备战2010高考英语命题特点分析及答题技巧指导:十四、短文改错
②介词多余
例:My wife is also happy because of I have given up smoking.
讲解:这里显然示对because of与because用法的辨别区分。
③介词用错(一般为固定搭配)
例:I pick out her false hair and said, “Don’t be sad, Miss.”
讲解:pick out应该为pick up。pick out挑选的意思;pick up捡起的意思。
5.连词
(1)主要考察能力:前后两句话之间的衔接关系。
常考三种关系:but转折and并列because原因
① 例: One day, my wife and I went shopping at a store. We drove the car but we had a lot of things to buy.
讲解:显然原文中所要表达的意思是“我们开车去的原因是因为我们要买好多东西”,所以应该把but改为because/as/for。
②例:Chatting on line, students can more freely express their feelings and opinions, but improve their English if they are talking with native speakers.
讲解:原文表达的意思是“通过网上聊天,学生能够更加轻松自由地表达自己的想法和观点,并且如果他们同外国人交谈,能够提高他们的英语水平。”所以前后句之间是并列关系,因该把but改为and.
6.句式
(1)主要考察能力:常考that与what或which/how与what之间的转换。
(2)出题形式:
①例: She never has enough time for that she wants to do.
讲解:原文意思是“她没有足够多的时间来做自己想做的事情”,很明显应该把that改为what。
注意:这一形式是改错常考点。
②例: We Chinese people have always been concerned about which has happened in your area.
讲解:原文中需要一个连接词承接前后连个句子,这个连接词充当be concerned about引导宾语从句中的主语,所以应该把which改为what。
7. 冠词
(1)主要考察能力:句中冠词是否多余
(2)出题形式:
①冠词多余
例:I sat in the front of the TV at 7 o’clock, when the game just began.
讲解:区分in front of sth和in the front of sth。解决这个问题记住一句顺口溜就可以了“有the是内无the是外”,即in the front of sth显然是指在事物(sth)内部空间的前面,比如说I prefer to travel in the front of the car.(我愿意坐在汽车的前面);而in front of sth是指事物(sth)外部空间的前面,比如说the car stops in front of the house(汽车停在房前)。因此原文中应该把the去掉。
②冠词遗漏
例: As we all left home at early age, we met lots of problems in our daily life.
讲解:at an ---- age固定搭配词组,表示“出于---年龄”,比如说at an early/tender age,可以翻译为“很小/年幼的时候”
8.代词
(1)主要考察能力:代词是否多余,以及与反身代词之间的混用。
(2)出题形式:
①代词多余
例: Don’t lose your heart. With the help of the people all over the world, I’m sure you will get rid of the sorrow and unhappiness.
讲解:lose heart:become discouraged泄气;丧失勇气;而lose one’s heart(to sb/st):fall in love爱上;钟情于。原文意思很明显是“别泄气”。所以应该把your去掉。一字之差,离题千里。
②代词混用
例: We were living in a big family. We treate each other as brothers and sisters. If any one of them had any difficulty, the other would help him or her out.
讲解: 原文意思是说“我们生活在一个大家庭之中,彼此间相处如同兄弟姐妹。如果我们之中谁有困难,其他人就会帮助他/她解决困难。”所以应把them改为us;把other改为others。
注意:the other表示两者之中“另一个”;the others表示在一个范围内的其他全部。
③代词遗漏
例: A teacher could make classes lively and interesting.
讲解: 应该在classes前加his,表示“使他的课堂生动有趣”。
作形式主语和形式宾语的it.
I find difficult to make friends with you. 我发现跟你交朋友很难。
