高考英语短文改错常考考点及历年真题

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.

注释

1. term → terms, term的复数形式表示条件、关系，on good terms with...意为“与……关系良好”。

2. friend → friends, make friends with...与某人交朋友。

3. be great value → be of great value, v alue是名词，be of+名词=be+形容词。即of great value=greatly valuable。

4. girl’s → girls’，女子高中是a girls’ high school。

5. spoonful → spoonfuls, spoonful是可数名词。

6. scandinavian → Scandinavian’s。.

7. peoples → people此处people作“人讲”，是复数名词。

8. year’s → years’。

9. brother → brother’s应是brother’s friends, 其后做了省略。

10. observation → observance(遵守), observation意为观察。

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. After they had chose the books they wished to read, the instructor told them the principal points he wanted them to note.

2. When I reach at the end of a cigarette, my money has gone up in smoke.

9. I hope you can visit my country soon, because I’d to show you some lf. the beautiful places near my home.

10. My father mustn’t have said such a thing.

注释

1. had chose → had chosen.

2. reach at → reach, reach是及物动词。

3. raises above → rises above, raise是及物动词，rise是不及物动词。

4. leave → let.

5. had dove → had dived.

6. will → would.

7. you read → you to read. would you like其后加不定式。

8. will → would.

9. I’d to → I’d love/like to.

10.must n’t → can’t，否定推测要用can’t或couldn’t, can’t + have + p.p.表示对过去事情否定推测。

第三节动词的非谓语形式

一、动词不定式

1. 不定式可作主语。

2. 当不定式的逻辑主语是动作的承受者时，一般要用不定式的被动式。但是在某些形容词后面，即使是这样，也不用被动式。

3. 某些动词后面只能跟不定式作宾语。

4.当不定式作宾语，且后面又有宾语补足语时，通常用it作形式宾语来代替不定式，而把不定式后置。

5. had better, would rather than等词的后面只跟不带to的不定式。

6. 动词不定式的一般式表示它与谓语动词同时发生，或在其后发生；其完成式则表示动作发生在谓语动词之前。但要注意动词plan, expect, wish, intend, mean, want, would(should) like等后面的不定式的完成式表示原打算要做而最终未做成的事情。

二、动词的-ing形式改错指导

以下动词只能跟-ing形式作宾语，不能跟不定式。如：advise, admit, avoid, allow, consider, delay, enjoy, escape, excuse, finish, appreciate, imagine, include, mention, miss, prevent, quit, resist, risk, stand, suggest, understand等。

三、过去分词改错指导

注意下列几组动词的-ing形式和过去分词之间的区别：surprising(令人吃惊的)，surprised(感到惊讶的)；interesting(令人感兴趣的)，interested(感兴趣的)；disappointing(令人失望的)，disappointed(感到失望的)；encouraging(令人鼓舞的)，encouraged(感到鼓舞的)

注释

1. was used to → used to，used to +动词原形表示过去的习惯，be used to+名词/动名词表示习惯的持续。

2. speak → to speak，感观动词/使役动词改为被动语态时，要将主动态时省去的“to”还原。

3. say → said，said是过去分词作补足语，而it是形式主语。

4. to read → reading, enjoy其后只可加动名词。

5. to go → go, let是使役动词，其后接不带to的不定式作补足语。

6. understand → understood, make oneself understood译为“使别人了解自己的意图即自己被别人理解”。

7. to keep → keeping，avoid其后加动名词作宾语。

8. my offer was accepted by him → he accepted my offer，分词短语smiling graciously的动作执行者是he，而不是my offer。

9. to go → go，had better其后接动词原形。

10.giving up to smoke → giving up smoking, advise sb. to do sth.,而give up 其后接动名词或名词。

