英语短文改错题技巧总结

　　1. 动词时态

每年都有时态错误的小题，而且改动基本集中在一般过去时与一般现在时之间。时态的更改要以上下文的主体时态为依据。

（1）（2003全国卷）She liked it very much and reads it to the class. All said the story was... 84. read

（and连接并列谓语）

（2）（2004江苏卷）At once I apologize and controlled myself... 83. apologized

（and连接并列谓语）

（3）（2004全国卷） Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class,... 82. talk

（根据sometimes可判断此句为一般现在时）

（4）（2005全国卷Ⅱ）I will write again and send you the photos we take together. 85. took

（把照片寄给你，应该是已经拍好的'，用过去时）

（5）（2005全国卷Ⅰ） There are advantage for students to work while studying at school. One of them was that they can earn money. 77. is

（从上下文判断，应该是现在时，谓语用is）

（6）（2005江苏卷）We named him Jack and keep him for about three years. 76. kept

（and连接并列谓语）

　　2. 名词单复数

单复数互改是高考英语改错题的基本题型之一，改动的依据有：一是根据名词前的修饰限定成份；二是根据上下文的逻辑关系。

（1）（2003全国卷）Their word were a great encouragement to me. 85. words

（是把word改为words 还是把were改为was，根据名词前的修饰限定词their来决定。）

（2）（2004江苏）that was a dinner we had waited for several month. 85. months

（several修饰复数名词）

（3）（2004全国卷Ⅰ） a few minute on the Internet. 77. minutes

（a few修饰复数名词）

（4）（2005全国卷Ⅱ）But one and a half year later. 79. years

（one and a half意思为一年半，故判断此处year应为复数形式）

（5）（2005全国卷Ⅰ）There are advantage for students to work... 76. advantages

（从there are 判断应该用名词复数）
