾,并且校对其他行改
20、正的符号是否准确,大小写是否拼写正确(这点同学们很容易忽视)。如果某一行有两种改错方式要推敲哪一种是最佳改法。20. 请修改下面的短文。短文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(),并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2. 只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。Once upon a time there was a rich man.
