第十一讲 短文改错
题型解读及答题技巧:
短文改错是几大题型中最简单的一道题, 但从历年评卷反馈的信息来看多数考生得分不高, 分析原因: 一方面是重视程度不够, 考生在这一题型上没有用足时间, 《考试大纲》给出的参考答题时间有十分钟, 但多数考生往往三五分钟就草草做完了; 另一方面是语法知识薄弱。 这一题型对语法的考查较多, 不系统掌握语法知识是很难拿高分的。
除了上述两方面以外, 掌握做题的方法和技巧对做好这一题也很关键, 下面简单介绍做题的一些技巧:
要先通读全文, 理解大意, 再逐行改错。 先把固定搭配、习惯用法、主谓一致、代词一致、时态语态等方面的简单错误找出来并改正; 剩下几行不容易发现错误要从以下几个方面检查。 1)连词错误, 2)表趋向的动词和副词(go/come, take/bring, here/there)的错误。3) 词义的重叠, 4)双介词的情况。(这些错误都是把英语作为第二语言的人极易犯的错误, 一般不易发现)
例如:1). I was also glad that I could experience a different climate, so I was really unprepared for the English winter. (连词错误so改为although, 连词错误要根据前后两个简单句的语义关系来判断)。
2)Go and fetch me some water. (语义重叠,fetch改为bring )
Return back to school.(语义重叠, 去掉back)
3) He came to the surface under water.(under前面加from)
4) He heard a cry for help under the tree. (under前面加from)
若仍然还有两行以上找不出错误, 不妨换个角度思考;有没有找出多词的情况,有没有找出漏词的情况等, 因为规范的试题在错误和改法设置上是这样安排的: 多词1-2处;漏词1-2处(多词和漏词加起来三处); 正确1处; 其余6处是需要改正的。