第四节形容词与副词

在短文改错中见到形容词和副词时，检查句中是否误把形容词作副词或误把副词用作形容词，尤其是一些词形完全一样的形容词与副词。

1. 检查句中形容词与副词的位置是否正确。

2. 若句中有系动词，检查其后跟的是形容词还是副词。

2. respect able → respectful(恭敬的), respectable(可尊敬的)。

3. uncapable → unable/uncap able to tell或incapable of telling, capable的反义词是incapable, be unable to+动词原形，be incapable of + doing(没有能力做)。

5. happily → happy, 这里是宾语+宾语补足语。

6. differently → different, look是感观动词，其后要用形容词修饰其主语。

8. is woolen → (made) of wool, 该句还可写为“This is a woolen shirt.” woolen 只可用作定语，不可用作表语。

三、反身代词改错指导

表示“某人自己”的代词称作反身代词。它在句中可作宾语、同位语和状语，但不能作主语。在使用反身代词时，同样要注意其单复数和人称必须与所指代的名词一致。

四、不定代词改错指导

常用的不定代词有some, any, no, none, many, much, few, little, each, every, one, all, both, either, other, another, others及由some, any, no, every构成的复合词。不定代词的用法较复杂，需要考生特别注意。

答案及解析

1. On改为In。in the morning为固定搭配。

2. dry前加a。一般来讲，三餐前不加任何冠词，但当三餐前有形容词修饰时，则必须在形容词前加不定冠词。如：We usually have breakfast at eight. I have

a wonderful breakfast this morning.

