短文改错题方法指导
做短文改错题应注意以下几个步骤：
一、首先通读短文，初步理解短文大意，同时改正一些较容易的错误。短文中的一些句子就其本身来看，无法确定划线部分错在何处，只有通读全文，了解句子与句子之间的关系，特别是划线部分与上下文的关系，才能找出正确答案。如：“When his mother was out, the telephone rang and Jimmy answered them.”一句中，只有读懂句中划线部分指上文中的telephone，才能写出正确答案it。
二、在通读短文的基础上，一句一句地仔细阅读短文。 （一）从语法分析入手
1)冠词a; an; the或省冠词（如不可数名词）
2)区别可数、不可数。若是可数名词则应注意该单数还是复
数（且注意复数的变化形式是否正确。
3)形、副区别：①判定该形还是副。②注意形、副的比较等
级（且注意变化形式）。
4)代词：①区别主格、宾格。②区别形容词性物主代词与名
词性物主代词。③区别this / that、these / those、one / ones、it / them。④不定代词（区别二者与三者；单数还是复数；肯定还是否定）
5)动词：① 时态、语态（主谓一致、动词各种变化形式是
否正确）及非谓语形式——不定式和动名词。② 动词短语的固定形式（如listen to与listen）。③ 区别近义词（如hear与listen to）。
6)数词：判定该基数词还是序数词（以及序数词的变化形
式）。
7)介词：正确区别、运用介词。 8)连词：正确区别、运用连词。
（二）从句子结构判定所用词是否恰当（重点从句子成分的角度着手，该用何词性）。
（三）注意固定搭配（如the way to …）。
三、用改正后的答案代替相应的划线部分，从头到尾反复阅读短文，验证改正的答案是否正确。
下列短文的划线部分可能有误，正确的划“√”，错误的请改正。
