练习1：
Dear Miss Veans,
I was wondering that whether you could help us revise a short play adapting from our English textbook.
One of the stories we have read interest us a lot. It is about the adventures of three men—a naturalist, his colleague and a sailor, they are captured at sea by Captain Nemo. At board Nemo’s submarine, they take an adventure across the world beneath the ocean, meeting many challenges—huge icebergs, angry sharks and terrified squids. Fortunately, the three men survive. One day the submarine is sucked into a huge maelstrom and the three prisoners made their bid for freedom. In word, it is an exciting story.
Could you kindly give us some guidances? First of all, could you check the language for us? Secondly, please give us some advice on our acting. If possibly, could I meet you in your office at 10 a.m. to discuss it with you?
We are looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
练习2：
Look at this picture. It′s the London Tea Trade Centre, located in the North Bank of the River Thames. It is the center of important industry in the everyday life of the British people.
Tea is the British nation drink. Every man, woman and children over ten years of age, has on average over four cups a day, or some 1,500 cups annually. About 30 percent of the world′s export of tea make its way to London. Britain is by far the larger importer of tea in the world. The second picture shows you that how tea is tasted here before it′s sold. Different types of tea are laying out on a long table and tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is why the majority of British people drink its tea.
练习3：
Tourists climb for two hours to reach the top of a mountain in Peru, struggled for breath. But they are happy to see the beautiful sceneries there. Lines of rich colors form that has become known as “Rainbow Mountain”. The colors come from special rock remains. It’s five years since the world has learned of the existence of this natural wonder.
Many people come to see them. To villagers who take up their traditional transport trade, the bigger difference is that they now move tourists instead goods. Tourism has provided much-needed economic help for an area. Environmentalists, besides, fear tourists will destroy everything which makes this place distinctive.
练习4：

练习6：
Last term, my parents promised when I did well in my exams, they would give me the special prize. After that I worked hardly and finally got very good marks. Knowing my dream was to see some real snow, my parents took me a local ski resort during my winter holiday. As we climb the mountains, we saw the snow on the tree. No one in my family had ever been touched snow before. We were all exciting like little children but delighted to play with the snow! We picked the snow up, made snowballs and threw it at each other! How happy we were!
练习7：
Food is important to us human beings. However, some students are seen wasted food in the canteen these day. And now the situation is getting seriously. Saving food was our duty because food doesn’t come easily. We must respect or save food to show our gratefulness. Meanwhile, if we save food, more people in the poor areas can get food eat, which also helps fight against hunger. I also suggest those which waste food should get punish. Only then will they save food and respect their meals from the bottom of our hearts. As far as I’m concerned, we students should form a good habit of saving food. Let’s take the action now!
练习8：
In a freezing cold winter, Cory Richards was climbing down from Gasherbrum II, the 13th tall mountain peak in the world, when his life changed in an instant. Lied between Pakistan and China, the mountain is not easy to climb and the cold that day was painful. As Richards and his team was climbing down, they heard a noise and looked down. They saw
snow and ice coming toward them. They were hit and throwing to the ground. Luckily they all survive. Seeing his partners were safe, so Richards took some pictures, which captured the accident they had experienced. One of these photo made him become famous photographer. Sometimes it is something unexpected which can change your life forever.
练习9：
Cantonese is a variety of Chinese. It dated back to more than 2000 years ago. The term
“Cantonese” came from Canton, a name formerly used for Guangzhou, that is the capital of Guangdong Province. In China, Cantonese is mainly speaking in Guangdong Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Hong Kong, or Macau. It is also wide used by Chinese people living in Southeast Asia and Western country.
Cantonese is ancient variety and it is also modern. Compared with other Chinese varieties, Cantonese is more difficult to understand it. So it sometimes causes puzzlement and even misunderstanding among people. But, many people show great interest to it.
Last week my parents and I took a two-days trip to Emei Mountain in Sichuan. As every one knows, it’s famous mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather was fine. It was about noon we arrived at the foot of the mountain. The three of them were very excited. As we climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples and told stories. On the way up I was busy taking picture since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly. Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was good. I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow. （二） Many teachers worry about the effects of television with young people. According to studies, many children spend more time watching television than they spend in school. Because so much viewing, children may not be develop the habit of read and the ability to enjoy themselves. No one worries much about the radio program young people listen to, although radios can be very noise. Teachers also wonder about the effects of television commercials. On one year the average child will see 25,000 television commercials, all planned and written by grown-ups to make children to want things that they don't real need. （三） I’m the captain o f our school team so with my fellow players we’ve won sever al games. There will an important game next month. But one of the best player in our team told me just then that he wouldn’t play basketball once more. His parents asked him to spend in more time preparing for the college entrance examination. I feel sorry to him. But his parents think go to college is more important than playing sports and college was the only place for a smart boy like his son. So my friend had no choice. He wanted to make their parents happy. (四) When I first learned to write English, I ran into many difficulties . The main problem was in that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate anything into English. My teacher advised me to keep my diary. I followed her advice and should put down 100 words or so each day. Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself on paper as I was learning to express me in simple English .One day I wrote a little story and showed to my teacher .She liked it very much and reads it to the class .All said the story was a good one. Their word were a great encouragement to me. （五） Dear Ralph, I’m a newcomer here of a small town. I would describe myself as shy and quietly. Before my classmates, it seems always difficult for me to do things as well them. I'm sure they will laugh to me and see me as a fool. So I feel happy every day. Besides, I have few friends. I don't know that they don't like to talk with me. Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become stranger at once. I am trying to improve the situation since it doesn’t seem to work. Can you tell me about what I should do? Yours, Xiao Wei