3. is后加to。此处为不定式作表语。

4. Which改为It。此处应用it指代前文的an English Speech contest，如用which指代则无主句。

5. begins改为begin。will后需用动词原形与will共同构成谓语部分。

6. 此行无错。

7. Someone改为Everyone。everyone侧重整体，指“每个人”；someone 侧重个体，意为“某个人”。

8. Those后加who。此处用who引导定语从句。

9. go改为come。根据文章第一句话可知，此通知发出者是the Students’ Union。所以要用come而不用go。

10. 删去it。此句中已有宾语your names，不需用it。

Exercise 3

Listening to foreign broadcast easier 1. _______

if we know something about. There are clues 2. _______

that can help us. One clue is the time of 3. _______

day. Morning programs usually contains many 4. _______

short items of news, informations, etc. The 5. _______

getting ready to going to work in the 7. _______

morning. Often we do not have time listen 8. _______

to long programs. There are time for more 9. _______

details about the subjects discuss in evening programs.10. ______

答案及解析

1. easier前加is。此处应构成“主语+系动词+表语”句型。

2. about后加it。about是介词，后面应接名词、代词、动名词作宾语。

3. 此行无错。

4. contains改为contain。主谓一致错误。主语programs为复数形式。

5. informations改为information。information为不可数名词。

6. 删去because后面的of。because后面应接一个句子；而because of后面应接名词、代词、动名词。

7. going改为go。be ready to do sth.为固定短语，意为“准备做某事”。

8. listen前为to。have time to do sth.意为“有时间做某事”。

9. are改为is。主谓一致错误。主语time为不可数名词，谓语应用单数形式。

10. discuss改为discussed。非谓语动词错误。此处动词discuss与其逻辑主语subjects应为被动关系，故用discussed作定语。

Exercise 4

Life on earth depends the sun. Day after 1. _______

day we see its light and feel its warm, but we 2. _______

do not often consider about its origin. 3. _______

Yet there are many remarkable things about the 4. _______

sun. One is their distance from the earth. Even 5. _______

if it could be made, a trip to the sun would spend a long 6. _______

time even by the fastest rocket. 7. _______

The sun is a large satellite. The planet 8. _______

earth is very small in comparison. The sun make 9. _______

us to feel hot, even at a distance of 93 million miles. 10. ______

答案及解析

1. depend后加on。此处depend为不及物动词，应与on连用，表示“依赖，依靠”。

2. warm改为warmth。warm为形容词，在its后应用名词warmth作feel的宾语。

3. 删去about。此处consider为及物动词，直接接宾语。

4. 此行无错。

5. their改为its。依上文此处指代“太阳的”。

6. spend改为take。take应由物作主语，表示时间或金钱的花费，而spend 则通常用人作主语。

7. by改为in。in the fastest rocket为固定用法，表示具体的运输工具。

8. satellite改为star。satellite意为“卫星”，star多用来指恒星。

9. make改为makes。此处make应与主语第三人称单数the sun保持一致。

10. 删去to。当不定式作make的宾语补足语时，应省略to。

Exercise 5

After I finished the school this year, I began to 1. _______

look for work. Now several month later, I still hadn’t2. _______

found the job that I was interested. Last Sunday morning3. _______

I received a phone call from a man calling him Mr. Smith. 4. _______

He said to me on the phone, “I hear you do very 5. _______

well in your studies. I may provide a job for you.” I entered 6. _______

his office with a beaten heart. How I hoped that I 7. _______

will go through the job -hunting talk today and he would8. _______

take me on as a lab assistant. But to my surprised, 9. _______

what he said disappointing. He only needed a model. 10. ______

答案及解析

1. 删去the。冠词错误。finish school意为“完成学业，毕业”，school为抽象名词，前不加冠词。

2. month改为months。名词单复数错误。several修饰可数名词复数形式。

3. interested后加in。介词错误。be interested in是固定词组。

4. him改为himself。代词错误，根据文意应为“自称是”。

5. do改为did。动词错误。句意应为“我听说你(过去)学习不错”，因为现已毕业。

6. 此行无错。

7. beaten改为beating。非谓语动词错误。a beating heart相当于a heart which is beating。

8. will改为would。动词时态错误。主句是过去时，宾语从句要用相应的时态。

9. surprised改为surprise。to one’s surprise/joy为习语搭配，只能是名词。

10. said后加was。动词谓语漏用错误。What he said是主语从句，was disappointing是谓语。

Exercise 6

Once an old man saw a bag on his way to home. 1. _______

In the bag there was a wolf. It was catching and put in 2. _______

the bag by a shepherd(牧羊人) a few minutes ago.

The wolf asked the old man to let him out.3. _______

He beat the wolf to death by a stick. Then he said to the 8. _______

old man, “wolves want to eat men all the time. It’s nature 9. _______

will never change. We should took this as a good lesson.” 10. ______

答案及解析

1. 删去to。home是副词，前面不能接介词。

2. catching改为caught。主语it与catch的关系为被动关系，故用was caught。

3. 此行无错。

4. bag前加the。bag在此重复提到，为特指。

5. said前加he。代词漏用错误。此句缺少主语，并且要与上文him保持一致。

6. 删去other。接上下文没有“另一个老人”。

7. and(cry)改为but(cry)。can do nothing but意为“只得做”，为习惯搭配。

8. by改为with。介词错误。“用……工具”常用“with...”。

9. It’s改为Its。同音词混淆错误。此处应为“它的本性”。

10. took改为take。情态动词后应接动词原形。

Exercise 7

Dear Sir,

health but would like to make contributions to our 9. _______

country. I should be most grateful if you would favorably

consider my recommendation.

Looking forward to receive your early reply.10. ______

Yours truly,

Wang Li

答案及解析

1. 删去1974前的in。时间状语是年、月、日的只需用一个介词；但若是年、月、日、时的，则要用at six thirty, on the morning of May 4th, 2001。

2. 此行无错。

3. good改为well。固定词组be good at, do well in意为“在……学得很好”。

4. fond前加was。动词谓语残缺错误。fond是形容词，and引导并列谓语结构，故用词组was fond of。

5. 删去into。动词enter是及物动词，直接接宾语。

6. study前加to。此处用不定式短语作目的状语。

7. farther改为further。farther意为“更远的”，表示实际距离；further意为“深远的，进一步的”，指抽象概念，这里为“深造学习”，应用further study。

