【名师点睛】

在短文改错中常出现的错误主要有以下几类：

1. 名词单复数用错，可数与不可数名词的混用。比如第5题：考查名词的单复数。因为前文中有full，可知是全部的准备。故preparation---preparations。

2. 动词：时态和语态，常出现在总体时态为过去或现在时，中间杂有不适的另一时态的现象；或是及物动词后无宾语，或是不及物动词后加了宾语；需要接ing形式的接了to，或相反等。

3. 形容词副词：常出现需形容词的地方用了副词或相反；关系副词where， when， why等的缺失或错用。比如第10题：考查词性。此处修饰life，应该用形容词。故balance---balanced。 4. 介词：主要是介词的多余或缺失，错用。

5. 主谓一致性：第三人称单数漏掉s，或主语为复数，谓语动词用了单数；再就是就近原则对主语的影响。

6. 冠词：定冠词the的多余或缺失，如季节，月份，星期，球类及三餐活动，称呼头衔前等不能加the的地方加了the。

7. 数词：主要是序数词与基数词的混用和错用。

8. 连词：不合句中的逻辑关系。如需转折连词（如but）的时候用了承接连词（so），或相反等等。比如第8题：考查连词。此处指的是或者而非并列，故and---or。

9. 代词：主要是代词的格与数的错用。如男性用了女性代词，单数用了复数代词或相反；应当用形容

词性的物主代词用了宾格，主格或相反，关系代词的错用或缺失。

10. 常用固定短语或固定用法及句型用错。比如第1题：考查固定用法。根据后文的that可知，此处为so.....that用法。故too---so。