高考英语短文改错考点解析-形容词与副词 一、考点规律分析 短文改错对形容词与副词的考查主要涉及形容词和副词比较等级的误用（尤其是在本身已是比较级的词前误加more）、形容词与副词的混用（如修饰动词时误用形容词或修饰名 词时误用副词）等，另外，用作表语时该用形容词的却误用了名词、简短副词（如in，down 等）的误加与漏用、涉及形容词搭配的as…as 结构、how 与what 的混用等也是常考的考点。 二、真题单句归纳 （1）After an hour or so we began to feel very frightening. （frightening 改为frightened，因它表示某人感到害怕，而不是令人害怕）（全国卷） （2）Charles said，“As soon as I see a realy tall building，I want to climb it. （realy 改为really 或real，若改为really，则修饰tall；若改为real，则修饰building）（全国卷）（3）Last Sunday，police cars hurry to the taller building in New York. （taller 改为tallest，因从含义上看此处应是最高级）（全国卷） （4）As a result，people in the modern world generally live much more longer than people in the past. （去掉more，因为longer 本身已是比较级，不能再受more 修饰）（全国卷）（5）Therefore，there are still some countries where people have shorter lives. （Therefore 改为However，因此处语意转折）（全国卷） （6）People in industrial countries can expect to live for twice so long as people who lived a few hundred years ago. （so long as 改为as long as，其意为“与……一样长”）（全国卷）（7）In some places you may borrow many books as you want. （many 之前加as，因 as …… as 结构不完整）（全国卷） （8）I told Mother，Father，Sister and all my friends here that a great time I had. （that 改为what）（全国卷） （9）I never knew a ride down a river could be so much exciting. （去掉much，因much 不能用来修饰形容词的原级，尽管它可用来修饰比较级和最高级）（全国卷）（10）I‘m sure we’ll have a wonderfully time together. （wonderfully 改为wonderful，因它是放在名词前作定语）（全国卷）

高考英语短文改错分类解析 解题步骤： 1. 着手篇章，了解大意 考生做短文改错时，不应急于改错，而应先把文章浏览一遍，弄清文章的脉络层次和中心思想，把握作者所采用的时态、语态、人称和数。可以先把短文中明显的错误(如固定词组、词性、单复数)或认为有可能的错误(如句子结构的错误)用铅笔轻轻地标出来，为下一步正式改错做准备。 2. 逐句分析，依句改错 在短文改错中，题随行出、错随句生。因此，考生应在略读全文、把握文章中心思想的基础上，对文章进行逐行逐句研究，从词汇的用法、句子的结构到文章的篇章逻辑都要进行仔细地推敲，把错误之处一一改正过来，切不可孤立地依行改错。若一时发现不了错误，不要揪住一处不放而耽搁太多时间。可以在全文改完以后，再回过头来进行难点突破。若已改出了八、九处错误，剩余一两处实在找不出错误而时间又来不及时，则大胆地打上钩，不留空白。当然，有些考生在考试过程中由于紧张而脾气急躁，一看找不到错处就打勾，这也是不明智的。因为近几年来，该题的出题方式基本稳定，只有一处是正确的。 3. 复读全文，检查核对 考生在做完短文改错题后，务必要把已改好的短文复读一遍，查看是否出现疏漏或遗漏的地方，特别要注意时态、语态、代词所指及人称和数等篇章逻辑方面的问题，检查无误后方可定稿作答。 错误分类解析： 高考英语短文改错分类解析---名词 一、考点规律分析 短文改错的名词考点主要涉及名词的单复数问题，即在该用复数的地方误用其单数，或在该用单数的地方误用其复数。 二、真题单句归纳 (1) We stopped to rest for a while and to drink some waters from a stream.

1. Three friends and I was driving on a highway. While we were going at least 50 miles per hour, we passed over a car. It had broken down, stopped on the side of the road. My friend slows down, and pulled behind the other car. He got out of the car immediate and before I knew it he was helping the other person push the car down the road to a spot where wasn’t so close to the passing cars. From the way they were pushing the car, it looked as if my friend was pushing them all by himself. I thought my friend help a complete stranger like this was a great thing, but I won’t forget his good nature or character. 2. Dear Brad, I’m very glad to hear from you. In your last letter you ask about the post-80s in China. Actually I am the boy who belongs to this group. Comparing with our parents, life for us is getting much hard. The job market is tough and the house is expensively to afford. Now many girls prefer to marry with a man who owns a house and a car. Therefore, I don’t think love built on house and cars is true love, and I doubt how long it will last. As a matter of fact, though situations are tough today, a lot of we post-80s are making great efforts live a good life. I believe we will have a nice future. Li Hua 3. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, Some of us are having problems about our parents, as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries. I fully understand why we are comfortable about it, but it is no need to feel too sadly. Our parents are checking in our bags or diaries to make sure we’re not getting into troubles. They have probably heard of some horrible stories about other kids and thinking we might do the same. Or perhaps they just want to connect with us and are doing it all wrong. My suggestion is: Tell them we want them to trust us as many as we’d like to trust them. If you don’t think you can talk to them, write them a letter and leave it lie around --- they are bound to read it. Thank you!