8. get改为got。时态错误。

9. but改为and。根据上下文逻辑，前后两分句为并列递进关系，而非转折关系。

10. receive改为receiving。look forward to中的to为介词，后面应接名词或动名词。

Exercise 8

Sept. 10th Wednesday Fine

Today is Teacher’s Day. I attended a celebration1. _______

meeting hold by our school. At the meeting, 25 2. _______

advanced teachers were praised and those had3. _______

completed 30 years of teaching were given medals.4. _______

My the first English teacher was one of those praised.5. _______

After the meeting, my classmates and I went to see them.6. _______

Seeing us, the grey-haried teacher looked

exciting. When we said we all wanted to be teachers 7. _______

and devoted ourselves to education in the future, he8. _______

nodded with satisfaction. He said in firm voice, 9. _______

“teaching is a noble job. Man would be stupid with 10. _______

education.” We all agreed and were greatly encouraged by his words.

答案及解析

1. Teacher’s改为Teachers’。“……(人)的节日”一般用名词复数表泛指。如：Children’s Day, Women’s Day等。

2. hold改为held。此处为过去分词作定语表被动关系。

3. had前加who。仔细分析句子结构便可知此处应为定语从句，those或all 等词后只能接who，不能用that。

4. 此行无错。

5. 删去the。序数词前有my等形容词性物主代词时，不需要用定冠词。

6. them改为him。代词指代应一致。根据下文the grey-haired teacher看出，此处应为him。

7. exciting改为excited。人作主语时，表语一般用过去分词；物作主语则用现在分词。

8. devoted改为devote。根据句意可知，and后的devote应与不定式短语be teachers并列。

9. in后加a。in a loud/low voice为固定短语。

10. with改为without。介词逻辑错误。根据常识可判断，该处想表达的原意为“没有教育，人类将会愚昧无知”。

Exercise 9

The other day my brother Tom was beginning his 1. _______

motorbike then our neighbor, Mary came out and asked 2. _______

him if he was going near the station. So he offered her a lift.

She got at the back of the motorbike and3. _______

they drove away. Just before they reached to the station4. _______

a policeman waved to them to stop. “Excuse me, sir,” he

said. “You are not sitting on that motorbike properly.”

“What’s matter with the way I’m sitting?” my brother5. _______

asked in surprise. “Not you, sir. It’s a young lady,” said 6. _______

the policeman. “In this country side-saddle(偏座) is not 7. _______

permitted when one ride a mot orbike.” Mary made an excuse 8. _______

that she was from Italy, where it isn’t considering to9. _______

break the law when people take the side-saddle.

The policeman shook head and drove away.10. ______

答案及解析

1. beginning改为starting。begin和start都有“开始”的意思，但start还可指开动机器等。该句中表示“开动，发动”，因此应用start。

2. then改为when。当前一个分句动作正在进行时，突然又发生了另一动作，应用连词when。

3. at改为on。get on为固定的动词短语，意为“上车”。

4. 删去to。reach为及物动词，其后不接介词。

5. matter前加the。“What’s the matter with...?”是日常生活中常用口语句型。

6. a改为the。这里的young lady特指上文的青年妇女，其前应用定冠词the。

7. 此行无错。

8. ride改为rides。在when引导的时间状语从句中，主语为第三人称单数，谓语为一般现在时态，也应用动词第三人称单数。

9. considering改为considered。在where引导的非限制性定语从句中，主语是谓语动作的承受者，应为被动语态。

10. head前加his。head为可数名词，其前应加限定词。

Exercise 10

Japan is a beautiful country, covering with many1. _______

tiny rivers and high mountains. Japan is also a pleased 2. _______

country. It is known for “the land of the cherry blossom3. _______

(樱花)” because of the spring of the year the cherry 4. _______

trees are so beautiful. Everywhere there are hundred of 5. _______

different kinds of wild flowers. Where there are

not natural gardens, the Japanese 6. _______

has made their own. Because the islands are so hilly7. _______

there is a great shortage of the soil, so very little bit 8. _______

is used. No matter how tiny may be, every home has its 9. _______

own little garden. Japan is a country worthy of a visit. 10. ______

答案及解析

1. covering改为covered。be covered with是固定搭配，意为“为……所覆盖”，此处过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰country。

