高考英语短文改错测试重点及分类解析 ‎  第一章  短文改错测试重点及分类解析 ‎  根据短文改错的命题特点, 我们可以按照以下四步进行备考快速练习。‎ ‎  第一步: 审题。通读全文, 了解大意。全面把握文章整体(时态、 题材及内容)。‎ ‎  第二步: 重读全文, 应先确定一些明显的错误, 以便疏通短文, 化繁为简, 为后面解题打开思路。许多问题可在这一阶段得到解决。从词法、 句法到行文逻辑三方面着手, 逐句而不是逐行地分析、 找错。‎ ‎  第三步: 综观全篇, 看错误类型的比例是否得当、 前后逻辑是否一致、 有无前后矛盾等现象。‎ ‎  第四步: 认真检查, 避免出现以下错误: 符号不规范; 一个词改为几个或几个改为一个; 该大写的未大写; 合成词只改了其中一部分等。‎ ‎  下面,我们根据词性不同, 来对改错题目进行分类解析。‎ ‎  第一节 名 词 ‎  在短文改错中见到名词时, 应检查是否有数、 格及名词前限定词用法等错误。汉语中的名词在形式上无复数变化, 而是通过在名词前加数词来表示; 英语则不同, 除了在名词前加数词之外, 如果是可数名词, 还应将该名词变为复数形式。‎ ‎  1. 检查句中名词的单复数形式是否符合句意。‎ ‎  2. 检查句中有无可数名词和不可数名词的误用。‎ ‎  3. 检查句中有无所有格的误用。‎ ‎  4. 检查句中有无名词前限定词的误用。‎ ‎  练 习 ‎  请改正下列句子中的语法错误, 注意名词的使用。‎ ‎  1. He is on good term with me.‎ ‎  2. He is a generous fellow, and will soon make friend with you again.‎ ‎  3. His opinion is considered to be great value.‎ ‎  4. He sent his daughter to a girl’s high school.‎ ‎  5. Give me three spoonful of sugar.‎ ‎  6. His eyes are as blue as a Scandinavian.‎ ‎  7. A few peoples live to be a hundred years old.‎ ‎  8. Aunt Mary returned home after ten year’s absence.‎ ‎  9. He is a friend of my brother.‎ ‎  10. The observation of the law is the first duty of every citizen.‎ ‎  ‎ ‎  第二节 动词的谓语形式 ‎  一、 谓语动词的时态 ‎  1. 掌握各种时态的用法 ‎  2. 注意时态的协调一致 ‎  1)在简单句中, 时态要与时间状语一致。‎ ‎  2)当两个或两个以上的谓语共用一个主语时, 其时态要求一致。‎ ‎  3)由并列连词连接的两个句子, 时态上也要求一致。‎ ‎  4)当遇到宾语从句和间接引语时, 若其主句是过去时, 则在从句中也必须使用过去时。但是当宾语从句表示的是客观事实和真理时, 一般用一般现在时。‎ ‎  5)与宾语从句一样, 主语从句、 表语从句和同位语从句的时态也要求和主句的时态一致。‎ ‎  6)定语从句和状语从句也要与主句的时态相呼应, 当从句谓语表示的动作与主句的动作同时发生时, 要用相同的时态。‎ ‎  二、 谓语动词的语态 ‎  1. 检查句子是否该用被动语态。‎ ‎  2. 检查被动语态形式是否正确。‎ ‎  3. 检查被动语态的时态与句中其他时态是否相呼应, 其数是否与其主语一致。‎ ‎  三、 谓语动词的语气 ‎  虚拟语气是动词的一种特殊形式, 用来表示说话人所说的话不是客观存在的事实, 而是一种与事实相反的愿望、 可能、 推测、 建议、 要求、 假设或主观的设想等。改错时应特别注意:‎ ‎  1. 虚拟语气在条件句中的应用。‎ ‎  2. 虚拟语气在宾语从句中的应用。‎ ‎  3. 虚拟语气在主语从句中的应用。‎ ‎  四、 情态动词 ‎  下列用法常是短文改错的焦点:‎ ‎  1. must表示“必须, 不得不”时, 其否定式是needn’t或do not have to; must not则表示“不许, 禁止”。‎ ‎  2. need与dare既可作情态动词, 也可作实义动词; 而作实义动词时, 若要构成问句和否定句, 就需要助动词do/does/did。‎ ‎  3. “can+have+过去分词”结构用在疑问句和否定句中, 表示对过去的事情所作的推测。‎ ‎  4. “could+have+过去分词”结构除用来表示对过去的事情所作的推测外, 还可用来表示某事有可能在过去发生, 但实际上并没有发生。‎ ‎  5. “may/might+have+过去分词”结构用来表示对过去的事情所作的推测。(“可能已经……了”)‎ ‎  6. “must+have+过去分词”结构用来表示对过去的事情所作的肯定判断。(“……一定已经……了吧”)‎ ‎  7. “should/ought to+have+过去分词”结构用来表示过去应做而未做的事, 含有自责或责备的语气。(“本来应该……的”)‎ ‎  8. “need not+have+过去分词”结构用来表示过去做了没有必要做的事。(“本来不必……的”)‎ ‎  练 习 ‎  1.