2. pleased改为pleasant。pleased意为“感动高兴的”，通常用来指人；pleasant意为“令人高兴的”，通常用来指物。

3. for改为as。be known for是“因……而众所周知”的意思；be known as意为“以……知名”。

4. of改为in。此处because引导原因状语从句，从句中in the spring of the year作时间状语。

5. hundred改为hundreds。固定词组hundreds of意为“数以百计的”。

6. not改为no。not为副词，不能修饰名词；修饰名词gardens应用no。

7. has改为have。the Japanese指的是日本人民，应用复数形式。

8. 删去the。soil为物质名词，其前不用定冠词。

9. tiny后加it。此处让步状语从句缺主语。

10. 此行无错。

第三章历年高考改错真题

(1996年～2007年)

together. They eager to know everything about 8. _______

China and asked me lots of question. In fact, 9. _______

they are planning to visit China in next year.10. ______

答案及解析

1. 删去time。

2. 第一个a 改为an。

3. for 改为of。

4. drove 改为drive。to meet 和to drive 是平行结构，可视为drive 前省略to。

5.his改为their。此处为指代错误。因为指史密斯夫妇，故用their。

6. 此行无错。

7. have改为had。综观全篇可知，此处应为一般过去时态。

8. 在eager前加were。eager是形容词，需与系动词共同构成谓语。

9. question改为questions。此处为可数名词。

10. 删去in。含有this, last, next等的时间状语前不加介词。

NMET 1997

Dear Bob,

Hello. I learn about you from my English teacher, 1. _______

Miss Fang. I’d like to your penfriend, and get to 2. _______

know more about your country.

in my spare time, but now I am interesting in football.8. _______

Do you play any ball games? What your favorite9. _______

sport? I look forward to hear from you soon. 10. ______

Yours,

Li Hua

答案及解析

1. learn 改为learnt或learned。

2. to 后加be 或become。

3. 删去more。第一次告诉Bob 关于自己的一些事情，此处用more 不合逻辑。

4. where 改为which。在此非限定性定语从句中，关系词在从句中作主语，故用which。

5. 此行无错。

6. subject 改为subjects。quits a few 意为“相当多”，修饰可数名词复数。

7. use 改为used。据下文but now 可知，此处应用used to do 表示“过去常常做某事”。

8. interesting 改为interested。be interested in…为固定短语，“对……感兴趣”。

9. What 后加is。此句无谓语。

10. hear 改为hearing。look forward to doing sth.为固定短语。

NMET 1998

My Favorite Sport

our school football team. We practise for three times 2. _______

teaches us the important of obedience (服从). Each8. _______

player must obey captain, who is the leader of 9. _______

the team. And they must not break the rules too 10. ______

often if we want to win the game.

答案及解析

1. was 改为am。综观全篇时态可知。

2.删去for。time 表示次数时，之前一般无介词，直接用作状语。如：We have meals three times a day。

3. match 改为matches。

4. Play 改为Playing。此处应用动名词作主语，表示经常性、习惯性动作，而动词不定式作主语则表示一两次的动作。

5. give 改为gives。此处和上文makes 一起作谓语，属平行结构。

6. 此行无错。

7. instead 后加of。instead 为副词，instead of 为介词短语。此处接宾语ourselves，需用介词短语。

8. important 改为importance。

9. captain 前后the。像chairman，captain，monitor，mayor 这类词表示职务时，前面用零冠词。但如这类职务用于指某人时，前面用定冠词。

10. they 改为we。

NMET 1999

The Problem with Television

Now I can’t watch much television but a few years 1. _______

ago I was used to watch it every night. I was often 2. _______

a little tired after a day’s work and watch TV 3. _______

another. I am happy with any programme but 7. _______

the others spent a lot time arguing and there 8. _______

was no way of settling the matter except by 9. _______

selling the TV set. Now someone at home reads instead. 10. ______

答案及解析

1. 删去much。“I can’t watch much television”意为“我不能看许多电视”，上下文逻辑不通。much 属于多余。

2. 删去was。由上文句意可知“我现在不看电视，而过去每晚都看电视”，因此应用used to do。

3. watch 改为watching。作句子主语需用动名词。

4. Unfortunate 改为Unfortunately。此处应用副词作状语。

5. among 改为in。“in my family”为习惯搭配，意为“在我家中”。

6. the 改为one。由下文的another可知，上文用one。

7. am 改为was。综观全文时态可知。

8. a lot 后加of。

9. 此行无错。

10. someone 改为everyone 或everybody。someone 意为“某个人”；everyone/ everybody 意为“每个人”。根据上下文逻辑可知。

2000 春季

can understand. I’ll take this chance to wish 8. _______

you wonderful time on your birthday. Happy 9. _______

birthday, Peter, and many happy return of the day!10. ______

Yours,

Li Ming

答案及解析

1. on 改为for。动词thank 与名词thanks 通常与介词for 搭配。

2. much 后加to。I’d like to do something 为固定结构。

3. had 改为have。综观全文时态可知。

4. but 改为so。根据上下文逻辑，此处应为因果关系。

5. 删去all。all 与the whole 重复，只能保留一处，由于在此题型中，只有多一个单词的可能，故此处只能删去all。

6. prepare 改为preparing。与上文的reading 形成平行结构，以满足“spend some time on sth./in doing sth.这一句型的需要。

7. 删去in。含有this，that，last，next 等的时间状语前不加任何介词。

8. 此行无错。

9. wonderful 前加a。

10. return 改为returns。return 此处为名词，many happy returns of the day 意为“祝你健康长寿”。

NMET 2000

The day before the speech contest (比赛) English teacher1. _______

talked to me. She said that she and my schoolmate all 2. _______

wished me success, but it didn’t matter that I would 3. _______

win or not. When I was on the stage the next day, I felt 4. _______

so nervous as I shook like a leaf. There were so many 5. _______

people present! Suddenly, I caught a sight of my English 6. _______

teacher in the crowd. She was smiling but nodding at 7. _______

me. I remembered her words and calm down. 8. _______

I did a good job and won the first prize.

Now my picture and the prize is hanging in the library.9. _______

Whenever I see them I will often think of my English teacher. 10. ______

答案及解析

1. teacher 前加my。根据下行She said that she and my schoolmate all wished me success，可判断English teacher 应是特指。

2. schoolmate 改为schoolmates。因本句中有all 一词，所以schoolmate 一词应为复数形式。

3. that 改为whether。根据上下文，可判断本句意为“我是否成功没有关系”，所以这里用whether。

4. 此行无错。

5. as 改为that。根据句子结构，so 应与that 构成复合句，that 引导结果状语从句，在此不能用as 引导。

6. 删去a。catch sight of 为固定搭配，sight 前不加任何冠词。

7. but 改为and。smiling 和nodding 为两个并列动作，在逻辑上无转折关系，故but 改为and。

8. calm 改为calmed。在and 连接的两个并列句中，remember 和calm 为两个并列动作，为过去时态。故calm 改为calmed。

9. is 改为are。本句用my picture 和the prize 作主语，是复数形式，后谓语动词应和其主语保持一致。

10. 删去often。句首已用whenever “无论何时”，在句中就没必要用often 了。

2001春季

biology, chemistry ,geography, physics. I think I 2. _______

liked those classes because I felt that it helped me 3. _______

mysteries look into. What was my least favorite class? 8. _______

That was maths. After learn the basics of the subject, 9. _______

nothing else seemed very practically to me . I never 10.______

saw how I could use it in my daily life.

答案及解析

1. class 改为classes。class 为可数名词，根据下文，这里class 为复数，故改为classes。

2. 此行无错。

3. it 改为they。这里指代上文的those classes。

4. what 改为how。work 此处为不及物动词，不可用连接代词what 作宾语，只可用连接副词how 作状语。
